Ireland batsman Ed Joyce got the luckiest of breaks today during the World Cup Pool B match against United Arab Emirates at the Gabba in Brisbane. Joyce survived getting bowled by Amjad Javed in the 11th over after the ball swung in late and beat the batsman before hitting the off stump. However, the off-bail jumped and then resettled in the groove as the LED lights flashed.
