To think we all laughed at the toothless leprechaun hatted builders's labourer in the sky ad with the prophetic tag line
"Don't forget the Irish!"
How right he was.

That last Zimbabwean bowler must have been **** hot.
Zimbabwe Innings
1 for 1 (1.5 overs)
If Zimbabwe can beat Pakistan total they deserve to progress.
Not looking the best!Quote:

Yes. we about to be super eights.
Apparantly 3 of the super 8 games will be played in Guyana
Just when we think we're through and the heavens open and they're off.
Zimbabwe are 30/3 off 10.2 overs
If they don't come back today then they'll resume tomorrow as they are now.
Rain has now stopped but no sign of life
If it rains for 26 hours then they get a point each.
Keep Raining !!!
I thought that was bad news for a moment but if continues to rain and Zimbabwe get a point they give them a total of 2 points and Ireland already have 3 so they will be through to the last 8 :DQuote:

Uncork the guinness :D
Match may be continued tomorrow. No chance of anything other than a Pakistan victory
Ireland are through lads
Are you absolutely 100% sure Dodge that theres nothing else that could scupper our progress?Quote:

I'd say Ireland are about 97% through, but we would want to go into the Super 8's with 5 points rather than 0 for second place.
The only thing which could put a spanner in the works at this stage would be any further overnight developments in the Woolmer case which might cause Pakistan to forfeit the game.
NEWSFLASH. Jamaican police upgrade Bob Woolmer death to murder case with strangulation as the cause.
They're coming back out.
They're going to resume in a few minutes. kevin Curran the Zimbabwean coach doesn't look happy. Appears very gloomy which will help the bowlers. Zimbabwe need another 163 of 58 balls to win. ImpossibleQuote:

Pity the attendances have been so poor mainly due to the inflated prices for accommodation. Pakistan had some of the most colourful supporters in the last two world cups particularly in England in '99. They even pay some of them at the matches to promote the country. Australia to win.
45 for 5.Zimbabwe just threw 2 wickets away in successive balls.Quote:

Ahem !
Chigumbura just hit 3 sixes in successive balls and then out, now 77 for 6
spots of rain again.
Great Effort by Chigumbura.
Zimbabwe require another 116 runs with 4 wickets and 27 balls remaining
thats 4.3 runs a ball required, not imposible but close to it.
When it gets to over 6 runs a ball I think they should throw in the towel.
D/L Method ?
Can't believe they're persevering with Kaneira, just gone for another two 6's.
Gone for 48 off 4 overs but just got Sean Williams.
93/7 now.
Edit : make that 94/8
RRR 33.33
Lol
Need 99 from 16 = 6.18 a ball - game over Ireland through.
What about NB and Wides
What about it?Quote:

Fitting that the last wicket caught by Inzamam
Pakistan win and we're through
Inzamam-ul-Haq = Legend
Mohammed Yousuf's second ball, quite possibly the worst ball of the innings :D :D
Maybe his beard got in the way :D
