What an amazing first match for Ireland in the Cricket World Cup in Jamaica.

Ireland: 221 for 9
Zimbabwe (an international Test side) 221 all out

Ties just don't happen that often in One Day International Cricket. The logistics of it are sufficently mad for it to have happened only (I think) twice before. Ireland come away with a point, even though the 2,000 Irish fans out there have rightly treated it as a win.

The atmosphere came across on the radio - there was virtually a good humoured riot going on - and yet again, you can't beat the Irish!
