    Reaction after Ireland beat West Indies by four wickets

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Ireland captain William Porterfield

    "It was obviously a good performance. We've done it a few times now. I think someone said there have been five 300 chases and we've won three of them. So it's obviously a nice stat(istic), and it's a good way to kick off a tournament with the two points.

    Q. Would you call this an upset or are you at the stage where you don't look at beating West Indies as an upset?

    A: "No, personally I actually hate the term 'upsets,' anything from minnows to associates. I don't see why a team has to be an associate and a team has to be a full member. It's like sure you're ranked or whatever. It's not like that in any other sport, so I don't see why it has to be like that in ours. I don't see it as an upset. We prepared to come into this game to win. We're going to prepare to go into the UAE game to win, South Africa after that and so on. It's where we're at. We're looking to pick up two points in every game, and as long as we're doing the right things and building up to that, then we're happy."
