Tomorrow’s headlines: Collingwood and Shah bowl England to victory.

In the Sun they may even say Wicketory!

England one-day captain, one day player, Paul Collingwood had an Owais up his sleeve – an Owais Shah. The game started off as a one-dayer, but to make it competitive there was rain, and Ireland chased a gettable 116 in 20.

Ireland had the game, but then the game had them. That’s when Owais Shah came on to bowl, and boy did he bowl – 2 overs, 2 runs, 2 wickets. If he could, he would have bowled 2 maidens.

Shah’s last over went for 14, but the Irish needed 2 more for a tie. Think they also needed some whiskey.

I did tweet the following as encouragement but lone ranger Trent Johnston wasn’t carrying his blackberry: ‘Come on Ireland. Think you are playing Pakistan.’

Woolmer stirred.
