Australia v Ireland [Super 8s/Match 16] - Updates

[Sean]

Starting in 3 hours. I expect Hussey and Symonds to be put up the order to give them some batting time. I have a slight soft spot for Ireland as my name is Irish and I have and I think I have an Irish background. But that won't stop me from supporting Australia.
Gilly will make a century. I'm sure of it.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

any idea of the teams?

 

[Sean]

Nope. But I feel a couple of Aussie players will be rested. So that Clark and Johnson will get a game.

Nope. But I feel a couple of Aussie players will be rested. So that Clark and Johnson will get a game.

that would be understandable but i hope gilly,hayden and tait play!!

 

[Sean]

that would be understandable but i hope gilly,hayden and tait play!!

Yep. As I said, Gilly will make a century.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Yep. As I said, Gilly will make a century.

that would certainly help out my fantasy side!

 

[Milroastnescafe]

I will be suprised if anyone is rested. Ricky Ponting has stated he's not fond of the idea of rotating his players throughout this world cup. I expect Hussey to bat at 4 though.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Australia win the toss and will bowl. There only change sees stuart clark come in for Nathan Bracken

 

[usman_mhd123]

Should be an easy game for Irish

 

[Milroastnescafe]

"There only change sees stuart clark come in for Nathan Bracken"

Odd.

 

[Sean]

Aussies have won the toss and elected to bowl. Stuart Clark has come in for Bracken.

 

[Sean]

A win here will ensure Austrlaia a semi final spot.

 

[Sean]

Ireland get off the mark straight away. He's lucky there. Would've been plumb had it hit his pad first.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Looks like some Pak fans in the crowd aswell.. you can see a Pak flag at the background with some people during 1st over

 

[Sean]

Bowled. Brilliant yorker from McGrath. In between bat and pad. Bray goes for 1
1/2

 

[Sean]

A bouncer straight away from Tait.

 

[Sean]

2nd ball - 150.9kph

 

[Lara400]

Pak are one down!!

 

[Sean]

Well well well. That really should have been punished that was a poor delivery.

 

[Sean]

Very well kept then by Gilly. That had alot of inswing.

 

[Sean]

I thought that if Hussey and Symonds were going to bat up the order, we would bat first. if we won the toss (Which we did). Surely?

 

[Sean]

What excellent fielding. What a stop by Roy. That should have been four. It was right out of the middle.

 

[Oxy]

Rudi takes his time. OUT

LBW. Plumb to me

2-2 of 3 overs

 

[Sean]

Plumb. Hitting leg stump.
Porterfield out for 1.
2-2

 

[Oxy]

O'Brien OUT! Plays on

1st ball

Tait on a hatrick!

2-3

 

[Sean]

PPs man Niall O'brien in. Do it for your country.
Nope. Bowled first ball. Tait on a hattrick.
He goes for a duck. 3/2 and I feel that Ireland will be out for a World Record.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

niall o brien - first ball bowled by tait!!!!!!!!!

 

[Medic]

Ireland in control

 

[Rob H]

Wowie, nearly a hat-trick. Kev O'Brien couldnt get a knick on it.

 

[Sean]

Kevin O'brien, Nial's brother in.
Tait running in to bowl........ (clap clap clap clap)
WHAT A JAFFA! So so close. Beatin him all ends up with swing.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Ireland are lulling Australia into a false sense of security

 

[Rob H]

Back to back wides for Tait. He's going for too much pace.

 

[Sean]

And Tait's next 2 balls are wides. )

 

[Oxy]

Tatit a bit wayward -= but WHO CARES at that pace! Seriously hostile stuff.

 

[Rob H]

Good shot by O'Brien, dug out the yorker and it's 4.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

four!

 

[Sean]

Very nice shot from Kevin O'Brien. 4 runs through midwicket. Ireland fans start goin crazy.

 

[Oxy]

OUCH!

Ducks into a short one.

 

[Sean]

O'Brien hit by a 149.2kph bouncer. Ouch. In the shoulder. Watch the ball son!

 

[ThaSiccSense]

kevin Ducks And Gets Hit On The Helmet Lol Good Stuff

 

[Rob H]

another 4 through mid wicket. Tait the typical wild child.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Four!

 

[Oxy]

Repaets the previous shot - another 4 for O'Brien

12-3 off 4 overs.

 

[Sean]

Next ball he clips off his toes through midwicket for another 4. I thought he would bowl another bouncer.

 

[Oxy]

kevin Ducks And Gets Hit On The Helmet Lol Good Stuff

On the forearm/shoulder

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

tait - too hot to handle for the irish

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

[inane]

Classic Tait

[ThaSiccSense]

[Sean]

Out. Another wicket for Australia. Morgan nicks it to Hayden and it is now 4/12.
He goes without troubling the scorers. Pigeon has his second.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

36 Canada vs Sri Lanka 2003

 

[Sean]

36 by Canada in the 03 World Cup against Sri lanka. That is also the lowest total ever.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

36 Canada vs Sri Lanka 2003

thanks - looks like thats under serious threat today!

 

[Sean]

Wayward Tait is back. He is trying to bowl too fast.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Tait, bowling the skitzo line today.

 

[Sean]

thanks - looks like thats under serious threat today!

Not if Tait continues bowling this shit.

 

[Sean]

sean seems happy


ooh almost chopped on

You could say that.

 

[Rob H]

Ireland dong this in wides

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Wide, nonsense, jekyll and hyde.

 

[Sean]

Yet another wide from Tait. He is going to give Ireland all their runs.

 

[Rob H]

Ponting drops it at 2nd slip. Very tough chance.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Drop by Ponting

 

[infamous9383]

dropped by ponting

 

[Sean]

Punter Ponting has dropped him. It was a tough chance but by Punter's standards, he should have taken that.

 

[Oxy]

Ponting drops a sitter (by his standards)

 

[Oxy]

Paddy O'Wides is the top scorer!

 

[ThaSiccSense]

No ball, Tait is trying to bowl the longest over ever.

 

[Rob H]

Tait bowls yet another wide.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Wide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Three, over finally completed

 

[Sean]

What a looong and drawn out over.
3 wides and a no ball this over. Yet another wide. 4 wides now.
I expect Clark to come on now after McGrath's next over.
3 runs off the final ball. The over is finally over! HOORAY!

 

[infamous9383]

loooooooooong over for tait.

 

[Sean]

When's the next wicket gonna come? We have waited too long.

 

[inane]

Ha ha ha, love it.
