The Irish seem to have the hoodoo over us. Irish Cricket has been through a bit of purple patch of late and it doesn't help that we've played ODIs in Belfast twice and Dublin thrice since they last visited Scotland in 2011 The record between the two teams in africa is 1-1 and we should be glad that this isn't being played in the UAE . Irishmen are apparently invincible in the desert. east.http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/team/30.html?class=2;opposition=29;template=results;type=team;view=results 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember seeing us chase down over 300 against Ireland at the Grange a few years ago, so it's not a hopeless task. Edit - it was 2011, longer ago than I thought. Chased down 320.

Cheeko Green Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Dropped a catch a slip and butchered a possible run out. We could’ve had Ireland in real trouble here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Not putting Ireland under much pressure after a good start. Looks like we’ll be chasing plenty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Need a couple of wickets when they put the foot down, worried that Kevin O Brien will do some serious damage when he cones in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Gone for over 8 an over in the last 5. Keep this up and we’ll be chasing close on 300. Bit of a disappointing effort in what seemed like favourable early bowling conditions. Edited March 18, 2018 by Frankie S 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Needed that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hoping we can keep this under 5 an over and the conditions improve for our batting effort. Ireland are still putting on a decent score here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Ireland probably heading for 300/5 followed by us being 226 all out in the 48th, siiiiiiiiigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 271-9 at the end. Did well to slow down the scoring and take a good few wickets late on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 very even so far. solid start required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Good bowling at the death from the Scotland quicks to take a few wickets, arrest the momentum, and restrict Ireland to 271 in the end. Looked like we were going to be chasing 20-30 more than that. We’ll still have to bat exceptionally well to overhaul that total. Gettable though, if MacLeod, Coetzer etc play well.
