[Nate]

I understand the role that Porterfield plays, but I do think it must put quite a bit of pressure on his teammates. Needs more singles, at the very least.

 

[Howe_zat]

Stirling 60 off 35, Porterfield 35 off 60.

****ing hell why do I suddenly care about this?

 

[Adamc]

Impressively bad review there.

 

[Nate]

So good. Give Ireland the trophy! Democracy!

 

[Nate]

Well done Stirling! Not sure what to make of Porterfield's innings. Rest of the Irish team still have a lot to do.

Eden Garden have nice look to it..and the game is evenly poised at the moment

 

[Athlai]

No way, Ireland have totally dominated this match since the 10th over.

Stirling .

 

[_Ed_]

Sounds like a great innings from him. But be warned, media of the world - puns on his name are not acceptable.

 

[Uppercut]

Stirling effort

 

[Uppercut]

Why do we always try to hit loads of boundaries before taking the batting powerplay? Such a tactical fail, it's damaged a lot of our chases.

 

[NasserFan207]

Comfortable win

 

[Blaze 18]

Well done Ireland, impressive win. Sterling effort indeed! You've got to feel for Netherlands. They've competed well in this World Cup, but they don't have a win to show for it.

 

[Howe_zat]

KoB powermurders Seelaar for two sixes to finish the game in glorious fashion.

Great win.

 

[Nate]

Again, who knows what could've been if they kept their heads during the Bangladesh game? Regardless, well done Ireland, you've won me over.

 

[Uppercut]

It's funny how our entire tournament has been characterised by quality pressure bowling and horrendous batting collapses but both of our wins have come from chasing down big scores after the bowlers didn't get the job done.

Stirling effort

Cricinfo have already bitten. Shameless.
