Ireland ODIs

The general opinion about the ODIs in Ireland has been that it’s a waste of time in an already jammed Indian cricket calendar. But one man’s poison is another man’s candy. Ireland captain Trent Johnston says this weekend's one-day internationals against India and South Africa are of "vital importance to Irish cricket". I agree. It will definitely help promote the game in Ireland and generate some interest in the next generation cricketers.
Andrew White's only quibble? "I think the unions have got it wrong on this occasion. It should be a closed Saturday throughout Ireland because it will probably be the only time cricketers here will get the chance to see Tendulkar batting against Ireland."
