What a remarkable cricketing family Ed Joyce has! 2 sisters and 2 brothers have played professionally. They're not regular players or anything, but it's still an achievement.
Anyway, a rather disappointing game for England considering their trouble to finish off the tail, but that's pretty much expected these days. A decent total, and good to see Trescothick amongst the runs again, together with Bell. Harmison, well, he can be inaccurate, and will have to monitor that at times, but his three wickets proved to be vital. As someone said earlier, had Middlesex released their two internationals, it could've been very different, but then again England weren't at full strength either. Very good signs for Irish cricket, though, they kept up the fighting spirit for the entire contest.
