So that's our coverage finished in Ireland for the time being. The West Indies win by the slender margin of one point, although Ireland will be pleased with their performance in beating their associate neighbours.

Today Scotland lost their way when seemingly well set, collapsing miserably after Watson departed. For Ireland the undoubted star was Andre Botha who bowled with great control to peg Scotland back, with Ireland impressive in the field

Botha to complete a marvelous spell, I don't think anyone would begrudge him another wicket, apart from the Scots that is!
