    UAE looking like taking an absolute hammering from India here. 8 wickets down after 22 and only dropped a great chance for another a couple of balls earlier. A walk in the park for an India side that are bowling fantastically well.

    Make that 9 from 24. Combining an exhibition in bowling with a horrible innings with the bat from UAE.

    Anyway I might actually lump on SL
    Its not an anti England thing at all, just find it funny how rubbish they are at cricket all things considering.
    Have backed the Aussies from the start, but they display the usual arrogance one can associate with teams from down under. Might see if I can cash in when they get to the final, as I see India as the team to beat so far!

    South Africa 66-1 after 12 overs. Great bowling from John Mooney who took the wicket. Poor from Sorensen and Kevin O'Brien.

    Very quiet on the bandwaggon today. I would love to watch the full match, but definitely have to go to work today, as in the office. Saffies really sticking it to us. Need a wicket in a hurry!

    Ireland need 412. Spinners did reasonably well but too easy to hit O'Brien and Sorensen.

    Ireland are very poor with the bowling and now the batting - going to get a hammering i think 26-3 in reply to 412!

    This beating today will cost Ireland in the long run ..... the run rate will destroy them ..... its a great pitch to bat and they just throwing away their wickets!

    Lifted things slightly somewhat, but still nowhere near the races. Need a big next 10-15 overs to get the run rate up. Never reaching the 400, but even getting up anywhere around 300 would be a nice enough return against a very good SA side.

    150-6 after 30 overs ..... If they get to 250, they will do well!

    They would have been better off being all out for 80 after 10 overs, than this.

    This is pointless - why aren't they swinging at everything ?

    Not so bad when you consider what it was like earlier on.
    Never really got into our stride and the 2 dropped catches cost us dearly.

    Not only that they ended up as 2 centuries but probably killed our confidence.

    Oh well...would have hoped for a more aggressive tactic as pointed out, but still, 210 against South Africa isn't bad all considering.
