Ireland once again proved that they are the ultimate chokers of world cricket.

You really cannot complain them as once in a while they will be getting the opportunity to play big teams and they were able to force West Indies to produce some incredible cricket to win the match and it was really interesting to watch and the odds kept of changing for the most part and when West Indies lost their 7th wickets the odds were above 5 in gambling sites.

They can't escape criticism by giving these sort of excuses. Ireland is in the privileged club now and they are one of the test nations. In terms of funding, they get much more than what other teams such as the Netherlands and Scotland are getting. They are now playing regularly against top teams such as England and West Indies, which is an opportunity that is not given for the other teams.

^^ Oh boy just checked the scoreboard after reading few comments and it was really nail biting match. my bad i missed it, Where are you watching this live? i might check out last match or may be T-20 series.

I watch all the matches live or at least watch the full highlights. Ireland was very close to a win but West Indies managed to win by just 1 Wicket.
The Last ball was hit for a six making WI cross the line. It was a nail bitter thriller.

Alzarri Joseph was well deserved Man of the match.

Yes, the match was really unpredictable until the last ball but unfortunately, Ireland loses the match I thought that when west indies are 148/7 they are going to all-out with 200 runs but the game-changing performance from Heyden Walsh he scored 46 runs for 67 ball I think this is changing the match result.

Ireland once again proved that they are the ultimate chokers of world cricket. I was watching the match live on YouTube (WICB made the live streaming available for free). They needed 5 runs from the last overs, with just one wicket remaining. Hayden Walsh and Sheldon Cottrell were batting and Mark Adair was given the bowling responsibility.

All Ireland had to do was to keep Cottrell on strike. He was struggling to give strike to Walsh and Adair missed two simple chances to run him out. If Irish players perform like this, then I don't think they will remain in international scene much longer. All Adair had to do was to collect the ball and strike the stumps (batsman was miles away in both the cases). He missed, in both the cases.

This one is turning out to be a very exciting match. West Indies need another 6 runs to win, but they only have one wicket in hand. Hayden Walsh is still there with 43, and Mark Adair will be bowling the 48th over. Ireland needs to get Walsh out of the strike and try to take the last wicket (Sheldon Cottrell). And Walsh needs to get a boundary to make sure that West Indies wins the series.

I just watched the highlights and it was a really competitive match, even though West Indies lost their 7th wicket with 90 runs to win and all of their batsman in the pavilion they were able to win the match which is incredible as the tail end players were willing to fight till the end and the Ireland bowlers was not able to capitalized to pick the last three wickets which was a bummer.

It was really a hard fought battle as i never expected West Indies to win the match and i even cashed out when they lost Pollard and to come back from that situation and win the match is incredible as i switched off watching the match after cashing out and i never in the wildest dream thought that West Indies will win the match after loosing all the wickets and when i saw the scoreboard that West Indies won i was gobsmacked.

Oh Ireland on target as they have first 3 wickets very cheaply Lewis Hetmey and King all on just 24 runs on board now Hope and Pooran trying to settle things for West Indies hopefully we are going to watch some interesting match today.

Ireland bowled much better than i expected and when they picked the 4 th wicket i thought they really had a chance to win the match and if they really want to win the match they somehow need to pick the wicket of Kieron Pollard as he is in murderous form as he started counter attacking and now rain has stopped play and whether there will be a revised target is to be seen.

Edit: play has resumed and West Indies lost their 5th wicket Shocked

Today Ireland performed some better as Stirling on top with his good inning 63 no other batsman give him some support Josep and Cottrell for West Indies done good job with respective 4 and 3 wickets now lets check how West Indes respond as in first ODI they lost top 5 wickets very cheaply this time Ireland can do some magic or again we have one sided affair.

It was relatively a better performance but West Indies played really well against India recently and there is no way that the Irish bowlers could trouble the West Indies batsman, not sure about the pitch situation whether it will aide swing and if that is the case Ireland has some decent swing bowlers but whether they can trouble the batsman chasing a modest score of 238 is task.

Anyone watching the League 2 World Cup matches, all the matches are really unpredictable, yesterday Namibia score 324 runs and today they were all out for just 94 runs, these contrast in performance is really hard to comprehend and if anyone made a bet today looking at the performance of Namibia yesterday i am sure everyone would loose the bet. I came to this series when i was watching the sports news and thought of waging a bet today but luckily i bailed out because i missed the timing of the match.

It is hard to come to a conclusion before waging a bet if i am not able to watch the match live, i would like to wage a bet if i am able to view the match live but the risk is higher as i am not aware of these players and how they will perform and it will be like betting blind but if you bet considering the past performance then you will end up at a loss as these matches are really unpredictable, good for you that you missed the match Grin

From what I have noticed, Ireland is struggling to replace its ageing players. Kevin O'Brien, Boyd Rankin, William Porterfield.etc are in their late 30s. However, the Irish cricket board has not been able to find suitable replacement for these players. And the bowling attack is looking very weak, after Tim Murtagh retired from international cricket.

It is a real situation with teams like Ireland where they are not able to replace the old players that performed a decade back and West Indies are able to defeat them easily and i wanted to wage a bet but the odds are really low and i was waiting for the best odds in multi bets and that too never happened and today we have the second ODI and hopefully i will be able to wage a bet.

The decision to grant test status to Ireland was taken in haste and no proper study was done on the viability of cricket in Ireland. Now their quality has fallen and other teams such as Netherlands and Scotland have surged ahead of them. Perhaps the ICC wanted to make sure that what happened to Kenya one and half decades back don't get repeated with Ireland. But giving test status and then providing no real support to them was as good as allowing them to remain as associate members.

Cricket remains one of the minor sports in Ireland. However the world cup match, in which Ireland managed to defeat England was widely covered by the media and all the major news papers carried the news in the first page. But after that, the media coverage as well as popularity of the sport declined. And the ICC's policy of concentrating on the big 3 nations didn't helped the matters. The popularity of cricket is on the decline not just in Ireland, but in almost all the countries apart from the big 3.
