No, just the way they were saying that it was now likely to be going to the finish sounded (to me, who doesn't know the technicalities) like they were going to have time to play the whole 50.

They're still chasing 128 off 47. That's not going to change unless there's another interruption.

I don't think Ireland are going to do it...

How are group positions settled if teams are level on points?

**Sheridan** · 17/03/2007, 9:44 PM

Net run rate. It's complicated, explain later.

It's unusually low given the number of overs faced. Teams have been bowled out for 30 etc.

Why not? You think we'll be bowled out or just won't make it?

You'll get good odds on Pakistan winning then. Be positive!!

**cavan_fan** · 17/03/2007, 9:46 PM

A 4, yessss

**lofty9** · 17/03/2007, 9:48 PM

a few more wides will do!!

**pineapple stu** · 17/03/2007, 9:49 PM

So 7 to get off 8 overs.

Another boundary would be massive...

The batters seem to be not doing anything daring at all. Like, at all at all at all... They must be sh!tting it...

**cavan_fan** · 17/03/2007, 9:49 PM

5 more, not a lot but a wicket would be a disaster

**tricky_colour** · 17/03/2007, 9:49 PM

5 runs needed with 3 wickets left and loads of overs,
Looks a certainty..........

**Terry** · 17/03/2007, 9:50 PM

123/7 5 more runs. I think they have it sheridan

**Sheridan** · 17/03/2007, 9:50 PM

If we lose a wicket we'll lose the game. Otherwise we'll be fine.

**cavan_fan** · 17/03/2007, 9:51 PM

the thing about cricket is if you lose a wicket there is often a domino effect esp with the last few wickets, I'm feeling 50/50

**Schumi** · 17/03/2007, 9:51 PM

4 needed now!

**Sheridan** · 17/03/2007, 9:52 PM

4 needed. Please don't try to finish with a flourish...

**geysir** · 17/03/2007, 9:52 PM

Genoa was apiece of cake compared to this.

**Poor Student** · 17/03/2007, 9:53 PM

Just 3 needed now.

Dave O'Leary approaches the crease...His daughter heads out the back garden to where the missus is hanging out the washing..."Mammy, Daddy's taking a cricket shot" "Look, ya got me last time, but you're talking sh!te this time for sure..."
