ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Ireland vs New Zealand
Super 8, Match 12, NZ vs IRL: New Zealand beat Ireland by 129 runs
Apr 09, 2007
Brothers Niall and Kevin O'Brien shared a 75-run stand but Ireland lost to New Zealand by 129 runs as the Black Caps kept up their 100% winning record.
Hamish Marshall's throw did for Kevin, who had hit three huge sixes in his 47.
But when Niall fell to Jeetan Patel, it sparked a late-order collapse as the Irish lost their last six wickets for just nine runs.
Reported Earlier: Peter Fulton fell short of a second ODI ton as New Zealand stuttered in a rain-interrupted game with Ireland, making 263-8 off their 50 overs.
Fulton underpinned the innings but was trapped lbw by Kyle McCallan for 83.
But a late assault by Brendon McCullum (47) and James Franklin (34 not out) boosted the Black Caps' score.
Dave Langford-Smith (2-41) was impressive with the ball for Ireland, while McCallan and Andrew White also picked up two wickets apiece.
New Zealand team: P G Fulton, S P Fleming, H J H Marshall, S B Styris, C D McMillan, J D P Oram, B B McCullum, D L Vettori, J E C Franklin, S E Bond, J S Patel
Ireland team: J P Bray, W T S Porterfield, E J G Morgan, N J O'Brien, A R White, P G Gillespie, K J O'Brien, D T Johnston, W K McCallan, D Langford-Smith, W B Rankin

Super 8, Match 12, NZ vs IRL: Bracewell wary of Irish scrappers
Apr 09, 2007
New Zealand coach John Bracewell is wary of the challenge of World Cup debutants Ireland on Monday because they are a mirror image of his own team.
Ireland, who progressed to the Super Eights after a shock win over 1992 champions Pakistan in the group stage, are expected to finish last in the second-stage round robin as they have 12 amateurs in their 15-man squad.
Bracewell`s observations of Ireland came after their coach Adrian Birrell worked with him while Bracewell was employed at English county team Gloucestershire, then the leading one-day team in England.
New Zealand team (from): S Fleming (capt), P Fulton, H Marshall, R Taylor, S Styris, C McMillan, J Oram, B McCullum (wkt), D Vettori, S Bond, J Franklin, M Gillespie, J Patel, M Mason, C Martin.
Ireland team (from): T Johnston (capt), J Bray, W Porterfield, E Morgan, N O'Brien (wkt), A Botha, K O'Brien, A White, K McCallan, D Langford-Smith, B Rankin, P Mooney, J Mooney, P Gillespie, K Carroll.
