Yeah, very respectable for us. Pity there isn't enough money for Ireland to be a professional side as that could only benefit them to become better and better.

What's the odds on West Indies beating us after battering them all over the place for the past couple of years?

[PeaceSells]

West Indies have been performing quite well in this tournament though. It wouldn't be that big a surprise if they did beat England really.

I really can't look past South Africa to win this over all. With Sri Lanka probably making the final to face them.

Really good matchd today. I thought Ireland really played well and i thought they were going to take it.

England were not as impressive with the bat today. But there fielding was superb. Broad and Wright made some great catches.

Tommorow should be good.

[Jay M. Punkster]

England were eliminated today. Paul C should be removed of captain of the one dayers imo he was rubish today, made some terrible decsions.

[PeaceSells]

Mascarenhas definitely should have been starting in my opinion. Wasn't nearly enough power batting down the order for England.

England actually bowled quite well though, and didn't bat too badly, except down the order I guess, like I said.

West Indies are just an incredible batting side. Nearly every man in that team can bat to a reasonable degree, with the majority much better than that.

We didn't bat well all the tournament, the bowlers got us to where we were. We didn't have any power hitters in the team yesterday, and people rely on Pietersen a bit too much. He's good, but not THAT good. Dimmy should've taken Rashid's place, and we should've gone with the extra batsmen, as the West Indies did, and look what happened. The two men that England didn't want to build a partnership were the two that won them the game.
