Ireland Tour of UAE (4 ODI's and 3 ODI's vs Afghanistan)

[eth-dog]

Didn't see a thread for this and it starts at 4:30 this afternoon with Ireland playing the UAE first. Wouldn't have a clue about how the UAE will line up but Ireland will probably be something like:

Paul Stirling
Gareth Delany
James McCollum
Andy Balbirnie
Harry Tector
Kevin O'Brien
Lorcan Tucker (+)
Curtis Campher
Simi Singh
Andy McBrine
Craig Young

UAE becoming good, or Ireland declining?

Good to see, Ireland made a commitment when they gained test status to keep playing against and supporting developing nations. It’s something more nations should be doing

A bit of both. UAE certainly look to be the next potential test nation for me.

Scotland Netherlands and the USA will all push

The Scots and Dutch core are very old. USA I'm not sure about, but credit to them if they manage to do so.

Spending big the Americans, Scotland is close to meeting the criteria to become a full member and that will let them get test status. Things that’s hard with the white countries over the Asian countries is the white countries are improving with money coaching and professionalism where as the Asian nations are coming along because of how many kids are taking up the sport and playing it so the growth in Asia is more sustainable

USA are getting a heap of fringe internationals from other countries moving there to try and qualify them. Corey Anderson, Sami Aslam, Dane Piedt and Shehan Jayasuriya are all in the process of getting residency at the moment to add to guys like Rusty Theron who has just debuted.

Also Gannon and Ian Holland from Australia.

Still, UAE seem the next most likely to me.

I was going to mention those two but couldn't include them as fringe internationals from other nations haha.

ODI suspended again. COVID is affecting Emerging cricket the worst. Almost all matches are getting abandoned (postponed) really annoying tbh

5/9 off 10. Fair to say the pitch was a bit of a turner!

Ireland need 144 off about 13 overs with 6 in hand in an ODI match . Anyone watching this?
