another two wickets would be beautiful

Anyone getting too confident should check the scorecard from the SA game earlier today

The spin docktor is taking the piss here

Great stuff this from Dockrell.

Listening on 5live. Dont profess to know all about cricket, but the Indies seem to be experiencing a major drop in confidence since Gayle got dismissed. Not that I'm complaining.

Royale with Cheese

WHAT? I was informed this would be on tomorrow night. Stupid bloody time difference. Oh well, haven't missed too much. If windies recover from here on you can blame me.

9de5q7tsr8u2im

jaysus how the hell did he drop that catch would of been game over

Richard Hillman

Fabulous stuff so far. One more wicket and we are in business.

TBH, looking at the schedule, I first thought it was tomorrow night as well.

I think I just checked the fixtures via google. They gave the Irish start time but left the date as Feb 16

Another good over from Dockrell. He's not getting a huge amount out of the pitch but his line is still causing them problems.

the groutch

6th wicket badly needed soon

KevIRL

Excellent figures from mcbrine

ninebeanrows

Windies back favourites and a 250 score is looking more likely....

ninebeanrows

Another wicket soon would be very welcome

corny

Batsmen getting comfortable.

the groutch

cheap boundaries starting to creep in

me89

Need to get Sammy out

Pudsy33

We really need a breakthrough

KevIRL

Getting a little bit sloppy now with the ball

Rjd2

Been here before, we just can't finish it off in the last 15 overs.

Game over.

Borders no.2

Just seeing on betting advert on cricinfo Ireland now out to 5/2.

Ah come on, that's very negative. Anything under 250 is get-able.

the groutch

yep, the chance was there to kill it off early, that's the difference between Ireland and the big teams.

Agreed but if you think we restrict to them with these 2 in and Russell to come, you are very optimistic.

corny

The attempted bouncers and wide balls are killing us. The more they punish us the more ragged the bowling gets.

The Windies pair are batting well though.

Cricket fan

It is very irritating this though, We seem unable to put teams away.

SA and the WI in 2011 gor away from us too IIRC, it seems WI will post 260 or so now.

Hoping the batsmen do the job though

9de5q7tsr8u2im

If West indies get over 250 its game over

Pudsy33

My optimism is swiftly draining from me

me89

looks like 270+ is on now

Cricket fan

Pathetic this. Every single time we have a golden opportunity we throw it away. Garbage death bowling. Sorry for being negative but i have seen this far too many times.

260 looks a conservative total now

KevIRL

Ah Sorenson!

KevIRL

And gone

Pudsy33

One more now please

corny

Who would have thought it. A short ball got him out.

We've been haemorrhaging runs from those deliveries from Mooney.

9de5q7tsr8u2im

Yeah why the hell we bowling short balls?

Cricket fan

Full toss and 6

*facepalm*

Gonna need Stirlo big time today methinks.

KevIRL

Gonna need a ton from someone.

KevIRL

Ian bishop hero

9de5q7tsr8u2im

Whos our best batsmen?

Joyce or Porterfield are the most skillful I'd argue, with Stirling and Kevin O'Brien capable of scoring fast.

me89

Horrible bowling from Kev

Cricket fan

So disheartening this.

9de5q7tsr8u2im

Kev is pure dung is he tik or what god almighty will he ever stop bowling short or wide god almighty

Hate to say I told ya so .

Don't understand the crazy pessimistic reactions on here tbh. This was always on the cards with our bowling. One good innings though on a small ground with a good pitch and we arent out of this

nosietoes

Here's hoping there will be good news when I wake up. That 2nd half was painful

sgthighway

Newbie here. When will the interval be over??
