You really think you want to buy the hard drive? Don't forget to post the transaction ID /s

In a serious note, read some of the responses above, especially the one from Stunna.

Guys England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland are like some major cities in a country LOL

You do not need visa and passport to go from one state to another. It's like the stats in USA. I think there needs to be only one team. Team Britain.

Anyway back to the match, England has a careful start in their 2nd innings. They are still 101 runs behind but they still have 10 wickets left. I think if England can score can give a 150+ runs lead to chase for Ireland then game on. I do not think Ireland will be able to score more than 150 runs in the 4th innings. It's always hard to bat in 4th innings.

Thanks Zwei to consider this delay to update the sig, avatar and personal text. Everything is set now and the post count including this is: 2837

Appreciate it a lot.

Cheers :-)

Note: Avatar will take some times to reflect.

Thank you Cyberdice and oneHash of course. Since time is up, I will be removing the sig, avatar and personal text shortly after posting this. Let's keep this post as the reference of wearing the campaign sig until now. I will update with an archive link shortly.

That timeless Test must be a fun. The boat won eventually I guess :-P

By the way, I was asking for the nation to win a test match in shortest waiting time after they get the Test status :-) I think Sri Lanka had to wait a decade or something to get the taste of a Test win.

Back to the current test, Ireland just lost their first wicket. 32 for 1 now. Although this is not a high profile match but since it's turning out to be an upset match, people will triggered to gamble and the bookies will make good money.

Thanks bud. I managed to get the news. So, if Ireland somehow manage to win this test (BIG LOL) then will they be the nation who will win their first test in very short time?

I am very poor in looking at history. May be JSRAW has it. :-P

edit:
LOL England are done for their first inning :-D
85 runs and all out!

LOL you should be knowing that it happens with you always. Stop making post if you are supporting England :-P

Jokes aside, honestly speaking it's a shame for England. First international match after (who cares the format) they became world champion and they are performing their worst against a team who are not a regular test playing country (Come on guys, can anyone confirm when Ireland got test status LOL).

Game-Protect :-D

Speechless bud, speechless. Never ever thought to see England in this position against any team.

Well three more wickets and then the first inning wraps up. Ireland will have two full innings and entire time of this test match. If they can manage good score in the first inning then in the 2nd inning whatever English scores it will be easier for them to chase. There won't be much run to chase for them.

I do not think England will score 400+ runs in the 2nd innings, looking at the performance in this innings of course.

Edit: Another gone! 8 down now!

No sure bud. I think it's only few matches between only two teams to predict win-lose only. A pool like this kind is better when there are more teams like we have seen in IPL and World cup kind of tournament. If anyone has any idea then feel free to propose or start. I will give my full support. I am looking forward to the next big tournament, possibly T20 world cup, champions league, next IPL which are popular for all nations.

By the way, we have now few new and very specific topics for cricketing. Have you noticed these:

Test Cricket Predication and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

LOL England 52/7 and against a team like Ireland. I still don't know when this Irish team got Test status. I think it's the over confidence which caused this damage for England. If this was Australia or any other strong team then we would not see this score board. The batsmen were more sensible then.

I am looking for a channel to see some of the overs LOL

I wonder if this is the bowling or the batsmen playing bad shot.

I hope the same too.

I felt bad recently when I saw a lot of Pffrt's post were deleted with other users too and I think most of this posts were form our cricketing discussion topics. Some of the posts were 100% on topic and there were no doubt that those were spam but it is how it is.

So, keeping this in mind I made the both new topics self moderated. And as I mentioned earlier, please PM me with the link if anyone find any spammy post so that I can delete them. Let's keep this community (very small cricket community) clean and protected.

Cheers

Edit: Guys check this out ( Our world champions LOL) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168384.msg51933795#msg51933795

Oh snap! I was not aware about it. When did Ireland got test status?

Indeed England are struggling (looking at the scoreboard) right now but this is too early to predict anything against England. It's only the first session of day 1, we still have all the sessions left. It's test cricket and team like England will come back from any situation.

By the way, welcome to the thread.

Edit:
LOL another wicket down! Root gone!

England: 42 runs and 4 down :-P

Edit2: Huh!
What the F is going on! 6 down! :-P
42/6!!!

Done!

And both are self moderated topic now. It's a shame that I did not have this in mind when I created this T20 topic.

We have T20 cricket discussion topic.
We have Test cricket discussion topic.
and this topic will server for ODI cricket and other general cricketing discussion.

The topic is self moderated to prevent spams. If anyone spot any spam then please PM me with the link not only for this topic but also for the other self mod cricketing topic.

Cheers :-)

In this thread we will discuss about international Test cricket. I guess it was a community demand from long ago. The first time I noticed it when we had this world cup prediction pool.

The topic is self moderated to prevent spam.

Cheers :-)

Lately I was thinking the same.

We have a dedicated thread for T20 now (I wish I could make it self mod, We need a separate thread for Test and ODI too. The main concern about the main thread is that the big flag which really do not look good however we all have to admit that it served it's purpose.  

Edit:
I believe in taking action besides discussing :-)

I hope we have everything for cricket now :-)

I think that not the right way. A player can play according to their will. Denying to play for the national team does not mean that they can not continue in other international leagues. A player is free to sign up with any team/league.

We have seen AB as an example. The same with football to I think.

Seem like a lot of us is thinking West Indies can make an impact and win the T20 series :-)

The extra pressure for India is to maintain their standard and perform according to the expectation. This is a huge disadvantage for India. If they can not handle the pressure then they will suffer and if they perform bad in the opening match then game on for West Indies.

Not sure how it's gonna work out however perhaps I am the first person to response this thread? :-)
