I was delighted last night to watch the final few overs of Ireland against the West Indies on the CWC, in Nelson (top of the south Island). West Indies set a target after their innings of 305 and beating that is very rare... only happened 4 times previously in CWC history. But 2 of the 4 were by... Ireland. And they did it again, with 4 wickets and 4 overs to spare!!! Fantastic performance by Ireland... giant killers extraordinaire, the big teams will now be quaking in their boots when they have to play Ireland!  Cheers, Dave |

It's early days, but I think New Zealand could have a good chance of winning the Cricket World Cup. They might be worth an each way bet.  Richard  |

Hello Libby and Ross!  New Zealand won by 8 wickets with 37 overs to spare. To put it simply, the Kiwis made an ass of England and gave us the boot in Wellington!   Richard  |

Oh, thanks, Richard. That clears it all up! Mostly. LOL I still have no idea what an over or even a wicket is. But don't trouble yourself. I only care about whether or not NZ wins. Details will go right over my head.  |

The rules of cricket are simple Libby.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game
