T20 Qualifiers in UAE

Watched the highlights of the Ireland v Canada on Setanta last night, breaks were driving me mad. The best bit was when the commentator/producer left his mike on and you could hear him giving instructions about what camera angles he wanted and discussing the next topic of conversation with the expert.

TrueDub · 23-03-2012 8:47pm

I probably jumped the gun a little bit earlier today when I deleted the stream. Apologies for this.

But, to clarify things, in the absence of a sitewide policy (which is on the way): please only give streams that are completely free to air - this means if you need to fake a location, or it's an illegal feed of a copyright broadcast, do not post it. Bans will have to be handed out for breaches.

I don't agree with Mr Sherlock's law any more than the next guy, but we have to be careful for the next while. Please don't make this more difficult than it already is.

Any questions, please PM me.

I'll admit to knowing nothing about cricket, but I'm a betting man and I figured you lot would be the most knowledgeable.

I just had a read through the thread there and had a look at the prices for tomorrow's match.

Surely Ireland shouldn't be @1.28? Reading through the thread I got the impression that Namibia are good and they've already beaten Ireland? So I don't understand why Ireland are such big favourites and Namibia are @3.40?

djimi · 24-03-2012 12:44am

Its hard to call the game tomorrow I think. I dont think anyone would have thought that Namibia would have gone all 7 games unbeaten in the group. That said, Ireland have been much improved the last few games and beat the last two opponents heavily, while Namibia suffered a relatively heavy defeat in their last game. Ireland definately have the momentum, but Namibia have the advantage of having already beaten us in the tournament.

I dont really get that decimal betting; am I right in saying that Ireland are around 1/4 and Namibia are 5/2 or thereabouts? Seems to have Ireland as very strong favorites.

Ireland are 2/7 and Namibia are 12/5, if that makes more sense to you.

Yep, Ireland 2/7 and Namibia 12/5 with PP.

Yup a bit!

Pudsy33 · 24-03-2012 12:54am

To be cear the game is only on set 1 tomorrow?

Mothman · 24-03-2012 7:47am

Namibia chose to bat and are 39/3 after 11 overs.

Fantastic bowling performance thus far, the batsmen really struggling to get ball away.

They kept the intensity up throughout. Superb bowling and fielding to restrict Namibia to less than 100.

One foot firmly in the door to Sri Lanka

Yep.....coverage starts on Setanta Ireland from 1:50 pm:)

KevIRL · 24-03-2012 11:56am

Quality stuff from the bowlers to restrict Namibia to such a low score. Great tournament from Ireland to win every game after losing their first one. Hopefully they can see out the final now

wicorthered · 24-03-2012 1:46pm

Great result!!

Niall who?

Pudsy33 · 24-03-2012 3:07pm

Come on!

Do Ireland get a title here?

Setanta say so

Mothman · 24-03-2012 5:59pm

A good victory.
Very well done!

_blank_ · 24-03-2012 6:02pm

WOOHOO!!!

booth70 · 24-03-2012 6:09pm

That was some brutal hitting by Stirling...awesome:)

Ireland grouped with Australia and West Indies at the World cup and Afghanistan with India and England

B1gft · 24-03-2012 6:57pm

Stirlings batting comes second only to Kevin O Briens,against England, for class and importance.
Great win. Today was well worth getting up at 5.10am

djimi · 24-03-2012 8:51pm

Bloody Setanta cut off the last 4 runs of the Irish innings this afternoon when I recorded it... :mad: Missed the end of the game.

Great day of cricket for Ireland; the win this morning was more important in terms of getting to the tournament proper, but the performance this afternoon was excellent, considering how Afghanistan batted for most of their innings and how we went about chasing what wasnt a small target. Stirling was magnificent and has been for much of this tournament. Credit to Gary Wilson also who played some very important innings in this tournament.

I have to say I have been really impressed with Rankin these past couple of weeks. Hes improved a lot lately (the past couple of seasons at Warwickshire, especially last season, look to be doing him good) and he is now a genuinely dangerous opening bowler. His first couple of overs this afternoon in response to getting hit for 6 from the first ball were top class fast bowling!

Couldn't agree more - the wicket off the bat & then helmet was brilliant.

I was impressed with the bowlers not panicking - it would have been easy to do, considering how Afghanistan were motoring in the first few overs, but Ireland stuck to their plan and knew they could bring it back.

Top stuff, and now we're ranked 8th in the world in T20!

Dozen Wicked Words · 24-03-2012 10:18pm

I think it shows just how far the Irish team have come in a very short space of time by how much they are featuring on news bulletins on the radio and TV in Ireland, not sure too many of the presenters know what they are reading out, but still. Full credit to the players, and in future, the team don't deserve the uncertainty the ICC has inflicted on them in recent months.

the groutch · 24-03-2012 11:20pm

They'd really have to fancy their chances now against the West Indies in September

Pride Fighter · 25-03-2012 12:32am

Well done to Ireland, performing really well after their opening game blip.

Hopefully they can get another scalp in the T20.

SSK · 25-03-2012 1:00am

What happened the RTE2 highlights, just sitting down to watch them after Sky+ing it and all I'm seeing is Father Ted

Congrats to the lads, fantastic victory today and over the last week. Stirling and Rankin the star men but great performances from all the team.

HonalD · 25-03-2012 12:50pm

A great performance by the team, after a rusty 1st match. Rankin, Stirling were our best players. Porterfield was exceptional as captain.

gumbynation · 25-03-2012 8:03pm

Anyone else think stirlo was robbed off the man of the series award?
Granted he had a fairly ordinary group phase but he ended up with more runs at a better strike rate, and more wickets at a better economy than Van Schoor.

he also scored runs when it counted in the big games at the end.
in Namibias two playoff games Van Schoor made 0 and 1.

Looking forward to him tearing the aussies apart up at stormont!
