T20 Ireland v England start time

[Boo]

That is abysmal. They wouldn’t have made that target.

 

[McGregor]

All over. What an absolute mess by England that was.

In fairness England would have went on to win that, had they finished the over or the match.

But the decision to field first knowing rain was forecast has fucked England over there.

Two World Cup matches ruined by the rain so far, and there will be more to come.

 

[Silly Point]

Absolute shambles. Mott needs to walk for this alone. Put me in a foul mood for the day now

Plan would always be to field first, get ahead of the rate and then just knock it around. Issue is we bowled like donkeys and then lost 3 wickets early.

 

[Aidan11]

We play like T20 in tests and test cricket in T20s.

Shambles.

 

[cooky]

Surely the message has to be relayed to Malan and brook that rain was around and not to get so far behind on dls? Just knocked it around for 5 an over for half an hour.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Thought they just had to turn up to win.

Woakes and Malan were both dreadful and offered absolutely nowt.

 

[Thunder Road]

Really hate picking players out but that innings from Malan was awful.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Shocking from Malan and Brook like

 

[eddyfinn]

Absolutely pathetic, bowling was terrible and again we meandered on like the first game. Changes to the team required

 

[Aidan11]

Woakes is Ireland's Man of the Match.

 

[SAFC11]

Poor bowling, and no timing by any of the first 4 batters

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Fail to see what Stokes brings to the team. Picking him currently can only be on reputation and leadership. He’s doing nothing with bat or ball.
It’s a bit daft that they could’ve completed the over and we’d have won though. A bit convenient.

 

[I am Boss]

Malan the go to batter for stick before Stokes is a strange one

 

[SuperSub]

Why are we even playing a world cup in Australia in October? Surely an international tournament should be played in peak summer months, it's like playing cricket in England in March

Didn’t watch today but his bowling figures in both games have been good

He always is when things go wrong for some despite contributing far more than most for years in this format. I question more the lack of messaging on to the pitch to him and Brook than him not timing the ball well.

 

[seaham ftm]

Send Mott back to wimen coaching.

We only needed 7.5 p/o when he came in 3rd ball so a run a ball while wickets are tumbling just to get a base score on the board is not a terrible thing

I blame county cricket
