I think its poor batting by the Irish more so than the pitch

i have played at stormont many times, but mainly on there lesser good field. once played on the main track at under 15 against CSNI. we won :) from what i remember if there is any moisture on the wicket there and the ball tends to skid allot, and its been drizzling where i am. so conditions arnt great today + 60mph winds

At least ireland have 2 good players at the crease who can keep the runs flowing and get a first innings lead and hopefully enough to not to have to bat again

Nice to see Dockers pick up a 5 wicket haul, been good watching him for Somerset the last few weeks.

George is a great player with a great future ahead of him. I actually played against him in a schools game before he became famous

Claim to fame. I think being at Somerset and working with Kartik has helped him lots and as you say a long and promising future.

Ireland need 150 to win, looks as if it has been a tough game but the Irish should make it home...
