England 5 down now. Someone needs a big strike rate to get this done.
As much as I can’t bring myself to cheer for Ireland (blame Sexton) it would be great if England lost this.

[Crucial]

Off for rain. DLS has England 5 runs short at the moment.

Pissing down like a prostitute in Trump Tower. Not sure if a game is declared yet.

[Crucial]

10 minutes to get back on or Ireland take the win.

Straya will be liking this

Ireland wins on DLS!

Cat among the pigeons!

[Crucial]

Ireland take it out on DLS. England knew this was coming hence Ali smacking 12 off the last three balls but too late to catch up.
Deserved win by Ireland though. Excellent bowling.

[Crucial]

England needed Baz to be their coach. He knows how to win at the G.
Oh, hang on.

Livingston in at 7 when we’re on a run chase? WTF?

Just watched another replay of that Maxwell hit and he is a very lucky boy. He copped a sharp shortish ball that was rising and it slightly hit his glove/handle and went into his neck when he slightly turned his head.

I love the interweb for shit like this

Pleased to see Tim Pringle get a few and his odi high score for Netherlands v India. Played with and against my son in BOP junior cricket. Wonder if he will be back to play for ND this summer.

How old is Mohammed Shami? He's been like 35 for nearly 10 years ...

Random swings getting edges to the boundary.

But Injuns cruise it

Zimbabwe beating Pakistan shows that anyone can beat anyone in T20s. And they were one of the favourites.

@ARHS This time last year I was wondering if Pringle was on a path to eventual Black Caps honours.

I've since wondered if he'd decided on the Netherlands early on, or whether he made a pragmatic decision about his chances when the Netherlands came knocking. Either way, I guess I was surprised at the time the news broke.

@Donsteppa Felt to me like his Dad was plotting a fast-track career path all along. The change to being a spinner surprised me but worked. It would seem that they used mum's heritage to get Tim as many opportunities against higher class opposition as soon as possible. Not sure he would have got same so quickly by staying here in BOP. Hitting Ashwin for 6 first ball made me smile. The 19 year old in Dutch team looks good too. I do hope that these second tier cricket nations will keep getting more competitive.

Can they still change from Tier 2 to Tier 1?

Yes, no stand down period for him to change 'up' to a team he already qualifies for.
