England vs Ireland | WC'11 | Group B | Bangalore | 02/03/11

[sazz]

This reminds me of Yusuf Pathan's innings against Newzealand.

 

[Sledger]

If England lose this, they could struggle in this group. A tie with India and a close game against Netherlands already hasn't helped their points/NRR.

 

[Amjid Javed]

85 needed off 78 balls now.

 

[Indiafan]

O'Brien needs 16 runs from 24 balls to break the record for the fastest WC century.

He might even break Afridi's 45 ball 100

 

[Khabri420]

Game on boys, game on!

 

[TNA]

yes paul collingwood

the best in the business of bowling pie chuckers

 

[Amjid Javed]

England need to get anderson back on to finish the game off quickly

 

[Warfare]

Lol went through his legs.

 

[malakian]

Just bowl yorkers at him ffs, he can't smack them for 6

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hundred to come up this over, surely?

 

[Watsupdoc]

RRR down to 6.6

 

[Sledger]

Probably a good move to bring Collingwood on.

 

[James]

a maiden ball from Collingwood

 

[Watsupdoc]

England need to get anderson back on to finish the game off quickly

In which sense?

 

[Sir john]

Reqd Rate - 6.63

 

[ScotRaz]

NEVER underestimate GINGER POWER

 

[strongman123]

If they dont get KOB out Ireland win simple as really

 

[Sledger]

Strauss should grow a pair and bring some more fielders up, Collingwood is a bowler you need to time more.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

O'Brien needs 9 runs from 22 balls to break the record for the fastest WC century.

 

[KingKhanWC]

As Shastri has just said, they could just knock these off in one's and two's now.

 

[pak4life]

if they dont panic they could do this 6 run on this docile pitch should be easy from here.

 

[mastermind_quad]

huge roar from crowd whenever KOB on strike

 

[James]

If England lose this, they could struggle in this group. A tie with India and a close game against Netherlands already hasn't helped their points/NRR.

woahhhhhh. we're still favourites.

 

[Sledger]

O'Brien, 91 (43)
Cusack 31 (43)

)

 

[Markhor]

O'Brien needs 9 runs from 22 balls to break the record for the fastest WC century.

Sounds like a job for Sir Tuks-a-lot

 

[strongman123]

Just singles and one boundary an over should see them through, I hope it goes down to the wire.

 

[CricnPak]

NEVER underestimate GINGER POWER

mixed with some blonde and purple lol

 

[James]

As Shastri has just said, they could just knock these off in one's and two's now.

they won't, they're not streetwise enough

if they win, it will be in boundaries

 

[TNA]

As Shastri has just said, they could just knock these off in one's and two's now.

Kevin has other ideas. He wants to deal in boundaries ONLY. what a legend he is.

 

[CricnPak]

Dropped by Strauss

[ScotRaz]

Stauss has just dropped the match!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good over from Colly

 

[TNA]

Andrew Strauss may have just dropped the match

 

[Markhor]

Tough chance spilled,Strauss had to make a lot of ground there.

 

[mastermind_quad]

is captain dropped the match ??

 

[Sledger]

Afridi's 45 ball hundred will stay in tact.

 

[iZeeshan]

Match-fixing anyone!?

:sbutt

 

[Gotham Cronie]

O'Brien needs 7 runs from 20 balls to break the record for the fastest WC century.

 

[Sir john]

IRE need 80 runs in 72 balls

 

[Warfare]

This isn't the time to copy Pakistan

 

[Watsupdoc]

Anderson is the key here...

and Strauss

 

[mastermind_quad]

 

[Markhor]

Match-fixing anyone!?

:sbutt

There is talk in bookie circles

 

[Markhor]

by Yardy

 

[Sledger]

Yardy is like a typical 90s England cricketer. LOL, selection fail.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

O'Brien needs 7 runs from 20 balls to break the record for the fastest WC century.

O'Brien needs 7 runs from 2 balls for the 5th fastest century overall.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

require RR is only 6.66 !!! IRE need to go easy from here.

 

[mastermind_quad]

250 up KOB on strike

 

[KingKhanWC]

250 up.

Come on King Kev.

 

[Krishnan]

Lol these english commies full day defending their side.When they were batting heaping praises on trott,bell.When bowlign and fielding telling "They must have been tired due to aus series","They have a very good bowling unit,just not clicking",as soon as catch dropped defended strauss.

 

[AZ]

2 dot balls to follow.

1 bounce to long-off, single.

250 for Ireland

 

[iRfaN_LA]

There is loud and clear talk in bookie circles

fixed

 

[Sledger]

250 is up.

 

[Watsupdoc]

38.1
Yardy to Cusack, 1 wide, Yardy's line is leg and legger. This one shows too much leg



250 up

 

[TNA]

Kevin has played 100 dot balls and still managed to have that kind of strike rate. What a legend.

 

[Markhor]

In the air.One bounce to long-off.

 

[James]

at least there can be no more denial after this. changes are inevitable.

 

[Amjid Javed]

How costly will strauss drop be now?

 

[AZ]

Dropped!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Lol these english commies full day defending their side.When they were batting heaping praises on trott,bell.When bowlign and fielding telling "They must have been tired due to aus series","They have a very good bowling unit,just not clicking",as soon as catch dropped defended strauss.

who is the commentator? Bumble and Nasser hussain are pretty good. Ian Botham sucks big time.

 

[Sledger]

103.6ks, Real gutsy stuff from Yardy.

 

[TNA]

touch and DROPPED

 

[Warfare]

Though chance.

 

[Sledger]

Dropped again, missed the caught and bowled.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dropped again.

tough one though but should have swallowed it.

Ireland losing a bit of momentum here.

 

[Jo_Don]

I'm loving this, go Ireland!

 

[Krishnan]

Again defending lol.-"Yardy normally very good of his own bowling"
