You speak about Irish cricket as if you know what you are talking about. I am involved with irish cricket and let me tell you that there are quite a few homegrown talent that you will be hearing about in the future.
Poynter, Balbarnie, Delany to name a few. When the Irish captain spoke he did not say that the Irish team was better than the BD team but spoke that the CHANCES of beating BD were higher than beating stronger teams like Ind, Eng and SA. They aimed to beat BD. I think by the end of the group stahes you will find that they have performed better than BD in this world cup and away from home.
Apologies to all rational BD fans

Nice to know. We have high hopes from Ireland. We need more good teams in cricket. I hope the Irish team does well and gets the test status soon.
