Morgan the magnificent

Well done to the Dublin man.

Or well done to the English man,depending on what view to take.Suppose what ever way you look at it hes more Irish than Rory

Sure we are all Europeans now.

Captains Eng v Ire on Thurs

Out for one today -but always hard to follow two huge innings when you're expected to go for quick runs to facilitate possible declaration.

What a f*****g insult to the Irish. Next Thursday Ire v Eng Clontarf  SOLD OUT . . I bet the majority of the tickets will be on e-bay this morning going for 1/4 the price...It's Like Irel v Eng in a soccer international and them sending over Port Vale(sorry for the insult to Port Vale fans)..The star attraction is of course Eoin Morgan (and lets make him captain to appease the Irish) . . I bet without anyone into cricket looking at google can even tell me the whole teams first names



England one-day squad to face Ireland:
Morgan (capt),
Bairstow,
Bopara,
Borthwick,
Dernbach,
Finn,
Kieswetter (wkt),
Onions,
Patel,
Stokes,
Taylor,
Trott,
Woakes.

I agree with AD.

Just on Morgan, he's not test standard and is lucky that there isn't much on the county scene to replace him. If England pick 5 bowlers and Trott comes back he's out.

Morgan is most definitely up to test match standard, of course he is not be the best batsman in the team but then again he is playing in the best side in the world and has only been playing test match cricket for a little over a year.

Eoin Morgan produces more magic hitting with a fifty and a hundred in the first 2 ODIs against Australia.
Still not enough to prevent abject England sliding to two defeats.
He went off with a foot injury -danger he may miss this w/end's match.

VUB  EOIN IS A CLASS PLAYER MET HIM AND HIS PARENTS AT STORMONT (LOVELY HUMBLE  FAMILY) HE PLAYED WITH MY NEPHEW AT UNDER 17 AND NO DOUBT MADE RIGHT DECISION FOR HIM JOINING ENG . ID LOVE GET BEST 12  HURLERS DOWN SOUTH AND PUT THEM ON BOWLING MACHINE AS IMO THEY BE CLASS AT HITTING SIXES AND LOVE SEE THEM SWITCH HITTING

Absolutely -top hurlers would make great batsman.
Pity there's not more crossover. I know that today's training and match schedules would stop the best guys from doubling up -but when they hit their early thirties they could have a go at cricket -bet they'd love it.
