[Never beat the deeler]

I'd be happy enough with 49 more overs like that.

Need to get big Gayle out

Got him, and followed up with the wicket of Samuels in the same over.

Ireland doing really well - Windies are 87/5 after 23.3. Dockrell has 3

[ONeill]

Dockrell 3 for 23

[ONeill]

93 for 5 after 25. If Ireland maintain these averages they've a hell of a chance.

[ONeill]

Andrew McBrine. Ten overs, 0-26.

Windies starting to get a partnership going here, could do with a wicket

31/0 from last 5 overs, and the partnership has just reached 50

batting powerplay

[David McKeown]

Andrew McBrine. Ten overs, 0-26.

And Gayle hit him for 9 in one over. Some bowling on a good pitch

[ONeill]

These hoors are going for broke now. Can do damage on the scoreboard if no wicket soon.

144-5

[ONeill]

Darren Sammy 50 for 45 deliveries. He's a worry.

[Never beat the deeler]

Sammy reaches his half century and the partnership makes 76 runs.

Dockrell has bowled his quota too... Windies could reach 250+

[David McKeown]

Sammy reaches his half century and the partnership makes 76 runs.

Dockrell has bowled his quota too... Windies could reach 250+

In fairness that's probably below par and you'd have taken it before the match started

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Let that one get away. Gonna be tough to catch that total.

[Never beat the deeler]

Jaysus, I left the computer and come back to a 300+ tally. Must have been some batting from the middle order.

I see K O Brien got knocked around a bit at the end there

[Gabriel_Hurl]

This is shaping up nicely [hope this doesn't jinx them]

I could use a bit of help here. Google says the score is West Indies 304/7, Ireland 188/2. What do the numbers mean? I assume the first one is the number of runs scored. What does the second mean?
