Come on Ireland (at cricket) (1 Viewer)

[Unicron]

Great opening innings for Ireland in their first world cup game this morning. Bowled Bangledesh all out for 205, a reachable target to chase.

would Bangladesh be considered good? Like is this a giant-killing performance in the offing?

probably the weakest of the test nations, while we're probably the strongest of the associate nations.

so its like QPR beating Wolves.

CRICKET? BRITS OUT!

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Don't we have a bunch of ringers playing for us?

And don't our best players play for England?


Apart from it being a tan sport in the first place, I'm really not convinced I should give a shit about this anyway.

 

[Unicron]

And don't our best players play for England?

One Irish guy is in the England team right now (Morgan), another (Joyce) played for us, then for England, and now for us again.

Anyway, we lost so I'm back to thinking that it's a stupid garrison game.

We beat England?! Fair play!

Was able to see the whole Bangladesh defeat, and only saw the final two overs of this. Ah well. Fair play, well done lads.

Its Stuttgart '88 all over again.

Christy Moore is even writing a song though its hard to find anything to rhyme with 'cricket'.

also, is there a word as gaelige for cricket? Can't wait to watch Nuacht to see how they get around that one!

 

[Cormcolash]

Get on the blower to Christy and tell him the song is already there for us, he just needs to cover it and change a few of the lyrics!!!!

What a fucking day. Utterly astonishing stuff. I unfortunately spent the last hour of the match on a physio table being pummelled while a friend of mine sent me text updates, so my tears at the end could have been for any number of reasons. But that was a phenomenal stuff, after the heartbreak of Friday. Unbelievable from KOB as well. Take a bow son.

I caught the BBC highlights and O'Brien was a beast of a batter. All aboard the bandwagon. They better not lose all the following games though or else cricket in Ireland will be doomed forever.

There's surely some bread puns to be had out of the team having Johnston Mooney & O'Brien.
