Royale with Cheese · 17-03-2007 8:52pm

Ah shíte, just seen the two wickets down for Ireland are Bray and Morgan. A little less confident now.

whats wrong with DMCs??

if he offered a txt service i'd take it up as on my way out!

cooker3 · 17-03-2007 8:56pm

We have recovered well from the drop of the early 2 wickets, if this partnership can keep going then we should be looking good.

DMC · 17-03-2007 8:56pm

40/2 off 13

Ireland require another 93 runs with 8 wickets and 37 overs remaining

/me nods in agreement

besty · 17-03-2007 9:00pm

Porterfield was lucky with that!

RuggieBear · 17-03-2007 9:00pm

where is showing this in the city centre?

mikeruurds · 17-03-2007 9:00pm

Bangla Tigers are going nuts again... 2 x 4s in consecutive balls.

No boring cricket there!

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:02pm

Two huge LBW shouts from Mahmood... not given by Jerling...

41/2 off 14

Do you think they'll bowl him out? He seems to be the only dangerman at the moment.

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:06pm

Imran Nasir got his fingers stamped on by a running to his crease O'Brien... so now its pis... I mean drinks break.

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:10pm

44/2 off 15

Ireland require another 89 runs with 8 wickets and 35 overs remaining

Not using the Powerplay this time, Powerplay 3 still in Pakistan's pocket.

brian_rbk · 17-03-2007 9:13pm

can anyone breifly explain powerplay? thanks

It's a pretty ineffective new law seeing as most captains still use them right in the beginning of the innings.

Bangladesh absolutely dominating the Indian attack - 146/3... not much time left for India to win this.

christophicus · 17-03-2007 9:16pm

Things not looking as good for Ireland as i would hope. The run rate seems quite low.:(

Its fine. Its a low total to chase. Oodles of time. Wickets in hand.

Right, off to the Russell Court Hotel (the only place I know of in town that's actually showing this )

Showing here apparently, although I'd say once people get wind of it it might be on in more places.

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:18pm

45/2 off 16

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:19pm

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.

Pakistan are bowling their best bowlers out in the hope of snagging a few wickets.

The ball is getting older and will do less and less.

Ireland is still ahead of the run rate with wickets in hand.

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:22pm

Granted, the run rate has slowed to a funereal pace, 1.80 for the last 5 overs, but its ok....

As the Jamaicans say... chill...

49/2 off 18

Ireland require another 84 runs with 8 wickets and 32 overs remaining

Hafeez and his spin comes on...

cgf · 17-03-2007 9:24pm

Run Rate not an issue - it's wickets at the moment. We don't give them a wicket before the 25th and it's game over.

MySelf56 · 17-03-2007 9:25pm

Call me Mad. I wouldn’t want miss the history in making just ordered “Sky Sports”.

PS: I am not drunk yet.

cgf · 17-03-2007 9:26pm

And here come the spinners - critical juncture in the game.

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:26pm

Inzy causes an overthrow.... wild cheers from the Irish

mikeruurds · 17-03-2007 9:28pm

Bangladesh are going to beat Ireland to the title of "Giant Killer" in this WC.

Two sixes in the last two overs... 161/3 - only need another 31 runs.

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:29pm

Ireland strong favourites with Paddy Power now... 5/1 on, Pakistan 3/1 ....

55/2 off 19

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:30pm

Run out... TV replay..... tick tock... not out

I just saw the scoreboard, Vera says par is 42. At 20 overs, the game is official. If it bucketed down now, and no further play is necessary, Ireland would win!

mikeruurds · 17-03-2007 9:31pm

Bangladesh lose a wicket... 84 run partnership broken.

I think it's too little too late.

Edit: I don't think we'll need to be consulting Vera. Better keep ahead of her by not losing any wickets and keeping those runs ticking over!

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:32pm

57/2 off 20 overs!
This is fantastic partnership.

ninebeanrows · 17-03-2007 9:34pm

lovely 4!:D

kidu · 17-03-2007 9:35pm

From Cricinfo

"We have just been told that three chartered planes arrived from Ireland yesterday. If they win this, that could be increased tenfold."

DMC · 17-03-2007 9:35pm

Commentators curse.

62/3

Porterfield b Hafeez for a stonewalled 13 from 49 balls.

Unlucky, inside edge, up onto his pads and flicks the bail.

71 runs from 29 overs needed

Enter Botha.

Run rate is back up to 2.8, required is 2.51

mikeruurds · 17-03-2007 9:37pm

Halfway there... no need to panic.

Hi Lads, just got home but have been following the info on cricinfo on various computers through the day...whats the prognosis ?(I dont wanna read 13 pages of this thread!)

galwayrush · 17-03-2007 9:47pm

I'm still not fully up on the rules, but getting there. fantastic game. i never watched it or had any intrest in it before the WC.

It's great to hear new fans coming into the fold

Cricinfo is giving score from the 23rd over and then bouncing back to the 21st over

Slow and steady. They are more than half way with 3 wickets down. Just keep nurdling the ball around.

EDIT:
70/4 off 24 overs.

Sami gets Botha! Bat pad or LBW? caught by Rafeez for 0

VERY BAD decision...

There will be many more i expect.:cool:
Looking good as our average is better than we need. a few fours or sixes would be nice.
