Not sure why it would be brought up?
So unless the Irish do something special, everyone will have won a game in Group B except Pakistan 
Losers often come up with excuses?
Isn't that good news for you lot?So unless the Irish do something special, everyone will have won a game in Group B except Pakistan
Irish coming back. Favourite again.
Yeah, but I expect us to lose to Ireland anyway so I don't think this result would matter in the end.
Fecking 12th man. Dropped the game there.
Is this the last recognised batting pair for Ireland?
Gonna be a bum squeaker of a finish!
That dropped catch will come back to haunt UAE.
Kevin O Brien is a beast.
Had the wrong O'Brien in my fantasy team! Bah
Brilliant half century by Kevin O'Brien.
Feel sad for UAE. O'Brien going hammer and tongs.
Oops. 
Damn just as I typed that
Commentator's curse...but well played KO'B.
Ireland should still stroll to the win now though, he did the damage.36 runs from 5 overs should be chased down by Ireland.
Hawk-eye is BS, no way was the ball going that high
This is turning out to be quite a finish.
4, 4, W.
Pleased that UAE still hasn't given up.

Haven't got any work done for the last hour, just glued to espncricinfo. Shame ICC for the shitty attitude towards associate nations.
Great game! Fantastic chase by Ireland.
Ireland pulled it off!
Superb from Ireland. 2 great chases so far.
Unlucky for UAE. They've played well in the both their games

When is Pak vs Ireland?
March 15. Last game of the group stages, fittingly enough.
Cracking game.
That's Pakistan out then. They now have to smash Zimbabwe, UAE and Ireland and pray that Ireland don't upset India or South Africa.

Would love it if one of Ireland make it to the next round
Well I doubt they would've gotten into the ethnicity of their opposition.
I brought it up not because Ireland was playing them, more that I saw the UAE teamsheet and most names were south Asian. There have been many posts about eligibility when it comes to football so was wondering if it's a topic in cricket.
No agenda, just curious.

Just like football, in Cricket too there is eligibility criteria for players being available to play for a particular Country. Pretty sure the squad must be satisfying those criteria obviously. Reason there are South Asian names because many people from this side of world (India, Pakistan etc) have settled in UAE. Penalty snot (banned lol) like posters will tell you that they just do car cleaning and floor scrubbing but they can play cricket too.
Day 13: Afghanistan vs Scotland | Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka
Afghanistan have bowled some good stuff, been impressed with them.
Also, Botham's mentioned it a few times in the tournament and I agree when he says if a review is decided on 'umpire's call' then you shouldn't lose the review. Doubt the ICC will change it though.

That'd lead to one hell of a lot more reviews taking place.
Nabi would get into most teams.
For ODI games where you only get 1 review, they could limit it so that if your review is decided on umpire's call, you can review again in the innings but the second review would be the last. I think it's harsh if the only review you have is lost due to a few millimetres.
Alternatively, just have 2 reviews per side per innings like Test matches.
That sounds alright.
