[LA ICE-E]

****....ireland in trouble hope they cant get atleast a 50 run partnership right here....really hope they can...

Followed by a decent effort for the runout, if cricinfo are to be believed

 

[Scaly piscine]

Flintoff bowling no-balls as usual, typical of his unprofessionalism I suppose...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Agent Joyce doing well for his paymasters in Dublin: first he leaves a straight one & has just shelled a dolly.

Wants to at least look as tho he's trying to win tho, surely?!?

 

[LA ICE-E]

well if he's going to be treated that way may be he should have just stayed with ireland

It's not the first one he's dropped in recent times, either.
Meanwhile, Mahmood is actually bowling rather well ...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Holy crap, another Mahmood maiden and someone didn't actually pick one of his blatant slower balls.

Oh c'mon Scaly, I generally think that Saj is ****e, but calling "blatant slower balls", should really be left to the batsmen, not someone watching or listening. It is actually probably his only talent.

Great call by Athers on Commentary, he said something was going to happen, and it did.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Good to see Vaughan bowling again. Panesar gets his usual freebie wicket.

 

[grecian]

Thats about the 4th stone cold LBW Montys been turned down this WC.

Now he has one.

 

[grecian]

Now he has one.

Yes, and Athers said "unbelievable"

Thank God Nassers on now.

I'm really glad about Vaughns bowling though, might mean the end of Dalrymples career

 

[LA ICE-E]

ireland still had a chance till like the 33rd over but the last two quick wickets...not a bad game though

 

[wpdavid]

Nice of Anderson & Mahmood to keep Ireland in the hunt. Cue Freddy, presumably.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Fletcher will still manage to pick Mahmood after this. England killing their NRR here which could be crucial if they actually manage to turn up for a few games.

 

[wpdavid]

I don't get it. Fred has 4 overs left, and Anderson looked in better shape this time, so there's no need for another change. Vaughan disagrees, brings back Collingwood who promtly goes for 7 from his first 2 deliveries. Not for the first time, I'm scratching my head about his captaincy in this WC.

Thank gawd for panesar, run-rate wise, eh SP

 

[Loony BoB]

Was enjoying watching these two make a "fight to the death" kind of stand. Hope White and McCallan can keep up the spirit of things.
