6 wicket down

 

[saiyan0312]

48 from 43. need to bat with sense.

 

[Zero]

Ireland collapsing here.
Can Wilson guide them to a victory?

 

[Gangnam]

West Indies cricket has become a joke, they should dissolve the team and let all the players become freelancers. There is no pride left for the national team in the Caribbean.
Such a shame really, a country with such a rich cricketing history destroyed by a listless generation.

West Indies is not a country nor a nation. Get your facts straight. Even if you were born in Jamaica the only motivation for you to play for the Windies would be money. Before attacking the players get the facts right, the only way you can improve cricket in the Caribbean is dissolve the West Indies and allow them to compete as sovereign Nations.

[saiyan0312]

Wilson gone.

Cusack has a good record though, can he see Ireland through?

Its counted as a country. They pick the best out of the Caribbean but sorry to say but there is simply no talent coming through. People like bravo are unlucky

West Indies beat Ireland by 11 runs

WI made 96/9 off of their 20 overs and in reply Ireland could only make 85/8

One thing I have to point out is that the commentary was an absolute disgrace. The Ireland captains name was pronounced incorrectly about 3 dozen times, ireland were referred to as minnows constantly (after beating WI 2 days earlier) and apparently Ireland dont qualify as a "high class" country. I know their was little preparation but it was an incredibly insulting experience as an Irish fan.

Shame about the batting but congrats to the Windies on their win. Wilson top scored for Ireland with 35 but reckless shots and good bowling cost us the game. Fletcher top scored for the West Indies with 19.

The series ended 1-1

The final game, an ODI, is on Sunday and will also be streamed.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Unlucky Ireland still a 1-1 series tie mean's a lot for them.

Pitch must have been tough looking at the scores.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rubbish commentary.

Porterfield was referred to as 'Portersfield' a hundred times too"

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Rubbish commentary.

It was beyond rubbish. It was disgraceful. Referred to as "minnows" as well. Watching the batting implode was bad enough but the commentary was just surreal.

 

[London_Lahori]

What was up with the pitch?

 

[hadi123]

wow very flat pitch west indies were lucky cos they played so awful

 

[leatherface58]

Must have been one rubbish pitch. Want to see :6 and :4 in T20 not this boring, turgid mess.

Not surprised at this drivel. Of course I know it's a group of islands, not one country. However, they represent one country in international cricket.
That's how it has been throughout history. Barbados and st. Lucia don't play international cricket; West Indies does so there's no question of lacking motivation or pride.
