bulbul Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 As an associate nation? ECB has been at the forefront in denying test status to Ireland... Ireland can't do worse than Bangladesh in Tests... Bangla was given test status for different reasons. Also they had more support,mainly all Asian crickt boards.

bulbul Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah' date=' not on merits... But Ireland deserves Test status...[/quote'] Ireland deserves,but problem is population. Money generation will be less and as we know game is now fully commercialized.
Zero_Unit Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Bangla was given test status for different reasons.

I bet you, if BD plays IRE, 4/10 times they will loose to ireland (thats atleast a 40% loose rate). Ireland is ready and they should be given the full member status which they have rightfully earned. Afghanistan on the other hand needs to wait and prove themselves... just cause they got the talent, that doesn't mean they can perform on a consistence basis.

Their fielding standard is not good enough.Let them play in Pakistan domestic like Ireland used to play in County.
jonas10 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Video Link : BQAOPP - Video Dailymotion Sorry for the Crap Quality but this is the best i can do. My laptop is very old and starts hanging while doing any kind of screen capturing. Took almost 2 hours to do it correctly. Thank you!!!!:clap:
Zero_Unit Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Afghanistan needs 5 more year. Their fielding standard is not good enough.Let them play in Pakistan domestic like Ireland used to play in County. A whole generation of new breeds is not going to come in within 5 years and start dominating on a consistent basis. Those new breeds will take time to settle down and get exposures (if the full members are not to busy battling it out among themselves) to gain experience. That will take more than 5 years. Hope these guys follows srilanka's path and not make themselves look like a fool like bangla does more often than not.
G_B_ Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Wasn't Holding a suck up to anything Eng and anti-BCCI. Is his contract with Sky done? he always had a degree of freedom. When his wife started working for the IPL he is not critical of the BCCI to that extent.
gattaca Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 It is not Holding' date=' but Ian Bishop gadhe!! :giggle:[/quote'] Be happy you got information bangali gade.
Detonator Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 i dont know why we feel shy to poach fast bowlers from australia and nz that would be as ridiculous as potraying Amy Jackson as a desi girl in Ekk Deewana Tha/I/thandavam :hysterical:
CoverDrive Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 they spit out rankin like a used gum after 1 match. these foreign recruits are on very short notice compared to genuine "english" talents like finn for them
MCGGG Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 And where are Ireland going to play these test matches? They don't have ovals in Ireland in case you've all forgotton.
rajmarie Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Ireland will not be given test status...as that will stop England to get their players into England XI. England now a big 3 will make sure that Ireland never play test
gattaca Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Mods can you change the title from holding to Ian Bishop ?
