What's new

Ireland win fifth ODI by 12 runs against Afghanistan and tie the series 2-2

So Ed Joyce scores 160 but still they put on just 265? This must be some kind of a record
 
Afghanistan gone.YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's you should never get conceited unless you have achieved something

AFG, ZIM, IRE are within 3 points of each other in the rankings table. 49 to 43 points from 10th to 12th.

What have the UAE achieved in cricket? Has the UAE beaten any full member in any format ever?

Haha not really, I can own up and accept when the better team wins, as long as cheating isnt involved :P

Fantastic ton by Joyce but I'd be lying if I said our reliance on him in particular isnt starting to worry me.

Good job, I thought it'll be a close Series & Ireland has a better chance for medium score matches. Should have won it 3-1 though, but goofed-up the 2nd ODI.

I dont know how much control CI have with wickets but some lately have baffled me.

What do Ireland do best on? Wickets with a bit of seam and swing to cover our bowling deficiencies. Against SL we got complete belters and in the 2nd and 4th ODI we got surfaces that span quite a bit, playing right into the Afghans hands. 3rd ODI we got a good track for our strengths, and won comfortably in the end, today was more flat, but still, spin wasnt an issue hence we did well enough.

Alright result I guess, gained some ranking points but remain #12.

The return series in India next year is gonna be fun with all this controversy haha.
