"This is IRELAND, not Australia or South Africa".

Perhaps the commentators shouldn't be making such remarks considering we're paying for the privaledge.

Chucky the tree

over 2 a ball. left the charge too late.

Are you getting Botham etc? He's very biased.

AdMMM

Ya, that was Botham.

197-7.

At least we'll hit 200

I can understand his point though. If this was SA or Australia England were playing against and bowling like they are, they'd be knocked all over the place

New target is 220

Ghost Train

but still good performance

KevIRL

200 brought up with a lovely 4

203-7

zuutroy

200 up, another very good performance by Ireland to put up 200 against a top team IMO

Is that under the Duckworth-Lewis-KevIRL method?:D

is_that_so

Yeah great to see that. It can only be good for us to play all these top teams. Such a pity that Rankin couldn't play on earlier.

yep!

Wicket! White gone for 38

209-8

timmywex

come on, get up near them at least, make it respectful....

AdMMM

We'll be doing well to get there.

Anything over 220 will be more than respectful

KevIRL

210-8 (46ovs)

would be nice to bat out the 50 overs

I'd rather see them go down giving it a good chase.

KevIRL

210-9

Langford Smith gone for 1

strassenwolf

Can you use a runner at this level?

KevIRL

operation keep Kyle on strike

AdMMM

Sounded out to me!

KevIRL

215-9 (47ovs)

zuutroy

Freddie's stopped the bleeding somewhat!

KevIRL

218-9 (48ovs)

AdMMM

Oooof. I could see that wicket coming from the moment he threw it!

Fantastic effort by Ireland though!

zuutroy

Sin E!.....ah well...

gbh

Can hold their heads up after this...almost a moral victory if not an actual one.

KevIRL

all done 218 all out (48.1ovs)

The lads didnt disrgeace themselves. They stayed competitive throughout.

KevIRL

England win by 48 runs.

Could have been oh so different, if a)we had finished our bowling better and/or b)Kept our nerves at the start of our batting

zuutroy

Last 10 overs killed us. Do you think we can win any matches in the super-8?
