The tree-lined Malahide Cricket Club sits just 12 miles north of Dublin and given fair weather plus some last-minute walk-ups it should provide a fine setting for Friday’s one-off ODI against Ireland that heralds the start of England’s World Cup run-in.
To date, however, it remains a slightly murky place for English cricket. While they won here in 2013, two years later came a particularly grim episode. The heavens opened, only 18 overs were possible and Peter Moores learned of his removal as head coach via the media after some ham-fisted work by the head honchos.
