Missed opportunity... don't see a one-wicket win happening.
Squeaky bum time now Ranger....but keep at yer work as well and drive straight !!
(If at all possible)!!!
Three down... Going to be tight.
Welcome back Lurgan Park Ranger.
Hope that flat top screen your watching is tied on to the gang mower as you are cutting the grass on the Lurgan Park cricket pitch !
Yes, brilliant effort by Ireland so far ...but we need to keep calm, play each ball on merit and take nothing for granted....the Bangers will know how to use the ball on their home patch.
Come on Ireland !!!!!!!!
Great start... but its not all done and dusted yet. Fingers crossed.
And it's music to my ears !
3rd umpire technology done it's job there!
Great fielding by Joyce...Iqbal gone...Old Botham almost choked on his prawn sandwich !!! Great entertainment indeed....come on Ireland !!!
And its getting better!
No hot-spot in World Cup!
Surely if hot-spot is available, it should be made available for the premier tournament in world cricket? Did Sarwan lose out today beccause he was given out LBW from an inside edge?
This is poor from the ICC. Even if the technology is Military, surely the ICC were aware of this and should have made arrangements for the export license to be forth-coming?
M. Pakks ??
Yes I know Old Vic very well.. he's a dummy who I keep locked up in a suitcase in my attic.
I had to incarserate him for good as he talks to much nonsense about cricket, although lately I've been hearing strange noises in the wee small hours of the night.
I think he wants out to see the Ireland match....either that or I'll have to put a mouse trap up there !!!
I left out an important word last time... Do you know Vic Johns?
C. Boomer
Oh I agree with you alright, I'm just pointing out that while there was much to laugh at about England's performance, there were still some good displays.
Rather than focus on England's ineptitude though...great display from the Netherlands!!
(By any chance do you Vic Johns?)
Re: M. Parks V.C.C.
Don't think anyone was laughing at the English Captain individually, but the team's over-all bowling (Swann excepted) performance & the fielding was commical to say the least.
That man Pieterson is such a showman and because of the attention he draws onto himself, he always seems susceptable to the 'goofs & howlers' when he's playing and he made plenty of them yesterday !(As did plenty of his colleagues ofcourse.)
Anyways, I can't see England lifting the Cup, they're a much improved Test playing team, but as far as 50 over cricket goes they'll be found wanting by the other 'bigger-guns' in this tournament.
Even Ireland may have a big say on how far England get-on in the tournament and here's hoping they can even knock them out of qualifying from ther group..... Now that would be fun !!
I agree that there was much, much wrong with the England performance, and much right about that of the Dutch. But laughing at Strauss and co? I thought Strauss's batting was exceptional and was what allowed England to win the game. Seems to struggle with the captaincy in ODI, strange when he excels at the same role in Tests.
still laughing at the England performance - especially in the field!! Like watching an under-11 practice. The ability to count to 4? doh!! And why was Anderson allowed to continue to bowl after 2 warnings? sorry guys but Strauss & co really do give me so much ammo!! Real shot in the arm for the so-called "minnows" of the tournament. Ireland just need to do the bizz on Friday and a bit more respect might be forthcoming for the associate nations
The irony is lost on you Jim !
