Doesn't look good for them

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Go Ireland!

 

[MickeyD]

WI needs a steady partnership, not a boundary fest.

 

[Hectic]

Not much batting left. Russel and Holder(maybe, sort of, meh)

 

[MickeyD]

[Hectic]

[Hectic]

302/7(49.5)

[AirWolf]

Every team batting first has posted a 300+ score and won so far.

 

[AirWolf]

Go Ireland!

Nitin Chaudhary: "Reason this is match might not have same ending as SA vs Zim match 1. chasing 300 is 10 time easier than chasing 350 2. WI bowling is not same as SA 3. WI fielding is no same as SA 4. Ireland have better hitter and better lower middle order as compare to Zim 5. After last WC win over Eng they have self belief. "

162/1 after 25 overs. Ireland doing well for themselves.

 

[SlowInternet]

Indeed. Have to gamble a bit to spice things up

The way Ireland is batting now you might be correct again.

 

[MickeyD]

WI 304/7 (50 ov)

Simmons 102 (84)
Sammy 89 (88)
Dockrell 3/50

Ireland 307/6 (45.5 ov)

Stirling 92 (84)
E Joyce 84 (67)
N O'Brien 79* (60)

Ireland win by 4 wickets

Ireland cruising. We all know WI are rubbish but this is a whole new level of rubbish.

Next Sunday's match between India and SA at the SCG... 80 000 tickets - sold out !!

WOW!! That's quite amazing for a pool game!! Wonder if it's a record crowd for a pool game at the CWC's?

The SA-Ind game is at MCG not the SCG...the latter is unable to hold over 50,000.

Last Saturday's Aus-Eng game had 84,400 at MCG. Dont read to much into it.Melbourne will fill up the MCG for a game of 'pick up sticks ' I think. The AFL draws very close to 100,000...not sure if the seating has been reconfigured for cricket or if it wasnt a sell out

 

[MickeyD]

^it's either my hearing that's going or Beefy's on-air mistake!

 

[poffle]

Ireland require another 15 runs with 5 wickets and 36 balls remaining

aw aw, Ireland looking like they might be folding under the pressure, 3 quick wickets and they dunno what to do.

 

[AirWolf]

The Dr was spot on .

Ireland smashed the Windies.

 

[poffle]

Ahhhhh 2 fours in a row and it pretty much settled the game. WD Ireland! thats awesome
