Is this game being broadcast in Ireland?

 

[Twatface Magee]

Ireland would f**king slaughter the Poms.

 

[chigurh]

My goodness this West Indian fielding is absolute sh*t

 

[franklin2323]

4.8 runs per over with 8 wickets in hand.

It's Ireland's game to lose. This is great for the tournament (and to a lesser extent Zimbabwe's performance)

Looking at the fixtures coming in it did look like it was pretty obvious who "should" go through to the quarters from each group. Things have gotten interesting now.

WI were always a chance of missing the QTRs the squad they selected is average (Pollard and Bravo should be there). Surely this will get Ireland test status?

This is a deadest smashing. Such a gutless rabble, the Windies.

I doubt it sadly. There's no benefit to India, and I can't see England being too keen on reducing their player pool either.

 

[Hutty1986]

15 to win, now 5 wickets left.

Come on Ireland, finish them off.

 

[Timbo]

Surely Ireland can't duff this.

 

[chigurh]

Haha what lazy fielding from Gayle. At least he looked cool doing it

 

[TheParraboy]

3 runs to go

 

[Timbo]

Awesome stuff. Ireland are quarter final bound.

 

[abpanther]

Great win!

 

[TheParraboy]

Ireland win by 4 wickets

 

[Hutty1986]

Brilliant win for Ireland.

Windies may not get through the group stages here.

 

[TheParraboy]

WI play Pakistan next

Talk about a hard game to pick, lol

 

[abpanther]

It really is sad to see how far they've fallen

 

[Eddie Rattlehead]

Great win for the Irish

 

[chigurh]

The grandstand stream today was great. No idea who the commentators were (the Irish dude was great) but they did a much better job than Maxwell, Boycott etc did over the weekend.

If you had a dog and it was as miserable as Boycott you would put it down, and it'd be the right thing to do!

 

[Timbo]

I am getting annoyed with every media outlet referring to by this as a 'huge upset'.

The West Indies have been on a steady slide for years and Ireland have been going from strength to strength for years.
