lapal_fan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Nice one Ireland! Happy for Porterfield, he was doing okay until his out, d'oh! moment from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 yep have to feel for Javed and Anwar a bit, played blinders, and also lost their most potent bowler to injury as well. No wins at a WC since 1996, and you can't believe the powers that be want to reduce the number of associate teams next time round. So stupid.

PaulC Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Nice one Ireland! Happy for Porterfield, he was doing okay until his out, d'oh! moment from him. Still has to do better for me though. He's experienced and the captain he should be going on an making bigger scores and not having to rely on the lower order to pull Ireland through.

But 37 is the epitome of average, so at least he hasn't embarrassed himself, unlike our England captain [emoji1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 can't believe the powers that be want to reduce the number of associate teams next time round. So stupid. This. Good result for Ireland and even if they don't progress they'll have done well in this world cup. The matches are getting good press in Ireland so its good exposure for the game here.

lapal_fan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sri Lanka whoopin' some ass today.. England should be worried, if we play as we normally do, we're going to get a right tonking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Sri Lanka v Bangladesh is no contest though. They are used to playing them. I'm not worried. We have to turn and play good cricket and we can beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Congratulations to Andy Moles and the Afghanistan team. He's doing a fantastic job there and this result will do wonders for the morale of the people over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The potential of the biggest defeat in a WC between Windies/SA right now. De Villiers is a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I wonder what goes through AB de Villiers' head, when ever he sees he's playing against the Windies next? Must be like what any goalkeeper feels like, when they realise they're about to play Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 De Villiers really is an incredible batsman, absolutely superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 He is brilliant but these innings are becoming too frequent for my liking. They need to readjust the rules again I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It seems to me that South Africa's hopes of winning this tournament rests entirely on AB's shoulders. He's up there with the greats of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 yet he only seems to get big world cup knocks against West Indies a powderpuff attack, he was average at best in first 2 games and probably will for rest of tournament unless they play West Indies again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 He's proved he can score runs against any attack in the world so I wouldn't write him off for the rest of the tournament. I just think he's so crucial. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
