Title: Re: World cup cricket Post by: matt674 on March 15, 2007, 11:12:22 PM That was superb, inches away from a win too in that last over mate. yup, with 3 overs to go and them needing just 10 runs with 3 wickets i thought they didnt have a prayer but then got 2 wickets in 2 overs only conceeding 1 run. All we needed to do was keep the number 11 on strike for a few deliveries :( Title: Re: World cup cricket Post by: Bongo on March 16, 2007, 02:00:58 AM Watched the end of this, superb game of cricket!

Title: Re: World cup cricket Post by: ontilt on March 16, 2007, 09:58:25 AM Very exciting but had traded the game all green on betfair and then all bets void for the draw!
Must have lost betfair a lot of money in commision as over £7M was matched on the game. Nevermind got another 50 days worth of games to make it all back, fantastic, I love cricket, I also think its the best gambling sport :) Title: Re: World cup cricket Post by: ontilt on March 16, 2007, 10:11:33 AM What does anyone think for the England v NZ game today? I think they are pretty even so a little bit of value in England curerntly (they better be playing both spinners though!) I don't feel too strongly though so I think I will wait to take up a position mid game.
Title: Re: World cup cricket Post by: Steelio on March 16, 2007, 10:30:00 AM Going to be close today, there is value but for which team, hopefully England
Title: Re: World cup cricket Post by: Steelio on March 17, 2007, 05:32:34 PM Ireland could be on for another shocker, Pakistan are 124-8

"Wrong bloddy oval ya wee bastard." This post has made me laugh like a silly thing. I've just spent St Patrick's night in an Irish pub, full to the brim of people watching cricket on the TV. Can't get more Irish than that. Title: Re: World cup cricket Post by: CrestOfaWave on March 19, 2007, 01:12:48 AM Well done Ireland... Had some Kiwi friends over with Irish lineage and thoroughly enjoyed one of the big boys of World Cricket getting a good thumping.
This is definitely the largest upset in World Cup cricket...

Ok, so not quite in the same league as the victory against Pakistan but still for an assosiate member of the ICC to now get a win the Super 8 is unbelievable! And also as this is our second victory in the tournament to go with the draw against Zimbabwe it means that Ireland now officially earn a place on the ODI rankings leaderboard - meaning we are now an official One Day International team and can play in triangular tournaments etc etc. Some excellent captaincy and excellent batting and bowling performances giving us a deserved win in the super 8's COME ON IRELAND!!
