West Indies 25 All Out vs Ireland 1969

Mention Ireland and the West Indies, and everyone immediately talks about Sion Mills and 1969. People still find it incredible that the Windies were rolled over for just 25 -- it has become the stuff of folklore and legend -- Ireland's equivalent of England winning the World Cup in 1966.

However it tends to be forgotten that Ireland have also beaten them on two other occasions, way back in 1928, but more recently in 2004, when the Irish chased down 292 to win by 6 wickets, with 19 balls to spare.

The spectators seem very muted at such a amazing innings. If that happened now there would be pitch invasions. Great video.
