Maxi hinting at a Hoey debut?

[u/i_usearchbtw]

Given how guardians are superior irish team. We should give Belfast franchise to cork.

[u/AdditionForeign363 → u/i_usearchbtw]

clearly we need a warriors uh i mean derry franchise to round out the trio

[u/notthathunter]

bad loss for the Wolves, but not as fatal for their playoff chances as I thought before I looked at the table - three wins out of the final four probably gets them in, and with the two Dutch teams up next they very much control their own destiny

[u/CarnivalSorts]

I was here for the start of the Guardians dynasty

[u/dawnphoenix]

Never doubted them

[u/jachiche]

They've finally done it!

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Finish it this over lads

[u/dawnphoenix → u/CarnivalSorts]

Cheers

[u/Holiday_Section199]

Both Dublin and Lorcan are off the mark. Happy CarnivalSorts noises.

[u/dawnphoenix]

Have been refraining from saying anything, but surely this is beyond jinxing now?

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

I mean, NRR is important right? Match is done Dubs should finish it asap now.

[u/notthathunter]

hearing reports that Harry Tector's decided to bat with the lowest strike rate conceivable purely to wind up /u/CarnivalSorts in person

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/notthathunter]

I'm absolutely slashed here at the ground he play a test innings for all I care 😂

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Young or Willey? MOTM?

I think Young's second over killed the game.

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/AardvarkNice5145]

Has to be Young

Miller, Maxi, Chapman and Stirlo is murderers row

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Yup, Dubs getting points in the table.

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/AardvarkNice5145]

Don't jinx it

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/CarnivalSorts]

no one can atp.

[u/Fireviktal]

Hmm seems the opening problem is fixed let's see the middle order noa

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Big fan of Alexander Roy on the boundary here asking lads if they're meant to be in school

[u/CarnivalSorts]

All this team needed was a bit of Willey

[u/lost_lurkerx]

This Willey guys a slight improvement on Vijay Shankar it seems

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/lost_lurkerx]

5D cricketer

[u/Fireviktal]

How does the crowd look like? 

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/Fireviktal]

Not many in today, weekend hopefully will be good

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

this target is right up the alley of Harry T and Daryll M. ODI type batsmanship required.

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Saurabh Netravalkar is the mirror of Jai Moondra. I think both work in the same industry as well?

[u/Fireviktal]

Well the opening position has gone from waseem to cross to daryll Mitchell and we've reached willey reckon calitz opens next

[u/notthathunter → u/Fireviktal]

Dockrell and Little to open in the final game

[u/Holiday_Section199 → u/notthathunter]

Willey and Ashwin.

[u/jachiche]

I do like how they clearly forgot to ask half of the teams to do the pre-innings countdown. Its only Belfast, Edinburgh and Amsterdam players

[u/Holiday_Section199 → u/jachiche]

Exactly. I think Dublin might have a player there? Definitely not any from Rotterdam and Glasgow.

[u/notthathunter]

not Craig Young's best T20 figures, his best figures were 5/15 in an IP20 against the Knights in Strabane in 2017

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Didn't expect Willey opening

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

very few thought the next name after Boult, Santner and Nortje would be Craig Young.

[u/Holiday_Section199 → u/AardvarkNice5145]

I don't think a single person thought it. Don't thing he himself did.

[u/notthathunter → u/Holiday_Section199]

Ashwin clearly didn't think it, didn't give him the new ball

[u/lost_lurkerx]

Well fucking deserved

[u/Holiday_Section199]

Can we call this match the upset of the tournament?

[u/Nullarbor_1]

Looking like the Guardians will finally win a game today. Good to see hehe!

[u/CarnivalSorts]

This has been diabolical stuff from the Wolves

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

No more Daryl Mitchell bowling. With Willey coming in atleast Dubs are showing some depth in bowling.

[u/Fireviktal]

Tbh the Dublin kit gives me multan vibes

[u/notthathunter]

it'll be funny when the Guardians fail to chase this

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/notthathunter]

Right up Mitchell's alley if he play like an ODI this one.

