    Ask anyone what they think an ODI is and they'll say it's a 50 over game. 20/20 is a specific format known as just that. Yes, if you want to be pedantic, they are both played in one day.

    Did anyone hear our old friend Sinead O'Freedy try to talk her way out of it after the game?

    I actually have. Sorry.

    Didn't Hansie Conje captain us about 10 years ago?

    There are 5 types of cricket: 20/20 which is 20 overs a side, 40 over games (usually between club sides and what I play), 50 overs (international usually but also club sides) and is often called the one day game, 3 day matches (usually country sides in England but sometimes international teams vs county sides as a warm up and the test matches (international games) which are 5 days.

    Vital game against WI coming up. Have to win to qualify as we are not going to get anything against South Africa. Debating whether to get up at 4.00 am to watch the start.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Both the next two games present the same challenge. They're good sides but can be great or crap depending which one of them turn up on the day. We were competitive against both in the last WC.

    The Windies game should be much closer than SA, who're nearly a complete package.

    And real international cricket is Tests, 50 overs(The longest established championship) & 20-20 which is a relative novelty by comparison.

    The chase is on against the WI total. They say that 270 is just about an impossible target to achieve on this pitch.
    So far the Porterfield/Joyce partnership has not begun to wobble just yet.

    More of a crawl than a chase by Ireland. The run rate clock isn't ticking just yet.

    A couple of lovely shots by Joyce. And now O'Brien as well. This is more like it.

    14 runs ahead of WI after 17 overs; very encouraging.

    Ahead of the West Indies score after 25 overs but they had some huge ones in the second half that will be hard to match. Might need Kevin O'Brien to produce some more magic.

    my link went down so I switched to this one. http://crictime.com/server8.htm The run rate is going to be no problem. We just need to keep wickets in hand.
