CWC Day 18 Thread - Super 8's Ireland V England

mikeruurds

Let's not be too hard on the boys bowling at the death. The old ball always travels. 10 an over in the last 5-10 overs is normal if wickets don't fall.

England are good at building an innings and then going mad in the last 10.

I'd say Ireland did fairly well stopping a 300+ score. At least now they have a target that is somewhat achievable.

Hey hey, lay off the capt. He brought us through the Pakistan game. Made a lot of good decisions today. Also he missed his top bowlers last 3 overs through injury.

Remember we are a team of very limited ability. Not world beaters

i know but bowling majority of balls full toss to world class batsmen like collingwood only invites him to smash it around

looking forward to our innings......can it be done???

Goodbye then!

Mike.

Run-outs so early in the innings are unforgivable.

Man i really hope we dont get embarassed here. 2 wickets down after 3 overs is not lookin good. Considerin we need a run rate of around 5.4 per over to win this could turn into a mauling.

How do we normally score runs? Steadily or would we expect a bit of a rush towards the end like England?

well the main thing now is to keep wickets while building up the total steadily. If we have enough wickets in hand late on, then we can have a hit.

62-2 (15ovs)

KevIRL

phew! close to another run out there

ninebeanrows

We're not doing too bad, still in there with a shouting chance of giving it a go in the last 8 overs
