ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, UAE 2010

[Steulen]

Here we go with the other match..Ireland vs. UAE. Ireland should win this, but UAE have been very impressive so far.

friend of mine...when i watch a dutch game from ball to ball we lose...when I sleep through the game or just busy we win...hehehe

Decent effort from Ireland. Gary Wilson shows he's not a complete nit for the first time in his career then gets run out backing up . Poor guy.

 

[Stapel]

that would still need Holland to win vs Ireland...which tbh we don't do that often (almost never recently)

Have we ever met Ireland in a T20, apart from the abandoned Final of the last WC-T20 qualifying tournament?

Don't think so.

If Ireland win today, we'll effectively have two finals for a World Cup place.

If UAE win it's Total Confusion time, where a team could go out with two wins or gain a WC place with one win.

We played you guys in a warm-up match for the World T20 in June. Ireland won it in a super over after they tied the game.

 

[Uppercut]

Sounds like Ireland are having one of their on-days in the field.

 

[Uppercut]

Jeez, UAE don't stick around. 26/3 off 3 with two sixes.

That's the one. The Dutch were breezing that one until the faltered in the end. Weird game.

Another Arab 6, btw. Could be interesting, this one.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, so nervous.

Cusack! Have to catch the highlights of this one, apparently there's been some great fielding.

You might actually see the c&b. The 'highlights' is just a one-camera sequence of balls disappearing out of frame and the bowler celebrating two seconds later. better than nothing I suppose.

 

[Kweek]

highlights? where?

Uae 70/5

Saqib Ali bowled Cusack 63 (49 balls, 5x4, 2x6) SR: 128.57

Now then Ireland finish this off.

Haha yeah. Will also see the ball fly out of nowhere and demolish the stumps for Porterfield's run out.

Always nice to see The Dutch on the frontpage of Cricinfo

Big game tomorrow then....

 

[Steulen]

Fantastic, two all or nothing games tomorrow.

Bugger it's not a working day so will be hard to keep up with the scores.

 

[Kweek]

Haha that's just superstitious and silly. You should definitely watch it live.
