CWC: Friday Thread
What is this? Two competitive matches in one day? It sure is! We start off with a battle of the minnows that has most impressed during the tournament so far, Ireland and Netherlands. Later we see New Zealand taking on Sri Lanka, a game which is a sign of things to come as we get closer to the play offs. [...]

Cricket: Ireland vs Proteas
After their fantastic win over hosts India, the Proteas will be confident in their match against the Irish.
Rumour around is that AB de Villiers will be sitting out this match after hurting his thigh. Morne van Wyk will take the gloves. It will be interesting to see who comes into the team.

ITALY 22 – 21 FRANCE
WALES 19 – 13 IRELAND
ENGLAND 22 – 16 SCOTLAND [...]
Cricket Double Header
The Irish are in action again today as they face the mighty West Indies. In the second game we see England taking on Bangladesh in Bangladesh. Both matches should be rather interesting with Ireland and Bangladesh both showing they can beat the bigger teams.
CWC: England vs South Africa
This is South Africa’s first real test, and the opposition had just come off a shock loss to Ireland. Will the English bounce back to their brilliant best that we saw against India, or will this be a walk in the park for the Proteas?
The other game today sees India taking on Ireland, where I cannot see another upset on the cards, to be honest. My prediction is a quick game for the Indians.
CWC: Day 12
England take on Ireland today in a match that will either be over very quickly or we will see England make 350 runs and then skittle out the Irish. Either way, join us here for live updates.
