Just over halfway now - I haven't seen much of Ireland at all, but I presume that given they recovered from 5/90 the other day to post 220, that their lower order isn't exactly a pack of cards...
The other O'Brien can definitely bat, and Johnston's a huge hitter, something like the Afridi of the team. Not sure about the others, but I think they bat pretty deep.

****ing jobbed.

One of the worst decisions Ive ever seen, and as a bowler myself, I cant call appealing for that anything short of cheating

The more replays TV show, the more dire that decision looks ... anyhow, it's done and dusted and Ireland need to avid losing another wicket now.



who's guilty?

Sounds like a dire appeal. Can't have been as that one Strauss got in the Ashes where he middled it onto his pad, and got out LBW.

Ive been staying off CWeb today as I thought talking about the game would jinx the Micks but that desision has brought me on.

Short of England winning the WC, Ireland winning this game would give me the greatest pleasure, especially given my dislike of Pakistani cricket

Could that have been an LBW? It was more LBW than it was bat... only six inches out as opposed to ten...

Same, if a decision is that dire, it's cheating by appealing for it tbh.

Nah, this one wasnt even close to out even on first viewing. Should have been impossible to appeal for and even less likely to be given. Never ever looked anything but a shocker.

Ireland must be well ahead, surely? 80/4 needing 52, ahead of the NRR...

Bet Kent are really chuffed they released Niall O'Brien, too. Better bat than Geraint, by the looks of things.
