ANy chance some of your guys will now play cricket? We have a nice club in Sandyford

Shoot, I should have gone over. And IF we had beaten Bangladesh, we would be on top of the group.
From your first breath your words uttered were 'will we fall short' when we are on the cusp of victory
3 runs left to get and you doubt Trent Johnson.
So forgive me if I didn't read the rest of that post
You are a chronic fatalist believing in ultimate doom and gloom, fortunately not enough to jinx this.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
We can get out of this group now. Beating the West Indies and Holland can be done.
I was slighltly behind you guys on cricket world cup and espn site. but i was probably writing something else and then updated with 3 runs, i did however ask would we fall short when it was around 312-7.
Because its easier no because its just the way things pan out, we looked dead on against bangladesh after 5 yet we came wholly unstuck with some very bad individual mistakes.
You had faith in Johnston but he was in and out quicker than a priest at a hoor house in the last game.
Anyway we beat england
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Didn't take that from what Strauss had said (though I wasn't listening for the whole thing). His comments are on cricinfo -
Kevin O'Brien, meanwhile, saidOriginally Posted by Andrew Strauss
Which seems to imply he said he chanced his arm, not Strauss.Originally Posted by Kevin O'Brien
Beat Holland and get a better nett RR than Bangladesh is now the task I think? Anything else is a bonus.

Surely there's a joke flying around already about - Johnson , Mooney and O'Brien.......
Work is a real pain in the a$$ on a day like today - what a result!
At half time Ithought we would be lucky to get 100 runs but don´t even dream to throw that quote back at me
The point, in case you missed it, is that you are chronically tuned into failure and pessimism in general.
When anybody in their right mind is thinking we can win this, stand tall, we are going to do the most incredible comeback in WC history and against England, you are looking at where can we fail.
Then when Trent comes in , you think of a situation where he failed, not the the other situations where he stood tall under extreme pressure eg. when he hit the boundary against Pakistan.
OK?
Great win, will Christy Moore have a song about this one?!

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
I asked the question, in a rhetorical sorta way, can we do this do?! like obama to his supporters on the election trail? Can we do this?! Yes we can.
Ill admit i wasn't sure if we could. I'm a realist through experience of getting my hopes up too often, the other was timing as much as anything else, i was a few runs behind ye a good few and the 3 came out as i had originally written something else.
The point was understood geysir, don't worry those high doses of serotonin and rushes of excitement might have got the better of ye. But in general you are probably right!
It might be nice if that happened the odd time the other way around

i heard on radio that someone had €25 on ireland to win at 400/1 with PP when england finished scoring.
lucky fcuker but fortune favours the brave
Long Live King Kenny
An actuary mate of mine said some in betting exchanges were offering near to 2000/1.....
ya fortune in this case, but how many has that person put on at times like that and told no one - and for obvious reasons :d

Well done to all the lads. Especially Kevin O'Brien!
And to all the optimists on here also....
Amazed & delighted.
That's the strength of a United team.
Take note other sports....
