I was on a slope taking that, though there is something of a gradient on the oval itself.
All out for 67.
Much better batting performance today, currently 256/5 with 3 overs left. Andrew Balbirnie with a magnificent 105 and the O’Brien brothers, Niall with 70 and Kevin with 46 doing the damage.
We will need to win our last 2 games and hope Zimbabwe beat the Windies to have any chance of progressing.
We need to beat Afghanistan only and hope for a couple of results our way.
Need to beat Afghanistan and hope Zimbabwe beat the Windies. If the Windies win we would then need the UAE to beat Zimbabwe .
A big ask.

Zimbabwe get 289 in their innings, Brendan Taylor with 138 did the most damage. That’s a decent total and the Windies have some work to do, get Chris Gayle out early and who knows.
It’s very possible!
That’s good going — We could do this yet.
Windies won’t get near it.
Windies won with 4 wickets to spare … Ireland need UAE to beat Zimbabwe or they are gone.
Bollox. I thought they’d struggle to get 200.

The UAE are currently 235/7 but the heavens have opened in Harare. There’s a real chance this could be a no result, which would mean the winner of the game between Ireland and Afghanistan tomorrow would advance to the world cup.

Rain saved our bacon yesterday also I believe … we’ll never curse it again if it works out for us.
Zimbabwe are out batting now and are on 70/3 chasing a revised total of 230, this is on a knife edge.
124/4, a 79 partnership has just been broken. Hon the UAE!
any update?
Zimbabs need 57 runs from 40 balls…
This is fucking horrendous for ones nerves … 55 needed off 38 balls
oh shit… big 6 there…
They’re tacking on 1s and 2s … need a wicket here…
