    Seriously, fuck off.

    'Ireland' is currently trending in Australia on Twitter and it's still the early hours here (4.14am in Perth) :D

    We were number 1 in India earlier. Now we just occupy the 4 of the top 10 :D

    Was just checking Sky anytime,it has the India v England game listed,the info on it finishes like this

    "Andrew Strauss and co must improve quickly after a poor performance in the win over Ireland"

    They really do have to improve alot it seems:)

    That was utterly amazing. I just come back from the ground. I'm going to cross-post what I posted on Irish poker boards

    Wow, my **** wow.
    I'm near lost for words about what I saw today but I will try some general musings

    Kevin O'Brien, god. Nothing else to say about him. If that doesn't win Irish sports personality/performance or whatever I have no idea what will.

    Tickets in cost 100 rupee, less than 2 euro :)

    I pretty converted every Indian sitting beside me to become an irish fan. The 2 of us were only white people in the stand, that's what you get going with the cheap seats.

    There is going to be about 100 photos uploaded of me on facebook that I will never see as local guys kepts wanting to take pics with me all day. I've no idea why. I must have posed for 25 pics after the match ended

    Kevin Peterson, lol, wtf was that shot.

    I at 1 stage was giving the over under at 40 overs until we were bowled out. That has got to go down as the greatest comeback in Irish sporting history. I'm being told we were 400-1 at one stage.

    If anyone has access to news channel called Nexus 24/7, have a watch out for match report. They interviewed me after the game as I was leaving the stadium. I probably didn't make the slightest bit of sense but it would be funny to see.

    On down side, **** you ICC and your near nazi like regulations. No bags, cameras, water anything allowed in. They didn't offer a store room so my co-traveller, had to get taxi back to our place and dump our bags off and return because of the corporate bull****. You couldn't bring any liquid into the ground, not even water or Pepsi, you know 1 of the main sponsors of the tournament. It's the sporting equivalent of flying, trying to make your life as miserable as possible. I would have captured so many awesome pics today if I was allowed.

    Oh well, nothing could put a dampner on today. Simply 1 of the best days of my life. I really haven't fully taken it all in.


    I really hope it came across like it felt like in the stadium. Never much of a cricket fan but today I'm converted for life.

    Ok. Can we please ignore the people coming on here purposely trying to stir it up?

    What we have to focus on is that, regardless of what form they're in, we beat a full ODI team and our biggest rivals (in all sports).

    After everything the country has been through in the last year could we not all just be happy for the biggest day in the history of Irish Cricket?

    but can anyone think of a more boring gam than cricket in fairness its like watching paint dry.I wouldnt mind if it was skilfull or energetic but oh no....

    ye actually should be ashamed of yourself for liking it.
    The funny thing is, the kind of person who says that about cricket tends to be a staunch fan of Manchester United - who, as a footballing side, are terribly boring and awful to watch. But they know no better

    I can't believe that you signed up on Boards just to post on Forums that you clearly have no interest in. Get a life and join the programme. :rolleyes:

    Soccer is ****e aswell,but even that on rare occasions can get good.
    Hurling has more skill ,more toughness,and you need to be a lot fitter and your eye hand co-ordination needs to be way better.
    But thats just my opinion and im afraid to say,90 percent of irish people are with me

    Fantiastic result, as soon as the result cam through all the lads in our club started texting each other. What an excellent way to kick off pre-season. Now hopefully we will get another influx of kids at summer camps just like after the last world cup, when we beat Pakistan.
    The importance of this result for the continued development of the game cannot be underestimted.

    Hi. I havent got a clue aboout the rules of cricket etc. But at 2 o clock this afternoon the sports bulletin on the radio said that ireland had all but lost to england. then when i turned it on at 4:30 they were nearly there. The last half hour was very exciting to watch. And any win over england in any sport has to be a good one. Come on the Irish Cricket Team.

    I tried to watch cricket before with a few mates, none of us had a clue what was going on, the beer didnt help, seems a bit too complicated, even reading a report of the match I didnt understand half of it, numbers everywhere, well done to the Irish team anyway
