Ireland at its home is dangerous!

Stretching the Kiwis to their limits. In the ODIs at Dublin:

 

• 1st ODI. IRE 300/9, NZ 305/9 ... NZ won on the penultimate ball 
• 3rd ODI. NZ 360/6, IRE 359/9 

 

Tector has hit 2 100s in the series iirc. P Sterling hit one. Earlier, IRE competed nicely versus Ind too. 

 

Next week, IRE plays 3 T20s against the Kiwis at Belfast ... As the say in finance, if the price of a stock keep pushing the resistance, eventually, the resistance is broken. I hope that the series is interesting!

Dockrell failed when it mattered. Unlucky Ireland.

They would have won all three close matches if not for useless Tucker. They lack a talented keeper, can they somehow get Billings or foakes etc.

they should get  N. O'Brien out of retirement (joking) - he was pretty good :)

ICC has failed to develop these small nations.

 

Big teams should be playing them regularly

They beat NZ in NZ in a test. Quite an achievement.
