Struggling now

SLIGONIAN · June 14, 2009, 02:42:01 PM

Getting the run rate down 101-4 after 15 overs, lost our way about from 7 to 10 over but now looking good again.

Rossie11 · June 14, 2009, 02:48:12 PM

128-6 great stuff
Have a chance if they can survive early onslaught from bowlers

is there any reason why O'Brien doesn't bring on a runner if he is injured?

Rossie11 · June 14, 2009, 04:09:19 PM

Need 70 from 42 balls. Time to start slogging it

Norf Tyrone · June 14, 2009, 04:32:07 PM

6 wickets down and run rate at 15ish. Not going to happen now unfortunately.

Good performance, that brings a wee bit of pride back, but Ireland lacking that class act like a Pietersen to generate quick, big, runs.

Norf Tyrone · June 14, 2009, 04:45:25 PM

Sri Lanka won by 9 runs.
Excellent performance by Ireland.

Rossie11 · June 14, 2009, 04:47:34 PM

Good performance.
The ball dropped for 4 in 20th over and OBriens injury cost them another few runs. Could have been closer with a bit more luck
