30th Match - Ireland v ZImbabwe (7th March 2015)

[91Jmay]

Could be 350 here.

 

[Flem274*]

Thoroughly enjoying another very mature batting performance from Ireland.

 

[Ferraz]

IIRC it goes to the team with the most competent cricketing administrators.

Ireland FTW!!!!!!

 

[Uppercut]

Top-class innings that. Second run was the right decision for the team, just happened to be a great throw.

 

[Flem274*]

Oh no. Great commitment to the team cause there

Not the phrase I'd use. Top class batsmen make sure they are on strike when they're the man in and playing well. He didn't get anything in the last 5

 

[91Jmay]

Well done Andrew Balbirnie, good young player. His the key innings, changed the dimension of the game.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bizarre to think Zim did well to curtail them to 330 there.

Highest score by an Associate in a world cup, beating Ireland's 329 against England from 2011.

 

[91Jmay]

Zim did well last 2 overs. Shocking before that though.

I think that's harsh. Getting KOB on strike is fair enough and Wilson and Mooney were catching them really well too.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Just got up, so is this a score that should/could be chased down?

Come on Ireland.

 

[Jimbo the giant]

Come on Ireland.

Its a very good score. Irish should have too much, but you never know.

 

[Chubb]

Just rubbish so far. It is sad to see. I like Ireland and want them to get test status but not by crushing Zim. Not over yet but hard for Zim to get up.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ireland should win this now. They need to after that Pakistan result.

 

[Maximas]

Taylor really looks a class above

 

[_Ed_]

Strange innings by Mire.

 

[Maximas]

Zimbos still a sniff here, this partnership has to go big though

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Yeah still a chance, think Taylor has to get 150 to get close though.

 

[Prad100w]

Don't wanna count Zim out here yet. Their real strength in the batting has been their middle order. If Taylor and Williams can take the game closer, could be anybody's game this, specially with Ireland's death bowling not being so impressive.

 

[NUFAN]

This has been such a terrific innings from Taylor so far..
