Right, we've won now, so it's not whinging coming from a loser. Something has to be done about the D/L thing with chasing now teams are used to 20/20. Ireland should of pissed it.
Oh and ****ing England have got to learn to bowl first when the forecast is for rain, *****

Always amuses me when Shah does well with the ball. Honestly reckon he's the worst bowler who turns his arm over semi-regularly. Suppose if he doesn't know where it's going to land the batsmen must have NFC.
Top score for Denly on debut, I note. Not exactly charging along with the run rate tho.

Ugh I do hate this 'brave' **** in headlines, happens any time the jocks narrowly lose in particular. Ireland choked on a piss easy target ffs got **** all to do with being brave.

I completely agree. Some media bell-ends are amazed that we can somehow compete at cricket, but playing at home to a weakened England side we should be looking to win, not compete. I can't be too harsh on them for choking, because they only got themselves into such a strong position with some fantastic cricket in the field. I just never want Ireland to end up like Bangladesh, where we lose 48 matches in a row and then when we get anywhere near having a chance at winning everyone comments on how "encouraging" and "valiant" the performance was.
