5th Match - Ireland v West Indies

[anil1405]

Balbirnie is trying to make me biased to all his future innings. Some ***y strokes there.

I've been biased towards Niall since 2007. Such a treat to watch especially when he plays those cut strokes.

 

[Athlai]

Balbirnie = cake ?
Balbirnie = icing ?
Balbirnie = spud ?

Requires further investigation.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Is he related to Vanburn Holder?

Cousins.

 

[Xuhaib]

Ireland will do a 2007 on on Pakistan only this time it would not be a shock. Playing really well here deserve the win.

Could have been the candles.

Agreed, have loved him since that great St Patricks day miracle.

This is no miracle though, nor is it the complete implosion of all West Indies cricket. This is a good Irish batting team, a disciplined attack and strong fielding unit taking apart a team on a road.

Give them Tests! (And Boyd Rankin)

Candles could be a worthwhile description for genuine tail enders. The lit and unlit candle.

 

[Burgey]

India are going to score 370 against Ireland.

They may well concede 372 though

Yeah they looked pretty but the easiest shots for an average player to play against a quick - poor, wide, overpitched ball, stand still, no back lift needed, no footwork required, just bring the bat down and it goes for 4.

The little I have seen of Balbirnie makes me wonder. Not convinced with what he does with his hands and his feet are a little jittery.

 

[Grasshopper]

Cousins.

Cheers.

This is the value of keeping on going hard through the middle, rather than trying to "time" it and artificially placing pressure on yourself.

Someone tell me why this DJ is receiving so much praise dammit

This is the value of seeing off the new ball on a road with small boundaries*

 

[BeeGee]

Outstanding from Ireland. Match of the tournament so far.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Damn... brilliant from Ireland.

I'm not watching. I am in full support of said DJ if only I knew what bangers he was smashing

 

[Hurricane]

Balbirnie doesn't look like much chop

 

[ankitj]

Why hasn't KOB come in yet?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh come on Ireland.
