    Ireland currently playing Bangladesh and were on course for a great start with a win but the loss of Joyce just there now a real hammerblow now 75-3,still a 50/50 game with Ireland needing 130 runs from about 200 balls,very gettable if they dont lose the head.

    ps Theres been nearly €10m traded on the match betting on the game alone on Betfair,serious stuff:cool:

    Required rate of 3.73 per over with 5 wickets in hand. Tight but doable?? Hopefully.

    Seems to be the story of the Irish lads. Often bowl very well, only to fail to get over the line with the bat

    England 150-2 after 25 overs. looking ominous enough for the Irish lads. England are 1/100 in running :D

    Has been as high as 120 but still around 75 mark now.Im backing it as if Niall O Brien gets loose with the bat and some luck he could rack up the 6s and they'll trade far shorter,a bet to nothing is 75s good chance they'll hit 30s in running and you get a potential profit of 200 for nothing for the stake of a flim..

    Fair dues to Joyce and Stirling,Ireland need more than a run a ball and even with the loss of a wicket the lads on strike are within range of whats required.No Panic for Engerland yet but if this partnership puts a ton on the board it will be squeaky bum time.After our front 5 batsmen its history.
