Is he from Kerry or Clare? Title: Re: DOUBLE WORLD CUP SHOCK ON CARDS Post by: sweet potata! on March 21, 2007, 06:23:51 AM Ed joyce from london or liverpool ?
Title: Re: DOUBLE WORLD CUP SHOCK ON CARDS Post by: Bongo on March 21, 2007, 12:01:37 PM Same as Englishmen called "Pietersen" I guess.
Title: Re: DOUBLE WORLD CUP SHOCK ON CARDS Post by: Woodsey on March 21, 2007, 12:13:27 PM Ed joyce from london or liverpool ? I think most of the teams have the odd player who has moved for their own personal reasons. Whilst I was thrilled to see Ireland win the other day and was cheering as much as the next englishman, I do think they were taking the piss a touch with the number of 'overseas' players and the ICC should probably look at it if we are honest. Title: Re: DOUBLE WORLD CUP SHOCK ON CARDS Post by: Bongo on March 21, 2007, 01:01:02 PM I read today that their wicket keeper and another player were likely to switch to playing for England...
What else can they do if all their best players play for someone else? Title: Re: DOUBLE WORLD CUP SHOCK ON CARDS Post by: Woodsey on March 21, 2007, 05:08:18 PM I know exactly what your saying. The objective of letting these teams in is to spread the sport in these countries and improve their playing base. However, if I was a young Irish kid I doubt I'd be inspired to pick up a cricket bat unless they were local heroes, at least with a irish accent.....

Overseas players? All of them have lived and played cricket in Ireland for long enough for them to become legible to play for the national team. As far as i am aware all the players in the Ireland team hold Irish passports (the only one i am unsure about is Langford Smith) Title: Re: DOUBLE WORLD CUP SHOCK ON CARDS Post by: Woodsey on March 21, 2007, 08:09:13 PM Yes but most of them are there because they are paid to be there to play cricket and wouldn't be otherwise. Anyway I think you get the general gist of what I'm saying
