I can't believe that you signed up on Boards just to post on Forums that you clearly have no interest in. Get a life and join the programme. :rolleyes:

Soccer is ****e aswell,but even that on rare occasions can get good.
Hurling has more skill ,more toughness,and you need to be a lot fitter and your eye hand co-ordination needs to be way better.
But thats just my opinion and im afraid to say,90 percent of irish people are with me

Fantiastic result, as soon as the result cam through all the lads in our club started texting each other. What an excellent way to kick off pre-season. Now hopefully we will get another influx of kids at summer camps just like after the last world cup, when we beat Pakistan.
The importance of this result for the continued development of the game cannot be underestimted.

Don't feed the troll folks, just report the post and no doubt the cricket mods will deal...

Hi. I havent got a clue aboout the rules of cricket etc. But at 2 o clock this afternoon the sports bulletin on the radio said that ireland had all but lost to england. then when i turned it on at 4:30 they were nearly there. The last half hour was very exciting to watch. And any win over england in any sport has to be a good one. Come on the Irish Cricket Team.

Amazing win for Ireland. Amazing innings from KOB. Just... amazing!

I'm in London tonight and the sky is full of the sound of cickens coming home to roost.

I tried to watch cricket before with a few mates, none of us had a clue what was going on, the beer didnt help, seems a bit too complicated, even reading a report of the match I didnt understand half of it, numbers everywhere, well done to the Irish team anyway

I'm afraid you'll have to do without looseygoosey's wonderful insights for the next week. Sorry about that.

Btw, congratulations to the Irish team, superb achievement.

This makes the loss to Bangladesh even harder to take. All we'd have to do is beat Netherlands now and we'd be likely to be through.....

BBC 2 highlights at 10 pm, but only 30 mins. I guess they were expecting a short match.

Tallaght Saint

As somebody who spent many a summer's afternoon in the Phoenix Park watching my dad playing cricket for Garda CC, i've maintained a active interest in cricket over the years. Absolutely over the moon with the result. Hopefully we can push on against India. Would be a disappointment if we don't pick up more points against Netherlands.


Speaking to my sister in London, she's dying to go to work tomorrow

'mon Ireland!

Drop the Ball

Congrats to the Irish cricket team, a great performance and it put a well needed smile on everyone face. Keep up the good work.

Sitting at my desk in NY on a very long conference call, every few minutes one of the Indian guys working here would pass by my desk with an update on the match getting more and more excited by the minute. When he came by with the final result I though his head was about to explode. As somebody from a family full of cricket players I have a lot of regrets never having played the game myself. This is a fantastic achievement for all the cricket fans and players in the country who against similar odds than they faced today never let the sport die in Ireland. Bravo and I hope a new cricketing generation will now be more inspired than I was as a lad.

Bandwaggoning fool.. Was this your first cricket match? Do you understand how the international game is structured? What about Joyce, he a traitor as well?

Far from it. I actually play and most people in my club felt that way today. Text after text had a go at Morgan.

Great day for Ireland and jsut shows you don't have to be a traitor to be a success.

Joyce came back and well done to him

The game has even gotten Cricket a piece in the New York Times, which is really saying something.

“They go out here with an attitude of ‘we’ve got nothing to lose,’ and they don’t,” Strauss said. “That doesn’t make things easy for you.”

Morgan is not a traitor. That's unfair.

He is a super player who got to play for a test nation.

Didn't see or read the game this evening, but sitting by the fire here after reading this thread in full, can I raise my glass to the gallant Irish team on their heroic performance. And if people want to jump on the band wagon let them, Ireland needs all the support. Well done lads, well done.

It is quite amusing though that at the moment its England who really need him not us.

I thought this stupidity was a thing of the past :eek:

Mushy

Typical had to miss todays game for work. Heard England had posted a big score which I didnt realistically Ireland to come close. Then on radio it mentioned they needed 37 from 40 balls so was perplexed and delighted. Then to find out they won....Wow!

Fair play to them all, theyve given the country a much needed sporting boost!

mr.jingle

Johnston,Mooney and O'Brien make toast of England! Won't suprise me if thats a newspaper headline tomorrow!:p

Honestly gave Ireland no hope today and i'm delighted they proved me and a lot of others wrong! I've been into cricket about 10-12yrs maybe more and this is without doubt the greatest achievement of any Irish team apart from maybe the Grand Slam rugby teams. A great perfromance from all the team i've only seen some highlights and watched the first 10 overs of Irelands innings on lunch in PaddyP(28/1 at the time)and thought the start they had after Porterfield went was very crucial they could has easily folded. Well done to the team and hopefully they can do the same against India and lightning does strike twice!

ps. What a pity they didn't beat Bangladesh now:mad:

Watching the highlights here. O'Brien looks like he is just swinging because he is wizzed off

I find your attitude bizarre and I doubt that you represent the average Irish cricketer - if you really are one. Why would anybody begrudge Morgan wanting to play at the top level of his sport?
