Newzealand crushed helpless Ireland by record 290 runs....!! Fair?!?!

its a chicken or egg situation for the ICC, unless these minoos are allowed to play with the big boys they will not graduate to the top level and if they are allowed obviously records are going to get created, so this is an unavoidable situation and this is going to continue until ICC gathers some 24 full time cricket playing nations, once they have that many countries playing the game icc can stipulate the level of standards to be achieved by the other teams to compete with the top teams, but under the current situation this is totally unavoidable. I feel cricket has a bright future, especially the 20-20 version, big teams should initially play only 20-20 with the small ones, and 20-20 can do wonders to the development of cricket.

sure the margin is big and certainly is a world record but this cannot be remembered as the greatest victories in the cricket history. this victory has not any remarkable thing other than the margin. the status of both countries are just like land and sky. the associated countries don't have professional structure and they play the game only for time pass. in soccer if brazil defeats india by a margin of 20 goals, its not a big deal, it might be the world record, but who cares
