Infact, I don't think I've ever met an Irish person who even watches it let alone plays it

Nah.. the Scots aren't big on cricket either. We prefer pub based games like snooker, darts and dominoes!

I agree, the games go on for hours as well don't they

Yeah.. to me it's really just rounders for toffs

I was wondering if the Irish members here were really into cricket. Yeah, we were shocking yesterday, Broad and Anderson bowled crap, 4 pretty easy catches went down, I cant believe they chased down our total tbh.

Fair play to them though, O' Brien's innings was amazing. Ireland's cricket team have pulled off some pretty good wins in the past actually, they bowled the West Indies out for 20 something back in the 60's

And cricket is NOT boring btw

But Cricket is mostly played by poverty stricken countries.
