Atta bhoy Stirling - he just creamed Collingwood for a six. 
Fucking A…
Take that ye E&W shower of Cunts…
Great stuff. Latest score please.
65-3. botha just gone lbw swann
We need another 50 from 10.5 overs. 7 wickets in hand.
Fuck. Stirling gone - tame catch and bowl to Rashid apparently.
We should be able to get the runs in the required time, it’s the amount of wickets falling that’s beginning to concern me.
hmmm that is a concern. I’m off to get a DART now, hopefully they’ll have the game on the big screen at Pearse.
48 needed from 60 balls.
COME ON THE FUCKING IRELAND.

we’re running out of batsmen
kevin o’brien could save the day with a handy 20-or-so, but it feels like the ante has been upped in the last 2 overs and even the clock won’t rescue ireland.
Bandage, can you explain what is meant by “4 leg byes”?
we just get a 4 off a lucky bounce from Mooney’s pads?
just about 7 overs left
39 runs required
some loose deliveries led to easy singles there

Pretty much. Ball has to be hit a players bat for runs to be attributed to him. Otherwise it gets put down to byes, wides erc
82-4 after 14 ovs
34 to win
run rate dropping steadily
Irelands run rate has collapsed in last few overs. We need to get some runs fast here.
John Mooney shouldn’t be batting this high up the order. I said it during the Twenty20 too - White, TJ etc should all be batting ahead of him. 7 from 18 balls in what’s effectively a 20 over match now is too slow. He can’t get the ball off the wicket, it seems. Surprised at Kev O’Brien’s slow progress too. We have the wickets in hand to have a slog in the last few overs though.
O brien gone. Johnston to see us home?
Johnston, Mooney and O’Brien to deliver the goods?
TJ to be the hero with both ball and bat on his 100th cap?
30 needed from 30 balls.
