Ireland make 209/7, did they forget this was an ODI or something?!

Looks like everyone took their time to settle in and get half-starts and no one really kicked on to a higher gear..

Afghanistan 20/0. This looks like a foregone conclusion
 
Irish desperately need a few more wickets here if they want to make a match of this.

Well well. Asking rate close to a run a ball now.

Match turning?

It’s official! Afghanistan, apparently done and dusted by the fourth round in the group stages, have risen from the dead and made it to the World Cup.

What a tournament this has been!



Sums up how competitive this tournament has been

Just so bad what the ICC are doing, why wouldn't you want the game to grow, how much money to England, India and Australia need.

Excellent reflections from the captain on what awaits the associates.

If we move focus away from the ridiculous decision to have a 10-team 50 over World Cup, those outside of the 12 test playing nations need more money to keep progressing. The ones who show promise and/or have a long history need enough to sustain a professional squad of 16. I'm thinking of Scotland, Holland, Kenya, Namibia, Canada, Nepal, PNG, Hong Kong (and Denmark given their contribution to English county cricket over the years). £1 million a year should allow them to have a full programme, to put it into context, 6 weeks pay for a top IPL player.
 
Tournament final today.

Afghanistan bundled out WI for 204 and are now 25/0 in 5 overs. Looks like they will win it all!
