that's it, its all over! A full toss from Cusack finished the Namibian's off. Klazinga hit it a mile in the air and Niall O'Brien took a smart catch at extra cover
Ireland vs Namibia, 3rd Match at Belfast, Jul 04 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So Ireland have bowled the Namibian team out and have won the first one day game by 26 runs.
Snyman hit a very good 61 and there was some very exciting hitting in the end but Ireland's experience showed in the end.
Alex Cusack finished off as the pick of the Irish bowler with three wickets. With two each for Rankin, Johnston and Dockrell on his return to international cricket.
The great news is that the next one day game between the teams takes place here in Belfast tomorrow. So thank you for following my commentary here today in Belfast. I hope that you will join me, Justin Smyth for the game tomorrow. Good evening from Storm
pitched up and hit back past the bowler to long-off
going down legside and tucked round the corner. The Namibians need boundaries
pitched up and hit to long-on
30 needed off of 12
the Louis show is over. He went to hit the ball high over mid-wicket and Porterfield caught he just before the boundary. Lots of relieved look from the Irish fielders
a dock ball! Slower one from Johnston, played and missed
only a single that time to deep mid-wicket
maybe this isnt over yet. Hit hard over long-off and over the top of Stirlings head
slower ball hit hard and flat over long-off. Just gets over the boundary
clever from Johnston, slower ball. An easy single any where now as Ireland try and stop the boundaries
The field is well spread now for Louis
pitched up and hit high in the air. Stirling almost gets to it at third man running in.
boo only a single this time, driven to mid-wicket. Thats 21 off 5 balls
he's done it again, pitched up by Mooney and hit high over point. Landed just inside the rope
pitched up and hit high, very high and long over the long-on boundary. Great shot
Massive six over deep mid-wicket, Mooney dropped short and it was wacked away
pitched up and Louis went for the big shot. It took the outside edge and flew over the third man boundary
short delivery to finish the over, Klazinga completely misses it.
the Snyman has gone! He went for the big hit over the top and didnt get hold of it. Kevin took an easy catch at mid-off. A good innings from the Namibian.
over pitched trying to go for another yorker, hit to mid-on
another yorker just hit to cover
