    Ireland unveil Test cricket vision

    Hamish Marshall afaik is still being discussed, the Irish Board and ECB are in discussion about it, and I'm told they still hope he will be free to play with Ireland, If we could make one more addition and add in Hamish Marshall, mixed with the upcoming youth then I would be very happy, as a...

    ***Unofficial*** Ireland Discussion Thread

    Good words Prince, tbh I don't want a lot of players from other countries, but I don't see any problem taking one or maybe two, it helps make up for the loss of Morgan, I don't want to turn this side into a International XI, presently we have 90% of the team from Ireland and I want to keep it...

    Also Rankin is far better in the four-day format, he's not very good at T20 or ODI's, I think Tim will be a vital part of the team, he's got 1700 or so runs at FC level, considering he bats at No.10 or so, that's pretty good. Also his best figures for T20 are 6/24, which isn't bad :laugh:...

    Well he's only 30, he's not exactly old. Though I would hope we would continue to bring in more youth, ''One richly talented schoolboy, Jordan Coghlan, is on his way too, once the Leaving Certificate is put to bed. The Clontarf fast bowler has already had a successful trial with Hampshire, but...

    Ireland unveil Test cricket vision

    Thanks everyone for the backing, it seems that 99.999% of the people who have read this across the world are in favour of it happening, I don't think there is anyone involved in Cricket Ireland who aren't passionate about this and making it a reality...

    **Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

    Hafeez was given LBW to a ball which him nearly in the groin, clearly going over by a foot, then for a run out of Tharanga the umpire blocks the throw by blocking Malik's line of sight, I've heard of other awful decisions but not sure what they're yet, need to read the report for those, overall...

    **Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

    Another shocking umpiring decision, two so far in this short game, umpires are ruining the game, some of them. You get these unkown umpires for some series, and it's ruin the series, oh well once the ICC is happy...

    Most run-outs by a fielder

    I'm not sure but this has to be some sort of record, 49.4 KJ O'Brien to Buurman, 1 wide, OUT, 76.4 mph, another wide, too wide, called one, Buuman wants to steal a bye, Niall O'Brien collects, and opts to run down towards the stumps and take them out instead of flicking a throw, the ploy works...

    Best fielding team?

    Well it's not right if I don't back my team, so I would say Ireland are the best fielding team. It shows when Amla was talking to Trent Johnston and he said he thought Ireland were the best fielding team in the World Cup, also Dhoni said after beating Ireland that the Irish fielders made the...
