So this Friday sees Ireland take on England in the Cricket World Cup. After a shocking performance which led to a humbling defeat to the Windies in the last of Ireland's group games, we really are looking for a bounce-back performance against Engerland to restore our pride.

Coverage starts at 3p.m. on Friday on Rupert Murdoch's favourite cash-cow, a wonderful opportunity to settle into a bar stool of a Friday evening, with Irish Heineken Cup action to come later that evening aswell. Colm, I hope you have a green shirt of some description at the ready?

I thought I'd post today to give everyone time to learn off the chant the Irish fans will be using for the game against England in light of Freddie Flintoff's recent comical foray into the ocean:


Way, hay up she rises,
Way, hay, up she rises,
Way, hay, up she rises,
Earlye in the morning!

What will we do with the drunken sailor?
What will we do with the drunken sailor?
What will we do with the drunken sailor?
Earlye in the morning?

Put him in the scuppers with the hose pipe on him

Hoist him aboard with a running bowline

Put him in the brig until he's sober.

Make him turn to at shining bright work.
