Group D - Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland

Haha, just read "N O'Brien"'s shirt as "Nob Rien". Rien being one of the few French words I can remember the definition of.

Anyway, Ireland going along reasonably well here. Just hope I don't curse them.

41/2 is a fairly solid start, considering what they're chasing.

BTW, how are Aussie posters watching this?

Looks like the luck of the Irish is being improved a bit by some dodgy umpiring calls...

Meh, monnows deserve luck tbh, plus it's St. Patricks day.

Haha, *crickets chirp*

Probably use too much of my bandwidth anyway.

 

[Turbinator]

So if Pak lose this, they are out right?

It's being shown on Main Event (for free). Channel 518 on Foxtel Digital. Not sure where it is on Foxtel normally, but it's there somewhere.

Quite.

what a terrible performance by Pakistan but you gotta hand it to Ireland, they've really made a giant step up in this tournament.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I can't wait to (not literally) see the look on Rodzilla's face when/if Pakistan go out.

Oh, wow, I just flicked over - I figured you guys had access to an internet feed or something. Thanks, mate.

Third wicket falls - Porterfield plays on to Hafeez.

 

[steds]

Bugger.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Porterfield out to a chucker, real unlucky.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Big wicket there, still alive.

I'm quite torn here. I definitely want Ireland to win for all sorts of sentimental reasons, but my financial investments compel me to support Pakistan. If Ireland do win here and get through to the Super Eights, I'll have to stop betting against them.

 

[JBH001]

Good God! Just woke up and checked the score - its all happening!

In 2 games on the same day!

 

[Slow Love™]

Just over halfway now - I haven't seen much of Ireland at all, but I presume that given they recovered from 5/90 the other day to post 220, that their lower order isn't exactly a pack of cards...

 

[Slow Love™]

That is a shocker of a call.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Woah, what a weird dismissal. That's an absolutely massive wicket, and wasn't even close to out.

 

[Tom Halsey]

****.

Come on Ireland...
