What Happened to Ireland?

They had an excellent world cup and earned ODI status but have seemed to go completly of the radar and i havnt heard anything of them since the World Cup.

They were playing in the friends cup for county teams. They have a big 20/20 tournament with 6 teams playing in Belfast next year to qualify for the 20/20 WC I think

Well i hope they keep up with there cricket because they had alot of potential to get a test status in the future.

Yea, I could see them being a test team in 3/4 years

Ummm maybe unrealistic they still have alot to do and need to keep the youngsters coming through they may be able to in 5 years if they do really well but i would day by 2015.

They have great youth players at at minute.

Thats great then if they can turn them into test quality players then theyll be playing test cricket sooner rather than later.

I`ve played against some of their u19s before.
