'BREAKING BOUNDARIES' Ireland's Extraordinary Cricket W. Cup

[Ballista121]

Ireland = The Most Talented Team yet to comeee :), lovee from Australia

[district2d]

All the best for Irish Cricket, i think with more funding they can challenge any cricket team consistently. It will be good for all cricket if Ireland can get fullly professional team out there.

[melglen1]

ireland should relace bangladesh as full member test nation

[MrIndian005]

@melglen1 That's stupid Bangladesh is even better than Zimbabwe

[melglen1]

@MrIndian005 are they ? bangladesh s record doesnt show that

[MrIndian005]

@melglen1 Bangladesh ranks NO 9 in ODI's Zimbabwe 10 and Ireland 11.They are no.9 in tests and Zimbabwe is currently unranked because they played too little matches after returning to test cricket.Actually why should a team be replaced to give test membership to Ireland.Noone was replaced while Bangladesh and Zimbabwe got it.Why they just can't be a 11th full member?

[MrZiiine]

This just isn't right..feel so sorry for Bob Woolmer..God bless his soul. Its more a vid of him dieing of shock than "Irish cricket". Do a updated version of like Keven O brien ripping it vs England.

[shailendra1211]

3 vote for dislike surely porkis. They pissed in that world Cup 2007 & later in 2011 against India. Bob Woolmar was murdered but that case was dumped because so many higher pakistan authorities name were coming in that.

Cheers for Ireland & hope for future that ICC will review its decision of not plaing Ireland in WC 2015

[dirtonmind]

@shailendra1211 or maybe dislikes were from stinky indians because at the start they said professionals like australia, srilanka , england , pakistan but they didnt say india .. haha loser

[Seanmcdhuibhne]

@ancientphoenixians. At a time when even I was taking interest in cricket let's hope we get in, for it's been the first time I have ever seen school kids thing trying to play it.

[italionsatllion]

ICC are real cunts. Banning a classy team like ireland in worldcup. This is disgrace to cricket. They should be encouraged as they got really good players.

[Seanmcdhuibhne]

@ancientphoenixians. You my friend may be unaware that Ireland is excluded from the next world cup even though their ranked 10 th in world and not in " the elite club" or full members of the ICC Has this "club" got a fear of the underdogs What other international sport in the world have this stupid rule, or has part timers ranked in the top ten? In all other sports people always cheer on the underdogs. I think I'll stick to paint drying

[ancientphoenixians]

@Seanmcdhuibhne I agree that the silliest decision they could make was to reduce the number of teams to 10, but there is a huge outcry among people in all nations to support ireland, I think common people in other countries like india , australia and even england support Irish cricket.Its just the ICC which cant see it.

It wont be a surprise to Ireland in the next cup due to the hge public outcry.

BTW next years T20 world cup has increased the no. of teams to 16 ....

that may just sound a relief

[Seanmcdhuibhne]

@1984ioc with respect to cricket fans, if paint drying was a sport I would rather watch it. You should watch a game of hurling which is the fastest field sport in the world and you will understand why I don't like cricket.i am a big rugby, Gaelic, hurling,and Glasgow Celtic fan.

[ancientphoenixians]

@Seanmcdhuibhne You my friend , I think is unaware of the T20 revolution !!!!

its fast exciting and thrilling, maybe you've got the impression of 5 day long test matches...

People like tests only in countries where cricket's famous like hell.

Ireland should concentrate on T20 which i'm sure more people will like than currently do !!!!!

[Skip0hsa]

Im not even Irish and I love their cricket team. Hope to see more development and congrats on the English defeat and fantastic performance against India this WC. Your team has proven more than worthy of test status.

With love from India

[Seanmcdhuibhne]

Ex Man U manager, once said. "Cricket is the only sport you can put ON weight when playing". They throw the ball like a ballet dancer. Having a bowel movement is more physical.

[1984ioc]

@Seanmcdhuibhne and your point is........if you dont like cricket,then dont watch cricket videos,and if ur just a football fan then rugby players laugh at ye for yer lack of physicality and pathetic diving etc..i love most sports,doesnt have to be physical to be enjoyable,sometimes tactical is just enough

[majicboy1]

congrats ireland for beating england in the 2011 worldcup :)... from pakistan :):):):)

[aaronboda24]

Kevin O Brien is a SICK allrounder!!!

