[infamous9383]

England won the toss and elected to bat first

this was supposed to be England vs Pakistan

 

[Shayan]

England 6-0 after 1 over. Vaughan off the mark with a nice 4 through mid-wicket. Some early swing for the Irish

 

[Shayan]

Joyce bowled!!!

 

[HAFRIDI]

haha

 

[Shayan]

6-1, Misjudgement by Joyce.... left it and ball hit off stump!!

 

[infamous9383]

joyce bowled remenicent of Mohammad Asif delivery to Ed Joyce in odi series against Eng last year

 

[Genghis]

Wow ... Ireland keeping it tight

 

[Rob H]

cover drive and 4 for Bell. Lovely stroke.

 

[Oxy]

23-2 off 5.2

Vaughan - GONE

 

[infamous9383]

vaughn gone and Botham continues to tell us why its not his day. AGAIN

 

[Lara400]

23-2 off 5.2

Vaughan - GONE

He is so crap went it comes to one day cricket. He truly is rubbish.

When last did he hit a fifty in a meaningul game....seriously.

I consistently predict he will not score more than 20 odd and he never fails me.

Absolute Rubbish.

 

[Genghis]

Another one bites the dust!!! Vaughan gone once again!!!

Absolute Rubbish.

He scored a fifty in the warm up game against Aus ... oh whoops you said meaningful!

 

[jackal786]

After all pakistan didn't lose to a bad side. Their front line bowling is as good as any. When you compare the way Pollock is being manhandled by Hayden, Jayasuriya .. Ranken looks far better.

 

[Oxy]

Jeez - nearly 3 down!

So England won the toss?? And they batted!

 

[infamous9383]

aamir sohail on.

 

[Oxy]

aamir sohail on.

I've enjoyed listening to Aamir Sohail - so much better than Raja saab

 

[Lara400]

aamir sohail on.

It only gets better.

 

[Rob H]

26/2 off 7. My my we are playing crap.

 

[OZGOD]

What a waste of points Vaughan has been for me.

 

[Lara400]

I've enjoyed listening to Aamir Sohail - so much better than Raja saab

I wouldn't go as far as calling him Saab.

 

[OZGOD]

Go the Celts! Hammer those Saxons!

 

[Rob H]

I'll take wides at the moment.

 

[Rob H]

over 3rd slip for 4 by Bell. Lucky stuff

 

[Lara400]

Gosh we must be desperate for cricket if we are following England Vs Ireland.

Sorry no offence meant to English or Irish fans.

Anyway I'm dead bored at work...and my manager might be observing my fast typing skills

 

[Rob H]

36/2 off 8. Better over that one.

 

[Genghis]

Well I think most of us were expecting to be showing more interest in this game ... I mean really this should have been England Vs Pakistan if we played to our potential.

I was waiting for that one, and I don't have an answer to it either.

I have an answer in French though..

[Rob H]

[Uzzy]

time to bump up the thread "is saeed anwar's record in danger"

The guy is only on 30. Lets wait until he makes a hundred. If he makes a hundred that is.

 

[Lara400]

aamir sohail calls kevin petersen kevin paterson

Is he saying it in Afrikaans?

 

[Rob H]

73/2 off 15.

 

[Phuzz]

Pieterson is looking good. If he can stay in, I think England would be looking at 300 plus. Ireland don't look anything at all on this surface apart from the first few overs.

 

[12thMan]

Eng 85-2 after 20 overs

 

[infamous9383]

Kevin O'brien strikes. Bell gone opening up the face of the bat but gets a nick to the keeper.

Rubbish and unconvincing performance by Eng so far - sure they will win, but poor.

The swearing by the Irish is poor - lots of F's and B's throughout the inngs.

Dont really hear that from the Big Boys

 

[Oxy]

Nixon gone - but aint walking!

 

[Oxy]

Benefit of doubt given -Nixon survives

 

[12thMan]
