No, just the way they were saying that it was now likely to be going to the finish sounded (to me, who doesn't know the technicalities) like they were going to have time to play the whole 50.

They're still chasing 128 off 47. That's not going to change unless there's another interruption.
I don't think Ireland are going to do it...:(
How are group positions settled if teams are level on points?
Net run rate. It's complicated, explain later.
It's unusually low given the number of overs faced. Teams have been bowled out for 30 etc.Quote:

5 more, not a lot but a wicket would be a disaster
5 runs needed with 3 wickets left and loads of overs,
Looks a certainty..........
123/7 5 more runs. I think they have it sheridan
If we lose a wicket we'll lose the game. Otherwise we'll be fine.
the thing about cricket is if you lose a wicket there is often a domino effect esp with the last few wickets, I'm feeling 50/50
4 needed now!
4 needed. Please don't try to finish with a flourish...
Genoa was apiece of cake compared to this.
Just 3 needed now.
Dave O'Leary approaches the crease...His daughter heads out the back garden to where the missus is hanging out the washing..."Mammy, Daddy's taking a cricket shot" "Look, ya got me last time, but you're talking sh!te this time for sure..."
I hate watching spinners bowling
2 needed
2 more runs needed
1 run needed!!
OŽbrien cant wait any longer he is going for it
It's won I think Johnson hit a 6 into the Irish crowd!!
Unbelievable, this ranks with the all time Irish sporting achievements
The greatest.Quote:

What did I say about not finishing with a flourish. :D
Got the 133 in the end...
Unbelievable. Have a nice flight home lads!!!!!
Fantastic, a 6 to finish.
What are they (sky folk) talking about unbelievability for,
We always believed :)
there saying that it goes down as the biggest upset in cricket history, well done to all involved.
Pakistan! Who are ye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So If Zimbabwe beat the dispirited brokenhearted Pakistanis and we have a moral victory against the WI do we still go through?
Sound man Trent
What a day, I am feeling very good today after the tension from the Zimbabwe match. Brilliant
Depends how much we lose by and they win by I suppose. Run rate might come into it as well.
Brilliant win for Ireland. Was listening to last 10 overs on 5 live extra. Tension was unbelievable. Poor Jon Kenny was doing the commentary and had to leave to do a Radio 1 report just as they were about to score the winning runs. Doesn't matter what happens from here on in. The team should be get a proper reception on their return home. It's not as if we're going to win the thing, but as with Italia 90, we're putting it up to the so-called big boys, announcing our presence on the world stage and our supporters are creating a party atmosphere and causing no trouble.
Looking forward to seeing the BBC highlights (1135). After the last game with Zimbabwe, their expert on all things cricket Jonathan Agnew was asked should the ICC be contemplating giving Ireland Test status. He scoffed and rubbished the suggestion, obviously thinking we'd be put on our place against the Pakistanis. Should be interesting.
Fair play also to Bangladesh for comprehensively beating India the day after finding out a team mate who missed out on the finals squad was killed in a motorbike accident.
Is now a good time?;)Quote:
