His maximum over long off was up there with any other stroke played on the day. It was hardly a procession for the West Indies from there as George Dockrell and Mark Adair displayed a welcome ability to dispatch failed yorkers over the rope, but it always looked a tall order for the Irish tail. Lorcan Tucker tried to counteract the latter with a ramp over fine leg, only to run the ball off the face straight onto his own middle pole. The glare Joseph gave his victim told what he thought about the shot.
Gareth Delany received a similar silent send-off when he saw a yorker disturb his own timber. The positives from an Irish point of view stem from a doggedness with the ball early on in the first innings, a willingness to keep pounding away at a good length and capitalise on resultant errors. The rewards came when Delany and Tector took good low, diving catches, with Tucker and William Porterfield clinging onto more routine efforts. Josh Little was tasked with bowling three spells, one exploiting movement off the pitch with the new ball, one to shift momentum in the middle overs, and a final effort to limit the damage at the death.
His late success hiding the ball from the West Indies tail outside off perhaps showing the benefit of regular bowling on the franchise circuit.
Elsewhere, Andy McBrine looked at times exquisite with his stroke play after being promoted to number three. It was a harsh end to see him retire hurt after being hit on the helmet by a Smith bouncer not the only time extra pace troubled an Irish batter. Positive signs threatened to secure a confidence-boosting victory, only for a brutal West Indian blow to dash Irish hopes.

View all comments Quite fun for a while but after a while beheadings and kickings become a little tedious.
Me and my Mate still play it now. Was a riot picking up the barbed sword and beating the rhinos until each and every head was popped off View all comments 9. Even today I like to start a tournament every now and then, and await the arrival of the rhinos and the special weapons! Also very fun in 2-players mode! Zeke I liked to play this game a lot, and whatsoever liked it as it was.. The singleplayer opponents always have those unfair attributes -try to beat some fireblowing lizards in rugby..
