- @danslee Thank you, sir! The Nurdler seldom wrote opinion pieces previously but has gained confidence from its recent Ashes experience
# - @danslee Tuffers is so good-humoured, even when things are looking black. Also, well-informed and a fund of anecdote. #
- @the_spin Collingwood "the unobtrusive nurdler" made us smile #
- Am thinking of slitting wrists with paper knife, having seen the Eng-Ire ODI score… #
- We reckon that if Trott wants to be out for a duck it's far better he gets it out of his system against the Irish and not a Test nation. #
- @Nana_Mac And good day to you, too! in reply to Nana_Mac #
- Oh, Gods of Cricket, you are laughing at us… #
- @legsidefilth You truly could not make it up, could you? #
- is taking deep, calming breaths… #
- @the_spin Funny old game? You can say that again… #
- @riffgaffer If this was Twenty20 we'd have had half our available overs for a grand total of 20 runs. Good even by Eng's standards! Not… #
- @nana_mac Can you see this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/shared/fds/hi/statistics/cricket/scorecards/2009/8/15834/html/scorecard.stm #
- Ire ODI: Prior departs for 29 c. West b. Botha. Eng now 62-3 in the 21st over.Colly's off the mark, Denly has held on, he's now on 27. #
- @james277 Possible reason: it's good for the sport's development to keep the associate nations in play? #
- @teamergency Paul Collingwood, Eng's One Day International cricket captain, needs a strong cuppa after a dreadful start: http://bit.ly/8FPNj #
- @teamergency Our bad, of course English cricketing mishaps aren't really unexpected occurrences, are they? #
- Oh, dear, Colly is out for nine runs and the ton isn't even up. Eng 93-4 in the 30th over. Like the suggestion he's out of sorts without KP #
- @james277 Yes, the timing's rotten. Don't think a top-drawer performance from Eng ever really on the cards. Hopefully Sun will be better. #
- Eng now 133-5 in 39th over with Shah c K O'Brien b Cusack for 21. Denly hanging on like a trouper on 65 no.Total is beccoming defensible. #
- @nana_mac and other interested parties. Joe Denly on Cricinfo: http://www.cricinfo.com/england/content/player/12454.html #
- Oh FFS. What motivated us to say that? Eng 135-6, Denly out LBW b. Johnston. Off to put head in bucket. #
- @f1lover75 To be fair, the match timing is horrible. Let's hope they don't collapse in the Aus ODIs. #
- Luke Wright's picked up the scoring a bit. Eng now 158-6. #
- @unslugged: "Gentlemen, please adjust your dress before leaving" #
- @RobinBrown78 re the Human Spider photo: Eek! in reply to RobinBrown78 #
- And Wright takes a walk on 36. Eng now 183-7 and likely to run out of overs before batsmen. Probably. #
- Obligatory sarnie tweet: Mine has a big dollop of Marston Pedigree #Ashes Marmite. Mmm-mmm. #
- Are we actually going to pass 200 in Belfast…? No thanks whatsoever to nos. 1 and 3 batsmen if we do… #
- Denly, Prior, Shah and Wright are the architects of the innings, the only men to get into double figs, although Brennan might just join them #
- And Bresnan ends 14 not out to set Ireland a total of 204. Sidebottom contributes 5 runs to the total #
- @aggerscricket What we thought about the Observer affair: http://bit.ly/8iFmd #
- @clackersmad Thanks! Assume you mean TMS not the rubbish performance of Trott and Bopara, though you could agree with that too #
- Ah, rain has stopped play in Belfast. We were wondering what we were missing. Greetings, Mr Duckworth and Mr Lewis… #
- Will Ireland get any overs in before the close? #
- Yay! Play underway. Ire 66-3 in the 10th over, so you could say we've missed quite a bit… #
- RT @ECBTwelfthMan Ireland need 116 from 20 overs to beat England under the Duckworth/Lewis method [So that's how things stand, then...] #
- Ireland appear to be doing what they need to win at the minute. #
- Ire now 77-4 after 12 overs #
- Ire now 82-5 after 14 overs in what has become a Twenty20 tournament… #
- Eek – final few balls and Ire a few runs short #
- Gawd love'em, England have beaten Ireland by two runs. Phew! #
- @aynit_everest re women and toilets: it's simply a less convenient procedure. And there's almost always a queue #
