Group F - Ireland, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka

[Uppercut]

And NOB. Dammit Mendis!

 

[Uppercut]

Five batsmen to come. We just need one of them to come off.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

NJ O'Brien st & b Mendis 31 (37b 4x4 0x6) SR: 83.78

Wtf? I know SL depended on Mendis, but that's a tad extreme...

Edit: gah, fixed before pedant

 

[Athlai]

For 54 runs? Need 2.

 

[Uppercut]

That's it Trent. Few more of those.

Looking like curtains now for the Irish, they looked favourites up until that 3rd wicket.

 

[Uppercut]

Gone. *Sigh*

 

[cover drive man]

Goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Sorry Irish fans.

[1-9-7-7]

Jeez why don't they just get the entire White Sox pitching team to bowl for them.

 

[Athlai]

Well that no ball makes things interesting.

 

[Uppercut]

Five wides, Malinga please.

 

[Athlai]

3 6's Mooney. I dare you.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Game is probably gone now with him not really attempting to hit the free ball.

 

[Uppercut]

Gah, that's the game

Great performance though guys. Beaten by some very good bowling and a quality innings from Jayawardene.

 

[Athlai]

Malinga and Murali clearly the difference.

 

[Smith]

Malinga and Murali clearly the difference.

Mendis?

 

[Jono]

Well played Ireland. Great effort.

Ireland lost it more than SL winning it .... I believe that one should set up a chase like it is 18 overs so if anything goes wrong you still have 2 overs
