    Just saw the video of New Zealand hammering of Pakistan's bowling specially from Ross Taylor!

    Incredible to watch! The whole match changed in last 5 overs! 100 runs partnership in 29 balls!

    Pakistani keeper Kamran Akthar dropped Ross Taylor twice. Some one cheekily commented "Behind every sucessful batsmen is Kamran Akhtar"!

    By the way Ireland was very good versus India. A good fight in the match.

      England put in a woeful performance against Bangladesh - only madce 225 runs & then let Bangladesh sneak over the line by 2 wickets. Disgraceful! So far England has played well against Sth Africa & India but badly against Ireland, Netherlands & Bangladesh. Working on that pattern they should beat the West Indies. They need to. If they lose to the West Indies & Bangladesh beats either Holland or Sth Africa then goodbye England (similarly if Ireland beat the same two nations they would also vault over England). This could be VERY embarassing.

          Your blokes are running a great line in Jekyll & Hyde right now Tigger. We saw it in Aus this summer when they won the ashes & lost the 1 dayers so badly. I just put that down to an understandable loss of focus after such a good test performance, but it seems to have been an indicator of issues in the 50 a side form of the game. Hard to get a read on them at the moment. Guess we'll find out soon enough. In the meantime start cheering for the clog-wearers ;).

                      Apologies Tigs only saw your message there - it was a decent win by England, in fairness though Scotland have been consistently appalling this tournie.

                      Having Ireland stand in your way for a Grand Slam is very dangerous, because even if things aren't going great for us, there's one thing that Irishmen and women love: throwing a spanner in the works for England ;)! Should be a great game either way (and yes, cheating Welsh are now up there with French for scuzzieness), we're more than ready to put a bit of manners on na Sasanaigh. Higher you fly, further you fall and all that jazz.

                      Our lad is great, thanks for asking! He's home, adorable and sleeping a lot/wailing when awake, with the occassional burp. He's got a mini-jersey for Saturday, I'd watch out if I was you.

                          Brilliant, not sure if you English were watching but that was fun.

                          Great performance from Ireland, as expected the idea of stopping the auld enemy warmed hearts, pity the couldn't have done it earlier in the championship! Sexton was great, and Keith Earls played a blinder, but it was a 15 man Gaelic wrecking crew, if anything they should have won by more. England shouldn't be too upset, they're a young team and are probably going to win the title later anyway.

                          In short, Ireland 2, England 0. What sport next?!

                            Hard luck today England. Honestly didn't see that coming.

                            If it helps, Woodward lost 3 Grand Slams in a row before he won the world cup :)

                            Delighted for Ireland, we really needed that!
