I think Sri Lanka had to wait a decade or something to get the taste of a Test win.
Srilanka got test status at 1981 and played their 1st test in 1982 against England. After more than 3 years, they won their first test against India.

Bangladesh got the test status at 2000 and played their first test at 2000, but won the first test in 2005 against Zimbabwe, after 5 years.
I'm not sure which team took the maximum time to win a test.

If Ireland could get to a score above 200, then they'll be in a realistic position to beat England. I have a feeling that the Brits took Ireland very lightly and used this test as an opportunity to give some of the younger players a test cap. In the end, it is turning out to be a humiliation. The world champions (debatable whether they really won the cup or not) have been bowled out for a two digit score.

@erikalui  You mixing up ODI and Test Match?  Roll Eyes

It's just a first day and Ireland playing his first inning in this test. We have second inning as well for England and Ireland, so the match is not going to finish today if Ireland reach the 85 runs target Tongue

Oh yeah, I forgot about second innings too. So after they get 85, they'll continue to play till they all get out. Then England bat to chase the runs (if any) and/or put runs on the board and Ireland again chase. Am I right? Last I saw a test match was in 2014 where England were playing with a score of 500+ against India I guess. :-P

Luck played a big factor for England when they won the world cup and that luck did not translate here in this test match against non test playing nation  Cheesy
Since this is a test match Ireland has the opportunity to post a huge total in their first innings and then put pressure on the English batsmen and try to send them packing again and win the test match, it all depends upon how much runs Ireland can score in their first innings.

If it was even AFG, I would understand but not Ireland lol. This looks like their second ever test match after getting test status in 2017-18.

Just got to read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9321_ICC_World_Test_Championship (Championship matches for 3 years lol)

That timeless Test must be a fun. The boat won eventually I guess :-P

By the way, I was asking for the nation to win a test match in shortest waiting time after they get the Test status :-) I think Sri Lanka had to wait a decade or something to get the taste of a Test win.

Back to the current test, Ireland just lost their first wicket. 32 for 1 now. Although this is not a high profile match but since it's turning out to be an upset match, people will triggered to gamble and the bookies will make good money.

What's wrong with England batsman? I didn't watch the match at all, just checked the score. How they score 85 only against Ireland?
Ireland is so far in good position. Will it be the first one for Ireland?

Have Fun )@@( Stay Safe
I am speechless to see the scoreboard as England are all out for just 85 runs  Shocked

I can't believe that the commentators also are making fun of England winning the WC Cheesy Looks like everyone is disappointed with their win.

So looks like today they'll finish the test match then as only 85 to chase although England bowlers would be desperate for a wicket. 25 for 0 and just 60 remaining to chase. England getting trashed badly.

Thanks bud. I managed to get the news. So, if Ireland somehow manage to win this test (BIG LOL) then will they be the nation who will win their first test in very short time?

I am very poor in looking at history. May be JSRAW has it. :-P

Btw when it comes to Test cricket, for some games even 5 days are not enough Cheesy . sharing some interesting story.

Time Less Test Match

Quote
Friday, 3 March 1939
Today marks the anniversary of the longest cricket test match in history. The game was played between South Africa and England in Durban. The game continued until the 14 March - 9 days in total. England needed 41 runs to win at the close of the 9th day, but the match was drawn because the English players had to leave to catch their boat back to England.

Due to the draw result, and the length of this match, it is often referred to as the 'timeless' test, and the only one of its kind in history.

Its all end Ireland done great job just 23.4 overs and All England team bundled out  for 85 runs just 3 players reach double figure now we have to watch how Ireland batting line up give response because if they able to do some good score then surely its going to be historic win for them.

LOL you should be knowing that it happens with you always. Stop making post if you are supporting England :-P

Jokes aside, honestly speaking it's a shame for England. First international match after (who cares the format) they became world champion and they are performing their worst against a team who are not a regular test playing country (Come on guys, can anyone confirm when Ireland got test status LOL).

Speechless bud, speechless. Never ever thought to see England in this position against any team.

Is this even salvageable for England at this point? I understand that it's very early in the test, but thats one of the worst scores I can remember seeing for a first innings!
Well three more wickets and then the first inning wraps up. Ireland will have two full innings and entire time of this test match. If they can manage good score in the first inning then in the 2nd inning whatever English scores it will be easier for them to chase. There won't be much run to chase for them.

I do not think England will score 400+ runs in the 2nd innings, looking at the performance in this innings of course.

Edit: Another gone! 8 down now!

Look like Ireland is playing for revenge why ICC give World Cup to England instead of New Zealand now 43/7 Murtagh is 5/11 first test haul and what a day Imagine what Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood are thinking right now Tongue

But Thompson came and ruined it. Sad

They would have got all out for 50. This would add up to their record 58 runs in 2018 test match. I want Adair back to ruin England now lol. I want Broad's wicket now.

Tim Murtagh. 5 wickets for 11 runs. The man is just tearing up the English batting order with some incredible swing/seam bowling.

LOL England 52/7 and against a team like Ireland. I still don't know when this Irish team got Test status. I think it's the over confidence which caused this damage for England. If this was Australia or any other strong team then we would not see this score board. The batsmen were more sensible then.

I am looking for a channel to see some of the overs LOL

I wonder if this is the bowling or the batsmen playing bad shot.

Looks like a T20 match and what a match. Everyone, including me, thought Ireland were going to lose badly but looks like they have great bowlers. Murtagh should get the MOM now Cheesy

Now 7th wicket gone. Cheesy

Murtagh is a gem. England's over confidence has ended with the WC  Grin
