We'll crush the Guinness-drinking Leprechauns even with a third-string team sent across the Irish Sea for this game.

I'm sorry to say I doubt it'll finish, storm forecast to arrive at 12pm or so

Game could've been played yesterday no issue, and tomorrows weather is dry too

I'm hoping we get any sort of game in tbh, nearly 10000 tickets were sold and it'd be a huge shame if all the effort went into getting the stadium set up was to be in vain

England win the toss and will bowl. Gonna be tough for batting with all the clouds and overnight drizzle.

Young FINALLY selected, problem is he won even get to bowl if weather is correct

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Absolutely love that Irish jersey

42-3

This is arguably a stronger England side than the WC mob.

It is actually IMO.

Pitch is a total greentop though, every time anything remotely flashy has been attempted its been a wicket.

Shame the game wont finish, even if we put up something like 150 it would've been interesting to see how Englands new batsmen did on a tough pitch.

Ireland gets so much rain coming off the Atlantic. Ah well, less for us!

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Even more annoying thing is had this been held in Stormont (like the Aus game in August will) we'd get a full game in.

 

[MarkCooper]

Niall O'Brien said yesterday Ireland are favourites for this match.

“Without being too cocky, if you line us up against them, I’d say we are favourites,"

 

[MarkCooper]

Game abandoned.

Ticket holders should take their tickets to the box office for a full refund.

 

[MarkCooper]

Wow. Cricket Ireland is not covered by the ticket protection guarantee that the ECB home games are.

No refunds for the game!

Match abandoned due to rain

It could have been interesting if Ireland had somehow managed to make 200. 200 on that pitch would have been tough

England starting well without their captain who has his priorities quite clear. Because flogging a few trundlers in a domestic t20 league will help him against international level bowling in odi's. Says IPL ambassador at large Kevin 'it's difficult being me' Pietersen
