    Huge over. Willey was poor there. Get 9 or 10 here it’s almost in the bag. Almost be run a ball.

    Tector is talented but inexperienced. Need O’Brien to get us over the line.

    Deserved. Fantastic. What an entertaining game.. victorious by seven wickets and chased down 329 ! Superb , beating the world champions in their back yard. One ball to spare, brilliant.

    Great end to the series. England have a pretty toothless bowling attack after the first few overs and some poor fielding near the end too.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Always looked likely when Kevin O'Brien was in, cool as a breeze, experienced finisher. The 2nd wicket stand must be the best one ever, in terms of runs and quality of opposition, great performance, especially when it looked like a 400 chase at one stage, credit to the bowlers for keeping England to 328 on a road.

    I thought you might make an appearance here after that. I was looking at the OBO on The Guardian while watching the play off final, but thinking of your good self at the same time.

    Great win, thought we were out of it when Willey got 50. Great run chase, kept the run rate in hand throughout the innings, Willey's no-ball ending up as a 9 was pivotal. I think I was more nervous than the players. This will live long in the memory. Thanks lads

    Fantastic win for Ireland. England were threatening a 400 score but Ireland took some key wickets at key times to restrict England to a chaseable score. Think everyone underestimated the wicket so Ireland played damn good to take 8.

    Sterling and Balbirine were amazing, a hell of a 2nd wicket stand. Ireland were great and we have a damn good batsmen in the middle order. Great result and find it funny we have chased 328 to win!

    Fantastic chasing that big score. Special by Stirling and Balbirnie. Series was gone but that salvages something and keeps interest and hope alive for the next cricket Ireland play whenever that is. Campher is the big positive of this series.

    Willey man of the series is fair enough, bat and ball. England's bowling shown up to be short when Willey doesn't go bang bang with the swinging new ball. And even when Woakes, Archer and Wood come back, they still haven't replaced Plunkett.

    Pity there isn't a T20 series.

    Agreed. Beating the world champions at home by only 7 wickets is really not good enough

    This is one thing I don't fully understand about cricket, winning by 7 wickets sounds mighty impressive but it was really by one run on the very last ball!

    Well chasing 329 was a fairly tough get to be fair, especially against this opposition.

    Bit of an interesting stat... 329 was the exact score Ireland posted to chase down and defeat England in the 2011 World Cup in Bangalore.

    Winning on the last ball is a weird thing. Teams generally know where they want to be based on both wickets and run rate. Having 8 off a last over in ODI is pretty comfortable, especially against a team that's at probably half it's strength (which is still a scary strength to teams from 7-10 in the rankings). They always had it in hand apart from the two wickets falling quickly.

    Well that's not what I mean mate. For it to get down to the second last ball with so many wickets in hand is what I am talking about. A great win, but it was so much closer than the 7 wickets suggests.
