World Greatest fast bowler Muhammad Amir decided to say good bye to Test cricket. I think he is too young to take this decision as he had a lot of years left where he could have played Pakistan in test cricket.

The chase is not much although Ireland has already lost Porterfield, he would have helped to chase it a lot. Anyway, it still is possible to chase. They have some average batsman in the middle order. I hope they will chase today.
Something unpredictable just happened in the cricket. A world champion few days back has got all out in the 1st inning within 1st session itself and that too from the Ireland who did not even qualify for the World Cup. Well this is something unexpected and what a game of cricket it has being from Ireland.
Last wicket is adding some runs on the board and longer they stay higher the chances of England winning the test match because we cannot expect Ireland to make 250 runs batting 4th innings of the test match. Ireland have actually a god chance to beat the world champions but will they be able to do it.
I think that Ireland can actually win this one as long as Andrew Balbirnie, Stirling and O'Brien form great partnerships and hit good knocks out in the middle. The english bowlers will try to dismantle them quickly which is why the initial wickets will matter a lot here.Broad and Curran are in sub-lime form and they are the bowlers that the Irish need to look out for.
If you look at football then you will see that they have different topics for different leagues. Like for EPL, CL, Serie A etc. Plus they have these pools in the separate thread. When we will have specific topics then it's more useful to discuss in dept. Everything in a topic most of the times miss important conversations.
I do agree with you, having everything clustered into one thread looks like a degenerated spam by the users who are not aware of cricket, after all it is just four threads and it is not a big deal to monitor these threads and there are not much users who discuss in cricket threads, so that we can have more clarity in our discussion if everything is not clustered together and that is my opinion. Anyhow its an opportunity for Ireland to make its first win in test. Third day end will give the result of the match.
Ireland does have a rare opportunity to win a test match here and it will be a historic win if they are able to achieve it, one good session could change the entire match and that is what happened in this test match.Last wicket is adding some runs on the board and longer they stay higher the chances of England winning the test match because we cannot expect Ireland to make 250 runs batting 4th innings of the test match.

End of day 2 England leads with 181 runs and a wicket in hand. Broad and Stone seems to be strong, stone has faced ten balls without a single run. On the other side Broad stands at 21, maybe this partnership will add another 30 runs. This time England might have planned to attack through the bowling. Anyhow its an opportunity for Ireland to make its first win in test. Third day end will give the result of the match.
Ireland have a big chance to win their first ever test match and against one of the top test cricket teams in the world. It will be tough chasing anything over 180 runs which they must if they want to win. If England can get a 200+ run lead then it will make it extremely tough for Ireland but with a lot of time left in the match Ireland can take their time batting.
Can we have some turn around in this test match as England are 174 runs ahead and 1 wicket left. If Ireland can bat well in second innings then they could win the first test against England and this would be the a great result for them and boost their confidence as beating England in England is never easy for a side like Ireland.

Thank you for responsing. This is how I think-This is the main thread for cricket discussion. We can get all the discussion here. On occasion like world cup, ipl, champion trophy, we can create a thread and discuss there.
Now that we have 3 threads, people will discuss the same in at least two of the threads. One in main thread, another in t20 or test (depends on format).
It will increase spam in the long run. Now, people can say locking this thread which I would not agree. It's an old thread which must be kept alive.
Would be happy to hear other people opinion.
My focus is to reduce spam.
Royse or you have no control on locking this thread (even if you wish to lock it). Regarding this thread, there is only issue of warning message, which i already discussed here but no vain. (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51830411)
For me, i would like one cricket thread so i do not have to click all the 4 topics on cricket every time.

Guys! Test cricket: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/test-cricket-prediction-and-discussion-thread-self-mod-5168384 :-)
This is now getting worse, I think, my personal opinion only. We are getting cross-post which may increase spam as a result after some days. People will discuss the same in both threads.
Just my two satoshi
Its now difficult to track what people are discussing about cricket. Those who are cricket lovers and does not want to miss any post for cricket will be now have to read 4 threads. 2 already mentioned above and for T20 we have this one https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/t20-and-t20i-cricket-prediction-and-discussion-5102095
And the one I am posting now is the main old thread
I am all open for community feedback. If I see there are not much activities on those topics then I won't hesitate to lock them. But I agree with others that we need different topics for different format of cricket.

Something unpredictable just happened in the cricket. A world champion few days back has got all out in the 1st inning within 1st session itself and that too from the Ireland who did not even qualify for the World Cup. Well this is something unexpected and what a game of cricket it has being from Ireland.
You are missing the point here. The current English test side does not include all the World Cup winning team players which is why it is unfair to compare in this manner.Also, test matches are a different ball game when compared to T20 and ODI formats overall. Ireland bowled really well though and they continue improving over time.
I am afraid this is no excuse to defend England that the test team members are different than the ODI ones and hence they perform bad against Ireland.
Check the ranking of England and Ireland of the test matches and you will find that England test ranking is far superior than the Ireland.

Although England did win the ODI world cup but this does not mean that their test team is so low quality that they get out on so low score. That was just a bad day for them. And you mean to say that England test team is not enough good to play against the Ireland ? You need to think again.

Some times a team may have bad day like England had yesterday and they were all out for 85. But i do not think they will repeat the same performance today in their 2nd innings. Ireland have to get them cheaply out, if they want to win this test match. England can still pull out this test if they manage to give 250+ target to Ireland.
The 2nd day is yet to be started. I guess Ireland has a big chance even if England can score a big one. Ireland, at the moment, is leading by 122 runs which is pretty good standing. If they can manage to restrict England in 350 runs in 2nd innings of England, I believe the chase will not be hard for Ireland. Something unpredictable just happened in the cricket.

It seems like Ireland's bowling line-up is improving; gotta see the highlights!
I would call it as an accident unless they can perform well now. It was almost impossible for me to believe England was packed for 85 only in their first innings. However, the match will have an interesting result which I'm waiting for.Some times a team may have bad day like England had yesterday and they were all out for 85.
