Group B - Ireland, Scotland, West Indies, Zimbabwe

WI are ****ing this up massively

 

[_Ed_]

This is slipping away from WI pretty quickly.

Where is Balbirnie pulling these shots from never seen him do anything like it

Balbirnie not a waste player.

 

[Everton Seymour]

Now this is how you utilise a powerplay! No playing yourself in , no overcomplicating a self explanatory format , just have a go ! . A "Stirling" performance so far .

 

[Burgey]

They’re gonna have to Namibia this from here to miss out

 

[CricAddict]

Going to require a major screw up from the irish to lose from here

 

[straw man]

this is a pummelling

 

[Burgey]

Lorcan Tucker is a name for the ages.

 

[_Ed_]

this is a pummelling

The only genuinely one-sided game we've had in the tournament so far, unless WI manage to conjure something from here.

 

[Burgey]

How good was Tucker’s shot to get off the mark?

 

[CricAddict]

Ireland doing this chase beautifully right now.

 

[Burgey]

Two good overs away from having this in the bag

 

[Burgey]

Fmd what a shot

 

[Xuhaib]

It's ironic Windies strongest format right now is tests a big shift to where they were 5 - 7 years back

I wonder if it's something to do with this being the first generation of players that came up with T20 cricket

Back when WI were a force in T20 cricket it was players like Gayle, Samuels, Bravo, Pollard etc. who were already established international cricketers when T20Is came along (or when they became prominent a bit later).

Like maybe being forged by international cricket and adjusting it to, and then specialising in, T20Is is better than being forged by CPL/IPL and then adjusting to international cricket

 

[Burgey]

What a ****ing pizzling.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Everything has definitely gone Ireland's way. A lot of skied balls and thick edges falling into gaps and over fielders

 

[trundler]

Stirling with a strong pound for a change.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Some real red-ink batting atm
