Ireland are in the Caribbean for some ODI's and T20's. I'm hoping we can build on our encouraging start under Pollard and Simmons.

The selectors announced 2 squads.

Roston Chase
Sheldon Cottrell
Shimron Hetmyer

Why not try Cornwall in white ball? Isn't that his best format anyway

 

[Beamer]

I agree with you but I'm pretty sure they've decided his lack of mobility can be managed in tests but not in ODIs and T20.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

As a batsman he definitely suits limited overs more, but his bowling does seem more geared to the red ball.

 

[Beamer]

Was very hypocritical when they were still picking Ashley Nurse though.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Also, Dennis Bulli?



Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

i hope that irish swing bowler who played in the england test gets a tour. cant remember his name for the life of me but with a good coach he will be genuinely good by anyones standards, not just ireland.

 

[NUFAN]

Colonial Medical Insurance is definitely one of my favourite medical insurance companies.

For those playing at home, watch out for Mark 'truth' Adair.

 

[Flem274*]

thats the swing bowler. mark adair. he's going to be a gun with the right nuturing.

 

[NUFAN]

I legit didnt even read your post until after id submitted mine. So yeah haha, I agree.

He actually isnt the worst batsman either. He hasnt yet shown it, but is definitely a bowling all rounder.

 

[Beamer]

Also, Dennis Bulli?



Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

He's not a bad left arm Chinaman bowler.

No BS

You obviously have seen a fair bit more of him than me, but from what I've seen he is absolutely horrendous. Can barely land them on the cut surface

Definitely not international class because of his lack of control, bit he's pretty good when he gets it right and has good variations.

Fair enough then. Having have only seen a little bit myself I am definitely willing to take your word on this one

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bulli had that one good game against us (Guyana Jaguars) in the last FC Season, I think he took 3 wickets., Wasn't that special.

He was replaced by Akim Frazier in the next game and he made a mark right away. Taking 8 wickets in the game...Jamaica Scorpions trounced us by 8 wickets.

 

[Beamer]

He has definitely been more effective in List A, he's not s 4 day prospect at all. Frazier is however.

Ireland lost to the Presidents XI in their warm up. Decent runs for a few of their batsmen.

For Windies Darren Bravo, Justin Greaves and Brandon King all got runs and Sheeno Berridge was miserly.

extremely good* name for a company operating in the Caribbean
