What a game!!!

Who says minnows can't provide interesting games. I am sure the Zimbabwe-Ireland game should rank right up there among some good games that have been so much fun to watch. It had everything: opener carrying his bat and scoring more than 50% of the runs, a hit wicket dismissal and then a tie for only the third time in World cup match history. South Africa were involved in both the earlier games, against Australia in 1999 and against Sri Lanka in 2003. Zimbabwe clearly choked in the later stages and Ireland will consider the tie a big victory.

wasn't the support for Ireland amazing? i just wanted Ireland for the sake of their fans..there were quite a few who would have cried right there if matsikinyeri had managed a single off that last ball. thank god, i didn't give up around the 40th over though i was sleepy as hell.

Yeah, it is really amazing how many fans are travelling with these lesser known teams in cricket and its good to see them getting something to cheer about.
