Jesus... what happens if England do the honrouable thing and just come home now? The rest of the group won't miss them, just pretend they never turned up...
ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

Probably quite good - English cricket players become world class when they are injured and not playing in defeats!
Brilliant from Ireland.
Did David Lloyd just say 'up yours' on national tv?
Oh and England
it should be called "Let's all laugh at England" 
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Get in!!!!
Get in!!!!
Fair play to the Irish, fully deserved taking advantage of our shite bowling/fielding.
Boooooooo.

Haha yeah caught that...wonder if the moral brigade will be out.
David Lloyd saying 'up yours'? What was the context?
How long before the ICC launch a match fixing investigation, they hate minnows performing.
Not just the cricketers, judging by some of the comments in the Hargreaves thread.
I think he said "Associate team saying up yours". It might be a reference to the ICC's decision not to have associate teams in the next WC, in which case he has every right to say it after today's performance.
It's fair enough to be honest - I think Ireland's aim to be a Test nation could be achievable.
Theres a world cup thread kid.
England pretty terrible though agreed.

This version of the game is rubbish anyway, 20/20 is where it's at.
Test cricket is the only form that really matters, but at least with 50 overs there is the opportunity to build an innings.
T20 is fankly rubbish, but I suppose it keeps the kids interested?
I hope not. One thing good about the English regarding cricket is their commentators. Really unbiased and classy.
Nothing much really. Something like "Everyones been questioning the lesser team's place at the WC. Ireland say 'up yours' to that"
Er or something alone those lines.
All credit to Mooney and Cuzack also for some excellent and cool batting. Bangalore has given us some crackers in the last week.
Dunno about that. There's probably less cricketers in the whole of Ireland - at any level - than there are in the smallest English county. We punch above our weight, though. Always have done, in all sports.
For a moment I thought Ireland had beaten England....
I think I speak for everyone* in Ireland when I say who cares.
*I do not speak for everyone.
*I do not speak for everyone.
A fix!
About Cricket Ireland
Don't know about that - if you take these things proportionally (taking into account the population difference) there is the potential there.
All the ODI side are professional.
ICC to consider Ireland's bid for Test status | Cricket News | ESPN.co.uk
I reckon it could be done - I would love to see it.
Yeah no way would Ireland let that go to the last over in normal circumstances :P
Do get a grip that man. Them shillelagh swingers couldn't beat an egg.
Don't be like that Brophs, it's not about the sport, it's about the opposition!
But in seriousness, really it was a great 45 minutes of sport and the reaction of the commentators and the posters in here is such a pleasant change to the usual post defeat vitriol and rage. Hats off to cwicket.
Ireland are as good as India.
Ireland are better than England
Which means Ireland > India.
Someone on betfair had 20euro @399/1 on Ireland to win
No it doesn't because we're better than the both of you.
England
Keeping the cricketing world laughing.
Ireland are better than England
Well, they're better than India too. England = India < Ireland.
You should be sharing the embarrassment.
No it doesn't because we're better than the both of you.

Try harder Spoons.
England just did an England. Most entertaining side in cricket.
We got the Irish on Sunday, bring them on!
We've beaten you too much in recent times. We just wanted to be good hosts.
And you should have beaten Ireland today. But you didn't. Nothing new!
This is piss funny
