Well played Ireland...

...and in particular Kevin O'Brien!

And badly bowled England! When will they learn to bowl straight? Surely it's basic not to give the batsman room to free his arms and swing the bat. Sack the bowling coach!

I find it hard to believe that David Saker would be telling the bowlers to give the batsmen room to free their arms! Or bowl 7 wides!

Just as worrying, or possibly more so, is the dropped catches.

Strauss is fantastic but his a flaw seems to be that he's conservative tactically which means that the likes of Anderson and Broad get bowled out even when they have very poor days, rather than reacting to that and using more of Collingwood and trying others like Trott or Pietersen.

I still expect England to qualify for the QFs...
