Good to see two spinners in tandem

It seems rinkhals do not rate the commentators.

it's 43-over game now. Play will resume at 3.15pm. Three bowlers can bowl a maximum of nine overs and two can bowl a maximum of eight.

Rain again. 195/4

Well, according to one of them, Markram is too low to field effectively in the slips and the other feels that his hands are in the wrong position.

They were also unaware that you can't change the field for a no ball.

Apart from that, they were brilliant.

If it change to T20 we need to get 154

Scratch England side bowl Pakistan out for 141 in 35 overs
Aye - it is impressive - but it is a Pakistan side that has been in quarantine, had no warm up matches against a side of folk that have been playing country cricket and various formats in the conditions for months.

I think that this result was pretty much on the cards - but we should all inhale loudly if they run through them in the next match. Cause that suggests that England have a serious depth of talent in the game.

Mahmood was very impressive though.
Word. Pakistan are also notorious for getting skittled in the opening game of any series.

Well the second ODI showed that England's depth is genuine. In English conditions their second string bowling attack is a feckin force.

Australia lose the third T20I and with it, the series.

Aus elected to bat, but were 141 for 6 in their 20.

Windies took less than 15 overs to knock off the runs.

What has happened to Australian cricket?

You can change the field for a no ball if the batsmen ran a run

Which they didn't.

Yes, I do know that.

SA win the toss and insert Ireland.

The bad news for Ireland is that Nortje comes in for Ngidi.

Commentators mocking the Saffer fielders.

"Good at fielding, just not very good at catching".

Stirling dropped at second slip by Markram.

Miller parries the cut but can't hold onto the parried ball.

Mockery justified as Rabada shells the fourth catch dropped so far this innings.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 12:26 pm**

This has been a pretty poor performance from the South Africas.

4 dropped catches and some indifferent bowling.

We need wickets.

Balbirnie get a century.

Well done to him, but we have been pants in the field.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 12:38 pm**

Bavuma spoils the day to catch Balbirnie at deep mid off.

We finally take a catch and Rabada gets a wicket.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 12:41 pm**

Very poor there from Verrynne.

I make that 2 dropped catches and a missed stumping.

Make that 3. Moved very late for that gloved ball.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:00 pm**

Ireland making us look distinctly sub standard here.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:01 pm**

To be fair, Ireland are ranked 3 places above of South Africa.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:03 pm**

Oh shite only see the cricket now

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:16 pm**

Rabada catches on at deep point.

I was fully expecting him to drop that.

Not a great so far for the Proteas.

290/5 - excellent last 10 overs.

Last 5 ov (RR) 69/2 (13.80)

Stupid winning the toss, having 2 spinners and make them bat first.

Anyways time for our batters to produce.

See West Indies is 3-0 up against Australia

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:20 pm**

Ireland 290 for 5.

I think what it is, is that Ireland are ahead in the ODI matches table; but we've played 10 games, & SA have only played a handful

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 4:09 pm**

Verreyne & Miller to the rescue.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 4:18 pm**

This game kinda illustrates why Ireland has been fighting to get test status, for so long.

For any side in the lower tier to improve; they have to games playing against better sides; & take the beatings, so they can improve.

We're justifiably ranked lower than the Afghans; but at least our trajectory is now going back in the right direction.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 4:27 pm**

Verreyne gone

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 4:34 pm**

1 more wicket and it's game over - SA tail is kak

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 4:43 pm**

and there is it, game over - well done Ireland. Super win. Outplayed SA in every aspect of the game

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 4:57 pm**

Great win for Ireland. Put our cricket in perspective.

Posted: **Tue Jul 13, 2021 5:09 pm**

well that was rather bizzare .. a no-ball run out
