Ireland vs. Pakistan in historic test match for Ireland.

All while the stupid BCCIICC have reduced the number of teams in the World Cup which means that Ireland misses out.

Are they really trying to grow the game?

Happy for Ireland, I will not be surprise if they win their first test- Pak looking real shaky.

I'm so sick of IPL I wish this boring thing would go away and be replaced by real cricket.

Why does IPL dominate our lives for six weeks every year and trumps every other form of international cricket??

Finally!

I cannot understand why all international cricket has to stop while IPL is playing. Corruption at its worst - even if sanctioned by the ICC, Big Three, or whatever.

I was just following an exciting and thrilling WCL4 event where Uganda stormed to a shock win over Denmark on their way to the title. Of course the ICC couldn't be bothered to offer streaming of matches even though it wouldn't have cost them anything.

Only their wallets, as most people know. TV rights packages and the like.

Only the ICC can make completely incorrect claims like the 10 team tournament will be shorter (it won't) and have more competitive matches (guarantee there will be more blowouts and more dead rubbers than the WCQ)

As for Ireland v Pakistan, it's great that Ireland finally gets to play its first men's Test (the women's team played Tests some years back), question is can Ireland be competitive, as they're in a bit of a decline at the moment, their stars are aging and the young fellas are unproven.

Bai, dem chaps hate the IPL so much they try to find something, anything else to watch, even it's unwatchable as being proven by the Irish crowd, err... lack, there of.


Listen, I don't really care about the IPL as well, however, the difference is, I will watch individual players to see how they perform. Guys like Kane, Kohli, Dhoni, Gayle, DJ Bravo, Russell, etc... I want see some decent batting.

Then I'll watch the geniuses bowl, like, Boult, Southee, Rashid Khan, Buvi, etc.....

I couldn't care less which team wins... but for the fact that I LOVE my cricket.... I will watch for individual performances...... esp. when there isn't any other cricket going on......

well, until the BIG BAD IRISH playing in rain against the PAKIS......

Watched rain all day and drank Guinness
