Andy - Excuse the NI 'spake' - "Like you would know anything about playing international cricket for Ireland or any other team"............!
Andy... tried that too, but the radio commentary tends to be a few seconds ahead of the T.V. satilite signal, hence you know what happens before seeing it on the screen.
Although Boycott is refreshing to listen too...speaks his mind and not afraid to over step the 'comfort zone', if he feels it's necessary and seems to always speak well in support of Irish cricket.
Of the Sky commentators David (bumble) Loydd is easy on the ear and also speaks well of the Ireland team when they're playing and big Paul Allott also seems a very affable chap and a good anchor-man.
As for them other commentators, they don't appear to have many compliments for the Irish team, but maybe they'll change their opinions though after this Wednesday !! Cause........
....'It's die dog or else evacuate the license time'... as my great Uncle used to say..when the enforcement officer came knocking on his door !
was listening to radio 4LW while watching Sky with the sound down - much better than listening Nasser No Mates! (giving away a wee professional secret there!!). Mr. Boycott was referring to the up-coming fixture with Ireland and he was commenting on the amount of finance that the ICC had pumped into Bangladesh - he was contending that it was more than any other associate nation vis-a-vis Ireland. I couldn't possibly comment but that might be a question for the "blazers" to address.
England did not ???
And Ireland will ???
At least we agree on something Andy. Although a bigger scalp for ireland would be nice, as long as its not england. I think if england get past this mammoth score with a win, then people like you will sit up and take notice
10 out of 11 full-time? shows the width of the gap then
no humble pie required here. Yesterday's performance illustrates the gap between the part-time cricketers and full-time professionals. I doubt if even England would have failed to chase down 206. Shot selection was atrocious and the use of the "power play" was naive. Hopefully Ireland can at least regain some pride in the next matches.
10 of the 11 Ireland team yesterday are full-time professional cricketers...
So frustrating , loads of mistakes but thats the nature of an Irish pitch in Bangladesh. They did their best to help us with that wicket. More spinners please....
"Ireland just need to do the bizz on Friday " Just is a big word Andy. If I had said that, you would have been jumping on the anti england bandwagon and making a fool of yourself on this forum yet again lol. If Ireland can't beat the Bangladeshi's, I fear for the success of the current Ireland team at this tournament. The interest that was created by the win again Pakistan at the last one was fantastic but I struggle to see any big scalps for Ireland now.
Good effort by Ireland and plenty of twists and turns to reflect on. Not using the batting power play and over use of Rankin at the end might be two talking points for the skipper to explain but it was always going to be tough in their backyard. The boys did well so let's keep behind them as every game is a mountain to climb and any win at this level is going to be hard earned.
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.
