Game over, Kenya win by 6 wickets.
Ireland 208-9 after 50 overs.
Kenya 209-4 after 48 overs.
I think it's time to let John Mooney go, to be honest. He's been a great servant to Irish cricket, but seems to be in the squad for purely sentimental reasons these days. Went for more than seven an over today.
Ireland, Canada, Kenya and the Netherlands qualify for the World Cup (which won't feature games in Pakistan, it's just been announced.) Scotland just squeaked into the ODI slots. Afghanistan have also earned ODI status. Ireland face Canada in the tournament final.
Have to agree with you there, some great young talent pushing through and their expierence is vital. I don't think the WC will be hosted in the Sub-Continent, too many previous issues in India and Pakistan is a no go area. I think South Africa are in for another windfall, or AustraliaQuote:

Great stuff, thanks for all the updates during this tournament.
Any ideas when the Twenty20 squad will be announced?
probably 5 minutes after the england final 15 is :p
How close do you reckon Morgan is to getting into the England squad?
I can not see be added to the squad, they have some good ODI players as it is, it would be a surprise for me if he was added to the panel.
Ireland lose the first 5050 group game in Belfast, to Worcester.

Forgot to congratulate BobTheDrog on beating us in a closely contested Junior C match. Rush IV 22 ao and Sandyford IV 17 ao :D:D Lowest score ever by any SCC team.
At least we dismissed Bob for his 4th consecutive duck against us :p
Some fellas would do anything to get to the pub early :DQuote:

Jeremy Bray has been named in the squad for the upcoming Friends Provident fixtures with Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.
* Kyle McCallan (Captain) (Waringstown)
* Jeremy Bray (The Hills)
* Peter Connell (North Down)
* Phil Eaglestone (Strabane)
* James Hall (Waringstown)
* John Mooney ( North County )
* Kevin O’Brien (Railway Union )
* Andrew Poynter (Clontarf)
* Paul Stirling (Carrickfergus)
* Reinhardt Strydom (YMCA)
* Regan West (Civil Service North)
* Andrew White (Instonians)
* Gary Wilson ( Surrey )
Been a while since we saw his name on the team list. :D
He got in the squad, some disappointment for the Ireland selectors:
Paul Collingwood (capt), James Anderson, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Andrew Flintoff, James Foster, Robert Key, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Eoin Morgan, Graham Napier, Kevin Pietersen, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Luke Wright
In any event, its not good enough to win the tournament.
quick question and apologies if this has been asked and answered already, but can Eoin Morgan (or even Ed Joyce) represent Ireland again if he plays for England?
I think a player that plays with a Full Member, can not play for another nation, yet the rule does not apply to non-members.
He could play for Ireland again if he went four years without appearing for England. Ed Joyce would be eligible to represent Ireland again in 2011 if he isn't picked for England again in the interim.
Great win for Ireland today!

At least we won a game anyway!!
Wwsa watching updates on SKY Sports News. Saw we were 152 all out, then W were 26-6. Must have been some bowling performance.
They have had 2 really good performances before that game despite losing them. They look in good shape for the Twenty20 World Cup, they have a decent chance to beat Bangladesh, but they have to perform against them.
I was there with foot.ie regular Ardee Bhoy. Excellent and totally unexpected win by Ireland.
Ireland made 152-5 in today's World Twenty20 warm-up against New Zealand. Bray (48) and Stirling (29) got Ireland off to a good start with 70 inside the first nine overs. New Zealand should chase that total easily enough, especially given Ireland's weakened bowling attack.
a little something to (possibly) amuse everyone

The Poor Pigeon :(
ICC World Twenty20 Group B
England 162-5 (20 overs) v Netherlands 163-6 (20 overs)
Amazing last ball. Netherlands needed 2 to win & England missing a throw at the wicket & the durch scrambled a double!
:eek::eek::eek:
Great result for the Associates. England looking at elimination now! I doubt Ireland are going to achieve much, after a series of defeats (one to the PCA Masters golden oldies XI) in warm-ups. Just not accustomed to the format.
Mind you, the weather isn't looking too promising either.
Only half saw the last 6-7 overs tonight but when it started to rain they continued. I guess if it was earlier in the game they would have stopped it? At that stage after losing only 3 wickets the dutch were flying along. Their scoring dropped when they lose a couple of wickets leading to the tight finish.Quote:

Last ball at 6.45 on that clip.
don't know much about cricket but i do know thats a big upset. fair play to them
I was cheering them on :D
I want associate members to do well, those teams can make cricket more of a world wide sport for audiences, showing them that there is decent cricket in other countries than the Test Nations.
Great win, they totally deserved it, I think the England players thought it would be an easy win, just post a total of about 150 and they wont get that total.
