Ireland vs england

jmx009

My cables gone haywire... Is it on the TV news yet??

It better be the first thing that they read out in news today !!

and i demand pat kenny to sit and have a chat with Kevin Obrien !! He deserves some national attention...

Cremated

No

Either way about Morgan, my feeling he is sitting somewhere watching this, and he is as happy as everyone one of us here,

I can't say I like him being with England but the man is Irish, and I'm sure he is absolutely delighted...

SSK

Man I'm exhausted after that, and all I was doing was reading cricinfo updates

Highlights at 8 on Sky Sports 3, and at 10 on BBC2 for those who want to watch/record/relive one of Ireland's great sporting days!

No sour grapes either!

Why act humble after the greatest run chase ever in a World Cup?

Because you have only won a group game, you have only attained 2 points, and you have a hell of a long way to go before you even think of a quarter final place?

You have also only played a team who (by admission here as an England and Kent fan) are very, very average at the 50 over version of the game, who are injury riddled, out of form, and fatigued from probably the most testing winter's cricket they have played?

A bit of perspective is needed, but I will say again I applaud the efforts and excitement your team has brought to the world cup today.

Dude, go whinge somewhere else.
The last thing we ever see from England is perspective.

Seriously, posting that stuff, in an Irish cricket thread, about an Irish win, its just **** behaviour.

Right now, there's loads of pakistanis going nuts on the cricinfo facebook page saying that the game was a fix. It's tiresome trying to tell them that not every country is like Pakistan.

Fair enough, I'm off. Enjoy the celebrations and be careful when jumping off the bandwagon after the India game lads

you lost, get over it

Ireland's records will stand for a long time, bandwagon or not, highest run chase victory, fastest century and of course the result will stand forever

brucechan

LondonIrish: D'Oracle is right. You should be on Whinge.ie not Boards.ie

Let us have our moment.

tricky D

I just got in a few minutes ago. Still reading the summaries. I was following for a while and decided to go for a long photo walk instead when Irl were no hopers at 40/1, Eng at 1/200 on PP. I'm very happily slightly shocked and annoyed at my lack of faith making me miss it.

I look forward to watching us do it again live, in person, some time in august;)

reb73

Chuffed for the lads, each of them looked pretty calm out there in the middle considering the occassion and the opposition!

This win, IMO, will have made it a bit more difficult for Ireland as far as progressing to the quarter finals is concerned.. The stronger teams - India, South Africa and possibly the Windies - have been forewarned and will be better prepared, but then again after chasing 327 Ireland should be bouyant and rightly so..

So what if people join the bandwagon, most of the people on this forum take an active interest in Cricket. If not, at least this game (like 2007 world cup run) will help raise the profile of Cricket here and maybe get more people involved and supportive of the team.

I have been waiting for this for ages .

Cricket has officially arrived to the masses of ireland.

Thank f*ck no one will throw stones at me for playing Cricket in Irleand - or so I hope.

PS: no one ever did that, but I was asked a few times by some old timers 'isn't that the english game you are playing' etc.

PPS: I haven't played cricket in Ireland in a few years! :rolleyes:

For the 2nd time but hopefully it will be more beneficial this time. This is the sort of news that it's good to see being reported Worldwide and to hell with the begrudgers.

Incredible game . . this result will make quite a stir

Hey, just wanted to say congrats to you guys.. I've no interest in cricket myself but I'm over the moon for its Irish followers.

Congratulations to Ireland - fantastic performance, particularly from KOB. Not sure I can bear to watch the highlights tonight - all sorts of records established - some that may survive a long time

Think I'll vote yes now!!

Your comment is uncalled for.
Sangakara was also allegedly in for fixing his previous match. These are speculations and allegations which come to air when an unexpected twist comes to surface. So it comes with the good. Why act like a teenager and bother "trying to tell them". Enjoy the victory, its well deserved

Comedian / Cricket nutter Andy Zaltzman (Cricinfo, Test Match Sofa, The Bugle) has been Tweeting like crazy from the press box:

Martial law declared in London. One to the sweeper for Mooney. 3 to win off the last over. Shall we call it an honorable draw?
...
Rioting in Manchester, people burning effigies of Len Hutton. Not sure I'll ever be able to return home.
...
Anderson to Mooney... and he slams it to midwicket for 4. The greatest victory in Irish cricket, one of the greatest in all cricket.
...
Prince Charles seen frantically paddling a canoe across the English Channel to find safe haven in France...
...
Strauss blames defeat on a combination of "the merciless claw of fate" and Matt Prior eating the team's lucky chicken, Genevieve.
...
Kevin Pietersen also refuses to acknowledge result. "We had our feet off the ground when the toss was made, so it doesn't count."
...
Mike Gatting pledges to eat his own weight in Dublin Bay prawns in pennance. Bob Willis donates himself to charity.

What a day for cricket. Another privilege to witness. Signing off now to try to find some Irish ancestry...

More importantly I was there! At 3.50pm I realised that the win was on and ran out of the house and down to my local to watch the final overs on TV with a pint. When I got to the pub the TV wasn't even on but by the final overs everyone had moved down to watch and were shouting Ireland on! Even people with only the vaguest knowledge of cricket were excited by history being made by Ireland.
I was there when Ian Botham won the Ashes at Headingley and Edgbaston (in my armchair) but because I was lucky enough to watch it live the memory will always stay with me. Happy days.

Unbelievable result. It just shows what dividends hard work and planning pay.

Sherifu

Amazing, was sure they had no chance of getting over 300 like many on here earlier.

Phenomenal result for Irish cricket.

Lol @ the poll now, when I voted yes at the start of the match it was about 50/50

Marshy

No

Hard to put the result into words!

Amazing to think that literally one of the great one-day innings has come from an Irishman. To score that quickly for a sustained period under that pressure is something, he just kept coming up with the big shots. Outstanding.

I actually thought we did well in the end to restrict Eng to below 330. Didn't think we'd chase it but figured the guys would give a good account with the bat. Certainly did that, amazing win.

Hope you did not put much money on man.

What a result for Ireland, truly fantastic, definately one to wind all the brits up anyway!

Dozen Wicked Words

No

I had the last of my Paddy Power money on Ireland, 7 whole euro at 10/1. Delighted, Ireland and England both got what they deserved. Ireland were terrific and England were shocking in the field and with the ball, as they were against the Dutch.

Still hope England go on and win the tournament (not very likely!) but this has been a fantastic boost for my bank balance and nearly as importantly, Irish Cricket, not only a win in a World Cup, but a win against England.

Congratulations Ireland.

what odds were Ireland to win this?

Absolutely delighted with the result. Even more so as at 110-5(approx) it looked like we were on course for a hiding. Even on the Cricket Ireland ball-by-ball commentary at that stage they were saying I don't know whats left in this game for Ireland. Amazing innings from Kevin O'Brien.

Between England cherry picking our best players and the ICC idea of reducing the number of teams to 10 next time out its a constant battle against the odds. Don't forget Netherlands beat England in the 20/20 a few years back and ran them relatively close last week so even with a few hidings its very short-sighted by the ICC to reduce the number of teams.

Its big for the Irish players as I'm sure they felt their best chance of a win against a test nation in this world cup had passed them by last Friday.

KevIRL

Amazing stuff, still pretty emotional.

Shame shame shame on the ICC for pretty much ruling out these sort of days for the next world cup. Boo-urns

Memnoch

I know highlights will be on but does anyone know if there will by any place to watch the Irish innings (and especially the post match commentary from the Sky sports team) in full anywhere?

Missed the live broadcast and would love to watch them cry!
