| England edged into the Super Eight phase of the ICC World Twenty20 after their match with Ireland ended in a no result because of rain in Guyana.
They were restricted to 120-8 with only nine fours and a six, and were indebted to Irish-born Eoin Morgan, who made a composed 45, falling in the final over.
Ireland were 14-1 from three-and-a-half overs in two spells as rain intervened.
Five overs were needed to constitute a match but rain continued and Ireland were eliminated in cruel fashion.

What I do question is, the wisdom of choosing Guyana's rainy season for the Twenty20 tournament.. how absolutely daft is that? The Duckworth-Lewis Method is going into overtime... bonkers, that's what it is totally bonkers! |

| Ailletoo,
I doubt you've ever been to a real cricket match... but you try standing in total concentration with a piece of wood trying to defend yourself against fast bowling from someone trying to take your head off and you'll know what a sport really is...
You obviously need more than the attention span of gnat to appreciate the finer nuances of the game, cake in the commentary box et al.
