O'Brien who?

I don't know if there any Irish cricket fans here but if there is, congrats on a huge win.

I am.

[Baddar]

TCO will be a fan now, anyway.

Congrats.

Far more impressive then the win over Pakistan. Pakistan's batting collapsed and still made a game out of it. You guys pulled off a record breaking chase here.

Hey, I'm English but this game has made me an Ireland fan

Niall O'Brien was Kent's wicket keeper when Geraint Jones got called up to England's central contract, so being a Kent lad myself I've always loved him so of course I love his younger brother too!

[sahyder1]

The first Man of the Match in cricket history with pink hair?

[Gazz]

I suppose that we can take consolation in that England can call up Kevin O' Brien to the ODI team after the World Cup.

[TCO]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! :lmao:

That's all that can be said really. Kevin O'Brien is a hero amongst men. Beat the English at their own game.

I love it!

Ruled out watching this match, definitely didn't suspect an upset was brewing. Great day though, somewhere the Irish side of my family is probably overjoyed.

Collin Miller maybe?

I am now.

Congrats to Ireland, That was one hell of a chase.

[Plubby]

IRELAND!

Awesome!

[The Future]

Awesome win, the 3 "lesser" teams of that group ireland,Netherlands and Bangladesh are not to be taken lightly.

[Lineker]

I actually watched the game with an Irishman. Funny as he had no clue how (literally, the rules of cricket) Ireland were winning. But well deserved. Funny as hell to watch. We just can't do World Cup's in any year that isn't 1966 or 2003...

South Africa is dominating the Dutch as predicted but Canada is giving Pakistan some trouble. Pakistan won the toss and batted first but are now 67/4 in 15.3 overs.

[Baddar]

Yeah, I came in to say that Pakistan are currently 83-4 with no reviews remaining.

I still think Canada would need to bowl them over for under 200 to have a chance.

...and Akmal hits a 6.

Chasing anything over 170 will be trouble for Canada I think. I think Gul and Razzaq will get good movement with the ball.

[sahyder1]

Hats off to the Canadian bowling attack. Pakistan all out for 184. Still don't think has a chance to chase this though. Despite his two ducks I'm surprised Davison isn't playing.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Oh please come on Canada! 104 for 3. 81 runs to get in 18 overs. Plenty of time...This would be a bigger shock than England/Ireland.