[aussiesurfer28]

further shows how idiotic the ICC's decision is that from 2015, World Cups will only have 10 teams instead of the current 14. What happens to the developing cricket nations like Ireland, Canada, Holland etc if they are excluded from playing at the top level? hard to think of another sporting organisation that has such insipid administration as that of the ICC.

[1984ioc]

@aussiesurfer28 well said mate,there is no other sporting organisation with this idiotic frame of mind.Everyone else is trying to develop and expand(even look at soccer who will be playing a world cup in Qutar,just to expand football in the middle east).as far as i know ireland only played 6 ODIs since the previous world cup.what a joke,it looks like irelands best players will have to play for england to fullfil their promise and careers.What a joke and sick for any irish cricket fan

[krikbestplayer34]

@aussiesurfer28 ofcourse dud completely agree.. countries like ireland and holland can beat countries like pakistan england like it did in the world up 2011, .... they should atleast be 14 qualied new teams including the young develop cricket nations..

[patav2]

What are the names of those 2 songs used?

[ShimmyMarcus]

@patav2 It is original music from the film - composed by Len Arran.

[suleman666]

ICC r cheaters...Ireland is such a great n exciting team they deserve to be full member of ICC..Irish cricket is going worst playing with scotland n those low teams..Ireland kick asses of so many world class teams so how come they r not in world ranking..ICC sucks..

[killintymm]

wonder how much money pakistanis made.

[cuteamyn]

@killintymm i honestly think there was match fixing involved. but good to see our team made ireland happy for a day lol

[england4ever1000]

IRELAND V ENGLAND 20/20 world cup 2010 , wat a match . with BOPARA , PEITERSEN , KIESWETTER , STRAUSS , SHAAH , SHAAHZAD , RASHID, WE WILL HAMMER YOU IRISH . ANY ONE AGREE? ULSTER WILL ALWAYS BE FREE .

[thivakar]

I always love seeing under dog kicking dominaters ass, I loved when Bangaldesh beat India and I loved when Dutch beat England in last W20

[england4ever1000]

@thivakar harsh . but fair , we where shit , that day .

[zeb120]

I dont know what happened to Pakistan in 2007 as it started to go down after 1999. I guess Pak is coming back and will be in 2011 finals again.

Long live Pakistan .

[khisraw420]

ireland beat yous shut your mouth soon Afghanistan will cuz afghanistan beat ireland

[MrRant25]

Test cricket for Ireland! At the very least they should be admitted into the County Championship as the 19th 'county'.

[england4ever1000]

@MrRant25 IRELAND was the 19th country 2 seasons ago , but since then SCOTLAND, DENMARK, HOLLAND , WALES , FRANCE , SPAIN , have all aplide to join , this year its HOLLAND , SCOTLAND , . but iff IRELAND try to become an anual 19th county all there players stay and get citezenship in england , like morgan is trying too .

[kaziabir1]

LoL but i love the ireland team although they beat Bangladesh in t20. Farmer, Sellsman, Postman and a teacher??? lol unbelievable, Good Luck to the Ireland team. :D

[hdhatt05]

i know huh.. the usa players have more facilities and chances..we jus jus need passion for da game we love and pride for the country we play for..which state r u from?

[kaziabir1]

I'm from NYC baby!!!! i play high school level cricket tournaments in NYC, well trying for something bigger, still need some practice. what about u? yes that is true that we have the facilities, all we need is more people to pay a little more attention to the game :D

[Rafeh]

As a pakistani i ll say very good job ireland. Hope to see u guys play cricket at full pro international level one day.

[evertonian6]

we're at it again

[2611InsideJob]

you got your ass kicked lol. ireland will never beat pakistan ever again. we are the world champions! pakistan won world cups in cricket and hockey and we improveing in other sports.

[evertonian6]

ireland are not bad for a country where i've only ever seen one cricket club in the republic of ireland. considering that cricket is behind rugby football hurling soccer boxing basketball hockey tennis athletics and so on, its an amazing achievement that we managed to beat pakistan just once. pakistan should take up hurling. you're good with wooden sticks.

[hdhatt05]

i hope USA could do somethin like this. we jus need passion!!

[ConCon75]

your team is ok at the world league.

Just need more players.

[kaziabir1]

Yea, I'm just waiting to get in the U.S under 19 :)  although it will take time...

