handy 10 wicket win over kenya today Kenya, after opting to bat first in the Twenty20 International, was bowled out for a mere 71 in 19 overs. In its reply, Ireland chased down the target in just 7.2 overs to end at 72 for no loss. Kenya: 71, 19 overs (Tanmay Mishra 28; Boyd Rankin 3-20, Alex Cusack 2-5, John Mooney 2-11, George Dockrell 2-14) Ireland 72-0, 7.2 overs (William Porterfield 56 n.o.) |

Yeah heard the radio report this morning and saying Kenyan's were an absolute joke Big win for Nambia over scotland today was looking for a scots win there then an Irish victory over them would sort of neutralise the Nambia defeat as think only the top team in the mini league goes through to the final and get one of the two qualification spot's available (think thats right)Think its Italy tomorrow so another 10 wicket win will do the run rate a world of good

Just looking there and didnt realise there was still a chance to make the final if we dont top the group though it'll be pretty tough Cant see Nambia gettin beat though the rest of the group stage. So should be aiming for 2nd place and hopefully a game again Canada then play winners of Dutch v Scots and get revenge on Nambia WTF is the craic with Di Venuto playing for Italy?? Think maybe we should be checking if Hayden, McGrath and Warne are eligible for us if thats how they're playing it

Boyd is bowling some of the best stuff I have seen him deliver. The top five, Joyce excluded are out of form and Wilson has been required in every game to "do a job" Stirling is doing great work with the ball though. Big tests ahead though if we are to get a spot. |

two group winners (a1 and b1) play each other, winner gets a place meanwhile a2 plays b3 and a3 plays b2, winners play each other, winners of that play the losers of the above match (a1,b1) for a place in the tournament |

| Kerzy the top team in each group go into a play off for one off the spots in the overall final. Then 2nd in Group A plays 3rd in group B and 3rd in Group A play 2nd in Group B(Ireland). The winners off both games then play off for the right to play the loser off the game between the 2 group winners for the 1 spot left in the overall final. Then I think the winner off the overall final gets the 1 spot on offer(not sure if there is 1 or 2 spots available for the world 2020 tournament) |

They are traditional unfit though and we are playing them in the 20,000 seater SCS. Big outfield, bat first and put them about the pitch. There didn't look like there was much for the spinners in it against Scotland. Our downfall v Namibia was a number of things. The 24 run over from Mooney, us slowing the rate and not taking chances, Wilson gifting his wicket having got back into it. Uganga took them to 4 runs, and they were sh*te. |

In summary Kerrzy. Afghans were in a few sections behind the wicket, and basically fenced in. Whereas we were spread about around the midwicket section. Neturals and all were in our section and some lad produced a pakistan flag. Cue mayhem. The Afghans started roaring and shouting, then a load of them scaled the fence and charged our section. They started beating the sh*t out of the fella that they thought had produced the flag, with their shoes, and the others started throwing shoes at us. The lads with the flag ran into our section, cue the Afghans trying to row with us. It all got a bit mental for 5/10 minutes. Security was a complete joke. Then we got "evacuated" into the VIP boxes for the end, as the head of security claimed he couldn't guarantee our safety. Fun times. |

After I posted that I checked my email and was £37.50 for the england game 2 or 3 years ago and it was pretty much a wash out/piss up off a game. Have an Eire q/f ticket booked and still no confirmation from work about getting the extra time off for it so this is looking very likely though if I have to go on me own i'll have to be supporting the aussies in the hope some fit aussie burds are present

They played just over 10 overs and thats what they needed to avoid a refund. It probably is the minimum but a lot more associations are more friendly in terms of refunds. I know Cricket Ireland are hardly the BCCI or ECB but there should be an element of friendliness regarding it.
