3/4s eaten up already. A bunch of starts not good enough by them in the first dig a likely scenario now.Good lead on 1st innings.
Not a chance with how much it costs to put on a test. The associations can't afford it.(wonderful it would be though)A fun test match this. A three-match series would be wonderful
They showed the "crowd" and there was no crowd. Just a handful of spectators watching the match on the ground. A 3 match series with no spectators doesn't look good.A fun test match this. A three-match series would be wonderful
One of the big 3 has to conduct a test tri-series with Ireland/Afghanistan and one other nation like NZ, WI, SL, BD or SA. No need of a final. Team with maximum wins gets the trophy or the trophy is shared if teams finish on equal wins.Not a chance with how much it costs to put on a test.

ICC and big 3 need to sort it out to keep test cricket being played in the other nations.
The first real cricket I can remember vividly was a Tri-Series with the WI/NZ in 2004. Would be a good idea, doubt it will happen though.One of the big 3 has to conduct a test tri-series with Ireland/Afghanistan and one other nation like NZ, WI, SL, BD or SA. No need of a final.

In this scenario, people might come to ground to watch the neutral match too anticipating on how it might affect the standings of their own team.
It is still anybody's game and actually 60-40 in favor of Ireland.I think Ireland have blown this.
I know how Ireland have a habit of 4th innings collapses though. That's why I would make Afghanistan favourites.It is still anybody's game and actually 60-40 in favor of Ireland.
