West Indies win by 70 runs. Ouch, that's a hammering.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka was a cracking game though!

[Milfner 1,604]

New Zealand seem to pretty well in one-day competitions. I wouldn't be at all suprised if they make it to the semis or even the final.

Extras were the top scorer for Ireland with 19!

Has he got an English granny?

[memoryof82 10]

Ed Joyce?

He is meant to be coming back for the next World Cup with Hamish Marshall, it could add some needed batting in our top order,

pity Morgan isn't still here ,

we do have Dockrell though ...

But will George "Shane" Dockrell be Ingerlish by his 22nd birthday?

Five wickets in the over, zilch runs

[Gringo 3]

Eng 191-5 off 20 overs

WI 30-0 off 2.2 overs

Rain stops play.

[snowychap 10,744]

Rain halts England.

[snowychap 10,744]

I see some middle order chap got a very quick fifty for England again. :winkold:

[Gringo 3]

WI need 21 off next 20 balls to win.

[Gringo 3]

Or maybe 29....misinformed.

[Gringo 3]

Ireland want rain, and a wash out.

[Qwpzxjor1 518]

If tomorrows a wash out it'll be such a pile of shite.

No way would West Indies have got 193. Once Gayle goes they crumble.. but then they get given 29 runs from 20 balls. Gayle goes cheaply and Pollard gets a duck.. but still given an incredibly easy innings.

If England go out of this tournament (which is possible with the forecast tomorrow) after getting 192 then it's a joke.

No...misunderstanding - ireland would prefer a washout today as opposed to an England victory - a windies win on d/l gives the paddies a final chance.

[Qwpzxjor1 518]

It's forecast to just tip it down tomorrow. Which means England vs Ireland would be a draw. What would that mean for England and Ireland? Wouldn't Ireland have the better average?

[Gringo 3]

A minus 3.5 runs per over is not in Ireland's favour.

[Qwpzxjor1 518]

Never sure what D/L does to run average...

We gotta beat Ireland then, simply.

Watch us bugger that up after such a good batting display today.

No - a washout tomorrow, Ingerland will qualify.

Bu dockrell's going to spin you to pieces.

Pray For Rain England - it's your only hope.

[LancsVillan 325]

Total farce. That was far too low a total to give them, the DL needs looking at.

[Qwpzxjor1 518]

If England bat anything like today they'll win it easily. But they won't.

West Indies would not have got anything near 192 today. It shows how much they lack depth when our tactic at the end was just to keep Andre Fletcher on strike and keep Chanderpaul off strike. Fletcher is their number 4 batsman!
