No surprise this. The Irish would raise their game against the hated English in a game of tiddlywinks. Always suspected this game would be a potential banana skin.
We've been awful today apart from the last 5 overs bowling. Woakes bowled **** and allowed them momentum. Hales poor again and we needed Buttler and Stokes to turn up, neither did. Gonna be tough to qualify now if they don't get back out there.
The Aussie ground staff aren't exactly going to hurry to help England, especially having made sure they put the heaviest covers on. All over. Hugely costly for England. The Irish will be dancing.
Our batting looked strangely lacklustre. Stokes looks way off it. Good ball to bowl him, but awful shot.
Unable to play a moving ball as usual. Malan needed to be more aggressive from the off, and we just fell further behind the asking rate. We needed Ali and Livingstone coming in alot earlier for any momentum. Game v Aussies on Friday effectively a knockout game now !
Hope you guys stick right up that wokey aR$ole captain we have, Pat '****a' Cummins. He drives a Range Rover Sport, V6 or 8, flies around the world first class amongst a million of other things and wants to preach to the world, who we should have as a sponsor. We currently have Alinta Energy as cricket Australia's main sponsor but wokey boy has requested they be replaced with a more ECO friendly sponsor. What a f@cking ****a! He can stick it right up his Chaminda Vaas ! The days of sportspeople shutting up and doing what they are good at are gone. Everyone is a hypocritical ECO warrior. Just play cricket pretty boy. Ok, l feel better now. Rant over .............. as you were.
