Stirling gone early.

Here's a good game to play.

Who will lose a wicket first? England in the Test Match or us.

KevIRL · 31-08-2018 11:10am

22/1 after 6

KevIRL · 31-08-2018 11:25am

Porterfield gone 34/2

Every time I get a notification I think, not another wicket down already

Nob gone. 38/3

Standard 38-3 now. NOB gone LBW

lambayire · 31-08-2018 11:34am

39-4

riffmongous · 31-08-2018 11:35am

Shocking stuff again

KevIRL · 31-08-2018 11:56am

Five now

riffmongous · 31-08-2018 12:01pm

111/8

BarryD2 · 31-08-2018 1:07pm

5 x lbw - I'm sure there's plenty of all out lbw, but unusual too.

KevIRL · 31-08-2018 1:28pm

124 all out

KevIRL · 31-08-2018 2:08pm

A wicket in the first over but 43/1 now

BarryD2 · 31-08-2018 2:12pm

A thrashing seems on the cards. I hear the wickets up there have been on the slow side. Has that played into the Afghan hands?

KevIRL · 31-08-2018 2:19pm

53/2 after 10.3

KevIRL · 31-08-2018 2:29pm

The igmony of a lunch break during the middle of an innings of an ODI

riffmongous · 12-10-2018 4:20pm

Niall O'Brien retired today. A great servant of Irish cricket, he was pivotal in our most important victory ever back in 2007 against Pakistan

His innings put us on the course to Test Match status. Thank you Niall for all your efforts for Ireland.

lambayire · 15-10-2018 10:23am

Forgotten how many awful decisions were given and not given in that innings.

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 21-12-2018 1:43pm

Anyone apply for the ballot for the Lord's test?

HonalD · 13-01-2019 8:18am

Very dissapointing to hear Alan Border on commentary yesterday (Aus v India). He showed his ignorance by querying whether Ireland had official ODI status (not even Test status) and claimed that playing 4 day test match against England "can't be right".

At least Adam Gilchrist stepped in to say that England won't last longer than 4 days against us.

I applied but my application seems to have disappeared, no record of it on my lord's account. There's a general sale starting February 4th so will just wait for that now.

KevIRL · 09-02-2019 10:09am

Ireland comprehensively beaten by an Oman development XI in a T20 warm up match today. That's a new low

KevIRL · 10-02-2019 1:01pm

Beaten again although much closer this time. Stirling with 78

lambayire · 13-02-2019 2:03pm

15 run win against Oman today.

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 20-03-2019 9:24pm

applied for and received Day 3 Lords tickets.

I suppose there's a fair chance that play will still be in progress by Day 3! Not guaranteed though.

After we've skittled all 20 of their wickets on our way to an innings victory

Squatter · 21-04-2019 12:23pm

Interesting to read that Warren Deutrom did a John Delaney last year!

Although in his case, he informed Sports Ireland.

but not the board... are these boards getting the run around or they asleep at the wheel?

Royale with Cheese · 29-04-2019 2:28pm

Anyone going to any of the upcoming ODIs? I've tickets for the Windies on Sunday. Would have preferred to go to the following weekend as that's in Malahide as opposed to Clontarf but I couldn't make that one. The IPL has robbed us of seeing any of the big players, disappointing but completely expected.

I see the England game on Friday is €50 in. There is just not the interest in cricket here to be charging that much, on a weekday. Maybe they're thinking that given people would need to take a day off work to go it, anyone who was actually planning on attending wouldn't be put off by the higher price.

I'm going on Friday. I agree the price is excessive - and apparently sales are not great either. It's GA seating too, which tells you a fair bit about the expected crowd size.

MrKingsley · 30-04-2019 4:03pm

I’ll be going Sunday with the brother and sister.

I think 50€ is scandalous for Friday to be honest. Also assuming that it will be an England c/d team considering the lads who will be rested/at the IPL

Richard Hillman · 30-04-2019 6:10pm

Gonna give this one a miss. €50 and A bit of weather around too.

deise300 · 01-05-2019 12:00pm

Unfortunately won't be able to make the game on Friday due to work, but will be there in Clontarf on Sunday. How do people see the England game going?

Likely team?

Porterfield
Stirling
Balbirnie
McCollum
KOB
Wilson
Dockrell
Thompson/McBrine
McCarthy
Murtagh
Rankin

Toss delayed due to soggy outfield

Beasty · 03-05-2019 11:01am

And of course I've had to buy a hat due to the fact the sun is shining....

Beasty · 03-05-2019 11:11am

Next inspection 11.45

Now where's the sunblock?

Royale with Cheese · 03-05-2019 11:12am

What's the crowd like?

Beasty · 03-05-2019 11:15am

Well at least I can look back fondly on my last visit here. The day on which Ireland were due to commence their first ever Test match and the free umbrella handed out by PaddyPower....

Stands are sparse at present but a lot are lingering around the various concessions. Others may be keeping their eyes on the updates. Probably as many England fans as Irish ones mingling around at present but that might change once we get a start time

Beasty · 03-05-2019 11:23am

Just checking Accuweather. 53% chance of rain between 12 and 1 (but drops to 52% between 1 and 2!)

Beasty · 03-05-2019 11:47am

12.45 start time....

....allegedly

Beasty · 03-05-2019 11:50am

And now they are putting nets up

England guys have come out to have a kickabout. Maybe they are goal nets
