That is great news. The ODI world cup needs Ireland. It would be lovely to slip over the blighty for a game next June and take in Ascot or Wimbledon while there.
That would be a totally different league to the roasters who went Cheltenham Gold Cup & Twickers.

Don’t forget the Henley Royal Regatta.

I’ve been there. It was fucking roasting and some fat oaf told me I had to put my jacket back on.
Englanders are weird.

The game has just started. Oireland are batting.
Runs hard to come by out there, 15/0 after 5 overs.
53/0 after 15. Really need to start playing some shots now.
I am not overly worried. Wickets in hand are key. The Afghans have only scored over 200 once in this competition.
I just say it and a wicket goes. 56/1.

Niall O’Brien’s 100th ODI cap for his country today. An absolute legend.

79/2 after 25 overs, this is a pathetic run rate. We really need to start opening up the bat.
He plays a sport that 50 people in North Dublin and a few Protestants scattered around the rest of the country play. It’s not that big a deal.

Diarmuid Byrnes could be a cricketing legend with his lash the ball long skills.
