    I've played against him many times over the years and if anything he's getting more intense. Heart attack material

    Ireland are one win away from a place in the T20 world cup after victory over Bermuda this afternoon. Seems like a very eventful game!!

    http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/iccwo...ry/363550.html

    I'm off work on tuesday so will go up if we make it into the final. Haven't been up there before. How far is the ground from the train station in Belfast?

    Ireland play Netherlands in the final.

    Ireland have now qualified for the Twenty20 World Cup. If they win the final I believe they play England in the opening game of the tournament.

    I presume the winner of the final tomorrow takes the associate 1 place and the runner up takes associate 2? If this is the case the loser tomorrow will play England in the opening game while the winner will be in the India/Bangladesh group.

    Originally Zimbabwe were in the India group but I doubt they will let 2 associates be in that group along with Bangladesh considering Aus, Sri Lanka & W Indies are all in the same group.

    Will be great to see Ireland competing in the tournament, although Eoin Morgan has nailed his colours to the England mast so he won't be playing for us. I've tickets to 3 days of the super 8 stage but will definitely get some for our games now we have qualified.

    Tried to get tickets - the whole tournament is already sold out. As for who Ireland will play - from cricinfo

    "If Zimbabwe confirms they won't play in the World Twenty20, Ireland will take their place in Group A (with India and Bangladesh); the Netherlands will ease into Group B (with England and Pakistan) and Scotland, who beat Kenya in the third and fourth-place play-off on Monday, take position in Group D (with South Africa and New Zealand).

    However, if Zimbabwe go back on their decision and play, Ireland will join England and Pakistan in Group B and the Netherlands will form Group D with South Africa and New Zealand."

    Took me 5 hours on the interweb to get tickets (I was in work!) but once I got into the site I was able to get tickets for as many days as I wanted. Got them for a fri-sun in the super 8 stage, 2 days in Lords and 1 in the oval.

    I made a mess of the groups the other night, thinking there were 4 per group when it's only 3. There is no chance Zimbabwe will be playing. We would definitely have a good chance to qualify for super 8 if we end up playing Bangladesh for a place in the next round. One group has Aus, Sri Lanka and W Indies so that will be a tough one. If Ireland manage to qualify for the super 8 I will be at it as it's one of the days I have tickets for.

    Is he signed up for England? How many caps will he get before cast adrift like that last Irish recruit?

    That's incredibly frustrating. How is Irish cricket ever going to develop when their best players play for England at the first opportunity?

    Ireland won the first match of their three-game ODI series with Kenya at Stormont today, despite only managing 148-9 batting first. The four county players contributed 19 between them; Clontarf's Andrew Poynter top scored with 23.

    Ireland bowled Kenya out for 115 inside 40 overs for an easy 33-run win. Botha took 4-19, Boyd Rankin (making his first appearance for Ireland since the 2007 World Cup) 2-26. McCallan managed 2-23. Game two is at Stormont tomorrow.

    Good win considering what the total to defend was.

    Today's match was abandoned due to rain with Ireland 18-2. Once again, county pros Porterfield and Wilson were the men out cheaply (3 + 0.)

    Any fellow foot.ie members for the Senior Cup final tomorrow?

    Not a Donemana fan, but it is on in Strabane so may take a run up.
    Tifo poles, sausage rolls and a few goals.

    No, will be supporting Sandyford CC in the Middle 2 Cup Final (weather permitting) and also abandoning the game for 2 hrs to watch the Irish game in Mainz.

    North County are Irish Senior Cup champions yet again after defeating Donemana at Strabane over the weekend. Rain forced the game into a second day with North County mustering 165-9 (Armstrong 68.) This modest total was too much for Donemana who succumbed for 112, North County winning by 53 runs.

    Aye, the middle order just folded for Donemana in the game.

    Pitch was a nightmare for both sides.

    ireland managed to beat namibia in windhoek by 8 runs in their penultimate intercontinental cup game. to make the final they need to beat kenya and make sure they make more runs in the first innings.

    Ireland 69 all out (28.3 overs)
    Namibia 119 all out (28.3 overs)
    Ireland 164 all out (48.3 overs)
    Namibia 106 all out (28.0 overs)
