Jofra Archer debuts for England!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nearly everytime there is a match in Ireland there is a delay.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England bowling.

Nearly everytime there is a match in Ireland there is a delay.

Is Irish weather is just the worst of the English weather and none of the decent?

Their draining system is so bad. It hasn't even rained today. The rain was from yesterday.

Archer debut

 

[Ronaldo7]

England's bowling may be the reason they lose this wc. Batting is world class but bowling is about par.

 

[Mueez]

Archer is going to trouble Fakhar with his short pitched bowling.

 

[JattMaula]

Archer getting warmed up.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

with in the rules of the game, but a bit unfair "cheating"..

 

[Markhor]

Ireland need some youngsters - the same names have been playing for well over a decade.

[Ronaldo7]

Lol at England's batting. 46/3. But to their defence Roy and Bairstow aren't playing.

 

[Ronaldo7]

4 down now. Still favourites but at least it's not one sided.

 

[Ronaldo7]

5 down. LOLOLOL

 

[AFM]

England learning from Pakistan. Be a complete joke just before an ICC tournament and find form during it

 

[aloo paratha]

5 down. Who's still in favour of a 10 team world cup?

Roy isn't even in good form.

 

[Ronaldo7]

5 down. Who's still in favour of a 10 team world cup?

Ireland has always been a good "upsetter".
Beat pak in 2007, beat eng in 2011 i think and beat wi in 2015. Don't know why they are not in this wc.

Spirit of Cricket taking it out on England

Karma's a b...

 

[MenInG]

Good for Pakistan as puts some doubts in England planning!

 

[Ronaldo7]

David willey will be the key here. He's a decent bat.

 

[Markhor]

Needless off the field controversies ? Check.
Wildly inconsistent ? Check.
Making a meal of playing a lower ranked nation ? Check.

England are the new Pakistan these days.

 

[Saj]

Super fielding team Ireland.

England struggling at the moment.

 

[Saj]

101 for 6

This guy Little has decent pace.

 

[Green Patriot]

England might lose this.
They need an amazing partnership.

 

[Ronaldo7]

101 for 6

This guy Little has decent pace.

4 wickets on debut is just amazing. Still has 4 overs left.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Good for Pakistan as puts some doubts in England planning!

Never mind
Arthur will still comes up with same old lame excuse
"We are still learning "
"Our team is still young"
"We are getting their" n many more
Looking forward for yasir shah 100 btw

 

[Mainul]

It's a pity that Ireland isn't playing in world cup.

 

[AFM]

Just bowl out Little

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ireland have only themselves to blame if they go on to lose this game having them 101-6 at one stage.

England playing deep till No.11 shows how they are ranked No.1 in the world.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England will take this right down to the last over unless Archer and Plunkett have different ideas.

 

[AFM]

Bad captaincy. Should have bowled out Little when he was in that spell. If the game went the full distance, it was an England win. No need to save overs for the death.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even these 2 at the crease can finish it off too.

Well played Ben Foakes on debut.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bad captaincy. Should have bowled out Little when he was in that spell. If the game went the full distance, it was an England win. No need to save overs for the death.

That is true as Little had 4 wickets and was bowling well putting England on the backfoot, should have bowled him out.

Impressed the Englishmen with this debut performance. I bet the ECB are drawing up a new contract for him as we speak

 

[introvert]

Good responsible debut knock from foakes . Lovely batsman to watch.
Solid performance from tom curran as well.

 

[aloo paratha]

Icc still has time to rethink 2023. Please expand the world Cup.

 

[Ronaldo7]

They didn't take the review when foakes was lbw , which probably cost them the game. It was clearly out.
