Should definitely have been England. On the doorstep and the match would have attracted wider interest.

We’re excited to see an Ireland v Pakistan Test though.

Anyone else a bit disappointed it wasn’t England? Would have been a nice gesture from the ECB, though I suppose it’s always going to be tricky to fit Ireland into an English summer if other opposition are more financially attractive – and the economics make it essentially pointless for England to go off touring in the Irish summer…

I was thinking England, but who will snap him up first?

It is a shame she could not digitise herself, Tron-like, to enter the Ashes Cricket game.

Scored more runs than Collingwood, playing for a substantially worse side.

Got more experience of playing in Australia than any other option.

So do we. They are excellent. But sadly not every eventuality is covered, so sometimes we have to make do.
