While all eyes may have been on Ireland's opening clash with Sri Lanka in Colombo, two Irishmen were making a name for themselves on the world stage in India.

Andrew Leonard and Roly Black were the two men in question, with 'Lenny' impressing with his depth of knowledge and passion of Nepalese cricket on commentary duty, while Roly was one of the officials for the game between England and Nepal.

The duo and the fervent crowd were treated to a real thriller that went all the way to the last ball, with England prevailing - just - by four runs thanks to Sam Curran.

There was widespread praise for Andrew, with former England Test captain Michael Vaughan just one of many who paid tribute to him - his tweet gaining 124,000 views and over 5000 likes.

It's been a dream come true for the affable Dubliner to be commentating at a World Cup, and it was almost a fairytale ending for him and the legion of Nepalese fans.
