It has happened once that doesnt mean it will happen everytime. har roz diwali nahi hoti. ireland is not that capable of being consistent with their performance. this same team folded for 170 vs bangladesh and chased 328 vs england. m sure if they bat first vs india, they wont even cross 200. india will defeat ireland easily. the only thing is that we shd not take ireland lightly and play with full strength side... and play ashwin instead of chawla vs Ireland. we can play chawla against SA.
cricket is a glorious game of uncertainnity.and this is world cup.india is a minow in 1983 like irland. still as a proud indian we will win but there is a tension.
I think spin bowling should be the trick to control Irish batsmen. Our medium pacers may not impress upon them. It is high time Yuvraj and Raina start delivering. That is the weak link.

Correctly said, it was a fluke victory against England, they cannot play quality spin.
India has the worst bowling amongst all teams and this team is rated as the favorites!! Go Ireland go.. Cause the next upset and show these IPL millionaires their place..

Indias pace attack of Munaf and Zaheer is too weak and toothless
With this India is fit case of upset and can be out in Quarter final
They can upset India.. Our No:4 is not very strong. So is our 4th,5th and 6th bowlers.. We cant go past Quarter final with a weak bowling unit and top heavy batting unit.
india have to chase if they have to win... becuz ireland can show some gr8 spirited performance with bat while chasing with pitch assistance for second batting...

if toss go in favor of India, then India will make 450 against Ireland & win the match with 100 runs......

suddenly meanows are being treated like heroes. Their one time heroics cannot be matched with class. Surely India has weak attack but that is enough for Ireland. Their test will start in quarter finals.

Just imagine we are shuffling our combinations against team like Ireland. What will happen when the real test starts. we must play 5 bowlers.
