Nothing against ye cricketing lads at all,everyone has different ideas about which sport they like/dislike,point of my last post was i disagreed that it was a loss to Irish society.
Two stalwarts of world cricket Pakistan and Zimbabwe certainly seem no better for cricket,maybe the words of Mr Grace got lost in translation. |

Lest anone accepts the term "cricketing lads " as descriptive of my sporting priorities , cricket is only one of the sports I am interested in , and despite my interest in it as a game ( and as a betting medium ) , I have never been a member of a cricketing club ( as against a lifetime GAA member / player / supporter ) . In total I have paid into about 4 matches in my life , all at "North" of Ireland , to see the Aussies , West Indians , Indians play Ireland . Long time ago , but they were stars .
The availability of cricket world wide is the attraction for me , plus the fact that a lot of different countries and sporting cultures find it fits into their curriculum . Did play it at street level in my early years , to a good standard , the guy who was about 5 in our ( street team ) pecking order played for Ireland many years later . Batting is easy , bowling requires different sporting criteria . Michael Cusack of Hayes Hotel etc fame , was a cricket fan , think he hoped it might be part of the "Irish " sport scene despite its association with the then "establishment " . Glad to see an improvement in our world staus , but we will never crack the top closed doors syndrome without major upheavels in the game as it stands . In the meantime it can be great craic despite the sleepy nature of a lot of matches , the IPL have got it right , partly because nearly everybody playing in it is good . |

Another murderous innings from Morgs - 71 in 36 balls , an incredible rate of almost 12 an over.
Other batsmen not up to it as England go down to W Indies. Some suggesting he was sent in too late at no.5 instead of the more usual no.4. When he gets going he's virtually unstoppable. |

Should put him in charge of NAMA . He has added 1 million to his net value in a couple of hours of batting recently . Wonder could he do anything for them ?

I think Porterfield is the guy who should be sent into NAMA -as he owes Ireland a whole heap of runs.
 By the way -what exactly is NAMA ? I haven;t a clue myself . |

Catch of the tournament by Morgan in their Q/F (as good as) Vs Sri Lanka just now. Could end up being the game winner as Swann took another wicket next ball.

Malinga ripping through the early batting -Morgan just in with 3 down -a big ask to score at the current rate.
England struggling bigtime here ---where's Poulter ? |
