[QUOTE="Northern_Brewer, post: 1100761, member: 24211"] Of course, it depends a bit on how you define "occupied" (1945?) and "governed", arguably William & Mary means that you could argue all the above are Dutch in origin! Afghan is a bit debatable, it's never really been "controlled" by the UK and cricket only really became a thing there once the Taliban were pushed back - it's been a huge success in a country that desperately needed some good news. They were due to make the big step up to Test cricket this year but unfortunately events got in the way. I assume that's the 1-day list - you'll see in practice there's a huge step between the 10 Test-playing nations which are all above 2000 points and the rest (aside from Zimbabwe, who have their own issues). I notice you didn't use [URL='https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/mens/team-rankings/t20i']the T20 list[/URL], which has the likes of Nepal and Namibia above NL. [/QUOTE]
