Ireland needs 63 off 12...it will be very hard but they are def in the hunt

 

[Pup Clarke]

BBC website shows Scotland at 95/6.

LOL...its funny how suddenly the only team besides Aus who is in the top 4 of both versions became comparable to minnows.

How suddenly is your question? Here it is!

Shoib Out!
Asif Out!
Razzaq Out!
Afridi Missing!
And Inzi not in good shape!

Remember that they are in No.4 with them in shape and missing them on a given day, Ireland can beat them.

Yeah a couple of sites are showing the Scots at 95/6 - Been a bit of a mess really with all the scores today, no idea who to belive

i really want tem to do it!!!! C'mon Ireland!

But, on a serious note...i really dont want them in the super 8's...i'd rather have the top 8 to be there for the ultimate league, so to speak!

actually they won the last series without Akhtar,ASif,and yousaf against WI..before that we won against India in india, Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka, Eng in Pak and WI in WI...all without Asif and Akhtar (besides the eng in apk where asif made his odi debut in the 3rd match)

NZ will be pleased that they got 2 decent warm ups I reckon. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. England got Bermuda!!! and that game won't tell them very much it would seem!

And I am not comparing! I am just cautioning?

 

[Turbinator]

Holy Smokes :O. Just came back from school and checked the score, GO IRELAND, if Ireland win right now... I'll like cry of happiness!

 

[rodzilla1010]

Go irelaaand...Ireland zindaabad

Oh dear! If we lose this match I'll never be able to show my face here again!
Then I'll have to put up one of those "good-bye" threads.

Dire, very dire.

Leaving aside how awesome he is, how is Leverock as a bowler? Never seen him or anything.

Always seems to be hugely better than the other Bermuda bowlers, and he's going alright today too.

I'm just watching the highlights on Sky now. He's very decent IMHO. Has quite a low arm action, not as low as Jayasuriya or Lehmann, say, but lower than is strictly orth(o)dox for SLA. He landed more or less every ball, I only saw one long-hop which Dalrymple didn't put away anyway & did turn the ball, albeit on a spinning pitch; his delivery to get KP stumped was one any spinner would be proud of.

I also have to say that static pictures don't do justice to the sheer magnificence of his bulk; Sky reckons nineteen stone, I think that's a conservative estimate!

WC 2007: Warm Ups

England: 286/8 (50 ov) beat Bermuda: 45ao (22.2 ov) by 221 Runs

South Africa: 192ao (48 ov) vs Ireland: 134/4 (36 ov) (In Play)

Sri Lanka: 279/7 (50 ov) vs Scotland: 119/7 (37 ov) - (In Play)

West Indies: 270/5 (50 ov) vs Kenya: 128/4 (29 ov) (In Play)


The hosts the West Indies must be starting to shuffle in their seats as well, Kenya are in a pretty good position if they can keep going.

Haha the dreaded curse - Just lost a wicket 130/5 from 29.4

 

[Turbinator]

Man if Ireland win, it'll be victory for both underdogs today.... . 2 upset in one day, good way to start off WC.

A man! SAF worried in the warm ups! And imagine their performance in the group matches.

So, I may see good byr thread from you today.

The West Indies will surely not lose to Kenya. Kenya are doing ok but they would need something very special.
