While whatever players we got for Ireland for football wasnt good enough to make the England team.
Haha Leighton you're a good guy but you're so biased towards all things green. You're commenting on a cricket player that I don't even think you know the name of whilst you've probably watched less than an hour of cricket. Morgan is a good play, no more no less. I would think he'll get a chance if Colly doesn't shape up but to suggest Morgan is going to be one of the best players is very far-fetched. One day wise he is a great player and does play for England but it remains to be seen if he a real career in test cricket.
And also, the guy who replaced him, Ian Bell, is now our batting hope. He has been sensational since returning to test cricket after being dropped a while back, adding mental strength to his gorgeous technique.

To be honest I have watched a bit of the shorter game and when that lad is on form he is one of the best players to watch. So how come he hasnt got a chance to play at this level I will never understand. As if he can score big scores in the shorter game imagine what he would do in the longer game. Time will tell. Looking at the Aussie team that Doherty lad sounds Irish to me has to have some Irish blood in him.lol.
