Greatest comeback ever, fastest century and we whipped England.

Wow.

The highest successful run chase ever in ODI cricket. The highest score in this World Cup. And having just lost to Bangladesh? Stunning result; well done!

Ah-mazing. Just brilliant. I might have to go to the pub.

Big middle finger to the ICC from Ireland and all the associate teams left out of the next World Cup.

**geysir** · 02/03/2011, 4:03 PM

I love these serotonin hits.

**Noelys Guitar** · 02/03/2011, 4:05 PM

Maggie Thatcher, Allan Knott, john snow, Ian Botham, Brian Close, Smarmy Strauss your boys took one hell of a beating. Wooooohooooooooooooooo

Mooney never flinched when the pressure went to fever pitch and Trent was just unbreakable.

Strauss "Kevin O'Brien came in and chanced his arm"

O'Brien came in and kicked your ass

**tricky_colour** · 02/03/2011, 4:10 PM

Brilliant, I just heard it on the radio and caught the last 2 overs on a stream!!!

What did I say? Or not say as generally seems to be the case.

**paul_oshea** · 02/03/2011, 4:18 PM

Geysir where did he say that all i got was "Andrew Strauss: "Things were looking pretty comfortable but we weren't reckoning on an outstanding innings from Kevin O'Brien - it was pretty brutal and set us back." and same from espn

**osarusan** · 02/03/2011, 4:19 PM

Got my prediction earlier horribly wrong, I'm delighted to say.

Watched the last hour in the bookies, incredible stuff, the crowd of people in front of the tv kept growing. Amazing win, amazing performance.

He said it on Sky and then Atherton repeated it when interviewing Kevin O'Brien ie you chanced your arm. To his credit O'Brien just went along with it.
