**Official** Ireland in England 2019

If Ireland win... surely this 6 tests in the next 3 years or whatever is the expected schedule needs to be reevaluated. It was obvious when they drew against Pakistan that they're way more ready for this promotion than Afghanistan, the loss against them not withstanding

Both Afghanistan and Ireland should have been playing tests for years. Cricket authorities are a joke. Imagine if FIFA made 190 of their 200 members play only 5-a-side until they'd satisfied the arbitrary judgement of a few suits.

Ireland have more to offer the format because we pose very unique challenges, but I wouldn't say we're exactly better at it than Afghanistan. Especially not having lost to them.

Haha I've always known that, I've just never experienced it like this before.

I like how positive we're being. First few innings showed it's the way to score runs here.

There really isn’t much else like a tight chase. Every boundary. Every appeal. Just tense.

 

[GotSpin]

A lot of life in this pitch right noe
