As for Ireland's win, some bloke on the radio said it was the equivalent of England beating Ireland in Hurling ... sweet, sweet, sweet. (Hope they don't take up hurling).;)

I would say its more like the Faroe Islands beating England in football or Italy beating The All Blacks in rugby (all in competitive matches)
 
It's a real shame that Canada didn't beat Pakistan yesterday. We could do with the other associates showing the ICC that they belong at the tournament. Ireland would appear to be the best of the Associate nations (based on last 2 WCs) but are probably going to be denied a place at the next WC.
 
Got up nice and early this morning thinking the Ireland and India match would on... No, its England and SA :( But its fantastic bowling from England after a poor batting innings.

Ireland, after losing two very early wickets again today are pushing on nicely, 121 for 2 after 26 overs.

edit: 122 for 3. The commentators curse strikes again :) Niall O'Brien goes for a respectable 46.
 
I'm afraid to say it, but could we really beat India??? Paddy Power has us at 9/2 and India have lost their big hitters and are struggling against our world class bowlers :)
 
The Boys in Green putting it up to the Windies today. 99 needed off 77 balls with 7 wickets in hand.
