Bring on West Indies - Irish skipper

Ireland captain Trent Johnston set his sights on collecting the West Indies' scalp after his boys dumped mighty Pakistan from the ICC Cricket World Cup yesterday.

Ireland, playing in its first ICC Cricket World Cup, defeated the 1992 world champion and one of the game's superpowers, by seven wickets at Sabina Park in one the greatest sensations in the history of the sport.

"We'll take on the West Indies with confidence and give a good performance," said Australia-born Johnston, who hit a huge six to seal the win in the 43rd over as his side chased down 133 and then went to hospital for treatment to an injured shoulder. "We will give it 100 percent and be very competitive."

Steady on boys. We would love to have you in Guyana but we're not going to lay down.
Actually, scratch that...we might get over confident and collapse !?!
