Andrew Balbarnie | Ireland skipper: Very disappointing. We played some really good cricket the other night and were looking forward to this fixture against the team we know really well. If it could have gone our way, we could have gone to Brisbane with a lot of hopes of going into the next round, can't do anything about the weather and we just have two more games to try and do our best to get to the semis. We didn't our back our performance after the West Indies game, we spoke a lot about it after the England game about backing up that performance and coming out here and playing some good cricket, we didn't get to show what we could do today unfortunately, but we get a crack at the defending champions in Brisbane. We will fly out tomorrow and get used to the conditions. It's like going to a different country the way the weather has been out there and we look forward having a bit of sun on our back. We will have a good session on Sunday and focus on what we can do to try and knock Australia off their perch. You never know what's gonna happen in this competition with the rain and stuff and NRR, essentially we gotta win games against two of the best teams in the world and if we can put our best feet forward and try to do that, who knows what can happen. Lot of coverage back home about the results and how big it was to do it at a special venue (win against England) and that's why you play the game - you play the game to get people buzzing back home for the sport and hopefully we can continue to do that.
