**Official** Ireland in England 2019

[the big bambino]

Yep.

 

[Howe_zat]

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

yeah should have added 'since records started'.

 

[Uppercut]

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.

Yeah we've just been outclassed, England devour far better batting lineups than ours in conditions like these. Still really proud of the team, especially how they pulled it back yesterday in 38 degree heat.

Did a quick search and while this isn't the lowest ever Test score - this isn't the lowest number of overs either. SA were all out in 12.1 overs in 1924!

 

[Spintolose]

Well, it's been a cheap innings. Just lasting the one pint of Guinness.

 

[Adders]

Dire.

Yeah utter shite from him.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

And people were dropping Broad from their ashes sides. He still has it.

 

[Burgey]

Cruel old game. Conditions today and some decent bowling have done them in.

Bright side is England will probably run with this attack for the Ashes when there’s better blokes available

 

[trundler]

That should keep Broad in for another couple of years.

 

[Adders]

That's more embarrassing than your posting mate.

There's potentially one better bloke available tbf (and even he might not be fit).

 

[morgieb]

Lowest score at Test level since 1955. Ouch.

Ireland played great for three innings, but unfortunately just got exposed massively here.

 

[Spintolose]

That's more embarrassing than your posting mate.

I haven't bothered reading any of yours.

I very much doubt I've missed out on anything.

 

[trundler]

6-17 must be the best figures recently. At least going by average.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

There's potentially one better bloke available tbf (and even he might not be fit).

Two, Anderson and Archer and fitness means you probably don't play both at Edgbaston anyway so Archer waits.

 

[Burgey]

You’ve got Archer who’s right to go haven’t you?

 

[Burgey]

That's more embarrassing than your posting mate.

Bloke won’t last the week, don’t worry

 

[King Pietersen]

Amazing. Easy win, was never in doubt.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Lowest score at Test level since 1955. Ouch.

Do you think a rout like this does a minnow any good? I know they gave a decent account of themselves, but it's hard to take away any positives when you get humiliated like this in the last dig.

Won't be the last time this summer that the seamers bail us out.
