I could let these dreamkillers kill my self esteem or use the arrogance as the steam to follow my dream
I reckon 280 is still on the cards here.

they can't lose any more wickets and need to smash ten an over for that to happen, which I think is unlikely

Sammy's lower back appears to be bothering him. Mooney might have pulled a hamstring or have a cramp or something.

I kind of miss having runners in cricket, it was just the most awkward solution to the problem. A guy standing at square leg, kitted out in the exact same way as the batsmen because having a hat vs a helmet is such a huge advanntage. Then the umpires trying to decide if a guy was run out even though he is 20 metres away from the stumps.

Windies will probably pile on enough here to win, which is a shame.

I love that the venue DJ apparently believes U2 is the only Irish band ever.

Who the hell is picking this music? Also, more like Collapso Cricket

"Calypso cricket" was a derogatory term until the late 70s, and "calypso collapso" would be bandied around.

At least according to this doco, which is cool if you haven't seen it. I note Indian fans are downvoting it because of the 30 seconds it spends talking about an Indian loss.

Your starting XI are the only players allowed to bat or bowl; but you can have sub fielders. In the recent past you used to be able to bring on someone to run for a batsman who could bat but not run, but they ditched that which was a shame because it was always funny.

Ireland have the batting to get 260-270 against this West Indies bowling attack IMO; especially if Sammy isn't planning on bowling.

I figured it was derived from calypso but I hope I wasn't accidentally racist :(

It started well with some quality comedy songs after the first few wickets, but it has gone way downhill real fast since then. At least we've only had to suffer the one Bryan Adams song.

The Windies total is going to look way better than it should given how poor some of this bowling from O'Brien has been.
