    Does anyone know if this match will go ahead in Malahide, with the cr@ppy weather we're having this week?

    I'd say it will but probably reduced overs.

    If it's rained off completely will we get a refund? How many overs need to be played for a result?

    Have a read of your ticket, or the conditions attached - this should be specified.

    Ticket is in the box office so can't access it. If anyone could shed light I'd appreciate it.

    Hopefully it does go ahead, would love to see David Willey get a chance with England. Can be an awesome all rounder on his day. Arsey so and so at times too, not afraid of a bit of sledging.

    Unfortunately the forecast has gone rapidly downhill: rain due to arrive around midday and that may be it for the rest of the day until the late evening. It was looking better mid-week and the weather system may have arrived much later in the day: alas not... :(

    Last night the forecast looked ok, but this morning it's crap. Hopefully it changes again

    If getting train over tomorrow I'd recommend getting the 8:54 from Connolly. The next train, if on time doesn't depart until 9:55 and gets to Malahide at 10:20. With expected crowds and time spent getting into ground/seats you could be cutting it fine to be seated comfortably for the start at 10:45.

    Sun's trying to break through and it's dry.....


    .... for now.

    I reckon we'll get a start on time, but am not holding out much hope of them getting more than a couple of hours in. Who knows though.

    Rain about to end play for the day. A pity.

    The rain looks like it will be down until 5pm anyway.

    Perhaps a chance of some play from 6-9pm if they stick around

    If rain doesnt stop by 3-4 I'd say the games finished sadly.

    This further highlights our need for series rather one off games though.

    Irish cricket fans are definitely the unluckiest in the world anyway, get no help by the ICC, barely any games and when one sells out it rains

    I did. The weather radar has moderate to heavy rain for the remainder of the day up to 6pm, currently arriving in north Dublin from the South.

    Would guess maybe 5-6,000 in. Plenty of spare seats but I'm sure a lot didn't travel due to the weather forecast.

    Surprised to see touts trying to sell tickets outside as it clearly had not sold out - maybe they had picked up a few spares from people who had an idea play would be severely restricted

    Anyway, home now with the feet up.....

    Game over. What a shame. All that effort to erect the stands etc... Surely they can put something on in the coming days to use the facilities!

    Hold on to the tickets lads (if you have one). Cricket Ireland to offer complementary tickets for T20 qualifier or Ireland Vs Scotland T20 series.

    I was there at the ground, what a shame the match got washed out then we had a dry day yesterday.

    Screw it, time for CI to grow a set and rip up the TV schedule deal they have with the ECB and negotiate our own.

    Handing over all our TV right for one televised game every 2 years is a terrible return and needs scrapping, maybe then all our home games vs full members will actually be televised and not streamed
