Cricket 2010
Cricket season starts today
If the weather on Sunday is as nice as it is today, I'll be off to the Oval with a nice hamper of goodies. Got to love the summer

Re: Cricket 2010
Doesn't start for my club for a couple of weeks. Captaining for the first time ever this season. If anybody has any outlandish field placements that work a treat please let me know!

There's nothing quite like hitting Lord's for a Test match with an obscenely large box of food from Carluccio's. Can't wait to do it again in a few months.

Re: Cricket 2010
Somerset are only playing 1 match outside of Taunton this year as usual and I'll be fecked if I'm going to see Gloucestershire so there won't be much doing for me. Perhaps some 20/20 and the odd day or so in Taunton.

Twenty20 world cup starts this Friday for Ireland v West Indies 9pm Ireland Time.
Should be good fun with Connacht and Toulon as the warm up.

Correct. Preceded at 17.30 by Sri Lanka V New Zealand. I take it these are the first games of the tournament?West Brit wrote:What channel is it on? Sky Sports I assume?Fred Funk wrote:Twenty20 world cup starts this Friday for Ireland v West Indies 9pm Ireland Time.

Re: Cricket 2010
Ireland taking wickets regularly........could be a major upset in the offing here. Some of the Windies shot selection has been very poor.

Re: Cricket 2010
I realise that I'm beginning to sound like something of a broken record on this topic, but yet another match where Ireland's batting line-up wasn't able to match our top class bowling attack. If Joyce and Morgan had been playing last night, I have little doubt but that we would have taken the Windies right to the wire. Further evidence that the status of Irish cricket needs to be addressed without delay.

Re: Cricket 2010
England 34-3 after 6.3 overs
Re: Cricket 2010
120-8... Morgan getting most of the runs for England, ironically!

Re: Cricket 2010
Brilliant day had at the cricket yesterday. I really thought Ireland were going to pull off an upset after about ten overs. Joyce and Morgan shoring up the middle order would have been handy...

Re: Cricket 2010
Yeah the place was rockin' for those first ten overs, Ireland fairly laid into the Aussies, shame we gave away a a few cheap wickets. Crackin day for it though.West Brit wrote:Brilliant day had at the cricket yesterday. I really thought Ireland were going to pull off an upset after about ten overs.
