    You'd have to be very disappointed though were we to lose to Holland now. A better performance is needed, but we should have too much for them. Would be nice to get out of the group with 3/3 wins.

    We have it in RR right now.

    But we have to have to much for the Netherlands.

    We're 1/6 to win the group, that'll do me, I'll wait in confidence for the Cricket world cup bandwagon that will be rolling by in a few days.

    I'm not counting any chickens. T20 is too unpredictable and driven by momentum.

    If we weren't going to go through then we would be in the other group or we would have lost to Zimbabwe.
    What's the point of life if we get the easier group, have beaten the odds on favourites and still don't go through?

    We're Irish. We don't do things the normal way and it makes us fatalists. Macedonia away has scarred me for life.

    You have to knock that outta ya.

    That's not the Joe Schmidt/Roy Keane/Phil Simmmons way!

    Ireland's Group B fixture/results

    17 March - beat Zimbabwe by three wickets
    19 March - beat United Arab Emirates by 21 runs (D/L method)
    21 March v Netherlands, Sylhet, 09:30 GMT


    When they talk about spin in cricket, is it defined by stating that Ireland beat Zimbabwe by a cosy 3 wickets, instead of the single run?

    I think that the established way of expressing the margin of victory doesn't always reflect the closeness of a game.

    If the team batting second wins, the winning margin is expressed in wickets. If the team batting first wins, the margin is expressed in runs.

    The Ireland- Emirates game being an exception, basically because the overs Ireland needed to reach a winning total would otherwise have been distorted. The net run-rate (akin to goal difference in football) and as part of that the number of overs remaining is actually more significant than the wickets in hand when play was abandoned.

    Zim won easily this morning so Ireland need to win, or tie I presume. Netherlands need to win easily though so maybe that'll open things up for us. Ireland bat first, 12-0 after 2.
