Ya I don’t think there has been a tournament with so many twists and turns. It seems like the teams have been well looked after and have enjoyed themselves, other than the stress of the competition. Ireland win this and we lose to WI (we won’t!) there’s going to be a lot riding on the last round of matches for practically everyone.

I’m thinking we shouldn’t talk about the UAE game as a fair accompli.
They put 300 on the Irish I think it was and arecaoable of an upset.

Do you trust us in a pressure game?
It only takes three balls to remove raza cephas and BT.

I really do hope we beat the windies.
Marks us safe and means the number two spot is open to 4 teams. Unreal pressure

Agree, I would be very nervous in a pressure game against the UAE on a turning track. Their batsman have scored a decent amount of runs so far.

Geez Coetzer isn't messing around. The Irish have to get him out asap

He’s batting beautifully. Ireland are in trouble here if they don’t get him soon. Used to be a no 11 batter!!

If the groundsman prepares a deck like this we’re in shit.

Pitch is start to turn a little, will be another bat first situation I expect. Could be interesting against Roach and co batting first at 9.30am though.

Wicket, hopefully Ireland can put the squeeze on them now.
