[G. S. Kohli]

[G. S. Kohli]

Tucker 37/108 in BD /45 & 55* in SL series

Well played

 

[Nintendo]

Fantastic to see Ireland be competitive in 2 of the 3 SC tests this year despite not having had a domestic FC comp in 2 years.

Balbarine has a few years left, campher, Tucker, little and tector all look class and theres young guys like Ross Adair with huge potential coming through. Really wish the ICC had kept the super league around, think it really helped accelerate the development of guys like Tucker and campher.

 

[ashley bach]

Yeah great first day of the test for the Irish, really put themselves in with a runners chance here.

 

[Ashes81]

Brilliant effort today from Ireland.
After the hammering they took in the 1st test, that was a gutsy performance today.

 

[Aidan11]

I only saw the early part of the day's play.

Does anybody know why Stirling retired hurt?

Does anybody know why Stirling retired hurt?

Got real bad cramps after being in the heat for so long.

 

[Aidan11]

Got real bad cramps after being in the heat for so long.

Thanks.

He should be able to return then.

I was worried in case it was concussion which would mean he'd have to be replaced.

 

[honestbharani]

So hopefully he can continue later.

 

[Slifer]

Well played Ireland.

 

[andruid]

Still expect SL to win. Great effort by these guys though.

 

[Brook's side]

100 for Stirling. Batting.
