England beat Ireland yesterday, with a hundred by Morgan and a 4 wicket haul for Rankin leading the way. Two Irishmen doing what would have amounted to treason in earlier ages, plotting their own country's downfall...
Ballance got out for a duck though. How long before Ballance and Jarvis combine to do that against us? Or will it be Hick vs Brandes revisited?

Re: Ireland robbed by their own
The boos rang out at Malahide, from what I hear.
Sooner Ireland get Test status, the better.
Must admit I sniggered at Ballance's little cameo. Disastrous enough to sink his chances of a *real* England callup, perhaps?

Carberry was booed mercilessly. Any England misfield was cheered.
Also, Morgan only gave a wave towards his dressing room on reaching his 50. In contrast, Bopara saluted all the crowd upon reaching his own 50.

Re: Ireland robbed by their own
It is so rude for Rankin and Morgan to do that to Ireland. Give Ireland proper status.

Re: Ireland robbed by their own
well, if they are economic migrants...'n all!
ire will move along quickly if they get status as they will surely benefit from England's nearlies/couldves...like Murtagh...as well as attract other ex-colonials while they build up and establish resouces
