St. Pats day indeed.
As I write, 5.45 am, Ireland is in with a chance, having dismissed Pakistan for 133.
Now that would be sweet. Pakistan's antics over the last year or two have not endeared it to fans of the game. Let's see the interpreter handle this one at the post match conference!
Anyway, by the time you read this we'll probably know.

could be a big day

bangladesh are 28 runs away from beating india

27.3 overs gone

players have walked off bad light ....

ireland 4/81 need 52 to win

Duck Lewis par score Ireland need to be at 59

wonder what the bookies will pay ???

If no more play, Pakistan are on their way home....no points from two games - Woolmer I suggest this website might help: seek.com.au or sportspeople.com.au

Ireland are starting to fall apart. 7/113 needing another 15 runs for victory

4 runs needed of 44 balls 3 wickets in hand surely the luck of the Irish couldn't desert them now!!!

WELL? who won

ATM Eire need 1 run to win.....

Apparently all the Paki fans have left

*Edit*

Johnston, the 'keeper , has hit a six to win it....

Ireland just won with a 6.
You can get ball by ball updates for all games on http://www.cricket.com.au
Pakistan are going home: probably to jail.

Lol. What a disgrace the Pakistan side is. Even the Redbacks could beat Ireland

Hmmm....what was Ireland paying to win that game?

What could you possibly be suggesting MW

I wonder what the Ireland/Bangladesh double paid!

im sure an indian bookie would have good odds

As I said when AU beat SCOTLAND never ever underestimate your opponent.

Well provided Bangladesh beat Bermuda (which they should do) and Sri Lanka beat India (highly likely), India will be on their way home too. How funny will that be, both India and Pakistan home early - that will do a lot for the TV rankings on the sub-continant......

If anyone saw the CT last year, whenever India didn't play, noone turned up, can hardly see them watching the world Cup if India are back home...

These results is what is great about the world cup...these type of upsets can really boost cricket...remember Kenya made the Semi's last world Cup...Bangladesh looked really impressive, perhaps they are the Sri Lanka of 20 years ago?

I looked last night and these were the approx odds -

IND $1.11
BANG $7.00

IRE $15.00
PAK $1.03

The double playing $105-

Hmmmm with India and Pakistan both losing to rank outsiders......is the fix in?
I'm sorry for ireland and Bangladesh that that is the inevitable question, but it is.

In context it's like the equivalent of a mid ranking SANFL side defeating any AFL side.

I think your right there, some eye brows would be raised.

Also think about the warm reception that India and Pakistan will recieve from there fans if they both come home early.
