Boycott has described this as the greatest ODI ever, which means he thinks it was even better than the England-India tie on Sunday. For some reason, I agree with him.

Wait ... someone on another board posted an even better version:

Vic Marks was interviewed on Irish radio an hour ago, and while he fulsomely gave Ireland all due credit, it was obvious that he was still shell-shocked.

And on the other hand, if Australia were playing Ireland at test cricket, then the Aussies might actually have a chance of winning at that format ...

So, who'd be an England cricket fan, eh? Six matches, six edge-of-seat verging on hiding-behind-the sofa affairs.
All over for Ireland, two wins out of six. With a bit of luck and more experience, who knows?

I really thought England had finally blown it against the Windies. They still might fail to get through, but it seems unlikely now.

I listened to the last hour of the English innings, and the entire Windies innings. It certainly beat watching the Paddy's day shenanigans.
In each game, England have been in a position to both win and lose - usually several times.
