Fair enough thanks for the clarification.

Slight change:
April 15 v India/Bangladesh
April 18 v Sri Lanka/Bangladesh
If India qualify, they'll take the B2 place and play us on the 15th, if Sri Lanka qualify, they'll take the B1 place and play us on the 18th. If Bangladesh qualify, they'll take the place of whichever of the other two doesn't.
I thought that was the case, but I wasn't totally sure, so I covered my ass:D

Davidson's innings sounds great - wish I was watching it. What happens if there's rain with no wickets down for Canada - gotta mean Canada are ahead:confused:

In the unlikely event that we beat the West Indies would that change our super 8 schedule? Presumably that would mean we top our group.
It might just happen, super confident Ireland versus a relaxed Windies, ya never know. Who'd have though we'd get this far (or the the cricket world cup thread would have nearly 450 posts)!
I think Trent Johnson and Boyd Rankin will be rested
tomorrow. We need both of them at full fitness for the Super 8s. It'll give a few of the fringe players a chance. It would be nice to win and maybe the Windies might be to relaxed. The group winners take 2 point into the Super 8's

Not sure, this is in effect our first Super 8 game, the aim should be to win 1 game and I would be suggesting one of England, New Zealand, India/Bangladesh or Windies (possibly). Would write off Aussies, SA and Sri Lanka.

Ireland's Super 8 schedule looks as follows so far:
March 30 v England, Guyana
We're not playing the Brits yet, as England still have to qualify, and Kenya have a chance to beat them.

Sad to hear that Bob Woolmer was murdered

Woolmer death treated as murder
Police in Jamaica have launched a murder investigation into the death of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer.
Following the results of a post mortem examination, police said Mr Woolmer had died of asphyxia as a result of manual strangulation.
The chief police commissioner appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
Woolmer, 58, was found in his hotel room on Sunday, the day after his team lost to Ireland in the World Cup.

That's sensational news.
The Pakistan media manager nonchalantly threw a small firework into the mix by saying that Woolmer was worried about proofs of his book that went missing. Something about that they were the only proofs of the book.
Sky sports are coming out with 5 theories every 2 minutes, they'll have it solved by morning.

India v Sri Lanka is the main game on sky sports. Damn you NTL for not having interactive tv, as the Ireland game is available for sky subscribers.
Windies will not be looking forward to playing us they are a shadow of their former selves and will be lucky to make it out of the super 8 group.

Funny, i thought this morning they advertised Ireland v the Windies as the game being covered live on SS1!?? W**kers!!
As for the super 8's i fully expect the windies not to make the semi finals, can see the last four being Australia, SA (bankers) and the remaining two places being Sri lanka/India (depending on who gets through today) & New Zealand.
Should be a great round of fixtures now as i'd expect the top sides to step up a gear!

You would think that it wouldn't be stretching technology too far to make the Ireland game available on NTL.

"Brits.":rolleyes: We ARE the Brits, at least partially.Sheridan, a bit of geography advice.
Its the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
So Nordies included. we never were, are or will be "Brits".
Thank God.
I'd say the majority of the Northerners have British passports and consider themselves British
Either way no more political discussion on the thread please lads...

Would they not be more properly described as United Kingdom passports?
Anyhow, here's hoping that Ireland can put up a good performance without Johnston.

I would suspect Ireland don't have the strength in depth to have the luxury of resting players. Cricket not exactly the most taxing physically so can't see how the guys could be tired...

You're obviously new to the game pete if you think its not taxing for bowlers
Anyway, its not that they are tired, its that they have slight injuries and another couple of days rest could help them get back to full fitness for the other games.

No one mentioned injuries. Its only 10 overs per game anyway & neither player bowled full complement last weekend. :o
Latest: Johnston is out injured & Rankin passed fit.
This is effectively the Super 8 at this stage so resting player for this game seems no different than first 'official' Super 8 game?

Rest?? They've just had 6 days of rest. :rolleyes: How many more do they want? This is the World Cup. Plenty of time for rest when it's over.
If they want rest after 2 matches, god knows how they would cope with playing 5-day Test match slogs??? :eek: :rolleyes:

Sorry. Thought people new Johnston was injured. It's in his shoulder so he could easily do more damage . Better to have him for 6 out of seven games than none. The physio said the other day that a week should sort it out. Thank God for the red button on sky digital one of the many reasons for dumping NTL ;)

Good stuff.
Decent start by Ireland
60/1 after 14 overs. Porterfield out for a duck. Again

70/2 off 19 overs. rate has really slowed down now - need to be picked up again to have any sort of defensible total.
Niall O'Brien caught behind 76/3

Oh God, really struggling now, 82-4

only good thing is that Powell and Bradshaw have each bowled 9 overs. Powell had Bray in particular in all sorts of trouble earlier on.

97-4 off 26 overs.
Not exactly capitulation but as usual, we need one player to make a big score to shore up the rest. Ireland aren't unusual in that respect and 97-4 at halfway could easily translate into a score of 230/250 which would be very respectable. Needs Botha and O'Brien to stay in through 35 overs I think though.
Anybody know why Ireland chose to bat first? are they expecting the pitch to start moving a bit later on or is there an expectation of a bit of rain that might get the ball zipping off the surface?

When we bowled first against Pakistan and put them out we huffed and puffed to get to a very low total.
Can't afford to lose another wicket soon if we want to get above 200, which has got to be the target in all our Super 8 games.
EDIT: As I type we lose another one.

Botha gone now - going to be a struggle to make 200

161/6 after 46 overs. Rain stopped play
Should be handy enough for the W Indies
