The Irish KO the English at a game of cricket
Kevin O’Brien led his Irish team to a sparkling upset over their English rivals knocking over a total of 327 runs with nonchalant ease. The burly Irishman scored the fastest ever fifty in a World Cup off 50 balls at a strike rate of 200.0. The English were well and truly KO’d.
India awaits this Sunday.
On a lighter note:

Just a little hint to get into bed once the game’s done.

Sir Donald Bradman’s Summer Of Delight
Image via Wikipedia Donald George Bradman made his Test debut for Australia at 20 against the 1928-29 visiting England side.
Although Bradman aggregated 468 and played in four of the five matches in the series, there was very little inkling of what was to follow in the summer of 1930 when Australia toured England.
The Summer of 1930 is recalled as “The Summer That Changed Cricket”. Christopher Hilton in his book “Bradman and The Summer That Changed Cricket: The Amazing 1930 Australian Tour of England” documents Sir Donald’s innings and the reactions to his stupendous Test aggregate of 974 in five Tests; a monumental feat that has not been surpassed in eight decades since.
