No ball above waist height...Campbell slaps it for six!

And through the offside for another one!

Agreed and their running between the wicket is admirable.

 
Logic 2019-05-05 11:30:12 

Nice to see Campbell in the runs. Positive guy. Cant help wondering if we did not make a mistake leaving him out given Evan Lewis's poor form of late. Campbell would also have been useful as an offspinner. Would have allowed to take a chance on playing Allen instead of Nurse or even no specialist spinner at all

Murtagh to Shai Hope, FOUR, ton for Shai Hope! Fifth ODI hundred for Shai Hope. And believe me many more to come. He is one of the most exciting cricketers in World Cricket and certainly a one to watchout for in the upcoming World Cup! It was a fuller length delivery on the stumps, Shai Hope plunges forward and nails the straight bat. It raced to the fence in a blink of an eye. He raised his bat to celebrate his ton!

First time in the history of West Indies cricket that both openers have scored a hundred! Records are being ripped aprt by John Campbell and Shai Hope. It was on the stumps and John Campbell knocks it down to long-on to replicate his partner

McCarthy to Shai Hope, out Caught by Lorcan Tucker!! It took close to 280 balls to get the first breakthrough. But the second one has come just 2 balls later. It was a short of length delivery and was wide of off, Shai Hope pulls it straight into the hands of deep mid-wicket who makes no mistake. A high-quality innings from a high-quality batsman comes to an end. He is certainly a star in making in international cricket!

Shai Hope c Lorcan Tucker b McCarthy 170(152) [4s-22 6s-2]

47.2
McCarthy to John Campbell, out Caught by Porterfield!! Finally, a wicket! And the Irish crowd celebrate! They appreciate the effort of John Campbell too who has been truly sensational today. One of the better ODI hundreds you would ever watch! It's been a memorable day for John Campbell, not sure he is gonna forget this his entire life. It was a back of a length delivery and was wide of off, John Campbell swings his willow hard. It hit the top-half of the bat and popped up in the air, Porterfield came charging from sweeper cover and takes a very good catch.

Narper 2019-05-05 13:56:02 

The record for the highest opening partnership in ODI cricket has been smashed by Campbell and Hope.

And he have also become the only opening pair to score 150-each in one innings.

Well, Campbell could have been run-out on the first ball of the innings but the cover fielder failed to smash the stumps at the non striker's end.

 
Narper 2019-05-05 14:05:16 

John Campbell - Very proud, first international century, it was a good pitch to bat on. I am very happy for both myself and Shai, think we set-up the innings very well, after a slow start, it became a better batting track.

Shai Hope - He did a bit more than me, we both enjoyed batting together. I have no idea (about becoming the first WI openers to score a hundred each).

Nurse is looking extra ordinary. He has company in Gabriel.

big grin

As I post, Kevin O'bien drowns in the honey.

I will wager any bet that West Indies will have to rent a place for Ashley Nurse and Angel Gabriel to hide before the end of the World Cup.

Before this Nurse had bowled 3.4 overs none for 37 without batsmen stepping on the gas.

You need to do this throughout the tournament for those two to get wickets eh? big grin

They will be in hiding very early before I can come to their rescue. If I had to make that decision on whether they should be playing or not, it would be very easy.

Any other two bowlers would do.

34.4
Nurse to Joshua Little, out Bowled!! West Indies win by 196 runs. Four wicket for Nurse, threw this one invivitingly as Little went right across his stumps on the sweep - he missed and the ball rattled into the middle-stump.

Joshua Little b Nurse 0(2)


34.2
Nurse to McCarthy, out Stumped!! That's the end of McCarthy - came down the track, Nurse cleverly dragged his length back on this off-break - went straight on and McCarthy was playing for the turn, beaten on the inside edge and Shai Hope has an easy job to do - whips the bails with elan and Ireland have lost their ninth wicket.

McCarthy st Shai Hope b Nurse 9(15) [4s-1]
