Four!!

3 runs from 7 balls. If they don't lose a wicket they'll surely do it..

All over. Well done. Yer man Dockrell seemed to be riding his luck there.

What was the strategy from Ireland? Bowl first, and bank on fatigue from the UAE and near the end and then unleash the likes of O'Brien.
The scoring on some of the early overs was stink. Is that accepted?

Chases seem to follow no rhyme nor reason, so I don't mind them making a hash of it in the early overs. But why did they chose to bowl? I once read Allan Border saying that when deciding whether to bat or bowl, nine times out of ten he would choose to bat. The tenth time he would think about it and choose to bat. Seems even more important in these days of boshing batsmen.

Missed all that drama, stuck in a bloody meeting

Anyways, I think we are going to need a bigger wagon
