Ireland vs South Africa, 32nd Match, Super Eights at Providence, , Apr 03 2007 - Match Result

We'll leave the last words to Maulik who writes in relation to the organisers' long list of banned items: "Seeing such low attendance, are you sure spectators are not part of the banned list?" Good night.

Well, an emphatic shot in which to bring up a win - and, in spite of a relatively cautious last few overs by South Africa, it was a fair walk in the park for them. Ireland were, as they have been all tournament, courageous and never gave up.

Another email: "Given the facts, maybe the next World Cup should be played in Zimbabwe. ICC would be perfectly at home with the Mugabwe regime wouldn't they? A police state for a police state!"

"Still we are not humans yet," says Sreeni. Not sure if that was rhetoric or a statement, but a splendid comment anyway.

Jon Kendall suggests a thermos of (tomato) soup, or even a coconut. Only if it's an ICC approved coconut, and we hear they're rather thin on the ground (and in the trees)

Henry emails: "I'm just done reading the press release. Were you aware that the ICC hasn't followed its own naming guidelines re: the ICC CWC 2007, shortening the title to CWC in the final paragraph. How can they expect any members of the public to follow their restrictive prohibitions if they can commit such an egregious sin...Tsk tsk ..."

"Reading the list of prohibited and restricted Items, I feel as if the matches are being held in India," says Amit. "I remember standing for hours and not able to take anything in for the matches back home. I was looking forward to my trip to Barbados...now it will be like walking into the Wankhede."

11 to win from 32. South Africa are sweating. Come on - bash it

A security guard writes: "I am a security guard. We just follow the orders. Please don't hate us for our short-sighted planners."
