    Haha now McCarthy the genius.

    I can see now why Deutrom prioritised buyingTesla's over contracts for these lot.

    Ruhan Pretorius is tearing up the interpros, but Ireland can't fit him in because of the formidable middle order...

    We really only look better than Uganda.. and they at least managed to win a game.

    Even Namibia gave a better showing of it

    chest high full toss and nothing from the umpires… a fûcking joke jeez.

    Thankfully we get to 100, saves us a slight embarrassment..

    scorecard is quite embarrassing….

    First 5 that came out to bat… 0, 1, 2, 0, 7…. Not going to win anything with none of your specialist batsmen even making it into double figures.

    a very difficult c&b chance for Adair second delivery of his first over, but to have any chance, seemed to catch him by surprise and he wasn’t anticipating it.

    well balbirnie should have been binned along time ago.

    dross from Little. 11 conceded and looking not very threatening.

    Adair gets us a wicket. Hard to be upbeat though 😅

    Way too many deliveries on middle and leg or leg, meat and drink for these batsmen. And as I type, a wide this time.

    Adair with a wicket and then an excellent catch, on the run adjacent to the boundary ! 2 down, come on !

    52/3. pakistan need 50 off 66. cannot see us containing them unfortunately.

    make that 57/4.

    57/5

    The bowlers are doing their job again. What would they give now for an extra 20 runs

    5 down 😳😅….. that was a rubbish delivery but Khan with an even worse shot, nicks it….

    They won’t be putting the DVD of this game in any coaching manuals…great catch from Tucker though.

    57-5, bowlers doing very well and Pakistan batsmen throwing it away. Hopefully they can keep up the pressure and not let Pakistan build a slow partnership at 2 or 3 an over (which we've seen happen in a lot of games this tournament because teams have plenty of time to chase the low totals)

    Only for Babar being still there you'd be starting the car. They are unbelievably poor at the moment and I bet many Pakistan fans wouldn't mind losing to bring about changes to their team.

    Good team selection. Bring in a spinner for a seamer, then bowl 14 overs of seam and one spin. It's really astonishing stuff, well worth the new 2 year deal

    good innings by afridi, 17 off 21. pakistan now 95/7. they need 12 off 14.

    need to remove babar azam pronto.

    never mind azam. shaheen shah hits 14 off the 2nd last + 1 wide.

    game over.

    that big 6 and Delaney follows up by bowling a wide 🫣

    Followed by Stirling’s lack of athleticism showing and he hardly jumps for a catch he puts down. Get up man !

    it’s over.

    looking again at that poor effort from Stirling to catch that Afridi chance. A wicket not taken all because a professional cricketer can’t / won’t keep in shape and has all the athleticism of a half full wheelie bin.

    Zero wins from Ireland, Canada loss a real low point.

    abysmal by the batsmen. They are why we are going home. I’m usually fairly quick to criticise our bowlers and with good reason but you can’t expect to progress when the top score any batsman achieved over the 3 games is 34….ffs. That’s appalling…. 31 batting innings in the tournament by Irish players and only 3 times did they manage score of 30+.

    Pretty pathetic.

    anyway Nepal vs Bangladesh in Kingstown…. An awful lot of green grass on the pitch and two early wickets taken by Nepal.
