Anyone agree with me that the ICC should revoke the test status of Ireland? Their performance was really horrible and I have a feeling that test matches should be limited to those teams with international standard. Ireland comes nowhere close. Afghanistan is doing well, so I would suggest the ICC to revoke the test status of Zimbabwe and Ireland, to make it a ten team affair.

Archer if gets the right length and line could turn very vital for England as he has really quick pace and can easily trouble the Oz batsman with his pace . If he gets the good form and continue it he will be be a real match winner for the team .
Archer was the x-factor for England in world cup and no wonder he will play the same role in the upcoming Ashes. This Ashes will be a very interesting one to watch. Both England and Australia is in good shape (ignoring England's batting against Irish). If England has Archer, Woakes then Australia has Mitchell Starc, Cummins.

Thank you.

I don't get why they get no other place to host the Test WC except for England and now I also believe that it's in favor of England. Also, the format is so confusing. First 5 matches of Aus and Eng on 1st August, then 2 matches of other team and here India and Pakistan are not playing against each other so no cricket tension for both. But still how are they going to decide the winner by having irregular number of matches between 2 teams?
What are we talking about here? Sorry I am confuse here.

Good comeback by England in the 4th Innings. They are lucky that it was a team like Ireland. I am wondering what will happen against Australia in Ashes. Although I understand this English team was not giving their 100% against Irish. Some of the key players were taking rest in the last match.
Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer form the deadly combo required to dismantle the Australian lineup in my opinion. Other players like Stuart Broad etc lead me to believe that Australia will have a tough time defeating England this time around.

4 innings in a single day. These matches were like a mix of ODI and T20s. Crazy!
I wasn't totally aware of it. How come they finished 4 innings within a single day? That's not a test cricket, lol. Thank you, anyway.

Seriously stunned by the manner in which they lost here. I expected a draw or England winning, but this margin is something else. Ireland still has a long way to go in the Cricketing world.
Are you talking about before starting match? After the 1st innings of the match, it was certain that we will see a winner certainly and it was more confirmed when we saw 3 innings to be started in a single day.
Curiosity-
Any such record? 3 innings started in one day?

Safe to say Match gone Cheesy

No maiden test victory for them. 6 wicket down,  now they just need to make 2 more runs to avoid lowest total in test cricket history Cheesy

Previous existing record is 26 runs and its belongs to New Zealand Cheesy

What just happened and why Ireland couldn't even bat 20 overs? Woakes and Broad took all the 10 wickets with 6 and 4 so I thought they would get MoM but it went to Leach for 92 runs. Looks like they'll always prefer batsmen over bowlers.
I think Leach deserved this award completely since his batting efforts ensured that England posted a competitive total especially after the margin by which they were trailing behind Ireland.

Wow IRE land all outed only in 38 runs!! What a miracle has happened in this Test match between Englan and Ireland! Firstly England all out in 85 runs then Ire land in 38. That's really a big Revenge by England,
It looks like the other way around, a sympathy by Ireland to save the face of England   Cheesy, I was really baffled by the way in which the Irish players were batting in the second innings as if they owe something to the English players and started moving back to the pavilion one by one as if they had other job to do  Cheesy. I thought of making a bet for Ireland to win the match but then i pulled from doing so because they lack experience in the test level to play the fourth innings and luckily for me i did not loose my money.

Like usual the excuses of Ireland that England exploited the conditions but their performance was worse than miserable after playing well on the first day.
In each match I think there should be some expert bowlers and batmen’s too when a team contain both so they use to win.  I have notice lack of batting skills in Ireland because they have worked good while bowling but they were weak in batting we should try to improve all skills of our team

I think that very interesting results can be obtained if we analyze all the meetings of England and Pakistan.  I think it will be very interesting for gamblers to have suitable results in order to make profitable bets.  Although London is beginning to alarm me with its unpredictable results.

"The very ruins of greatness are great."
That's what England proved. Even though England was in huge pressure, they came back and proved their strength. I was not expecting such a match at all. Their changed stratgey in 2nd innings was noticeable.

It was more important for England to win this test match and save their face. Ireland could not manage the pressure of chasing around 200 runs to win and hence they were bold out too cheap.

Pathetic performance by Ireland. It was the worst performance by any team in a test match. The ICC should seriously consider revoking their test status and reconsider the decision only when they are 100% sure of their competitiveness. Their appalling performance brought disgrace to all the emerging teams and now test nations would be reluctant to stage any matches against these lesser teams.

England's two bowlers end all hopes and dreams of Ireland first win all team wrapped up 38 runs on board and they lost this match by 143 runs now Sun is also shining in London so they can enjoy this win but still need to think about Ashes as they have no good enough batting line up.
