Ye Gods that is a thrashing.

Ye Gods that is a thrashing.

And that was without Joyce and a few others, I feel really good about the World Cup ...

Hmm, afraid not. I take it Pune aren't a first-class side, but it's good to know Ireland are a step above them. Perhaps the tour organisers underestimated them, the Irish would likely give the Ranji sides a close game.

Ranji sides are they first class?, any main Indian players on the sides?, btw Aditya Tare was in the Mumbai Indian side in the last IPL, well I'm pretty sure he was ...

Cusack and Botha opening? I take it Stirling and Porterfield etc have been nicked by County sides?

EDIT: Guess not, just saw the other scorecard.

I'll take your word for it on Tare, I didn't watch the IPL. By Ranji sides I mean those competing in the Ranji Trophy:

Points Table | Ranji Trophy Super League 2010/11 | ESPN Cricinfo

India's rough equivalent of county cricket. As with English domestic cricket, the centrally contracted players don't usually feature as internationals take up all their schedule.

English domestic cricket > Indian domestic cricket

India have a few top class teams and then a huuuuuuge drop in class.

Ireland's final match - against Mumbai I think,

Ireland: 244 in their 45 overs - Andy White 60, John Mooney 50*, Andre Botha and Alex Cusack both got 40's.

Torrential downpour during lunch meant no further play possible...

 

[IrishOpener]

Means he looked reliable.

Heh, two sides that suck in the subcontinent going at it. The spinners should dominate that game.

If Hamish Marshall scores a match winning century the reaction down here would be priceless.

We will win though.

Hey Flem, I meant to show you this before Ireland v New Zealand at Nagpur, Feb 12, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo very close game in the end ...
