If we pick up a few big wins this year, we can be 8th again.

It has nothing to do with 2019 qualification. A read the thread title and the opening post. doesn't make any sense to me.

More like WI fell (2011) with the strike of players. Still tied at 66. Technically, yes!! But argument still stands that unless we go up in the ICC rankings now, we have to play the qualification round. This WC seeding has nothing to do with that.

So what is the conclusion, are we already screwed or not? Cricket chere onno khela dekha suru korbo naki?

ICC kisher bichi ropon korilo? Agey tou bhebechilam ghash, ekon to dekhi agacha.

This made me really laugh, it's true it's part of our survival mechanism.

You are part right and part wrong on this one. True pundits don't care much about a team making to the Q-F but they are giving us respect for the consistency we've showed, which is 4 hard fought and competitive matches out of 5 on our way to Q-F. As bad as our performance was in the quarters it was still better than all the other losing participants of the round.
