his names ciaran langan, it wasnt actually 11 wides there was a 4 wides and a 2 wides therehe has a fairly unique bowling action, not entirely unlike Malinga's, most of the rest of the bowling was pretty wide too 33 wides in all. That rothman guy who made 77 was the difference between the 2 sides i've never seen someone play and miss without getting an edge so many times
He got a duck next innings.

It was a good day for Leinster sides in the First Round of the Irish Senior Cup, LCU sides winning eight of their twelve match-ups against teams from the Northern unions. However, star-studded Railway Union, fielding internationals such as Kevin O'Brien, Trent Johnston and Thinus Fourie, were knocked out at Limavady. Rush racked up a monstrous 381-7 in their 215 run victory over Lisburn and Leinster's Keeley Todd scored 173* in his side's win over CSNI.

Sheridan, do you know what clubs play at Bird Avenue, Clonskeagh? I can see the crease from an upstairs window and notice the odd bit of activity, so wouldn't mind spending a lazy sunny afternoon watching a match.
edit: you just logged out so I did a Google search. It would appear it's only used by schools? The grass doesn't seam to be cut very tight so such wouldn't be too surprising.

Damn, not exactly high in the glamour stakes! Never realised cricket was popular enough for clubs to have eight teams. I suppose career longevity has a lot to do with it.
Cheers for the info Bob. Though I've no 'would watch in my back garden' match til the 24th. Nice to see we got through the opening round of the cup anyway.
Myself and Schumi were flat hunting last week and came across a listing for a flat which was adjacent to Leinster cricket pitch in Rathmines. It had a balcony facing on to the pitch so would have made for perfect viewing but sadly it turned out the place was already gone by the time we saw the listing.
Check out my new sports blog http://www.action81.com
i wonder how often those flats lose windows? I know we had to put giant nets round rush to protect the houses, mind you Rush isnt the biggest ground
Anyone who wants to see England's Ed Joyce in action, trot along around lunchtime to College Park (admission free, of course) to see him play for a Trinity President's XI against DU. Starts at 2 p.m.

Sad to hear that Gerry Lyons of Leinster has passed away. R.I.P.

sad to hear, RIP
Ireland restricted Warwickshire to 211-7 off their 50 overs in today's Friends Provident Trophy match at Stormont. Bowling: Rampaul 10-0-53-2, Eaglestone 5-0-26-1, O'Brien 9-2-45-1, Cusack 6-0-20-1, McCallan 10-0-28-0, Kidd 10-0-37-2.
Decent effort from the bowling attack, but the Irish middle order (3-6 are Stirling, Cusack, White and O'Brien) looks a little brittle. It will be a tough chase on a slow track.

Ireland 97/2 off 20 overs. Strydom led the way with an excellent 35 off 30 balls. It will be disappointing if they don't chase it down from here. Porterfield and Cusack at the crease.

Ireland won with four wickets and 3.2 overs to spare, Kevin O'Brien finishing the game off with a six.
Porterfield held the innings together with a slow-paced 69 as most of the middle order got out after making starts. Strydom, Stirling and O'Brien were impressive with the bat. A good win for Ireland, probably not as prestigious a scalp as those attained in the past few years but thoroughly laudable nonetheless.

A win is a win
too right, now lets try and get a few more wins under the belt
Nice to N O'Brien doing well recently, I have a feeling that England might want to pinch, a batting catcher is something they are having trouble with.
Our seconds were in a nail biter yesterday in Rush and lost by one wicket. Match report posted already.
