1st Short Test

So in the end even 300 overs or shortened test match was too much for Ireland and Afghanistan as they created a history by playing first ever test match in this new format. After Ireland posting 327 runs in the first innings all Afghanistan did was catching up and in the end apart from few cameo knocks from few Afghani players, Ireland really were the only team looking to win this match. Irish bowlers bowled exceptionally well @WealeyH 's slider rating came in handy and the match was a very good result from Irish perspective.
