That reminds me of that scene in the life of brian;

Ok, apart from rugby, cricket (usually!) football, tennis, hockey, athletics, swimming and motor sport - name one sport the English are better than us at! :lol:

have to admit i support england in the cricket. been to many a test match and even went to 2 world cups, but how could i not want my own country to win that today, brilliant. should have been 2 outa 2, as we messed it up v bangladesh. as for englad, i still want then to win it, but my god they must improve big time, in the bowling, and in the field.

Its an awful pity we wouldnt decide that cricket, tennis, golf and "soccer" were our "first" games ... Ingerlund wouldnt get a look in !!

We've only been playing cricket here for about a fortnight !!!

PS- Why the f*ck didnt i put the €2.88 on it ........... :banghead: :banghead:

What a win! :barscarf:

Wonder if I can find some nice odds on the Irish to make it out of the group or something... :?

I must sadly admit...I went to bed once Niall O'Brian was out for Ireland and the required run rate was over 7. Wish I'd stayed up a few more hours!

Congratulations to Ireland. Great innings by Kevin O'Brien

Would be good to see cricket develop in Ireland - Unfortunately, it's all likely to be in the one-day short form of the game, in which it is much easier to get people up to speed.

Congrats to the Micks for beating us. I just hope we don't play as poorly for the rest of the group games.
Every now and then a small team beats a big one. I'm sure that's happened elsewhere recently but for some reason I seem to have blocked it out :lol: :lol:
