International cricket tournament
Cricket tournament
The
2005 ICC Trophy
was a
cricket
tournament held in
Ireland
between 1 July and 13 July 2005. It was an international one-day tournament played over 50 overs per side between 12 Associate Members of the
International Cricket Council
. It served as the final part of the
Cricket World Cup qualification
process, coming with the prize of a place in the
2007 Cricket World Cup
(and together with it a share of US$2.5 million for future development) for the five top-ranked teams, and with the prize of official
One-Day International
status from 1 January 2006 (until the 2009 ICC Trophy) for the five top-ranked teams along with Kenya (who had already been given official one-day status until the 2009 ICC Trophy and a spot in the 2007 World Cup).
For the first time, five spots were on offer for the World Cup, compared to three previously. On 7 July, the top 4 teams
Scotland
,
Canada
and for the first time
Ireland
and
Bermuda
qualified for the 2007 Cricket World Cup and, from 1 January 2006, gained official
One-Day International
status. On 11 July the
Netherlands
also achieved this by beating the
United Arab Emirates
to finish fifth. Scotland won the tournament, beating Ireland by 47 runs in the final.

It was the final edition of this competition titled 'ICC Trophy' before it was renamed to the 'Cricket World Cup Qualifier' for 2009.

- The 2005 ICC Trophy featured coloured player clothing, white cricket balls and black
sight screens
instead of the traditional white clothing, red ball and white sight screens which had been used in the previous editions.
- All matches were accorded
List A
status unlike the previous editions which were classified as minor matches.
Competition format
[
edit
]
The 12 teams were divided into two groups of six teams. Each team played with each other in its group once. Five matches per team were played between 1 July and 7 July. The resulting group tables were then each divided into three bands of two teams each.
Combining the two groups, the four teams in each band then played a mini knock-out tournament consisting of two semi-finals, a championship, and a
consolation match
, so that the first- and second-ranked teams from each of the original groups were playing for first through fourth place in the tournament overall; the third- and fourth-ranked teams for fifth through eighth; and the fifth- and sixth-ranked teams for ninth through twelfth. Thus at the end of the tournament all teams are given a definitive rank between 1 and 12. The final play-offs were played on 11 July with the final on 13 July.
Apart from the academic interest in this final classification, one match in particular had great significance: the winner of the second band's mini tournament would, by taking fifth place overall, become the fifth and final team to win temporary ODI status and an invitation to the
2007 Cricket World Cup
.

Cricket World Cup
. The UAE batted first, making 230 in 48.3 overs before being bowled out, and a fiery opening spell from

All of the Group A games were washed out or abandoned because of weather conditions. Under the playing conditions, the rest day was only to be used as a reserve day if all matches in both groups were washed out. Therefore, the games between Ireland and the United States, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates (after the UAE had reached 57 for 3 after 15 overs), and Uganda and Bermuda were all "no results". The wash-out eliminates the United States from World Cup and ODI status contention.
- United States won the toss and elected to field.
Bermuda, who were ranked as the third-best team from the Americas coming into the tournament easily overcame the United States. 132 from only 88 balls from JJ Tucker and 52 extras saw the Bermudians through to 311 for 8. The Americans started by keeping up with the run rate, but wickets fell and they finished all out for 198.
- Ireland won the toss and elected to bat.
Ireland (222 all out) beat Denmark (149 all out) to take the remaining automatic qualifying spot for the World Cup and ODI status.
- Uganda won the toss and elected to field.
The UAE (201 all out) secured a 63 run victory over Uganda (138 all out) to make sure they would be in the 5th place semi-final along with the Danes.

- Namibia won the toss and elected to field.

Kevin Sandher
's five wickets. Namibia put in a protest, however, claiming that the scoring in the 45th over was wrong. The technical committee turned down Namibia's protest, which prompted Namibia to put in an appeal. Namibia's appeal against the technical committee's ruling was turned down, meaning that Canada retain the 2 points they won on 1 July.
