    399/1 when the fifth wicket went apparently somebody had €25 and bagged €10k according to RTE news.

    25/1 Betfair at start after England won toss. 5 million euro traded on england at this price or below. Ireland matched at 400 for 25 and lots more from 100 up

    those odds seem pretty poor considering Ireland is ranked 10th in the world and england is only 5th

    When Porterfield was out first ball I put 10 Euro on Ireland to win at 33/1 (on Paddy Powers). I probably should have shopped around with some other companies, but I can't really complain.

    Well I had ten euro on Ireland at 8/1, a win is a win but I had Joyce for top batsman but I'll let Kev get it this time :D...

    The rankings aren't linear, the top 6 teams are all pretty even but after that the quality starts to drop dramatically. Its more like if you ranked the hurling teams in Ireland, today would have been like Dublin beating Cork in the championship.

    I got 14/1.

    400/1 was a crazy price. Somebody "buying money" had a bad day.
