I admit that I have been fond of men's cricket for the past year (mainly watching some associated members' matches in the background while doing other things), but this time I am casting my eyes on women's cricket (but objectively it is much less interesting).

 

The European Division Two for the Women's T20 World Cup qualifiers are underway in Rome, with the top two national teams advancing to Division One with Ireland and Holland. Italy is certainly one of the favourites, certainly on paper superior to the other continentals, but watch out for the British dependencies,

Italy and Germany qualify for the next stage of European qualifying alongside The Netherlands and Ireland.

Italy surclassed all the other teams, we had just a bit of troubles with Jersey. We'll surely finish 3rd in the European Qualifiers, but I'm really curious to see our girls against two serious team. Hoping for a decent tournament

Neither the Irish or the Dutch have had good results lately so Italy might have a good chance.

I think we're still a good (great) bat and a good (great) bowler short of the top 2 teams in the final round, but who knows? I guess we've had some good injections lately and we're on the rising curve (meanwhile the other 2 aren't)

I can think of 3 more Australian women who probably have Italian ancestry but the problem is that they are also close to making the Australian team.

yeah, and now with the new Italian law on the ius sanguinis citizenship it's also a lot harder to be eligible for our passport (and National team for what concerns the sport competitions) :facepalm:

    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
