Irish Cricket 2024

Stirling gone, another poor shot… just hung the bat towards the ball, not enough conviction.

still, did we envision that Ireland would do it the easy way ?

The time to panic will be if the text on the screen changes from the nimber of runs we need to win to the number of wickets they need to win.

28 needed 6 wickets remaining, ok, I’m thinking we have this… we have to,

Gwan Ireland, cracking win!

Job done, a convincing enough win for Ireland…. Well done to them….

Great stuff and hats off to Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan too. Played a good partnership for this format.

A test win.

Great stuff, better team and well deserved, nice to see it.

Fantastic win, Highest batting score from any batsman was Balbirnies 58*, says a lot. A great all round performance from Ireland. 5/1 outsiders before the start of play on day 1.

Contrary to some views on here I think he's played a v good capts role this game even outside this batting performance. Probably after tea yesterday the only issue along with some dubious reviewing on day 1.

I’d be surprised. Zimbabwe are not due over this side of the world….

if there is a test there would also have to be ODIs / T20’s to justify it. No way will Zimbabwe come all that way just for a 4 day test.

Credit where credit is due. he steadied the ship and brought it home.

Economical and impressive from ireland to start with...

That said be nice to make an impression on the wickets column a fifth of the inniings complete and as I type a gimmie of a chance put down.. lads ! Ffs how was that nor taken 😬

The more replays the worse it looks.. Campher too.... jeez

Finally a wicket from Woerkom....

Need any couple of quick ones...

Our bowlers have posed little threat... one dropped catch and an optimistic lbw shout...

31 overs before the first wicket..

Slow enough rate for Afghanistan.. Will they get 300?

Awful start from Dockrell, we'd put the lid on the run rate slightly then he goes for 16 from his first.

Van Woerkom picks up Omarzi, maybe too little too late, let's see if we fetch couple more... limit the total.

Gurbaz out!

Why you'd wonder put Dockrell on when he's hardly bowled in anger for us in ages.

Two quick wickets now, your man Gurbaz don't look too happy with being bowled. Bit more grace wouldn't harm him, since he got a big let off.

Who are the lads in plain dress in the stands they keep showing? Ayatollahs / Royalty/ Taliban?

Now a 4th

Sure, there's more than a few bob proposed to be spent on places like Casement Park. How about a bit of support for an All Ireland team?

Tough day for Mark Adair, gone for 79 runs and no wicket
