[Fiery]

Yeah, it's great fun.

(PS: It's a genuine attempt to rebuild our shattered relationship and not an attempt at being manipulative...in case you think that)

 

[pasag]

Yeah, no hard feelings from this end either.

Great game that last night. I did enjoy it muchos. Put the babies to bed with Zimbabwe needing 30, thinking I'd come back down and the missus would have turned over, and wasn't too fussed as the game was over. it turns out she didn't bother switching off, and Ireland clawed it back. Gripping.

So the message finally got through to her then?

LOL I guess so. I've told her, I won't completely hog the TV (and God knows I don't have time to sit around watching Cricket all night every anyway) but when England games are on there will be zero-tolerance of other shows. It's bad enough that I have to endure the first innings through cricinfo!!!

*As a disclaimer I'd like to point out that my good lady does not get threatened or abused in any way and that the words "zero-tolerance" are used in a joking manner

 

[Steulen]

Absolutely gutted...decided to go to bed with Zimbabwe seemingly cantering to a win and Ireland dropping every half-chance and missing run-outs by the inch.

Turns out I missed quite something .

OTOH, totally delighted that the Irish have struck a blow for the Associates! This was always going to be the most likely match to feature a result for one of the five qualifiers.

And now for the big one: orange hell tonight

You know - seeing the absolute ecstatic face of guys like Bray after making a century make watching the WC worth it.

Please stop watching the World Cup immediately. You're supporting ODI cricket.

Thanks.

It'd be awesome if Ireland put in a good performance tonight, on St. Patrick's Day and all.

New Zealand

 

[Prince EWS]

I can't belive Ireland drew....

They should've won, they have screwed their chance of a Super 8 apperance!

No, they did it virtually no harm actually, unless Zimbabwe beat either West Indies or Pakistan.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Ireland already have one and Nazir just wore a screamer first ball of the second. Get in!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Hafeez gone early.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

[SirBloody Idiot]

Whoa whoa whoa.

Rankin snares Younis.

 

[pasag]

[Prince EWS]

Too many wides Ireland. This isn't Zimbabwe - you have to be disciplined.
