    A lot of Irish supporters would've only budgeted for the Jamaica leg, after all, thats all we expected.

    Are there many Irish there today?

    Bit worried about the fielding positions. We seem to be a bit porous.

    Not sure if that is the decent batting or the field positions. Commentators seem to think field positions are a bit unusual

    Sure look at the windies aussie game. Host nations vs the favourites and the place wasnt even half full. the organisers have cocked it up.

    Lack of crowds has been a big problem in this World Cup. Its a huge distance for Irish (or English) fans to travel. Also its a pretty inaccessible and expensive place. If it was being played in NZ or OZ than you could expect more Irish fans. Its a shame.

    Average income in Jamaica = $50 (USD) a week. Cost of ticket... probably half of that.

    Only 13 off the last 5 overs.... this is as good as a wicket, tbh... keeping KP caged.

    Before I was rudely interrupted by a wicket... :)

    I was going to say, the longer he remains quiet, the more likely he's give it a lash at some point. If he can fish for the right delivery..... well...
