*Official*Ireland tour to Afghanistan Feb-Mar 2024

[Aidan11]

Young now gets Gurbaz clean bowled. Afghanistan 7 down with a lead of 66.

 

[Aidan11]

No hat trick for Young but Ireland must not let this tail wag. They will want to chase less than 100 and no more than 150 tops.

 

[Aidan11]

111 (Nelson) to win for Ireland.

Should be doable.

 

[mackembhoy]

Won't get a better chance to win a test match than this.

Lovely nut that by Zadran to castle Moor

 

[Chubb]

Next couple of hours should be good viewing. I think Tucker and McBrine will see Ireland home.

Disappointed for Moor I hoped he’d be the one to win this.

 

[Immenso]

Hmm. Weird. Didn't seem like he was anywhere near that, live.

Wtf was that?

Montage of the construction of a massive canal in the Afghan desert.

"Beautiful scenery of Afghanistan there"

Is this Test match Taliban propaganda? Should I turn it off?

 

[mackembhoy]

How did that Tector one get given?

Spike is before the ball reaches the bat, surely the on-field decision is upheld as that isn't conclusively out?

If it was Joel Wilson i'd get it but Reiffel isn't a bad umpire.

 

[mackembhoy]

On a side note, since when has UAE Dhabi had swinging/seaming conditions like it's been in this test?

Would have loved more wickets like this when England toured there against Pakistan

 

[Ashes81]

Massive partnership now for Ireland between Balbirnie and Stirling.

Two very experienced players who need to see their side on the path to victory.

Uh-oh.

Kiss of death there. Zia Rehman could run through them.

Fortunate Rashid Khan not fit and coming in from the other end.

As I don't think they will get a better chance to win a test match, certainly one in Asia especially.

I know what you mean it makes me a bit uneasy.

 

[MW1304]

That no ball looked pretty out, no? Wonder if they would have reviewed.

Easy for us looking at home but I'd have been reviewing that.

Good thing they didn't go up before the signal(would they lose it in that event?)

 

[_Ed_]

My 'uh-oh' may have been premature. Credit to this partnership.

 

[MW1304]

Don't get this field, easy singles on offer. It's wickets or bust at this stage, make them play big shots.

They wouldn't, as far as I know. India had reviewed a caught-behind off Moeen at Lord's, and it turned out that Jadeja had overstepped. India kept the review, though.

 

[MW1304]

Comfortable in the end, cracking partnership after riding their luck early.

Well done Ireland!

 

[_Ed_]

Huge moment for Ireland! Awesome to see.
