290 should make a game of it.....not out of reach.
Dumb shot from Porterfield there though, needed to bat through until about the 42nd, especially after the way they fell away aginst India. O'Brien needs to get himself in here, nothing stupid until they're pretty deep into the last 10. Make sure of 260 before they set their sights on 290.

Lack of batting depth gets exposed......disappointing.
Their batting depth is actually pretty good, Pakis just bowled too well (especially to K.O'Brien when he was trying to go after them). As they said on the commentary, if you can execute yorkers well, you still make it hard for batsmen to score.

Extra reason to hope for an Irish win tonight is that if they don't, we'll get Pakistan who are capable of anything. :confused:

Sri Lankans in a bit of trouble, would make a South African loss from here a definite choke. :p

I am staggered there is not one suitable ground available in Victoria.
Guessing not having one outside of the MCG was part of the political posturing to get the Junction Oval upgrade done.

In summary, the ACA and CA set down a set of criteria for accreditation of grounds as being of First Class Standard. The three are loosely, playing surface, off field turf practice facilities and off field amenities. There are no grounds outside of the MCG that currently meet the requirements - it's not a joke it's a fact. CV have been lobbying for years for an upgrade to the Junction so that they get that but also they want a 12 month facility, not sharing with St Kilda or Melbourne.

They got what they wanted in the end and St Kilda got told to f*** off (as they should've).

Also, I imagine Junction Oval probably only passes on one of those criteria (surface).

Biggest ****wit type appeal there in the history of cricket.
That was farcical, what a dickhead. Didn't look like it struck him clearly in line either, wasted review.

The blokes had one fail all tournament and you're all over him........no wonder Finchy reckons you're a shit bloke
He's seriously plodding today though, knockout game, big stage, makes earlier deeds irrelevant.
