2015 World Cup Result | Ireland beat UAE by 2 wickets in close encounter

[cricfan967]

Anwar with a hundred, brilliant!

 

[adnan yasin]

*** is that crap? Why are umpires only talking to batsman and not bowler? Anybody know the rule. Seems kinda unfair to batsman

Biased umpires.....batsman has every right to move at the crease and whatever he do

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shaiman Anwar! What a knock! Come on UAE!!!

 

[cricket.mad]

What a fantastic batting by anwar..superb

 

[Iffitheking]

Great inning.... and no show off sajda... ...

 

[Big Mac]

Lovely shot to bring up your hundred

 

[cricfan967]

Take a seat Kevin

 

[ViciousMachine]

What an amazing 100!!! Well played!!!

 

[JamalAfridi]

Congrats Shaiman. Fantastic

 

[hamzie]

[Saffer_XIII]

Lol that was one of the most entertaining overs I've ever watched

 

[cricket.mad]

These sort of displays make cricket more intresting..excellent batting

 

[Watsupdoc]

Well deserved century!

 

[iHammad]

Kevin O Brien has gone for 61 runs in 7 overs.

Go UAE Go! How awesome would it be if they actually won this.

 

[JamalAfridi]

Loving this.

 

[cricfan967]

Anwar doing a favor for Pakistan here.

 

[JamalAfridi]

Ireland might win, but it will be close.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Out, but what an amazing innings!! Totally changed this game

 

[JamalAfridi]

Well played Shaiman.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Ireland are still favorites though.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a hacky shot

 

[iHammad]

278/9 after 50 overs.

Ireland need 279, UAE to win this.

 

[azamcricketer]

Can we borrow some batsman from Uae?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good total from UAE. Should be a good game. Hopefully the UAE will win

 

[Laal]

If UAE gets Stirling and Joyce early on, stick a fork in Ireland.

 

[JamalAfridi]

Well done UAE. Proud of minisubcontinent. haha it will be epic if they win.

 

[Logical]

Can we have Anwar? He's Pakistani anyways.

 

[adnan yasin]

it will be a tough chase for ireland

Well played

 

[Canistani Hero]

Shaiman Anwar you legend

 

[Logical]

and he can't speak English would fit in our team perfectly !

 

[hur rizvi]

Decent total for UAE, If they pick early wickets Ireland can be in trouble

 

[Silverlion]

Keywords, intent and purpose.

Pakistan team does not even no what they are.

 

[hur rizvi]

Can we have Anwar? He's Pakistani anyways.

Can we have him for our match against Ireland

Replacing Younus khan

 

[adnan yasin]

World record for 7th wicket partnership in WC.. Amazing

 

[Dr_Bassim]

He averages more than 10 of Pakistani batsmen barring Misbah.

Would be a delight to have.

 

[adnan yasin]

Can we have him for our match against Ireland

Replacing Younus khan

No, u cant replace an out of form experience player with an inform rookie player

Pakistan logic

 

[cricwiz]

It can turn out to be a tough chase for Ireland, as they are favourites to win this match.

In matches with big teams Ireland play with nothing to lose attitude, but here scenario is pretty much different..

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Ireland death bowling strategy

120kph short balls, followed by 121 kph short balls, followed by 110 short and wide balls, followed by short etc. etc.

If only there was a 90mph, 6ft 8 fast bowler for us to call on!!

Still, pitch has zero real batting issues (all our wickets were down to batman error) and there is a massive outfield

We've done it before plus pitch is flat, not worried yet

Different circumstances. UAE has better bowling than Netherlands, it would be a great win for the irish if they win. Who knows, it might be time for some irish jig.

 

[ali_786]

UAE favourites here. Cmon!

I thought UAE bowling is pretty ordinary

For some reason they arent playing Nasir Aziz, with his variations he would have troubled Irish

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Disgusting. Rankin will probably never make a world cup again .

 

[hur rizvi]

Ireland is favourite, UAE need early wickets, specially of Stirling to make it interesting

 

[hur rizvi]

Disgusting. Rankin will probably never make a world cup again .

He should comeback to Ireland like Joyce did

 

[IAJ]

Ireland chased down 300+ against Windies so this should be easy for them.

But for Pakistan's chances let's hope UAE can upset them.

 

[Big Mac]

Stirling gone, caught behind chasing a wide delivery. Perfect start

 

[Silverlion]

Actually, I found their top three bowlers a bit better than many of our tigers. May be Aqib is doing a decent job. They are not even full time cricketers, so pretty good by that standard.

 

[ali_786]

I think people are severely overrating Ireland. Yes they have decent batting, but they are no Australia of the 2000s. Sterling and co. aren't Ricky Ponting and co. At the end of the day they are strong for an associate nation. They will put in an incredible performance now and then like against WI but they will not do that every time. 300 is not an easy score for anyone, and definitely not for Ireland; who will not go out and just make 300 every time like some of you think.

 

[hur rizvi]

Big wicket for UAE

Stirling is massive player for Ireland

 

[ViciousMachine]

What a start!! Game on

 

[cricfan967]

Wow, a UAE win really increases Pakistan's chances

Just as I posted that, Stirling goes.

 

[iHammad]

Pakistani expats in UAE doing their part to help Pakistan qualify for the quarter finals

 

[hur rizvi]

Come on Pakistanis in UAE team make Pakistan's Job easy

6-1 in 3 overs

 

[hamzie]

these guys are getting great ball movement

our batsmen would have struggled if they were batting atm

 

[JaDed]

Wow I would never see Bopara or Panesar helping Indian team like the expats are doing for Pakistan

 

[JaDed]

Oh Manjula is Sri Lankan

 

[Silverlion]

this bowler naveed reminds one of waqar younis.

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

UAE clearly on top here. They can win this

[JibranAnsari]

ireland should win this easily.

 

[hur rizvi]

good over for the Irish

 

[in_cutter]

So, if Ireland win this...Pak are in further danger?

 

[adnan yasin]

Grugue is bowling really tight line

 

[Justcrazy]

So, if Ireland win this...Pak are in further danger?

Yes .

 

[Justcrazy]

35 / 1

10 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

UAE 44/0 in 10 overs

Ireland 35/1 in 10 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

If ireland win this pakistan must win all their remaining matches.

Ireland deserves to go forward if we fail to beat SA anyway as they have beaten westindies.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

UAE need to win today so that Pak can progress further.

[MENTION=16]Amjid Javed[/MENTION]

Brother is this guy bowling Amjad Javed related to you in any way

 

[ViciousMachine]

[Big Mac]

[MRSN]

Pakistan's only hope was one of UAE or Zim beat Ireland to stay in the event.
