Ireland maiden Test vs Pakistan

Surprised no one has jumped on this, anyway day 1 was washed out. Pitch looks like a seamers paradise. Pakistan look weak Ireland have a good chance to get a debut win

Lovely to see Ireland join the test world. Can’t help but think they might do ok at the start but will struggle later - a lot of their main players are getting on a bit. Have they got much coming through??

Ireland’s batting was rather inept, skittled for 130. The Pakistan attack is fairly average at best and the Irish didn’t apply themselves.

Been forced to follow on

To be fair, they have done better than most sides in their first tests...

Kevin O'Brien registered Ireland's first test fifty. Classy knock

Could be fun if Ireland can get a lead of 120+...

Reckon the Irish need 175 to give themselves a chance of an upset that said weather not good in Ireland tomorrow.
Pakistan  bowling looks  ordinary and how fit is Amir he might ot last the series against England

Whatever the outcome, Ireland can be proud of their performance here.

They really have stood up and been counted
