...it's that there oirishman again!

[Keef]

For Christ's sake, we are sh!t!!!!!!

[Keef]

12 - 1, we doubled our total, it's as good as won :-S

[CrystalClear]

well, there goes Vaughanie....

[mockney piers]

Our irish lad of pilotlight fame thinks Joyce has "had a braveheart moment" which he then illustrated with a wink, a thumbs up a mimed missing the ball and a feigned oops.

It took me until Keef's second post to work out what this thread was even about. :/

[blinder999]

same here. I was hoping it was about some crazy free Guinness offer :-S

[CrystalClear]

that does sound like a good offer blinder!

[Keef]

Indeed , it would be a blinder!!! :-S

66 - 2 now...

[CrystalClear]

now bell. I don't think we're going to get a very high score here....

[mockney piers]

We'll cruise to a comfortable but unremarkable victory.

everyone else seems chuffed about the Bell wicket:

obo = "WICKET! Bell c O'Brien b O'Brien 31 (England 89-3) Thank God for that."

cricinfo = "Thank goodness that's over. No need for such pedestrian batting - ever. Ireland celebrate the wicket ... but not nearly as enthusiastically as almost all of England. I swear that Michael Vaughan was seen to leap up and high five Andrew Flintoff...

21.2 KJ O'Brien to Bell, OUT, gone! Bell's turgid knock comes to a tame end, attempting to late-cut a straight one from O'Brien...but he could only deflect it straight into the wicketkeeper's gloves

IR Bell c wicket-keeperNJ O'Brien b KJ O'Brien 31 (74b 2x4 0x6) SR: 41.89"

[CrystalClear]

I shouldn't be reading the beeb by the sounds of it.....

"Bye, bye Belly. The Shermanator perishes, feathering Kevin O'Brien to his brother Niall behind the timbers. Bell isn't happy with that. In fact, he looks startled, like a dog looks when you blow in its face."

[CrystalClear]

...have I ever mentioned my irish ancestry?

[mockney piers]

That would explain my inability to understand your drunken patter after 8 pints ;)

[mockney piers]

Oh dear. Pietersen gone

Creek sans paddle as the obo would say

[Mark]

Congratulations Mockney, your post at 4:40PM was the 10,000th post on the Forum.

I hope you feel proud of yourself.

it's 123 for 4

[CrystalClear]

Well done mate, am proud of ya!!

Doesn't that mean we should hop or summin? (the 1234, not Piers' post, that, surely, means we should drink and watch what remains of England).

[mockney piers]

Wooo !!!

:D

Where did I put that party Popper?

[Keef]

Damn I was so close ;-) Good work Mockney!

[clare]

Does you get a prize ????

(and what percentage of the posts came from your fair keypad ? I would have put money on it being you, Keef or DM !)
