Nice from Deano there; talking about drink cards for the bloke from the UAE...

From a Kiwi & Aust perspective, I suppose we should be wanting Ireland to get home here, hence increasing their chances of qualifying 3rd or 4th in Pool B. But it is hard not to want the UAE to get their first WC win.

So heartbreaking for the bowler. I've seen the bails remain intact a couple of times before, but never that flush. That was crazy.

Feel bad for the bowler. The rule requiring bails to fall off to be given out is a bit silly itbt.

Flem asked Deano if there should be a prize for bowling the fastest ball of the game, Deano said maybe some drink cards...
Wouldn't be surprised if several members of the UAE squad do drink tbh. I grew up there and know lots of muslims who consume alcohol. They're mostly expats; they aren't extremist jihadists or anything.

Fun Fact: In the UAE, you need a license to own alcohol, and another one to consume it.

if the ICC are gonna push on with zing bails they'll have to be clarification. I know there's been some run-outs given out before the bails have clearly been broken because they've lightened up

Such a crucial wicket too, I mean Joyce at this stage making it 40/2 would put the UAE well & truly on top.
