It's a lot less complicated a game than I thought.

digitally-yours · 15-03-2007 7:29pm

Now they are beging to break free

I would suggest a ball targeting the head <Bouner> or in the rib cage area with a glare of the eyes

thats how world class bowlers react for bounderies

KevIRL · 15-03-2007 7:42pm

Bermuda 78 all out. Massive win for Sri Lanka by 243 runs

DMC · 15-03-2007 7:43pm

Powerplays are fielding restrictions in one day matches, where the fielding side must have all their players bar two inside the 30-yard fielding circle (the ring right around the middle of the picth) There are 3 sets of powerplays; 1st powerplay is the first 10 overs, which have to be taken straight away; Powerplay 2 and 3 are two sets of 5 overs a piece, which can be taken at any time by the fielding side, but generally, they choose overs 11-15 and 16-20, to get them out of the way early. In cases like this, you often don't use the powerplay if a spinner is bowling, the spinner or other slow bowlers appear in the 21st over.

Full Info here

Ireland are drifting in the odds market. At the start of the Zimbabwe innings, they were evens, but now they are 15/8. Kinda reflects Zim's run rate.

Royale with Cheese · 15-03-2007 7:45pm

Way too late with the powerplay info.

Ireland need some wickets here

digitally-yours · 15-03-2007 7:46pm

they need to scare batsmans there

Zimbawians look very comfortable there and those drop catches definately boosted their confidence

Irish are not changing tactics here

cheers, the older rule seemed fine to me, or change it and only let 2 outside for the whole game? seems a bit over the top to me, its like a pisstake of american sports.
This wouldn't have been the same with these rules:

"we are at the top of powerplay 2 at the moment, the batsman's Holding the bowler's Balls"

Royale with Cheese wrote:

I'm not exactly sure of the fielding restrictions but you have to have so many of your fielders inside the inner circle making it easier for the batsmen to hit boundaries. Not too sure how long they've been around. A year, maybe 2?

The term Powerplay has been around a couple of years, but fielding restrictions have been around since the 1983 World Cup. It used to be only the first 15 overs.

zuutroy · 15-03-2007 8:08pm

We're hanging in there in terms of run rate even if the wickets aren't falling....Raging I dont have sky.

christophicus · 15-03-2007 8:11pm

Yeah , its not inducing much confidence though that we havent managed to get anyone out in a good while.

mikeruurds · 15-03-2007 8:11pm

Evening guys

The game's looking pretty finely balanced.

C'mon Ireland!

Mike

DMC · 15-03-2007 8:12pm

With the slowing of the run rate, we need wickets to slow it even further.

digitally-yours · 15-03-2007 8:12pm

looks like the game is drifting away from us.This partnership must be broken

zuutroy · 15-03-2007 8:14pm

Odds on Betfair are very skewed in Zimbabwe's favour....4 for Ireland 1.3 for them.

super_furry · 15-03-2007 8:15pm

This is a pretty conslusive begineers guide for anyone interested http://www.rte.ie/sport/cricket/features/beginnersguide.html

Good to see they've slowed Zimbabwe down, got to keep them on the back foot for the next hour or so and build on that.

mikeruurds · 15-03-2007 8:15pm

Strangle the run rate. Force them to hit out and take chances.

The wickets will come.

copacetic · 15-03-2007 8:16pm

we are putting some good fielding in and staying in touch, 4.6 is what they
need at the moment. do need a wicket soon though.

ohhh, that was close..

zuutroy · 15-03-2007 8:16pm

Keeping them below 100 for the first 25 would be a very good start IMO....

mikeruurds · 15-03-2007 8:17pm

Damn... so close.

That has to go to the batsman.
