    I don’t think there is huge demand tbh.

    Do you get to pick Eoin Morgan?
    Eoin Morgan can fúck off.

    He has made his bed, as such.

    Who were the other chaps who played for England? Boyd Rankin got a test or two, didn't he? I think Ed Joyce, too?

    Joyce played for Ireland then England then back to us I think.

    Never heard of Boyd Rankin, sounds a Protestant to be blunt.

    I am not really sure how it works in Cricket. Seems quite make it up as you go along. If the chaps are short in Clontarf I suspect you could get a game.

    I've looked it up and Rankin did similar. He still plays for you, I think.

    You can't really blame someone who makes the grade for England playing for them, though, can you? Would you rather play for England on a central contract for bunches of cash or for Ireland for your bus fare to and from the ground?

    Yep - they were the big 3. All admitted they simply wanted to play Test cricket. We wanted the young spinner from Somerset as well (Dockrell) but he never really made it

    Once upon a time, Ireland used to play as 'The Gentlemen of Ireland' in lieu of a national team.

    I must assume that they stopped that on the grounds that it simply became too hard to find 11 gentlemen in Ireland.
