After bowling out B'desh for 205 we should ave won that game, and it is between us, Windies and B'desh to see who goes through from the group, so a win today would have given the blarney army a great start, but some very poor shot selection and some very good fielding meant that it was not to be.
With regards to the idea of Malahides new complex being used for test cricket, sadly i fear that the 5 day game will remain outside the possibilities of the ICU, though with it and Stormont hopefully more ODI's will be played on the emerald isle in coming years, and as more children are getting into the game (as more new clubs are forming even in places like dundalk), the fanbase will continue to grow.
Ah well, roll on wednesday to give the english a very good game, and if they perform like they did against the Dutch, a beating (though I doubt they will be as bad again).
