Also this thread is making me hungry. **** you guys, I'm already getting fat as it is.

Picking Zim to win this.

Huge call

 

[Zinzan]

So Ireland join another 7 sides who are officially better at the 'direct hit' when it matters than NZ

 

[Cabinet96]

He probably wouldn't accept playing for England - Ireland would probably beat them now.

Sad truth is with the 10 team world cup from after this playing for Ireland is only going to become less restrictive and worthwhile for a player of genuine quality.

Poor from the West Indies so far, a very bizarre approach to their innings with that being said they are only playing a minnow so 200+ should n more than enough, 180 may even do the trick.

Ireland has a better bowling attack than India tbf

Already had a sticky toffee pudding today. Obviously was about as stodgy as England batting in the middle overs.

 

[Pratters]

Just imagine how bad it would be for WI if Gayle hadn't scored that 36.

 

[Bleed_Blue]

Bugger off. The Irish top order is actually stronger than the West Indian one.

I thought this is a World Cup forum not a comedy thread, don't talk nonsense.

I don't feel 'like a room without a roof', Williams. I don't know what feeling that's supposed to represent. Incomplete? Vulnerable to the elements?

 

[Goughy]

I should not read this thread when I am half an hour behind on my PVR.

They will renege on this when Ireland or someone else win a game or two, just like last time.

Why don't you like Stirling or Porterfield's batting, oye?

Surely Ireland have a genuine chance of making the 10 teams by knocking either Bdesh or Zim out of the Qualifier?

TBH, another change of format wouldn't surprise me.

Not when you consider India's bowling always seems to lift in WC games, which was again evident yesterday.

 

[Bleed_Blue]

No they don't! They have a few medium pacers and spinners that's it nothing more than journeyman county bowlers! Our strength is our batting but we are excellent at bowling in ODI not by blasting a side out but creating pressure and taking chances that way, it's what we did in the game v Pakistan earlier.

Is that what he is saying? I actually had no idea.

Hahaha you're going to taste it so bad.

Strling, Porterfield, Joyce, and O'Brien x 2 are all properly good players.

It's in England right? Bangladesh in England will be worth as much time as Bangladesh down here.

Ireland would be in their element you would hope.

In subcontinential conditions it could be hard for Ireland.

Hopefully one or more second-tier sides make the quarters to make the ICC look silly.

All the more reason to hope West Indies win today as they should minnows devalue this tournament.
