Group F - Ireland, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka

[Uppercut]

Good catch that from Sanga.

 

[Athlai]

7 overs left from MM & M and I don't think you can bank on scoring many against them. If Ireland are serious about this they need to go after Jayasuriya now.

 

[Uppercut]

Touch unsporting from Sanga, trying to get O'Brien stumped while hobbling around. Top sportsman though so have to give the benefit.

Yeah, they really need a big over or two here if they want a crack at this. They've got the wickets in hand, but there's no point waiting till Malinga comes back on at the end. Have my statistics exam tomorrow, but soooo tempted to go to our common room to watch this.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah I have an early day but the Irish are keeping me glued to this match.

 

[Athlai]

9 an over from here and then a lovely 10 to finish with.

 

[ret]

Ire needs a big over to gain some momentum

 

[Uppercut]

Need some runs!

 

[GGG]

Is Andy Moles coaching Ireland also? seriously you are only 1 down and lose this and you are out

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think the rate's just on top of Ireland here.

Trouble is, upping the rate versus the 3Ms easier said than done. Kulasekara on now tho. Time to go here.

No nothing unsporting about it. And Sanga's in my good books for walking when he was out earlier on. In fact he's always in my good books - more or less my favourite overseas Test player.

 

[zaremba]

10 off two balls - looks like the Oirish might be back in this one - but I still think it looks a tough ask

 

[Shri]

White!!!!!!!!!

Finally pressing on.

Jinxed.

 

[Smith]

Thank you for the memories Ireland.

 

[Uppercut]

And gone. But that's okay. Plenty of batting to come.

 

[Shri]

The O'Briens should hit some biggies here to give the Irish a chance. Should take on and slog the spinners.

 

[Uppercut]

KOB gone too.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Better Kev than Niall I suppose.

70/30 Sri Lanka from here.

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's torn it.
