    Our 2021 packed schedule above. The Pakistan tour to Ireland in July is tentative, there's rumours of possible tests against Afghanistan possibly when we play them in August as well as rumours of rescheduling the Sri Lanka test that was meant to be play in Feb of this year as well as the ongoing rumours of a once off test away to Pakistan but that's unlikely this year.

    The lads flew out to the UAE today (the 27th where I am currently) and due to quarantine for a week and then play a 4 game ODI series against the UAE before we play Afghanistan in the World Super League so we really need to pick up 2 wins in that series if we want to qualify automatically.

    I have little interest unless there is a test match.

    I want to go to Malahide in the summer. Drink 6 pints and watch proper cricket all day in the sun.

    Looks like Sri Lanka test is happening in Dec.

    Also I believe we are playing (have played) a UAE XI as a warm up today, but cant find any scores for it.

    The March/April tour of Zimbabwe has unsurprisingly been postponed due to the covid situation there

    Any chance of being able to go to those South Africa matches in Malahide? I can't think of a better socially distanced sporting event than watching the cricket in Malahide really :-)

    If they don't put the stands up you could just hang around the fence and watch anyway. It's my birthday on the 3rd ODI, I think I'll head up with a bag of cans regardless.

    It's an interesting one. I don't see them allowing any "mass" spectator events. However no stands and in the middle of a public park, and you cannot stop people seeing what's going on unless you pretty much close the park altogether

    Possibly the only way to control it would be to put the stands up and have very limited numbers. Then ticket allocation becomes an issue

    Would love it if some spectators are allowed, but the specifics around Malahide will throw up challenges.

    Then there's a similar question over Stormont, where different rules will apply, but from recollection it may be easier to stop any "casual" spectators

    Either way, I reckon Niall O'Brien is going to be busy with the likes of Sky over the summer


  • Registered Users Posts: 598 ✭✭✭dohboy


    It's not going to be worth their while selling tickets to Malahide, I assume? But they'll also likely be wary of a big-ish crowd turning up... Hard to know what they'll do tbh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,157 ✭✭✭VillaMad


    Ireland A's had a poor first day in Bangladesh.

    Batting first, Ireland only posted 151, with Curtis Camper top-scoring with 39. In reply, Bangladesh A reached 81-1 at the close.

    35/4 second time around, 127 behind. I watched the first hour of this match, and Ireland were 31/0 off 14 overs, turned off and completely forgot about it then.

    Hammered in the end. Only got 139 second time around and lost by an innings and 23 runs. Pitiful stuff.

    Start a one-day series against the same opposition from Friday onwards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,803 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    Lost a 50 over match by 6 wickets, Ireland 260/7 Bangladesh 264/4 45.3 overs. LorcTucker made 82* in quick time, but in the first 25 overs the score was something like 90/1. Like the 1990s.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92


    George Dockrell has started the season like a freight train. Three sixes in the last over the other day to get a century. If he keeps going I can see him back in the Irish team over the summer.

    The coverage of the games has been good. Munster in with a shout today if they can get a few wickets. Think moving players around has evened things up.

    He's playing for the Wolves v Netherlands today

    Strong enough Wolves team actually

    Harry Tector (captain)
    Curtis Campher
    Peter Chase
    George Dockrell
    Stephen Doheny
    Shane Getkate
    Graeme McCarter
    William Porterfield
    Neil Rock
    Tim Tector
    Craig Young


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92


    Came in at four and helped Tector solidify the innings. Tector going well here, looking forward to following how the rest of the line-up does towards the end of the innings.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,157 ✭✭✭VillaMad


    7 sixes by Getkate in a brilliant last wicket partnership with Peter Chase gets Ireland up to 276.

    Looks a good bit easier to bat on in the afternoon for the Dutch, so a good challenge for the Irish bowlers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,157 ✭✭✭VillaMad


    Superb start by the Irish bowlers with the Netherlands 3 down inside the first 3 overs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,803 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    Win yesterday defeat today by 5 wickets after being skittle for 94. Top order blown away at 10/5. The Netherlands were helped on their chase by 36* from Scott Edwards, if he's dutch, them I'm a dutchmam


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 2,634 Mod ✭✭✭✭TrueDub


    if he's dutch, them I'm a dutchmam

    That's something that can be said about a lot of players playing for a lot of countries, including Ireland.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92


    McCarter banging on the door with six wickets today. Three for Ben White too. The batters haven't exactly covered themselves in glory thus far, but the bowling has been good.

    Boyd Rankin retiring. He was a key member of our bowling attack for a good few years.


  • Registered Users Posts: 598 ✭✭✭dohboy


    He took his only Test wicket for England with his last ever delivery for them... then took Ireland's first ever Test wicket.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92


    Dockrell with another fifty today, still going too. He must be in line for a return to the national team as a batter. Good to see Tucker get some runs today too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92


    Yet another fifty for Dockrell, and a good knock for Balbirnie to win the title for Leinster. Need someone to be able to support Stirling against the Netherlands next week.

    Munster have a good shout against the Knights, have them 178/5 after some quick wickets. Would like to see them pick up a win.

    The women's team looked very impressive against Scotland in the last three games. Bowled very well in all four games and took some cracking catches. Bodes well for the t20 qualifiers later in the year (if they go ahead).


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,478 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Netherlands batting first after winning the toss and are 48/1 after 9


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,478 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Simi Singh gets Max O Dowd. 51/2


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,478 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Josh Little wicket with his first ball. 51/3


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,715 ✭✭✭Doodah7


    Now 51/4. Josh Little with two wickets in three balls!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,715 ✭✭✭Doodah7


    Wheels are falling off for Netherlands...53/5 and Little has another. His current figures are:
    2 0 2 3!!
