I dont think Namibia can't qualify unless they beat Canada tomorrow which looks unlikely but you never know about WCL. Thank god Namibia don't have many fans as most of them would have died from heart attacks owing to their performances.
Kenya wasn't this bad in WCL Div1. Many Associate "experts" ranked them and UAE as favorites and the way they are playing they are more likely to finish bottom 2.
Are you Namibian ?
Nope I am not but I have been following their cricket since 2012 and a fan of their side after I visited the country.
There is a huge similarity between Zimbabwe & Kenya, one struggling to keep their full members, test playing nation sentiment as they are facing struggle to beat, playing thrillers against new commers in the international cricket, showing massive inconsistentcy and another struggling to keep their nation in the game as they are struggling to beat associate nations.
Both team once surprised the world cricket, Zimbabwe in 1992, 1999 World Cups and Kenya in 1996 and 2003 World Cups
I was rooting for Nepal and Canada and looks like Canada are almost guaranteed to go through and maybe even clinched a spot in ZIM. But for Nepal their only hope is to beat Canada in the final group game - and that is highly highly unlikey.
Canada and UAE/Namibia are going to get the final slots in WCQ.
This means the ODI rankings are:
9) West Indies
10) Zimbabwe
11) Afghanistan
12) Ireland
13) Netherlands
14) Scotland
15) Hong Kong
16) PNG
17) Canada
18/19) UAE/Namibia
20) Nepal
21) Oman
22) Kenya
Nepal has a long way to go and the USA isn't even in the top 22! These guys would be out by a long way even in a 16 team WC.

Wonder what it would take for our mob to take a leaf out of her book? It would be great if we could exile them to St. Helena where they could play beach football with each other until hell freezes over 😂

Considering there are hardly any beaches on St. Helena it sounds like a great idea. They can take turns retrieving the ball from over the cliff.
