That would be an ecumenical matter.

Didn't see it, sounds like an amazing innings, but still awful of England to lose from that position.

Ireland showed how to finish a game off from a winning position, which England failed miserably to do on Sunday.

If only I understood cricket, I could do some showing off here. But I don't, so I won't, much.

We won by three wickeds, or wiggles or something, so there. Our outings are better than your inings and we don't even play the game. So England must be really, really shit at it.

Just heard it said on the radio news that after 25 overs you could have got on Ireland at 500/1, whilst England were 250/1on.

Having watched the entire match it was the same scenario as the India game. Superb batting performance from England again but shambolic in the field, dropping numerous catches and misfields aplenty. They look very tired to me, the bowlers especially.

There was a lad on the radio yesterday that had €25 on at 1000/1 before the start of the tournament

More like jas123, no way you could have got 1000/1 on a single match

It was somebody from Paddy Power's that was being interviewed about it and the amount of money they'd lost on bets before and during the match.

 

[MKFox]

phew!

 

[Joe_Fox]

Great game that. No boring games for England so far!

Surely the most enjoyment is gleaned from watching Akmal's keeping?

Does he flap at high balls? How's his distribution?

 

[fosseboy83]

looks like we're scrapping another win from the jaws of defeat

I slightly prefer that to the other way around.

Oh! Hang on?

Did you say cricket?



Don't really care either way!

 

[fosseboy83]

i spoke too soon

 

[fcukcov]

So thats us out then!

 

[bocadillo]

243 all out. You could be right.

 

[Jeff]

West Indies 118-5. They're scoring at well above the required rate so England will need to bowl them out.

Maybe not just yet.....
