5th Match, Pool B: Ireland v West Indies - IRELAND WON BY 4 WICKETS

[TheParraboy]

Wonder if this game will be real close?

If Gayle tees off could be a slaughter

Starts 9am AEDT

 

[TheParraboy]

Ireland won toss and sent WI in to bat

WI 2/52 16 overs

Gayle 22* (49 balls)

 

[abpanther]

WI two down

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Windies are crraawwllliinngg along. 40/2 after 10 overs wasn't a great start, but 14-0 off the next 7 with Gayle at the crease is pretty rare.

 

[Big Sam]

If Ireland can keep them to <250, they're a massive chance.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

and two balls later Gayle hits a six. That'd be right.

 

[TheParraboy]

Gayle out 36 (65)

WI 3/78 in the 22nd over

 

[TheParraboy]

Make that 4/78

Carn Ireland

 

[Eddie Rattlehead]

WI 4/78 go the Irish !!!

Dockrell to Samuels, OUT, Dockrell on fire at Nelson! Samuels is struck in line as he hangs on the back foot, with the umpire, after giving some thought, deciding he had to go. Samuels straight away reviews

Dockrell to Samuels, no run, darted in on middle and leg as this is fended to the leg side

The Irish contingent in the stands are celebrating hard with the exit of the big Jamaican. The new batsman is Denesh Ramdin

21.2


Dockrell to Gayle, OUT, the pressure finally gets to Gayle as he looks to go big over cow corner, but doesn't quite get a hold of this one as he ends up finding the fielder before the rope, who takes a comfortable catch. Big, big breakthrough for Ireland, and Gayle has to go after his 36

[Eddie Rattlehead]

WI 5/87 now

If this Dockrell bloke keeps bowling like this the poms will turn him into a Englishman.

Irish players turning Pom's isn't always that bad.

At least they don't need to carry Morgan...

 

[Timbo]

Windies are getting hosed.

Ireland aren't even close to full strength either.

He's already played for England 'A'.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Ireland need to be given test match status. They have more future potential than some current test playing nations.

 

[JJ]

The Windies just sadden me these days, given what I grew up watching this is a tragedy... how could so much go wrong...

 

[Eddie Rattlehead]

He's already played for England 'A'.

Hope he sticks with the Irish, surely they can't be to far from getting test status.

Random question - why does Ireland have a Cricket Ireland flag on websites when every other country has their flag?
