Was trying so hard not to comment. 🙁

And, to add to it all, tomorrow morning I am due to talk to a colleague who is not only Irish, but also lives in Oz. He’s going to be insufferable!

There is nothing else for it – you will just have to kill him.

O’Brien is on fire.

FFFS

Awesome stuff. I cannot stand one day cricket but this is quality bludgeoning!

Sounds like a great innings. Enjoying the commentary.

And dropped!!!

Wow… defo going to watching this one on catchup tonight!

Outstanding stuff! Ireland favourites to win now?

And another drop and another 6

Absurd

What are the chances of another draw?

(Says an England fan clutching at straws)

This is crazy! We had just pegged them back a bit and colly gives another 6.

Fielding has been poor all WC, what’s happened we were on fire during the Ashes?

What are the chances of another draw?

No, we’re going to lose this one (typical English cricket fan pessimism)

Ohh yeah we will lose this save for an implosion by Ireland now.

Good on them.

Splendid innings.

100 off 50 balls

(Applauds O’Brien)

Oh dear Oh dear!

Fantastic knock from O’Brien though, big respect!

SUPERB stuff! And here I was today deriding the ‘minnows’ and these early stage matches to one of my colleagues 😆 🙄

Minnows? I assume you mean England 😉

😳

C’mon Ireland! Don’t let ’em off the hook again… great cricket this!

Not a good time for a runout!

Great win by Ireland. Looking forward to watching the highlights later.

Shazzam! Nice way to finish it off… really looking forward to the highlights now 🙂

England will still get through the group stage won’t they??

pah

I was there!

I was there!

Really? That would’ve been a brilliant game to watch, were you in Bangalore for the India game as well? Lucky devil if you were…

Oh my word…avoiding result all day but just heard it on the radio. Just thought I’d pop in to say hello. *waves*

Don’t worry though lads, we don’t take it that seriously. Tremendous innings from O’Brien. Fair dues.

😀

“Really? That would’ve been a brilliant game to watch, were you in Bangalore for the India game as well? Lucky devil if you were…”

Yup!

I’m out here working and desperately trying to get tickets for Sunday….

without a helmet at times, good man o’brien.

Tremendous innings from O’Brien. Fair dues.

Agreed – some of us have said so already – no point in being a sore loser when someone pops up with a game like that.

But our fielding was atrocious apparently

Ireland were not great up to 120 or so and then O’Brien turned it right around. He was indeed on fire!

This has pretty much blown it wide open and it looks like it’s going to be a great World Cup.

Englands fielding wasn’t that bad to be honest…

Englands fielding wasn’t that bad to be honest…

We dropped about 4 relatively catches from what I heard and read on the BBB updates

It was unlucky for sure. But they are still a very good team and have 3 matches to go…
