Ignorance is a bliss sometimes, ain't it?

I repeat - test cricket ain't slogging - these Irish openers are good one thing - slogging and their middle-lower order is as fragile or worse than ours. It's just that BD made them look like Haydos and Sehwag yesterday. Johnston is their only player who's closest to being world class, and he's nearing retirement. And Rankin is no better than Shafiul, and even he is eyed by the ECB.
