    Could have been worse than 163; I dont think thats too bad on such a small ground. Will need to bat well and get off to a good start.

    Good bowling from the spinners, but the seamers were poor and Cusack especially was a disaster. I was saying to someone yesterday, half joking, that we should be going with four spinners, but honestly I dont think it would have been the worst idea in hindsight!

    Aye, Porterfield especially has been in awful form of late. Could do with a nice steady start from himself and Sterling. Dont need to go nuts but need to keep up with the run rate.

    Ireland will have to play very poorly to lose from here.
