***Official*** ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2008

8 overs won't work for them if Hakon is right and Ireland are credited with 45/9 rather than 43/9.

Stop dropping catches Ireland... should be 3/4...!

Wikipedia - the only source I can find at present - suggests I'm right.

Then again, I wrote that article (but it seemed to be correct during the world cup).

Tournament Playing Conditions Section 21.9.4:

"Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final target score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target."

7.4 overs it is. Now I know where I got the inspiration for Tim Watson from.

Bermuda 14/3 - Connell clearing up...

Bermuda 14/3 - Connell clearing up...

when he doesn't bowl wides...

7.4 overs is exactly 46 balls btw. So they need a run a ball.

And still do, having made 17 off 17.

29 off 29. 29 is a prime number and the sum of three consecutive squares.

20 needed off 16.

Edge some fours ffs.

Edit: Was 22 Now 21 off 12

12 as well. A wicket came off the fourth.

Now 20 off 9. Looks like Ireland have this in the proverbial bag.

 

[Neil Pickup]

26/6 - looks safe for the Irish - and a good thing too. Bermuda at the World Twenty20 would have been too embarrassing to contemplate.

Oh well, the Dutch have a habit of beatibg Scotland on the big stage...let's hope this is big enough for them.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

That's that. Congrats to Ireland.

Will finish second and play Netherlands if they concede a run in the final over, however...which came there.

Worst possible outcome imo.

EDIT: Ireland win, finish top ;}

Er, no, wait, that's me being stupid. With two wins they go through in first, of course.

So Ireland v Kenya, Netherlands v Scotland.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

How long have Bermuda been able to eek out one half-decent showing in the ICC Trophy a good three years ago for now? They've never shown much potential at all and their board would give the PCB a run for their money.

 

[andruid]

So Ireland v Kenya,

The first of 9 collisions between us over the rest of the year. Hopefully the game will be a thriller like the one in the WCL last year

 

[andruid]

13/2 off 2.3 and he terribel habit of giving away too many dot balls is bac

 

[andruid]

27/4 off 6.5 overs as Obanda holes out

 

[andruid]

57/8

 

[Steulen]

Abysmal showing by Kenya. Irish qualify.

 

[andruid]

Not yet... Ireland 2/1 off 2
