*Official* Match 15 - England v Ireland

[Spark]

Ouch. That looks nasty. Hopefully he's just rolled it and nothing worse.

 

[cricman]

If O'Brien is gone than the match is over

That didn't look good

 

[_Ed_]

Yet another 300+ score on the cards.

This must be the highest-scoring World Cup ever.

Helps when you play on so many roads.

 

[Noble One]

I really like KP opening the batting. He gets so much value for money with his whips through the leg-side when the field is restricted. A far better option than using wicketkeepers who will either score a duck or make 50 once every 10 innings.

 

[Spark]

Great shot from KP, but this is danger territory for him - the 30's and 40's.

 

[cricman]

bring doctrell on

Very true. I remember the Champions Trophy a few years ago was played in some of these same places, but the pitches had so much more in them for the bowlers. I really enjoyed that tournament.

Flat Deck this just like Sunday, Ireland FTW

 

[Jarquis]

50 to KP (Y)

 

[flibbertyjibber]

50 for KP and looking ominous as far as Ireland are concerned. The way England are going and the way the pitch is playing you have to think 350 should be reached and 400 could be.

 

[Spark]

Aw. No points there then.

 

[cricman]

Shame the young man is going to play for England in 3-4 years and not Ireland

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Needed that wicket, don't really want Strauss spending too much time at the crease, give Trott and Bell some time in the middle so they are in form as and when they are needed in the knockout stages.

 

[cricman]

Dire Bowling

 

[Spark]

Haha, such a bad over.

 

[Spark]

Seems to get the ball to hurry onto the batsman, this bloke. LBW a shout if they play across him.

Should promote Broad up the order IMO.
