[quote]Kevin O'Brien smashed his way into record books with the fastest ever century in a World Cup match off 50 balls as Ireland pulled off the biggest upset beating England by three wickets in a group B encounter of the World Cup here on Wednesday.

It also turned out to be the highest successful run-chase ever in the history of the tournament with the previous best being 313 by Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe at New Plymouth in 1992.[/quote] SOURCES: [url="http://cricketnext.in.com/news/sensational-ireland-topple-england/54915-13.html"]0[/url] [url="http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Ireland-Beat-England-At-ICC-Cricket-World-Cup-After-Highest-Run-Chase-In-Tournaments-History/Article/201103115944297?lpos=World_News_First_World_News_Article_Teaser_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15944297_Ireland_Beat_England_At_ICC_Cricket_World_Cup_After_Highest_Run_Chase_In_Tournaments_History"]1[/url] [url="http://www.indianexpress.com/news/fireland/757009/"]2[/url] [url="http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/article1503330.ece?homepage=true"]3[/url] [url="http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/8350163-biggest-run-chase-in-the-history-of-cricket-world-cup"]4[/url]

You know, I"ve been reading English all my life, and I've always been pretty good at it, too.

I read the original post - or let's say I looked at it. I can pronounce each word, I can identify each word's part of speech, and I can even diagram both sentences. But I still can't tell you what the OP [i]means.[/i]

I can relate. Cricket is a massive waste of time, in my view. Any sport that takes so long you have to have a lunch break during a match is not for me.

I do like cricket, but with it being pay per view here in the US, and the matches taking place when I'm sleeping, I havnt followed the world cup much.

Youtube streamed/archived IPL matches last year, watched few of those. that was neat
