QuoteJesus what an ending!
Can't understand how O Brien bowled the 49th over rather than McBrine.
Jesus what an ending!
That was close, wow. Feel a bit for Zimbabwe, they kind of were very unlucky.
(edit: also had a stinker with the betting, won with SA getting the most 6's but had them to win when they were evens, cashed out early to limit the loss, also cashed out when had Ireland backed!!! Damn it, lucky to get out alive with 20 quid loss)

O'Brien nearly cost us the match with the 49th over bowling!
What a finish ..... my god! Cusack was cool - fair play to him! First time we won 3 matches in a world cup and still not made the q finals! Roll on to India ..... i hope it rains

What happens if we lose both our next games and WI win their last one? Level on points and then decided on NRR? I presume that wouldn't be good.
If that happens, Ireland would be out on NRR as you said.
Ireland will qualify if ONE of these were to happen:
Ireland win or draw v India.
West Indies fail to win v UAE.
Ireland win or draw v Pakistan.
Other circumstances:
If Ireland lose to India, Ireland must win/draw v Pakistan to qualify.
If West Indies beat UAE, Ireland must win/draw v Pakistan to qualify.
If Ireland lose to India and Pakistan, they will be out unless UAE wins or draws v West Indies.
Eoin Morgan out for a duck again.
England 126/4 after 28ovs chasing 276 against Bangladesh. Under major pressure now.
Great finsh to the England game. it's a holiday here, thanks women! So getting to enjoy it in Moscow.
England out!
So, India are better than us....who'da thunk it?

So its down to the last game against Pakistan ... it was always going to happen!
Managed to stay awake for about our first 60. We were batting very comfortably. I was supremely impressed with how we dealt with their bowlers.
Didn't expect us too win and in fairness we were up against a serious side and have managed to put the highest total on India at this World Cup. Nothing to be sniffed at.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Watching the highlights here at the minute. Really have to say, despite putting in the highest score against India in this WC, there really should have been at least 300 hit after such a strong start. Some very poor wickets taken, especially that of Thompson being run out, a poor lack of communication. There could have been a shot at a real proper shock if only for a better second half of the innings.

I'm hoping that we can breathe confidence after the performance though.
Those 5 quick wickets can happen sometimes and were not because of the gulf in class... just **** happens. I hope we are going into the Pakistan clash brimming with confidence.

I see Piers Morgan is having a go an Eoin Morgan for not signing GSTQ:

He should have a go at 50% of the English soccer team as well who don't bother either.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
why do i hear piers morgan being quoted all the time about anything and everything? who gives a hoot what he says. he's hardly some kind of oracle. baffling really
Disappointing day for Ireland, never at the races and strangely subdued.
Thompson, rubbish both at bowling and batting
Well they did ok at the world cup - but they will be booking flights tonight - they battling not good enough today - and the bowling is just not fast enough!
