Definetely nerves in the field. What a brilliant bit of Irish sport. Best chance will be against Pakistan (albeit slim)who are missing 3 players. Wish I was out there. Instead we will have to put up with Stans rants!

Exactly! Thats why it was such good craic today. No Delaney. No Stan. Less corporate bull**** than you will witness at Croker for the next 2 games. And how many postman are in the 22?Quote:

Ah p1ss off, you philistine.
I was trading on it on betfair and was in decent sized profit no matter who won. *******ds :DQuote:

Close to €11m on the game on betfair I noticed - all wiped due to one ball. :eek:Quote:

Yes, great game. Irish fielding hopeless but from the game looking dead and buried, they came back to tie the game. Some of the female fans were in tears from the emotions. With 9 needed from the last over we should have won the game. Part-time bowler bowls the last over :confused: Surprised at that.
Aidan Cooney on TV3 called the Irish centurian McBrady rather than McBray. :mad:
Looking forward to Saturday (after the rugger and the soccer results - lots of channel surfing on the cards).
Its neither, his name is Jeremy BrayQuote:

There was enough good in the Irish performance to suggest that they could give Pakistan and the Windies a game...Some gutsy batting from Bray and the middle order, Generally good line and length from the bowlers, generally good fielding.
There was also enough bad in the Irish performance to suggest they could get hockeyed....Top order collapse, poor fielding in pressure situations, lack of any real threat in the bowling.
Not really a cricket fan but it was nice to see that the smaller cricketing nations made the headlines for something positive...
I have noticed that there is alot of sledging from the Aussies about how the little teams shoudlnt be there and that pile of carp!!
At the end of the day it is good for the sport and liek any sport the more publicity it gets around the home nation and the world the better the sport will grow!!

Feck it - it's only opposite Bangladesh v India. Sky should really make it their main game after yesterday's performance.
