Ireland v England ODI

Beasty

Looks like Freddie will not be playing at Stormont on Thursday, as he is expected to go under the knife next week (presumably another knee op)

Irish Times today says he's 50-50. It might not matter, the weather forecast isn't good

No live TV or radio coverage anywhere.

Still tickets available though!

Got my ticket back in March. A couple of weeks ago Ticketmaster sent me an e-mail telling me it had become reserved seating, and a new ticket was on its way. I had to call them if it did not arrive 48 hours before the event. Yesterday I got another e-mail saying ticket should have arrived by then and to call them if not. I spent 10 minutes waiting on the phone this morning to then be informed my ticket had not been posted and would be held for me at the ground.:mad:

This should probably be in the Ranting and Raving forum, but I paid these cowboys a "service" charge for the privilege of buying a ticket from them, and they could not have had the simple courtesy to inform me the ticket would be at the ground:mad:

If Hurricane (now Tropical Storm) Bill gets his way, I will probably spend 4 hours driving to and from Stormont on Thursday to see no cricket, but at least I'll then get my £35 back (less another "service" charge:mad:)

I would have thought you would be entitled to your service charge if they did not complete the service as promised?, ( sorry to go OT )...

Lads, do you know if you can pay on the door? How much is a ticket to just stand around the boundary? I don't want a seat in the stands.

Reserved seating only. They only had a about 300 tickets left a couple of days ago, available through ticketmaster (to pick up at the ground). They may have gone though, following England's Ashes victory

The ECB charge £1.40 for England Test ticket refunds. In the "old days" you did not get any refund. Not sure if Cricket Ireland (or Ticketmaster) charge. Hopefully it will be academic, but a "full" refund is due if there is less than 10 overs play.

Does that mean you have to book for reserved seating only? Or do you mean you have to book a seat and I won't be able to stand around?

If tickets are still available there is plenty of space at Stormont to stand around - you are not required to take up your seat

Cool, I plan to go to do some photography work for local press. Thanks

Why don't you talk to Cricket Ireland about press accreditation then? You'll get a lot more access with that.

Royale with Cheese

England 11/2, Johnston getting rid of Bopara and Trott, both for 0.

Rain stopped play though.

glanman

Anybody got a stream for the game???

glanman

What a start!!

D3PO

what a spell by trent 7/2 off his first 6 overs. O'Brien doing an excellent job the other end aswell. We need to drive this great start home now by taking some wickets while we have em under pressure.

come on boys

Rain falling again. Such a pity its not being televised

Yes, nothing beats a bit of rain on the tv

Euro_Kraut

Agree that its a shame its not on TV. TG4 should be showing it. Would be great craic to hear all the crikets terms as gaelige!


Following it here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/shared/fds/hi/statistics/cricket/scorecards/2009/8/15834/html/scorecard.stm

England have stablised and have upped the run rate a bit. 56-2 after 18 overs.

Euro_Kraut

Prior gone! 64-3 after 22 overs.

This going along nicely. Have we ever beaten England in Cricket before?

Nope

Need to get rid of Denly quick smart though.

England now 83-3 after 26ovs

KevIRL

Collingwood gone.

England 93-4(29ovs)

Sandeman

So with 116-4, 35 overs, and England with a run rate of 3.3 or something like that, what do you guys reckon would be a good total, realistically, for Ireland?

Shah gone now aswell. I think if we kept them under 210 it would be great

with a primary target to keep them under 220

D3PO

Denly gone !! thats the big one.

Lets keep the door shut now

Cremated

Good stuff from the lads, Trent with three wickets, good way to celebrate his 100th cap ...

26/4 from trent off his 10 well done captain fantastic. unlucky it wasnt a fifer

D3PO

9 down would be great to bowl them out. :D

lets keep it to under 200 lads

D3PO

204 needed to win. a smidge over 4 an over.

this is eminently winnable especially with a good start.

Euro_Kraut

Looks like rain Ted: http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp?ani=y

Might have our innings cut short a bit. Anyone care to explain the Duckworth/Lewis method to me?

Xavi6

That's a fantastic effort from the lads.

Big performance needed with the bat, but it's definitely possible.

Not really. I jsut plug the numbers into the DL calculator and get the revised total

rain it is. Hopefully we get on. we need to bat 20 overs to constitute a game right ?

Think so.

I plugged values in here and got a target of 115 for Ireland off the minimum of 20 overs.

D3PO

we are a good 2 hours away from it being reduced to 20 overs though.

pretty stiff target off 20 i think especially if its seaming as much as cricinfo have insuinuated.

id actually go as far as to say england would be happy enough with that only 89 runs being knocked off for the 30 overs

Euro_Kraut

Don't take my word as gospel. I could have done that all wrong. Seems about right though. Ireland know their target (5.75 runs an over) and have 10 wickets to get it. They just have to go hell for leather and not worry too much about loosing the odd wicket.

rain has stopped anyway. Im guessing they might end up reduced to 30 ish overs by the time they restart

D3PO

So you were out by 1 run Euro

116 needed to win off 20 overs game restarting at 5.36

D3PO

7 off the first over no wickets down

repeat 16 more times and we win

Marshy

Porterfield gone, 8-1

Just need one decent partnership of around 50 and should win.

Beasty

38/2 after 5.3 overs
Stirling 15, Botha 3

Marshy

50 up after 7.1 overs, so far so good.

The Insider

66 for 3 (9.0 overs)

Beasty

Botha gone - 66/3 after 9.1

Beasty

Make that 66/4 after 9.3 - Stirling out, so getting interesting

Beasty

85/5 after 14.4
Ireland require another 31 runs with 5 wickets and 32 balls remaining
