No idea but the South African match is a corker of a finish!

Good game of cricket that, Pakistan bowled very well.

Cheating Irish bds ... ! He KNEW he was on the boundary that guy when he caught that ...

Just came to say that. No way was that out, benefit of doubt should have gone to Williams.

Getting a close one! number 10 is going for it!

What a fking game!

[Amirhussain]

Boom boom Zimbabwe!!!

Good finish to this match but game should be all but done - hope they really bring this up afterwards and questions are asked, this should not be allowed to just fade away. The Irish guy would have known he was touching the sponge ... no doubt. Not really in the spirit of the game to me ...

Slightly biased radio five live reporter!

[Amirhussain]

All over Ireland win. Williams would have seen them home IMO. Irish fielder knew in the back of his head his foot was on the rope.

Great game. Both sides where fantastic.

Not as bad as Broad not walking though eh ?

What an incredible match. Not quite as good as Scotland v Afghanistan, but yet another cracking match excitement wise from those associates who are not worthy. If they don't play in the next world cup it will be a travesty.Sport is entertainment as well as money.

The slightly biased irish commentator is lovely. Bless. He'll have to change his sticky underpants later, snigger.

About 20 years ago I was given out LBW playing in a village match by the bowler's dad who was umpiring ... no way was it out - it just wasn't hitting the stumps. Just got to he dressing room door when a shout went up and I was called back, and told they were withdrawing the appeal as some of the fielders thought I had nicked it. No way had I nicked it ... it just wasn't hitting the stumps (way too high) ... but I took it.

Soon out again though!

Nice story, not that you still seethe about it of course, ahem. If you had been a footballer you could have spat in his face ! And that's why cricket is better than football. You have been a gentleman about the wrong for all these years.

Also, this cricket at lunchtime is quite refreshing compared to 3am in the morning.

It might quite catch on.

+1.

Pakistan won today too in another great game. Needed that win. Maybe South Africa aren't untouchable as we think they are?..

300 ODI wickets for Vettori. First Kiwi to do so.

Maxwell 51 from 27 balls - here we go again!
