    Product description

    What a day for Ireland, what a day for sport, what a day for cricket!

    England won the toss on a good wicket and elected to bat, and with half centuries from Kevin Peitersen, Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell posted a sizeable total of 327. This would be a big ask for most of the established cricket playing nations, let alone one of the tournaments minnows, and at 111 - 5 Ireland had a mountain to climb. Enter Kevin O’Brien...With the odds stacked against them, Ireland mounted the most almighty come back in World Cup cricket history to beat England by 3 wickets. With amazing efforts from every Irish player, including the fastest EVER World Cup century off only 50 balls by Kevin O’Brien, Ireland beat England for the first time in a One-Day International, and in doing so showed the rest of the world that Ireland can compete with, and beat, the best.

    With extended highlights of all the action and post-match interviews with the Irish players relive one of the most amazing games of cricket ever played.
