Yeah hurried by a Rankin pie iirc.
It's a shame for Colville, because you can't claim it's his debut in any way. His only game was against Ireland in Ireland too. 2013 debut?

When people suggest "Football" nowadays I think of the modern Football fan sat in a pub watching their team on TV whilst moaning about everything and sat on Transfer Deadline Day having a moan they aren't spending £74million on Emile Heskey. Apologies if thats not what you meant.

Pothas is a proper glory-hunter TBF, that's why he loves Ravi
I am sure you are aware that football fans at all levels are capable of this, support Brentford and people have been moaning all week about 'negative' tactics on the weekend.
Obviously.Pothas is a proper glory-hunter TBF, that's why he loves Ravi
Seriously though, what a man he is.

Morgan can. Less sure about the rest.

I really don't think bowling Kevin O'Brien to Morgan is a great idea. Stirling or Mooney should be the options here.

Yeah I'd have gone with one of those too. They might just still be looking for a bit of movement, Murtagh got some right into his last over and the ball's only 11 overs old.
KOB's bowling **** here though.

Stirling 5 overs 0/36. Must say, did not see that coming. Annoying that while his progression from dart-thrower to proper bowler looks nice and would threaten more batsmen in FC cricket, it could mean more days like this really.

Does look like England have got this from here but it'll be encouraging for Ireland that they've been able to expose fringe opposition cricketers again; playing Ireland in Ireland does genuinely seem to be a step up from the YB40 for example and that's really healthy for international cricket.
Part of me would've preferred if they got belted though. One of the things that's always been likeable about Ireland's side is that they don't do the whole "encouraging loss, we'll take heart that we got so close" thing; they always play to win and when they get a sniff they invariably actually pull it off, rather than creating a fairytale what-if story. The series against Pakistan followed by this game really takes away some of that.

Bit of a moral victory for Irish cricket in that England's best bowler of the day was Rankin and their best batsman was Morgan, too. 
Murtagh as Ireland's best notwithstanding..

In an ideal world he'd keep both up his sleeve and learn to read the situation and the batsman better but to be fair to him we are talking about an opening batsman.

Hope Ravi gets his century.

Morgan it's a disgrace, should just be giving Ravi the strike. Drop him, it's the only way he'll learn.

Interesting innings from England.
Looking forward to digging up some of the comments about Stokes in the not too distant future.
