One match is pointless , a three match series is preferable Absolutely. Or more. We should also encourage any touring sides to pay a visit to Ireland. Maybe even play in a triangular tournament. Use development squads perhaps - like this one is. This would be in the best interests of the game. |

With cricket it seems the right thing to do. |

Match abandoned.
Shame for the Irish and for a lot of our team who needed a chance to show what they can do.
