The First game in World Cup and after so long wanting some good news from the legends of Calypso land where 15-20 years ago we had Viv Richards, Ambrose and this is the news I get.
Ireland 307 for 6 (Stirling 92, Joyce 84, N O'Brien 79*) beat West Indies 304 for 7 (Simmons 102, Sammy 89, Dockrell 3-50) by 4 wickets, made in 45.4 overs@Saxton Oval
And this is what was said of the game "Ireland put the world in the cup as the obliging West Indies sleepwalked to an embarrassing - does it embarrass them anymore, though? - defeat during which only Darren Sammy and Lendl Simmons seemed awake in rescuing them from 87 for 5. The West Indies bowling was as flat as their top order as the adventurous Paul Stirling, smooth Ed Joyce and nerveless Niall O'Brien coasted to the target of 305 efficiently and without any anxiety despite a late wobble that came too late. "
With folks Chris Gayle
Interesting was the location of the game it was thelocation in NZ, so far away from Ireland and WI coast. As someway said the end of the World.