[mobyuv]

wow yanks play cricket is anyone really good or just average

[umair775]

i think it was just one of that day that pakistan were not in the game at all and i feel sorry fr our team coach bob he was a great coach and bring pakistan cricket up to the standards. but in saying that pakistan is still one of the best teams in the world. its just a game and winning and loosing is part of the game. its not about how bigger or best team u are its just about the day u play better the better team wins. and on that day ireland was better but i love pakistan and they are best..

[daveslat111]

that game didn't mean anything, we had already qualified for the latter stages and of course we went on to win that tournament

[hathyar]

Afghanistan beat Ireland in the qualifing WC round. ...................

[ConCon75]

Afghanistan

are a great team. I hope they qualify for the next WC.

Im an Irish man btw

[daveslat111]

i dont think its quite fair to say that it's like iraq beating france in footie, ireland are comfortably the best associate nation, with 7 or 8 guys playing pro in england, a couple of more on pro contracts at home and joyce and soon morgan playing for england, we also beat bangladesh and drew with zimbabwe at that tournament so if you're looking for comparisons its probably more like belgium beating france

[devaworld]

i liked the beggining when the guy was talking about the irish players. But i just loved it at 0.50. great music to go with the video

[13nick27]

Cant belive it we beat pakistani yeyeyeyeyey

[thatmanaa]

i got 2 watch them train 2day and got 2 talk 2 them my bro went 2 skool with ranking and portaflied

[ConCon75]

My uncle played with alot of the Ireland team, when he played for bangor

[shottaz400]

one of the greatest upset ever!

[msra6cf2]

cant blv that happened.. if u watch football.. its like iraq beating france 7 goals to zero..

pakistan vs shocked that.. still cant get over it :( ..

but well played ireland

[life2lifele55]

go on ireland! what a great match and tournament (im an aussie living in ireland) ireland's fantastic performances had ppl that never, ever had watched or taken interest in a cricket game stand up and give the sport and the team serious notice and credit, it was a great wc

[sakinova]

hoola gente ! see the documentry on hanse cronje how he fixed matches .and in this documentry bob woolmer was interviewed and he was sick of these match fixings and how hanse dragged all team into it.this time bob wanted to go out in public and speak ,a hypothesis,and he was finished.another match fix may be.

[VIVEK0123456789]

ire land actually beat bangladesh

[maniok7]

i must say that was the fix match.....but on this time every body was blind beacause.....why not ireland won vs bangladash(such a weak team).........

you can see all match,specially watch pakistani body language?????

[vegetto456]

i wonder if i can see it here in dublin

[daveyp2007]

It can be got in music shops around Ireland north and south. Tower, Golden Disc and HMV stock it.

[englishcricketer]

amazing stuff

go ireland!

in their first ever odi against england they created history

two irish brothers debuted at the same time! but against each other!

ed and dom joyce, played for england and ireland respectively !!!

good luck guys!

cheerio

[jryles06]

the dvd is being offically released at my old school lol (belfast royal academy), i was going to go to the launch of the dvd but i forgot :( lol

[BigBruver]

Not mentioned I guess because Ireland didn't play India.

India weren't in Ireland's group and they didn't qualify for the Super 8's.

They were knocked out by Bangladesh, who Ireland beat!

[arfanrasul]

Exactly.

[madmanmonish]

hey! he didn't mention India!

:(

[simonhederman]

Sensational, can't wait to see the DVD!

[pimpran69]

this was one of the saddest days of my life

[YoTuber1001]

Mind-blowing stuff. Ireland got a good cricket team, only if they could be funded and supported well by ICC, they could really become a competitive team against all the biggies. That day still makes me sad, but I am happy for Ireland.

[graemotube]

Tears in my eye's. And I'm not even a cricket fan.When you see normal Jo's thrashing the worlds best you can't not be proud.These aren't Rolex sports stars, these are "the bloke on the street,""the man in the pub" if you will. David and Goliath in all but name.

[paganizonda96]

@graemotube Thats really expensive training equipment Vs skills since a youngster then why did Ireland lose against Bangladesh?

[silvrsur4]

Can't believe it's nearly the anniversary already, it looks really good, looking forward to seeing the DVD.

[fullback72]

Great work Davey P. Looks really good. Best of luck with it!!!

[KiodinMan]

Didn't realise they were amatures! Makes their achievments all the more awesome. Is this film going into cinemas? Dying to see it.

[BigBruver]

I remember this happening. Amazing! Can't wait to see this. Wot a story.
