    Just dig in for god sake lads. Get a 25 run partnership.

    This is the definition of "Test" cricket. We've been after it for so long so now is the time to prove that we deserved it.

    In fairness - England were all out for 85 in their first innings.

    Quite looking forward to seeing the Ashes at Lords if the ball is hooping around like this.

    England wanted Ireland to come out, play defensively and try and nudge their way to 182 off 80 odd overs. They did exactly what they wanted them to do.

    Aussies would be down 100-6 in these conditions as well.

    Its just unplayable and there's not much Ireland can do.

    Not that hard to understand. If we're able to bowl England out for that score I don't see what you're talking about with the below.

    Lowest ever test innings total is 26. Last three wickets gone for no runs.

    Winning one innings might be enough in an ODI. Nowhere near enough for a Test match. This is a shambles

    We're playing against England.

    We were 40/1 before it started.
