Great news

KevIRL · 11-01-2018 1:22pm

Ireland 125/5 after 30 chasing 230 to win v UAE

KevIRL · 11-01-2018 1:43pm

151/5 after 36. The target is actually 223. So 72 needed off 84, but wickets in hand situation not great

Pudsy33 · 11-01-2018 1:47pm

We need to clone Joyce, we'll be so much weaker when he finally hangs up the bat.

axe2grind · 11-01-2018 2:12pm

39yo Joyce....Wow!!

lambayire · 11-01-2018 2:17pm

Decent win.

Cracking inning by Ed Joyce. Irish cricket will be so much weaker when he retires.

Good to see Gary Wilson in the runs. That must be his first 50 in a couple of years!

Apparently Wilson's most recent 50 was the same game as Joyce's previous ton (v AFG in 2016).

Ireland 64/1 after 13 overs. Batting first today. Stirling the man down for 20

KevIRL · 13-01-2018 8:04am

96/1 after 21. Porterfield 50

KevIRL · 13-01-2018 8:37am

140/1 after 32. Nice amount of wickets in hand. Time to start upping the run rate.

KevIRL · 13-01-2018 9:10am

187/1 after 38.

Porterfield on 84 and balbernie on 74

300 has to be the minimum target from this position

KevIRL · 13-01-2018 9:24am

Porterfield century and 221/1 after 41.

Ireland picked up 20 runs in the 39th over

KevIRL · 13-01-2018 9:30am

Ton for balbernie too. 245/1

KevIRL · 13-01-2018 9:39am

Balbernie run out 102. KOB in and swinging.

296/3 going into the last over

KevIRL · 13-01-2018 10:05am

301/5 in the end. KOB (24) and NOB (4) out in the last over. Great to see another couple of ODI centuries on the board. Should be enough against UAE you'd fancy.

Thanks

Ireland in with Windies in the world cup qualifying. Will be critical that we go into the super 6 stage with at worst only 1 loss v west Indies. Ideally no loss obviously.

Ireland 11/1. Porterfield duck, out second ball.

HonalD · 16-01-2018 11:08am

Not at the match today but the team played well on Saturday against UAE. With Rankin and Joyce rested, there was no major effect on the performance.
These matches might look like non events but they are important to get miles into the legs after Christmas and before the tournament in Zimbabwe.

KevIRL · 16-01-2018 11:12am

95/1 after 15. Rotating the strike nicely now and picking up singles with a few twos

KevIRL · 16-01-2018 11:56am

Balbirne out for 67 off 55 balls. Nice batting.

Ireland 104/2 after 16.2. Another 116 required with plenty of overs left. Just need to be careful now with the wickets. We have shown a tendandcy to lose a few quick ones together
