Pubudu Dassanayake, the former Nepal coach, believes the sides current crop of players led by Paras Khadka have the ability to be a top-flight Associate alongside Ireland and Afghanistan provided the countrys administrative issues are resolved.With Nepal, Im glad that I brought them from Division Four to Division One, Dassanayake told ESPNcricinfo during a recent interview in the USA, where he has been shortlisted as a leading candidate for the USA coaching job. There are great moments like when we qualified for the 2014 World T20 but I still feel that team is capable of being in the Ireland or Afghanistan level.I personally feel that if the environment was right, I would have taken this team into another level but with the set-up they had I am satisfied with where they are right now.Dassanayake coached Nepal from 2011 through last December before stepping down from the role. He has been at the forefront of several highs, like helping them climb up the World Cricket League ladder from Division Four in Malaysia in 2012 all the way up to the top division in the WCL Championship. The biggest highlight of his stint, however, was their maiden World T20 appearance in 2014, where they beat Afghanistan and Hong Kong.He briefly came back on a consultancy basis, coaching the team to two wins in the WCL Championship over Namibia in April. He also worked with the side during their tour of the UK which included a historic win over the MCC at Lords, which he says was a great experience in their build-up to two crucial WCL Championship matches against Netherlands.Of course everybody was excited to play in that ground, and feel that set-up, but it was actually beyond what I thought, Dassanayake said of the MCC game at Lords. It was a great atmosphere with around 5000 Nepalese watching and cheering the team. Even though it was just another game of cricket, I think that atmosphere really had a big effect on the Nepal team. For an Associate, getting that experience will really help raise their game to the next level.Nepal currently sit in sixth place with four points on the WCL Championship table, six behind leaders Netherlands. Dassanayake, who returned to Canada after his consultancy stint, praised the players work ethic which he thought helped build a bond. However, he also expressed concern at the ongoing administrative upheavals in view of government interference in the board, which included an ICC suspension in April.We had lots of issues on the way in the last four or five years, Dassanayake said. But at the same time currently the team has reached a certain level. For them to push into the next level, they need the background, they need the domestic cricket structure apart from parallel work off the field. I hope that ICC really is getting involved in that system and puts things together.Nepal, I think what I had to do I did for them for four or five years. They have some great players, the captain and some of the senior players, they know what it takes to go to the next level and I personally feel that somebody else can help that process. Currently, everybody is in the dark with the administration side because that has to be settled for them to hire a coach so that process will take time. Cheap Air Max Plus From China .

Team news:Its almost a cliche now but rarely have we seen a closer NRL competition than this year.When Melbourne and Cronulla kick-off on Saturday night to decide the 2016 minor premiership, there will have been 372 NRL games that have come and gone and still it boils down to the final round to decide top spot after the regular season.Cronulla will assume the mental edge after downing the Melbourne 14-6 when the two sides last met in round four and a timely return to the winners list against the Roosters will lift confidence.History weighs heavily in favour of Melbourne, the Storm having won two-thirds of the encounters between the clubs while they havent lost to the Sharks at home since 2008.Melbourne Storm:?1. Cameron Munster, 2. Suliasi Vunivalu, 3. Will Chambers, 4. Ryan Morgan, 5. Marika Koroibete, 6. Blake Green, 7. Cooper Cronk, 8. Jesse Bromwich, 9. Cameron Smith, 10. Tim Glasby, 11. Kenny Bromwich, 12. Tohu Harris, 13. Dale Finucane. Interchange: 14. Felise Kaufusi, 15. Christian Welch, 16. Jordan McLean, 17. Ben Hampton, 21. Matt White.Cronulla Sharks:?1. Ben Barba, 2. Sosaia Feki, 3. Jack Bird, 4. Gerard Beale, 5. Valentine Holmes, 6. James Maloney, 7. Chad Townsend, 8. Andrew Fifita, 9. Michael Ennis, 10. Matt Prior, 11. Luke Lewis, 12. Wade Graham, 13. Paul Gallen. Interchange: 14. Joseph Paulo, 15. Chris Heighington, 16. Jesse Sene-Lefao, 17. Jayson Bukuya.What they said:These guys (Cronulla) are very good at being aggressive and trying to put you off your game, we just cant allow that to happen. - Cameron Smith, Storm captain.Youve just got to prepare for a tough game ... theyre going to come down here and play an aggressive style so weve got to match that. - Jesse Bromwich, Storm prop.It is always good fun coming up against quality opposition so Saturday night should be a good test. - Blake Green, Storm five-eighth.Theyre always hard down there. Their record over the past 10 years shows theyre a tough team and weve got now doubt how hard its going to be for us. - Wade Graham, Sharks forward.Key head-to-head - Cameron Smith vs Michael EnnisTwo of the craftiest players in the NRL and the two players that hold the key to victory for their respective teams.As dummy-halves, they will have their hands on the ball more often than most and that alone makes them a major threat to the opposition.Smith is arguably the smartest brain in the competition; he understandss the game better than any other.dddddddddddd Hes neither fast, big and is no great stepper, but he has an ability to influence referees as well as mesmerise and manipulate opposing defences with his scheming.Michael Ennis has similar qualities and although not as polished in each area, he is a genuine competitor that will do anything to win for his teammates. He is a world-class niggler and has the ability to unsettle the opposition with some subtle actions or a few well chosen words.Key Stats:The Storm have won 12 of their previous 15 matches against the Sharks.The Sharks have won just four matches against the Storm in Melbourne.The Storm boast a strong head to head record over the Sharks - winning 20 of 30 matches.The Storm are coming off a defeat to Brisbane but are yet to lose consecutive games this season.UBET verdict:Melbourne Storm ($1.45) v Cronulla Sharks ($2.75), AAMI Park, Saturday at 7.30pmThe Sharks got back into the winners list last week but the worry is they did give the Roosters 12 points start.The Storm were beaten last week, but the minor premiership awaits the winner, so there is plenty on the line.Cronulla defeated Melbourne the last time they met but all of the early money is on Melbourne.Weather:Sydney is expecting a chilly temperature of 11 degrees by kick-off with only a 10 percent chance of rain.Prediction:The finals start a week early for these two sides and Melbourne have too much experience in this area for Cronulla.Its no secret that Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk are key for the Storm - both have regularly shown at club, Origin and international level that the bigger the game, the better they play and this is the type of environment they enjoy most.The Sharks have had a fantastic season but I still have my doubts that they can find another gear required for finals football and its a quality theyll need to show against the Storm on Saturday.After a month without a win, Paul Gallens return from injury made a noticeable difference to Cronullas physicality and composure. The Sharks are a huge chance of claiming their first minor premiership since 1999 but I am just leaning towards the Storm on this occasion because of the Smith/Cronk factor, their superior experience and the home ground advantage.Tip: Melbourne by 8 ' ' '
