**Official** Ireland in England 2019

[social]

Gotta feel a bit sorry for Ireland, they've had a really gusty performance up until this session, but there's no team in the world who can live with us in these conditions when we're bowling like this.

Except everybody

Huh?

If England bowl out Ireland in less than 42.4 overs, this will be the shortest ever match with four completed innings.

 

[Jarquis]

There really isn’t much else like a tight chase. Every boundary. Every appeal. Just tense.

So this probably doesn't apply for another hour or so at least

 

[Spintolose]

Congratulations Ireland for making it past the lowest test score (26).

Huh?

Semi-retired cricketers who bowled England out for 85 can’t see ball

Shocking

 

[trundler]

Cruelty

 

[Groundking]

Another 5 for at Lords for Woakes, good stuff

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Woakes has some record at the home of cricket.

 

[Spintolose]

Boomrah! Brumrah!

On the board!

 

[the big bambino]

Has the standard of batting ever been so ****?

Shocking

Makes absolute zero sense in response to GK post.

That's a bit condescending. Until this morning, Ireland have been so much better than just gutsy.

Ireland cornered England at home and that's a win for them. I think most teams would not have lasted in this 2nd innings the way England bowled. Still great for Irish cricket.

 

[Spintolose]

Lolllerzzzzz!

There've been several shorter matches. This one was apparently much shorter:

Given the batting lineups and the wicket, it wouldn't have been too hard to predict that England would get dumped out once and Ireland twice.

Jack Leach the batting saviour, less predictable.

Dire.
