Yeah I've heard that one alright mate. Not exactly new to it, I watch most of Ireland's games and the Ashes and World Cups, but obviously not as up to speed as most on here.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2011
- Thread starter The Taurean
- Start date
Not sure which result is best for Bangladesh in this game. Not that it'll matter because there's no fecking way we'll beat both South Africa and England.
When he finds his rhythm he's excellent, but when he's out of sorts he can be quite pedestrain. The problem with his being that tall and gangly is that he can get his run-up and action completely wrong during some spells. On his bad days his front leg buckles, his arms action loses its fluidity and it costs him a good 10-15kph in pace.

It's got to be time to bring on Dockerell. He looks a cracking young player.
England have unearthed a future test match spinner.

The commentators speak of talk amongst England circles about getting him into their set-up. Doesn't sound good for Ireland at all.
It's a shame. If Morgan had stayed, Ireland really would be a really good ODI side.
Why's Devon Smith opening for the Windies? Where's Lendl Simmons?
Well done.
Pollard's the key wicket now.

Porterfield is a cracking captain.
He got the Dockrell call wrong. Brought him on too late. Dockrell won't be bowling his 10 overs out now.
This powerplay has been cnuting expensive.
Typically smart cricket from the West Indies.
Captain thicko!

Sammy wouldn't be in this side if he wasn't captain.
Kevin O'Brien to take a five for and a century. Third man in ODI history.
Argh, had Windies to get under 272.5. They finish on 275 all out last ball.
Dropping Pollard on 19 was fecking costly.

Good start this, despite the wicket. 35-1 off 5. Windies were 11-0 in comparison.
very good start by Ireland should be a good game, also looks like some good stumping work from Bangladesh.
Farcical from Prior. Especially considering he too is a wicket keeper.
Ireland have a good chance at winning this.
Got to give credit to the Banglaesh keeper credit as well, good work
Spot on i think we have a good game on our hands their
Might not be the worst news in the world there that wicket for Porterfield, he was stuck in a rut. Come on Niall.
sammy has bowled 3 maidens i think and then got then got a wicket just conceeding one run. great figures so far 4.0 3 1 1
not sure why they took off roach
Razzak has always been a decent bowler imo, bowls intelligently. Bangladesh would do well to save some of his overs for the end.
really bowling well the bangladesh spinners keeping things tight and bowls a maiden
number 2 for bangladesh, strauss gone and the spinners are turning it on
I hate Sammy.
has he got another one?
No, he's just bowling ridiculously well. Slapped for his first four there mind. 64/2 after 16.
really hard to call that game
Anyone else utterly confused what game to watch?
both games looking very good
bell the next one to go for England, boy all of Englands games have been fun to watch
morgan out to bat, with him the squad england look a lot better side
Gah, Niall O'Brien gets his stumps clattered a ball after surrviving an LBW appeal. 86/3 now off 21. Need Ed Joyce to pull out a century I think. Gary Wilson in now, and he's muck. Will be surprised if he gets double figures.
benn strikes o'brien gone
morgan turning it on
Finally someones worked out what to do with the long thin wooden thing...c'mon Morgan!
bangladesh need morgan out quickly.
England need Morgan to stay in for a long time!
Two poxy edged fours for Wilson, three off seventeen balls besides. Wouldn't mind if he got out soon enough and Kevin O'Brien came in, need to up the run rate and fast.
120-3 off 28.
120-3 off 28.
145-3 off 33. Need nearly 8 an over from here.
I hope I'm not jinxing Ireland but irrespective of the result today, Ireland has looked bloody impressive in this tournament esp their batting. Pretty much all of their batsmen have looked very calm and intelligent while in bowling, that Dockerell(sp?) had looked very impressive. Their fielding is much better than most of the sub-continental teams though.
