Ireland v Australia ODI

Today in Dublin, which sadly is a little too far for me to be travelling to.
If Ireland win, they'll overtake Zimbabwe in the ODI rankings, and they're off to a reasonable start - Australia won the toss and opted to bat, and they're at 51/1 after 12 overs, with Ireland holding them back fairly well.
Have to admit I have my Ireland hat on for this one, and even though it wouldn't help Zim in the rankings I'm cheering with the Blarney Army for an Ireland win. GO IRELAND!

Yes, they are. Full Member status, coming to a cricket side near me soon, hopefully.
Aus 168/4 after 41. 220-240 is a good total at Clontarf, so Ireland not allowing the Aussies to get their own way...

Aus 231/9. Ireland can chase that, but they're prone to the occasional Zimbabwe-style batting collapse, so I'm not getting too hopeful yet. Good performance from the bowlers, though.

Ya well done Ireland
Kyle O Brian's a good cricketer. He's a more than useful quick bowler and a very good batter. He's the Kieran Pollard of the Irish side
Well done lads

Ireland 46/0 after 5 - motoring along at double the required rate. Wonder how long they can keep this up for?? ::bites nails::
