Pakistan tour of Ireland, England and Scotland (3 Tests, 2 T20Is)

[The Speaker]

There'll be about 100 overs of play scheduled. Plenty of time for any result to happen.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Great comeback from ireland! Really holding their own after a shaky (probably quite nervous) first innings.

 

[KingNothing]

Have followed Ireland very closely since the 2007 World Cup and was so pumped when they got test status. I remember watching in bed, in awe as Kevin O'Brien went ballistic and slayed England in 2011, and considering this innings came from the same player shows his maturity and ability as a batsman.

If they can get 180 ahead or bat until lunch they'll definitely have given themselves a fighting chance to steal something special.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Great showing by Ireland and Kevin O'Brien so far. They have a real chance

 

[sherb]

O'Brien you idiot.

Great innings though.

 

[Cleavy]

KO'B out in the 2nd over of the day, to his 1st ball of the day.

Going for the big shot through covers.

Apparently it didn't occur to him to play himself in again.

Nor to acknowledge the applause of his teammates or the crowd who appreciated what his contribution was and meant.

If there is one thing which annoys me with cricketers it's not acknowledging the crowd applause after a brilliant knock.

 

[Kyptastic]

Pakilapse is on

Cmon Ireland!!

Edit. 3 down!!!!!

 

[Cleavy]

Pakistan 2/13 chasing 160.

He was clearly devastated by the shot he just played. You're being a tad harsh.

 

[corbies]

Murtagh is a class bowler.

 

[Pykie]

Pakistan visited the bookies again it seems.

 

[Pykie]

Murtagh is a class bowler.

Anderson/Philander lite. in these conditions.

 

[Rob]

Holy crap! Pakis on the ropes

 

[Bwillow11]

Pakistan is actually going to lose.

 

[Cleavy]

new ball wicket they said. Ireland delivering the goods.

 

[PhatBoy]

Pakistan visited the bookies again it seems.

They’ve got 3 recognised batsmen in their side and they’re playing in the most un-Pakistan/UAE conditions they could find. Think it’s a bit less conspiratorial than that.

 

[KingNothing]

Geed as ****. Do this Ireland!

 

[Bwillow11]

Why on earth did Sarfraz make Ireland follow on? The lead wasn’t enough for it to be truly enforced, in the end the bowlers were tired and let the match slip.

Probably not, but it is good to see the new guys competitive straight away despite the lack of proper pathway. The Intercontinental Cup is one thing, but they (and Afghanistan, and probably Scotland) should have been getting FC games against "A" sides and professional teams for the last couple of years as well.

 

[NSWCROW]

OMG lol
