They practiced, got time off work, came, saw, tied and then conquered, now they need the bosses at home to say ok to another week off.
Ireland - the story of the World Cup so far, first an exciting tie against Zimbabwe which in reality was as good as a win for them.

Then came the Pakistan match - put into bat (which appears to be the routine at the moment) and amazingly Pakistan were bowled out for 132, then a slow, nail-biting grind backed by superb fans gave Pakistan a ticket home and Ireland are all but through to the next round - big congratulations.

England have been busy shooting themselves in the foot, on and off the field (and drunkenly in the sea at 4 in the morning if the press is to be believed).

The other matches went as fairly much as expected after a colourful opening ceremony and the event is well under way, its only been a week and so much to remember .
