5th Match - Ireland v West Indies

[Zinzan]

Yeah but is a decidedly trickier chase than 240 odd.

Feel Ireland might win comfortably if chasing 240...whereas 270-280 could be a really tight/exciting finish.

I can't see this pitch deteriorating and becoming more difficult to score as the day goes on.

Will be easier to score but the West Indian attack isn't all that bad.

Sammy creaming it here

IRE bowlers off the boil ?

Yeah, highlights how much I rate the Irish at chasing I suppose.

Bryan Adams makes most of his income from New Zealand cricket grounds.

I was just about to post that sammy was looking stiff against the short balls

 

[Athlai]

Yes they were on a grassy bank, but they weren't fat enough to take that catch.

 

[Zinzan]

Excellent batting this. With Russell still to come, 300 isn't out of the question. 12 an over off the last 10.

 

[Gnske]

Ireland falling apart faster than Oscar Pistorius's testimony

 

[Uppercut]

****ing hell Sammy, no need for all this treatment. Do the decent thing and hole out so we can get on with the game.

 

[Zinzan]

lol @ Mike Haysman thinking 240-250 is on here. Does he think it's still 1982?

 

[Athlai]

Mooney won't get through his death overs I suspect. Could be massive.

 

[Jimbo the giant]

240+ will be a challenging total any way, but 270 is too much imo.

They barely chased the 190 against bangles and got creamed chasing scotlands 290

 

[Goughy]

Interesting battle tbf.... Bagel & butter vs. Cake and Icing.

Think I may have had enough Cake this summer...I'll order a Bagel with loads of butter thanks.

No cushion cake references so far in this thread?

 

[Antihippy]

Should have gotten off before any more damage is done. Fast bowling while injured is incredibly dangerous to the body.

 

[silentstriker]

270 would still be slightly under-par IMHO.

Nah, not against Ireland.

Good recovery from the Windies.

Don't underestimate the Irish on the 'big' occasion chaps.

Simmons batting well too TBF.

Not digging this Irish kit btw.
