The top teams can manage 100 off the last 10 overs (Australia recently hit 111 off the last 10 overs against New Zealand).
Surely even a team as limited as Ireland can manage another 53.

There goes my prediction!!! The wickets are tumbling.

Encouraging performance though. Augurs well for the Zimbabwe and West Indies matches.

Up to Mooney/Mooney to forge a 36 run partnership from 6 overs!

I won't admit to knowing a whole pile about this Ireland team but having done a bit of research on them in advance of the World Cup I understand that batting is supposed to be the tream's strength and it's the ball they struggle with.
Anyone got any educated opinions? ONeill, you seem well versed.....

ONeill

Target = 193 in 50 overs; Current rate = 3.55; Required rate = 6.17

Haven't much of a clue about this Irish team. Never seen them play.

Linkbox - that is correct.

They lack depth in their bowling - and their batting is at least respectable.

They'll be hard pushed to get a win in the group stages - but it's a good sign for the future

Let's hope Eoin Morgan doesn't pull an "Ed Joyce" though

ONeill

All out - 157.
