I think Sky have the rights to it in the UK.
All three of Ireland's group games are on Sky. RTÉ haven't broadcast a cricket match since the early eighties and I'm sure the government never thought to include the cricket World Cup on its list of public broadcasts.
Sky don't appear to be covering Ireland's warm-up games against Canada and South Africa.
Thurs 15-3-2007: Ireland vs. Zimbabwe (Sky Sports 1, 1 p.m.)
Sat 17-3-2007: Pakistan vs. Ireland (Sky Sports 2, 1 p.m.)
Fri 23-3-2007: West Indies vs. Ireland (Sky Sports 1, 1 p.m.)
Emailed these guys to see if a new jersey would be issued for the WC, they replied to say No and to inform me that all replica jerseys had sold out. More is expected mid to late March (By which time our lads should be on the way home).Quote:

Ireland are currently playing a warm-up game against South Africa in Trinidad. South Africa won the toss and opted to bat, but David Langford-Smith ran through their top order, removing Smith, De Villiers and Kallis, before Trent Johnston bowled Herschelle Gibbs for 21. After 14 overs, South Africa are 57-4.
Three pages on cricket.
Jesus Christ.
Ireland have now reduced the #1 ranked team in the world to 95-8. :eek:

Need to finish it off now to be honest but great bowling :eek:
Should Ed Joyce not be playing for Ireland in the WC at least?seems strange that he will be representing England
Good effort against the No. 1 team in the world.
South Africa beat Ireland by 35 runs
South Africa won the toss and decided to bat
South Africa Innings
192 all out (50.0 overs)
Ireland Innings
157 all out (44.2 overs)
Strange after the last tournament to see the bowlers perform and the batters let them down. Must've been some track...
To be honest, it was the bowlers who let the side down again by failing to finish the job when RSA were on the ropes. By all accounts, the game turned on a highly dubious caught behind decision against Ireland's Andre Botha.
Is he one of the Bothas from Lisdoonvarna?? :pQuote:

BBC Headline: Irish thrash Canada in Trinidad
Ireland lost heavily to Somerset in their second Friends Provident Trophy game this weekend. André Botha broke a finger and could miss the Intercontinental Cup final. He's replaced for today's fixture away to Hampshire by John Mooney. As of now, Ireland (facing the firepower of Clark, Warne et al) are 50-2 off 14 overs, Bray and Porterfield having fallen.
