England have managed to beat Ireland. I say "managed" because it was a less than convincing performance. All credit to Ireland who did well to get to the Super 8's against the odds, but England should have been able to see them off with ease. Instead Ireland managed to get 7 english wickets and only a resilient innings by Collingwood stopped a complete collapse. Ireland were set 267 to win thanks to the 90 by Colly. That should have been safe, but for moments anyone watching could have been forgiven for doubting. It took 49 overs to get Ireland all out, on form the England bowlers should have done it in 35 at most. It is going to take a lot to turn this around.
