I really like de Kock, it's a shame he's having such a poor tournament.

I wasn't watching the start of this one, just listening to the radio broadcast - did he look as unsettled as his past few innings? All the radio announcers talked about was how hard it was to read Ireland's numbers.

It's a pity for Ireland that Manuka is such a road. All minnow vs non-minnow matches should be played on minefields imo

You know, it's probably worth it to just try to kill the runs and not get wickets so that AB doesn't get shot at this attack.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Dunno I think 10 an over for 30 overs is probably too much.

No they just need more than two loving pools and more than one or two games a day.

20 teams, four pools, four games per day, allow a week between pool games and quarter finals for games that need to be rescheduled instead of rained off. Whole thing over much faster.

I don't where you're from but that is absolutely untrue. I know American travellers who put Canadian flags on their travel packs so they're more likely welcomed by locals (most people can't tell their accents apart).

Back to the cricket, it's great to see the Irish tail wag a bit.

In the pre-Harper days, anyway.

EDIT: Well at least Ireland made it halfway.
