When Bermuda's Hurdle bowled a 14-ball over this morning, you almost wanted to walk up and call off the game to prevent them from the misery. But they fought back in an impressive manner and if they had held on to the catch off Jayawardene's first ball, they could have restricted SL to an even smaller total.
Later in the day, Jeremy Bray of Ireland played a wonderful innings to lend respectability to Ireland's total against Zimbabwe. He scored a magnificent century, carrying his bat and finishing on 115. He contributed to more than 50% of the team's total. A wonderful performance indeed. I won't be surprised if Ireland can now successfully defend this total of 221 and 'upset' Zimbabwe.

Sunil Gavaskar 1975
Jeremy Bray 2007
anyone else?
I know Ridley Jacobs did it in 1999 against Aussies. Geoff MArsh did it in India in 1987. And apparently Turner did it on the same day as Gavaskar, thats very interesting :).
Finally, Maraj of Canada and Attapattu of SL achieved the feat in the 2003 world cup in South Africa. Not sure if I have missed any more.
