What was everybody's favourite wicket?

In terms of satisfaction, the captains wicket felt pretty damn good, but the Stirling run out was my favourite. That probably sealed it, as they were starting to tick some runs over by the time he was run out.
+1 there. Those two were really key.

The Stirling wicket was the hammer blow. He and Wilson could have guided Ireland home and Stirling particularly was starting to read the spinners quite well.

O'Brian has done cock all for ages so I had no issues with him, plus the amount of shit he was clearly getting was always going to add extra pressure to his play.

WP, EJ and PS were the three massive wickets.

Nice wicket from KJ as well, really does kiss that seem. Managed to get the ball to carry through nicely to Taylor today

BT good behind the stumps too. Good catch, good run out, good stumping.

Indeed he was really vocal today as well.
Sean Williams getting the wicket of Kevin O'Brian also needs to be mentioned; he's arguably their most destructive batter

Cricinfo seems to have a lot of video highlights; not sure if it's region-blocked though.

I loved the Blessing catch as only he could pull it off.

Mire and HM are not doing any justice. PJ must be drafted.

Any stream???

Jeez... Hammy has t go through 10 consecutive failures before there's even talk of dropping him. Didn't he get 80 odd the other day?

Really sick of these failed performances with the willow , ervine was looking a million bucks until the umpire robbed him . Taylor’s one was questionable as well. Mire is in danger of being dropped as well
Robbed how, that was clearly out.

Should be docked his match fee by management for not putting in a dive too.

Chisoro looks a far better bat that cremer , in future he should be at 8 ahead of cremer .
+1.
I’ll eat humble pie here , I was pretty pissed off scotch and very upset with the way the game was going . Thank you for reminding me how much of a knob I was being . But one thing i will say is i told all of you 200 odd and we should be sweet. What a win by the boys , we made the Irish look average at best . Very proud and happy with this game , if our batting can click we are a serious side .
