Re: Irish cricket bandwaggon

Great to see them qualify - apart from one slip up, early on, against Namibia, and a fright against Italy, they cruised through. I doubt any of the teams will fancy playing them as they have more than enough ability to cause an upset in T20. Just hope they can keep improving during the wait for Tes...