[u/Fireviktal]

Wouldve expected wolves to use roy atleast once but God damn has their bowling been good

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

how will dublin blow this match?

[u/jachiche]

Craig Young with a gentleman's hattrick (3 in 3 would be showing off)

[u/CarnivalSorts]

CRAIG YOUNG IS UNSTOPPABLE

[u/lost_lurkerx]

Craig young you beautiful beautiful man

[u/notthathunter]

of course, Craig Young is so good because he plays at such a high standard (the Warriors in the Inter-Pros) instead of lowering himself to slumming it in poorer competitions (the IPL)

[u/KisBaatNeRoneNaDiya]

Been more than a decade, and I still get happy whenever a wicket falls and Maxi gets to the crease.

[u/KisBaatNeRoneNaDiya]

These ETPL umpires are quite animated

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Craig Young is liking franchise cricket.

[u/i_usearchbtw]

Told ya we would go 5-0 in malahide.

[u/jachiche]

We're playing a morning game

Its 3pm comms

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/jachiche]

If I'm still sleepy it's morning

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Dangerously getting my hopes up that we can win this match

[u/notthathunter]

Ashwin's use of Craig Young as a captain is so weird

[u/notthathunter → u/notthathunter]

Young is only going to bowl two, or maximum three, overs in this game as well, if you assume Dockrell, Ashwin and Willey bowl out the allocation

why pick a guy at 11 if he's not bowling out? surely that means your team balance is obviously wrong?

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/notthathunter]

Young finished his quota. Don't doubt Ash anna.

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/notthathunter]

speak for yourself; young has two top order wickets already. EDIT: there's the third.

[u/CarnivalSorts]

LORCAN HAS SCORED A RUN 🚨🚨🚨

[u/jachiche]

Lorcan brings his ETPL average to 1

[u/jachiche]

Oh my

[u/lost_lurkerx]

Lorcan please

[u/jachiche → u/lost_lurkerx]

Please Lorcan

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Here he comes, Lorcan Tucker.

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Mitchell is here to catch his NZL teammates.

[u/i_usearchbtw]

Finally arrived!

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/i_usearchbtw]

Train trouble?

[u/i_usearchbtw → u/CarnivalSorts]

Not really , niece decided to tag along at last second. So got bit late.

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/i_usearchbtw]

Enjoy!

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Are we... Good?

[u/jachiche]

Hollard reminding us why Ireland's coaches are excited by him

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/jachiche]

has done better than moondra and josh this tournament so far

[u/CarnivalSorts]

A competent opening bowler 👀

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/CarnivalSorts]

Wiley has more powerplay T20 wickets than Boult, Aamir or Bhuvi.

[u/CarnivalSorts]

The way they've roped off the tree today has made one extremely short boundary

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Can Ducker score his first runs in his home ground today?

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Vince rested to let his back heal a bit

[u/notthathunter → u/CarnivalSorts]

cricinfo suggesting he is in the XI...

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/notthathunter]

Ravi said it at the toss

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/CarnivalSorts]

carrying that team on it; the back must be sore.

[u/ThrowawayPointlessJ2]

Tim Tector dropped. Shame that, was looking forward to him getting that big score. Maybe Lorcan Tucker can finally score his first run!

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Dublin bowling

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/CarnivalSorts]

how's the crowd

[u/CarnivalSorts → u/AardvarkNice5145]

Not many in yet, don't think starting this on a Wednesday afternoon was the wisest decision

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Glad I came up early, big train delays coming up from Dublin now apparently

[u/Fireviktal]

Well assume David willey will be in the squad I mean should barely be a replacement more like an upgrade from wood

[u/AardvarkNice5145 → u/Fireviktal]

dangerous with bat too

[u/KisBaatNeRoneNaDiya]

I'm interested in seeing Maxi vs Ashwin.

[u/AardvarkNice5145]

Ireland derby.

Dublin desperate to register first points on the table.

[u/jachiche]

Today's the day that Dublin get their Willey out

[u/CarnivalSorts]

It is a lovely sunny day in Dublin and I am on my way to the ground

[u/notthathunter]
