Pieterson's SR -> 105.12, hardly stagnated is it
Thks. Am watching live run updates on my PC at work. like watching paint dry!
That's bad news - Pietersen only had to face 9 balls from the last 5 overs. I'd have preferred to keep Bell there all day and restrict the run rate. At a strike rate of under 42, that would have worked out as a target to chase somewhere around 175/180.
I'd rather see Ireland try to keep a low scorer on strike and restrict the runs than end up with Pietersen and Flintoff coming out swinging!
Wonder if the pitch will accept some spin from Kyle.
97/3 off 23 overs
Need to get one of these Out quickly.
Pietersen out c Porterfield b McCallan 48
117/4 :) off 27.1
What did I say :D
Flintoff can be poor or brilliant, which one will come up.
Hope Boyd is alright :eek:
Dave LS has struggled so far, hopefully he can be better.
We need to restrict them to under 220. We must bowl them out before the 50 overs.
D/L method at the moment would predict a score of 240 for England after 50 overs.
That would make for a very tight game - I think both teams would fancy their chances at that - As was mentioned, under 220 gives Ireland a really good shout
Roughly what time will Ireland commence batting?
roughly in an hour's time
Have we made 200 yet so far? I think this is slipping away from us but we're still have a chance.Quote:

Pretty sure we broke 200 against Zimbabwe. The Pakistan game was on very much a bowler's wicket by the looks of it too.
*edit* Flintoff gone! 194/5.
266 for 7 (50.0)
Can't see Ireland matching that TBH :(
That's more than enough for England. Collingwood hauled them out of the soup. I don't think Johnston was fit enough to play, and certainly not to bowl ten overs.
