*Official* Pakistan tour of Ireland, England and Scotland 2018

[Borges]

This is really good from Ireland. Taking it over by over, and seeing off this new ball so far.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kevin O'brien is a fighter

 

[turnstyle]

Not exactly the same situation, but tbh I thought we had lost this by the halfway mark. 150 lead would be interesting.

well done ireland, anything over 100 and they can definitely put Pakistan in a spot of bother

 

[vcs]

Ireland's only hope is to somehow hang on today and pray that it gets rained out tomorrow.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Decent fight from Ireland this. Get 50 more and it could be a nervy chase.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I smell a Pakistan collapse

 

[Borges]

Don't really understand how these two have managed to survive so far; but they are still there despite innumerable close shaves.
They deserve all the luck that is going their way. The next milestone to look forward to is the first century partnership for Ireland.

pakistan seem to be running out of options to get wickets, this doesn't bode well for the upcoming tests in england

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Thomson's average approaching 50, partnership approaching 100.
This is inspiring for every true cricket fan.

Problem is that the more runs we score the easier it looks to bat.

Shadab Khan is now just going through the motions, hoping that the batsman makes a mistake.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Does Ireland have any unlucky # below 100?

lol, good one

This is a very bad guy: he was just waiting for me to post that.

 

[smash84]

ireland have done well, lead 91 now, anything over 150 and they should fancy themselves a good chance.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

114 valuable runs

 

[Borges]

When should Kevin O'Brien start trying to farm the strike? Eight down?

now probably

 

[Firebreaker]

O'Brien should start attacking now to Abbas at least
