TBF they hit 10 boundaries in their 85 - they know what's important

You can’t lose a game if you hit boundaries.

 

[Iafeta]

Why? West Indies, New Zealand and South Africa are all test plying nations.

The Irish-English history is fairly tense tbf.

Did they win on first innings on boundaries?

Nah, they were crushed

I mean Morgan has an English mother so I’m guessing it’s not that tense.

Bad light stopped a Super Over being played to decide Day 1 honours.

My knowledge on how being eligible for a nation works, but wouldn't there be plenty of English cricketers with Irish heritage that could play for Ireland, or is there no incentive to play for Ireland where you most likely make more money in the county game?

1-26. Rankin takes the first wicket. Irish bowlers are beating the bat, but this time by just a little too much.

I know Archer had to live in the UK for 4 years as he moved at 18 under ICC rules before he could play for England despite being a British citizen at birth.
I doubt many English players are playing pro in Ireland.

This Leach bloke looks like a total nerd

Who the f**k is Joe Denly?

The Ashes will be 2 teams of nobodies derping it up for 5 Tests.

England found the answer at opener? Bat the #11 there, lol

Luckily the poms changed the residency rule at the last minute and allowed him to fast track to play for the poms at the WC. Add that to the tie result and "victory" with the boundary rule, planets certainly aligned. Archer bowled better and better as the cup went on

Should be seriously considered for some of the ashes tests

6 and out contradicts that.

Changed the rule to be inline with what the ICC says.
It was in excess previously.

My son listened to a Beatles song...he's qualified for English cricket now.

England changed a rule to the governing bodies standard to allow a British citizen to play. England are cheating and Steve Smith is the most honest person ever.

Interesting discussion.

No mention of Khawaja or Labuschagne in it though .
