5th Match - Ireland v West Indies

[Gnske]

Can't believe he's only bowling at 128kph, surely someone has to work to get more juice of of him?

The fact that none of these commentators know how tall the West Indian captain is is quite embarrassing tbh.

He gets up to 135-140 IIRC, just easing himself in by the looks of things.

 

[Cabinet96]

I'd call that ridiculous, but then again Piyush Chawla is a World Cup winner...

Tbf, he was miserly as **** in that tournament.

 

[cnerd123]

Sloppy running. Good thing Porterfield kept running and didn't hesitate.

 

[anil1405]

Irish have a decent chance I suppose. WI are obvious favourites but this is an experienced Irish batting unit so I wouldn't rule out Irish victory at this stage.

 

[cnerd123]

stunning shot

Nah every time I've seen him he's been low 130s max.

 

[Zinzan]

One in a million chance

Nah, Ireland's batting goes all right. I just rate Holder and Taylor slightly higher than most.

This is not lotto odds though mate.

It was a joke ffs. Take a chill pill.

Wasn't too pacy in the recent tests either iirc, might have been Gabriel or Cottrell to be fair, they all seem to be missing a key ingredient these taller fast bowlers from the Windies these days.

 

[Flem274*]

good start so far. already better at finding gaps than the windies.

Yeah as Geoff Lemon pointed out in his recent article about commentators, their knowledge about cricketing things in general outside their own teams is almost non-existent these days.

I like Beefy, but I very much doubt he'd do anything more than simply turn-up when it comes to his job. Too busy trout fishing, golfing, cooking BBQs & guzzling wine to prep in any way.

 

[Zinzan]

Lovely stroke that.

Don't think I care all that much if they know how tall someone is but sure I don't think Beefy would claim to work very hard at his job.

Got a decent team out for this game though.

Touchy....I was just playing along with your 'one in a million' gag champ.

Still think your 'won't' may come back to bite you on the butt.

 

[cnerd123]

Holder hitting 140ks now.

 

[Zinzan]

Holder hitting 140ks now.

Looks a completely different bowler when he hits 140 from that height.

 

[Bahnz]

What sorta pace is Roach bowling at?

 

[cnerd123]

Although tbf these are the same speed guns that showed Shami hitting 147 and Yadav 151.

Roach only clocking in 130s
