Innocent Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 [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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sport that takes so long you have to have a lunch break during a match is not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
