ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Today Ireland performed some better as Stirling on top with his good inning 63 no other batsman give him some support Josep and Cottrell for West Indies done good job with respective 4 and 3 wickets now lets check how West Indes respond as in first ODI they lost top 5 wickets very cheaply this time Ireland can do some magic or again we have one sided affair.

It was relatively a better performance but West Indies played really well against India recently and there is no way that the Irish bowlers could trouble the West Indies batsman, not sure about the pitch situation whether it will aide swing and if that is the case Ireland has some decent swing bowlers but whether they can trouble the batsman chasing a modest score of 238 is task.

Oh Ireland on target as they have first 3 wickets very cheaply Lewis Hetmey and King all on just 24 runs on board now Hope and Pooran trying to settle things for West Indies hopefully we are going to watch some interesting match today.

Ireland bowled much better than i expected and when they picked the 4 th wicket i thought they really had a chance to win the match and if they really want to win the match they somehow need to pick the wicket of Kieron Pollard as he is in murderous form as he started counter attacking and now rain has stopped play and whether there will be a revised target is to be seen.

Edit: play has resumed and West Indies lost their 5th wicket  .

This one is turning out to be a very exciting match. West Indies need another 6 runs to win, but they only have one wicket in hand. Hayden Walsh is still there with 43, and Mark Adair will be bowling the 48th over. Ireland needs to get Walsh out of the strike and try to take the last wicket (Sheldon Cottrell). And Walsh needs to get a boundary to make sure that West Indies wins the series.

It was really a hard fought battle as i never expected West Indies to win the match and i even cashed out when they lost Pollard and to come back from that situation and win the match is incredible as i switched off watching the match after cashing out and i never in the wildest dream thought that West Indies will win the match after loosing all the wickets and when i saw the scoreboard that West Indies won i was gobsmacked.

I just watched the highlights and it was a really competitive match, even though West Indies lost their 7th wicket with 90 runs to win and all of their batsman in the pavilion they were able to win the match which is incredible as the tail end players were willing to fight till the end and the Ireland bowlers was not able to capitalized to pick the last three wickets which was a bummer.

I watch all the matches live or at least watch the full highlights. Ireland was very close to a win but West Indies managed to win by just 1 Wicket.
The Last ball was hit for a six making WI cross the line. It was a nail bitter thriller.

Alzarri Joseph was well deserved Man of the match.

Ireland once again proved that they are the ultimate chokers of world cricket. I was watching the match live on YouTube (WICB made the live streaming available for free). They needed 5 runs from the last overs, with just one wicket remaining. Hayden Walsh and Sheldon Cottrell were batting and Mark Adair was given the bowling responsibility.

All Ireland had to do was to keep Cottrell on strike. He was struggling to give strike to Walsh and Adair missed two simple chances to run him out. If Irish players perform like this, then I don't think they will remain in international scene much longer. All Adair had to do was to collect the ball and strike the stumps (batsman was miles away in both the cases). He missed, in both the cases.

You really cannot complain them as once in a while they will be getting the opportunity to play big teams and they were able to force West Indies to produce some incredible cricket to win the match and it was really interesting to watch and the odds kept of changing for the most part and when West Indies lost their 7th wickets the odds were above 5 in gambling sites.

Yes, the match was really unpredictable until the last ball but unfortunately, Ireland loses the match I thought that when west indies are 148/7 they are going to all-out with 200 runs but the game-changing performance from Heyden Walsh he scored 46 runs for 67 ball I think this is changing the match result.

They can't escape criticism by giving these sort of excuses. Ireland is in the privileged club now and they are one of the test nations. In terms of funding, they get much more than what other teams such as the Netherlands and Scotland are getting. They are now playing regularly against top teams such as England and West Indies, which is an opportunity that is not given for the other teams.

Two more days to go.. I think it will going to one of challenge odi series for India because we know that how difficult will there against Australia team because they have best bowling and batting lineup better than Indian team but I hope Indian team will do better and going to win the series.

What is the point in criticizing if the selectors are not able to find the talents that are world class to play cricket because only a few followers in Ireland as it is not the most popular sport. The most popular sports are Rugby, Gaelic handball, Hurling, Gaelic football, Golf and people are interested to play these sports rather than playing Cricket and that is the biggest problem that they are finding it hard to find good talents.

They are not playing a lot of international cricket and that might be one of the reason they missed out on this simple opportunity. This what is called lack of international cricket exposure and experience.

This series will be way much better than the just concluded T20 series with srilanka, which was an absolute disaster for the fans and the team. I hope we get to see some pressure games in this series.

This is going to be a real cracket of a series as both team are really the top teams at this point of time and India slightly have advantage as the series is being played in India. Also, first match is in Mumbai where it is going to be a batting surface and anything above 325+ runs would be a good score.

On a serious note Ireland should be given more international cricket exposure and only ICC can schedule more matches for this country. They have a lot of talents and they prove this whenever they are allowed to play against big teams. If they are not given the exposure, they will only remain an underdog team.
