England Match Report #2: Ireland (England O'verwhelmed)

- From Real Darren Gough


Let the St. Patrick's day celebrations begin. To mark England's Ashes series victory in Australia.

For some reason a lot of Irish cricketers were cheering England's Ashes win at a game in Bangalore, immediately after Stuart Broad conceded a boundary off the first ball of his and England's last over. Immediately after that boundary, the Irish cricketers erupted in celebration. Perhaps news of England's Ashes win took its time to reach the Irish players and dressing room



Back to the game it self....It didn't seem like an important game. Not too many people had come to watch.

For this very quality in the Irish; to show such enthusiasm for a neighboring country's sporting achievements; I believe they ought to be recognized as a Test nation.

Of course that will mean another country that India will refuse to host in a full Test Series.
