length delivery and Kelly goes for the big heave- he misses and the ball is through to O'Brien to give Ireland a pulsating victory!
Ireland vs Bermuda, 6th Match at Belfast, Aug 03 2008 - Match Result
What a game we had there and Ireland survive by the skin of their teeth and will play Kenya in tomorrows first semi-final. Do join me, Chris Busby, then for a 9.30am start. Cheers
cut into point again and they get a single
driven on the front foot to long-on, sharp work in the deep keeps them to one run
short of a length and cut infront of point, they scramble another run
beats the edge with a rising delivery outside the off-stump
driven to long-off
Ireland are through- they will have a better net run-rate than Bermuda
yorker, dug out by Trott but they can't get a run
he tried to repeat the shot but this time the ball went high rather than long, Connell took a juggling catch at the third attempt on the square-leg boundary
short of a length and O'Brien has got hold of that one, pulling over midwicket for a maximum
past the edge again as O'Brien tries to cut
suicidal stuff from Bermuda, they same determined to throw this away, the ball was down the leg-side and O'Brien wanted a single as the ball rolled to fine-leg, the thow left Edness well short
clipped over midwicket and they get two runs
full ball driven back down the ground, Cusack sticks out his foot and saves a single
beats the edge and Ireland want another stumping- they seem convinced but the Umpire isn't
pushed into the covers and they scramble a quick single
driven to long-off for one run
another wicket! Driven into the covers and straight to O'Brien who sent a thow over the bails for brother Niall to complete the run-out
beats the edge as Edness goes for a driven outside the off-stump
driven to long-off and they get a single
