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

[Beleg]

well bowled.

however, pakistan needs to sort their line up out. there isn't much point in fellas like malik and misbah coming in later during the innings only to find themselves unable to force the pace of the innings.

edit: I'd open with Afridi and Akmal and have the Jahanzaib fella come down the order in the next game.

Not a very impressive total at all. Well bowled by Rankin and co.

 

[Uppercut]

The bright young thing of Irish cricket is in the batting lineup today.

Paul Stirling, only 18. Proper Irish beak on him and typically bad Norn Iron haircut. Best of luck, big fella.

Fantastic little shot to get him off the mark

Afridi takes out Stirling. Looked good in his brief stay though.

 

[Uppercut]

Looked pretty good did Stirling for his run-a-ball 17, seemed to grasp the concept of Twenty20 cricket better than a lot of our players.

 

[nightprowler10]

Target not out of the reach here.

Goneskies!

Uppercut has called it all along, Ireland's bowling so much better than their batting. Been a bit drab this chase.

 

[shivfan]

Impressive bowling by Umer Gul....

Well, a respectable performance by the Irish. A bright future awaits ya IMO. You did very well with the ball throughout the tournament. And unlike NZ, at least your batting was strong enough to cross 100 against us.

sri lanka has its work cut out against new zealand now.

i'd reckon it's the other way around...

 

[headhunter]

Can't complain a bit, it's been another fantastic tournament for us but as uppercut pointed out before we don't get to play the big boys near enough. When will we see the irish cricket team on tv again?

 

[dinu23]

i'd reckon it's the other way around...

crucial game for both sides I guess. should be a good game. looking forward to it.

 

[Uppercut]

Could be a while. Hopefully a few Intercontinental Cup matches are played in Belfast, otherwise I'll have to consider going to Dublin for them. We'll be without our best players, but it's still always good to see how the replacements go.

 

[Shri]

Damn, I love this Pakistan side. Get Afridi to open and I would support them in the finals.

Now by any chance can we avoid Saffers in semis?
