We need to get the south african out.

KevIRL · 30-03-2007 3:32pm

Andre Botha to bowl

Steibhin · 30-03-2007 3:33pm

Can we get Ed to pop something into KP's Ribena?

digitally-yours · 30-03-2007 3:33pm

Anyone who is watching

any wind ? or some movement from the pitch or its all flat and batting pitch ?:rolleyes:

I am 100% on the bandwagon and have no clue about cricket.

But how are we doing? In laymans terms?

Right now, not great. Made a brilliant start, but England have fought back well. England still red hot favs to win

we started fantastic but the match is just going in England's favour currently

This is subject to change at any moment and i hope this happens !!!!

YES YES YES I want Ireland win !!!

I would hazard a guess that there are more people on boards viewing this thread than there are paying spectators in that stadium....

They all had to return to Ireland. Who would've thought that they should have booked a 7 week holiday

DMC · 30-03-2007 3:51pm

A lot of Irish supporters would've only budgeted for the Jamaica leg, after all, thats all we expected.

Are there many Irish there today?

KevIRL · 30-03-2007 3:52pm

Nope, v v few. Then again, v few of anyone there today

Peter B · 30-03-2007 3:54pm

Bit worried about the fielding positions. We seem to be a bit porous.

Not sure if that is the decent batting or the field positions. Commentators seem to think field positions are a bit unusual

MySelf56 · 30-03-2007 3:55pm

Its bad time lads need to take wicket 56 runs of partner ship..another run rate is dropping.. may be this might put bit pressure on bats man,..may be..

KevIRL · 30-03-2007 3:56pm

84-2 (18ovs)

Chucky the tree · 30-03-2007 3:56pm

Sure look at the windies aussie game. Host nations vs the favourites and the place wasnt even half full. the organisers have cocked it up.

Steibhin · 30-03-2007 3:57pm

Lack of crowds has been a big problem in this World Cup. Its a huge distance for Irish (or English) fans to travel. Also its a pretty inaccessible and expensive place. If it was being played in NZ or OZ than you could expect more Irish fans. Its a shame.

Ireland now 8-1 on Paddypower

mikeruurds · 30-03-2007 3:58pm

Average income in Jamaica = $50 (USD) a week. Cost of ticket... probably half of that.

KevIRL · 30-03-2007 3:59pm

maiden from Botha. Badly needed

84-2 (19ovs)

30-03-2007 4:00pm

Wow, that is definately worth a few euro. Just in case

DMC · 30-03-2007 4:05pm

Only 13 off the last 5 overs.... this is as good as a wicket, tbh... keeping KP caged.

Rjd2 · 30-03-2007 4:07pm

Bell is beginning to struggle a bit, we may have a chance with him.

Before I was rudely interrupted by a wicket...

I was going to say, the longer he remains quiet, the more likely he's give it a lash at some point. If he can fish for the right delivery..... well...
