With the investigation ongoing into the murder of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer Ireland face World Cup hosts West Indies this afternoon, 2.30pm start, as the cricket continues. The West Indies are not taking anything for granted, what with 2 points at stake for the Super Eight round, and they know that the Ireland squad have beaten them before, and not just in 1969. The Irish skipper Trent Johnston, however, has been ruled out of the side with an injury. You can follow today’s game here… or here. Is there a broadcast anywhere? Update Ireland have won the toss and will bat. Now 161-6 from 45.2 overs. The covers are coming off. Apparently Should it be required, West Indies’ Duckworth Lewis target would be 178 off 45 overs But it’s not required. Final Total 183-8 from 48 overs. Ireland will need to keep the bowling tight, get early wickets, and have good luck. But a win from here is not impossible. Especially when Messrs Duckworth and Lewis decree Windies need 190 from their 48 overs. Current WI Total 190-2 from 38.1 overs. End Convincing win by WIndies, with a six from Samuels to finish with and a majestic 102 from 113 balls for Chanderpaul, including 10 fours and 4 sixes.A quick reminder of past glory..
