Ireland Cricket Season 2021

KevIRL

Both openers clean bowled by Josh Little leaving Zim 16/2 after 6 overs

Strumms

Another rain delay apparently, a pity as we have Zimbabwe floundering big time and in all sorts of trouble at 103/5 after 24.4 overs... this is a real opportunity to bowl the Zimbabwean team out or limit them to around 220... a total we should reach... fûckin weather though !

Strumms

121/9 great stuff....ireland in the box seat..

Zimbabwe all out for 131...

Ireland need 3.4 runs an over, from 38 overs... hopefully the weather plays ball. If it does we should win at a canter.

Keeping an eye on this as heard about it on sports news. Seems rain could intervene at any time, finally Paul Stirling gets a chance to hit the ball. That other lad seemed to be hogging it!

KevIRL

Need four more overs for a result to count. Zim really making a meal of the over rate

Strumms

Ireland are cantering. 83/1 after 16. The revised target is 118... 34 from 94.

Strumms

That’s a great result for us, we absolutely hammered a team 3 places higher then us in the ICC 50 over one day rankings..a 7 wicket victory with 58 deliveries remaining... should add more confidence and self belief.

bowling Zimbabwe out after 34 overs is a brilliant achievement but to take the win and chase the runs...brilliant

KevIRL

Decent chance we would have won the second ODI, that game and the Dutch one run loss really rankle. 15 potential super League points gone with those

Strumms

Yes, we need to get a real consistent nature and mindset...the Dutch have been improving but if we can comprehensively beat Zimbabwe, bowling them out after 34 overs and limiting 3 of their batsmen to double figure scores we need to be beating the likes of The Dutch.

Not to mention picking up a win against both England and SA. We could very well have been in the shake up for qualification even with a 3-0 series win over the Dutch.

Worth noting the bottom team in the Super League faces the prospect of relegation if they end up ranked lower than the tier 2 winner in the World cup qualifying tournament.

Women lose by 4 wickets to Zimbabwe in first odi. Men also lose warm up game.

KevIRL

Ireland going well against UAE in the first of three games ahead of the world cup. Restricted the target to 124, Campher taking 3 wickets. Openers still in at the half way mark of the Ireland innings 65/0.

KevIRL

Stirling out for 53, but this is done as a contest.

KevIRL

Got there with an over and 7 wickets to spare. KOB fell just short of his 50 on 46.

No_Hope_Club

Good T20i win for men.

Impressive odi win for women in Harare. They posted 286, their second highest total ever.

KevIRL

UAE setting a target of 165 for Ireland in the second ODI. The game free to stream on the freesports.tv player

KevIRL

Very poor with the bat. Have just limped past the 100 mark but for the loss of 9 wickets. Campher highest scoring with 22. Once again if the top 3 go early the rest follow on pretty quickly.

No_Hope_Club

15 man squad announced.

Shane Getkate, Graham Kennedy and Barry McCarthy lose out.

No_Hope_Club

Great start for women after losing toss.

Zim 92/5 after 25 overs

No_Hope_Club

Excellent win for women by 8 wickets.

KevIRL

Good opening partnership but a very familiar story of wickets going quickly once the openers out

Balbirnie really struggling with form only hit 15 from 19 balls coming in at 4 with no boundaries. Down on the deck right now with a bad looking injury too

No_Hope_Club

Limped to 134 total

KevIRL

Well beaten again and things not looking promising ahead of the t20 world cup. Two more warm up games next week before playing Netherlands on Monday week

We're definitely hit or miss at T20s. Consistency is the biggest problem imo.

Amy Hunter just turned 16.

She debuted at ODIs on 5th October.

Today she's scored a century for her country!

Fantastic performance.
