The Cricket thread

[Main Street]

For someone like me who just enjoys watching Cricket on tv, looking at the BBC highlights don't do it for me. Better than nothing, but they just don't capture the subtle and not so subtle moments of tension and pressure building up. I'd gladly watch the whole game. In fact I'd have to watch the whole game to have an idea of the defining moments.
I enjoyed the slower burn of the 50 over WC finals.

India win toss and put us into bat

[Gabriel_Hurl]

this isn't good

[Gabriel_Hurl]

if they could get 100 - maybe a chance? 

[Gabriel_Hurl]

112 - respectable after the early collapse - not enough though 

[magickingdom]

what would be considered a good score? 150-200? how many batters do india have to score 113? How are batters got out?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

150-160 is a good 20/20

Ireland have to get 10 Indians out for less than 112 runs

[Gabriel_Hurl]

India need 75 from 78 balls

[muppet]

150-160 is a good 20/20

Ireland have to get 10 Indians out for less than 112 runs

Fianna Fail should bowl for us.

it's no problem - it's not that hard once you grasp the basic rules - and can be very entertaining to watch (well the limited overs stuff anyway)

Ireland about to start bowling at the Kiwis in game one of the group. If Ireland need to win two games to advance, this will have to be one of the two.

Boyd Rankin (Famous for being in the same parish as Tyrone kingpins Owen Roes) rested.
