Yes
Thought we should have one.

Great start made as well. 292-6.








We get a chance to bad shortly, Holland did quite well....
 
And for those who want a better understanding of the game, a famous quote:

"You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game."
 
We need 71 runs from 10 overs to win - only 2 wickets down, so we have a good chance!
Come on Belly!
 
1 run to go, 9 balls....

Bopara has hit a 4 to win!! gotta be one of Englands highest succesful chases.
 
Gotta be said as well, really they should have only got about 200 runs, but hey ho.
If this is to be our bad performance of the world cup, then we have got it out the way and still won. If it is the start of a run of bad performances then the lads will have some time of before they had planned it!
 
If anyon wants to watch todays highlights, they are on the BBC red button now, one of the greatest WOrld CUp Matches ever!!
 
KP and strauss warming things up nicely.....
 
210 for 2 after 35 overs. Should be well over 300 runs, maybe 350....
 
327, so splitting the difference on my predictions.
 
Jimmy A strikes with the first ball, Ireland 0 for 1.
 
If he'd left it it wouldve been close to a wide :D:D:D

Maybe a slight exageration, but not a good ball from Anderson. Or the following one which was identical, plus the wide he's just bowled.
 
Well after that start, Ireland are coming back hard - Kevin O'brien is gonns be close to knocking the 5th fastest one day century ever, and the fastest in the World Cup ever!! He has 13 fours, 6 sixes and will get his hundred from less than 50 balls!

Ireland need less than a run a ball to win! 58 runs, 56 balls.......
 
now favourites, a ten pound bet on Ireland could have made £4k at the longest odds if they win!
 
any one fancy England...2 overs to go 12 to win
 
Well done the Irish.

K O'Brien to play for England?
 
Yeah, bopara in the next game.

England also need to learn that the words Batting, Power and Play do not mean chuch away your wicket!
 
wow!
 
Come on lads, lets have a good day today and make the quarters!!
 
very...
 
they need early wickets, especially Gayle, to have any hope with that score.

Pitch is turning though and theyve picked 2 spinners (loose description in one case)
 
even more interesting...
 
Sarwan gone!! Come on swanny!
 
swanny on a hat trick!
 
Sorry he is not. A dot ball between the 2 wickets.

223 for 9 - needing 244
