Rankin's a massive unit. Would back him against a Polar Bear.

Great start for Ireland, good to see.

I think if Ireland can get Yousuf's wicket then they could really restrict the Pakistani total.

So far so good for Ireland hope they can continue with the good work.

Yousuf out! Massive wicket!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Massiveeeeeee.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Johnston with a wicket. Couple more, thanks.

 

[Adamc]

WTF, Inzi gone too.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Get into it!

Is it April 1st?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

What a night of cricket this is.

Gotta say though, Ireland probably won't be able to chase 200 on this pitch. Rao and Gul will dominate on it. There's still a long way to go.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Come on Ireland!!!!!.

 

[pasag]

Wow, two amazing efforts from the underdogs so far.

 

[Prince EWS]

The ridiculous trend of Inzy not scoring any runs when I watch him bat continues.

I did stats on it a little while ago and he averaged in the mid 20s when I watched him (including both forms of the game) and I'm quite positive he's done worse since that time. Freaky really, because I've seen him bat quite a few times now...

 

[Laurrz]

Madness

Great stuff this from Ireland simply awesome stuff so far, if they can manage to win this one they would be through to the Super 8's(i know a bit premature to talk about it but who knows, all the Pakistani big guns have been dismissed).

**Fingers crossed for Ireland**

 

[fishyguy]

Really hoping Ireland can pull this one off. What a day for the minnows!

 

[godofcricket]

The plain stupiditity of this batting line-up and great captaincy from inzamam continues.......

 

[pup11]

Suprising to see Nazir still out there since he is a dasher, you would have placed your bet on batsmen with better techniques like Yousuf,Younis or Inzy to have survived the Irish bowling rather that someone like Nazir.

 

[pasag]

Botha gets Nazir! 5/66!

 

[fishyguy]

Holy S another one gone!!
