Fair enough he wanted to play international cricket. Ireland whislt does play the odd international game is nothing like Englands fixture.

Considering there history he is one of the most hated men in Ireland and is seen as a figure head for Protestant Northern Ireland

You'd be surprised at the amount of the Irish Cricket community that 'support' England.

Having said that Cricket is only a sport played within 1 hours drive around Dublin and not much else.

My Northern Ireland catholic girlfriend and her mother absolutely hate cricket, they only know two cricket players in the history of the game.

Don Bradman because it was part of their Australia citizenship test and Eoin Morgan because he is judas lol

[The Dark Knight]

Chris Lynn smoking them again tonight, currently 72 from 38. McCullum 32 from 26. Partnership 104 from 59 .

The Heat are 1/130 after 12 overs.

[The Dark Knight]

Lynn finishes with 98 from 49, hit 11 sixes. McCullum 50 from 31. Heat 1/174 from 14.4 overs, win by 9 wickets.

[BZB27]

Unbeliveable hitting. What about McCollum destroying his bat in half with a shot down the ground.

[helicopterking]

Chris Lynn should play before Finch in every form of cricket ever.

[The Dark Knight]

Lynn would now be a certainty in the Australian T20 side and perhaps a good chance to play ODI cricket soon?

Left part time work for full time work. Made the right call every day of the week. People calling him Judas are weak as p!ss.

Lol Graham showing your lack of understanding

I'm not sure you can compare England/Ireland's history, culture etc to work commitments

You mean people that have had their family killed by the English are piss weak

Let me get this right though you are an expert on how Irish people should feel in relation to their feelings for a country they were essentially at war with

What do you think Indians would think if one left to play for Pakistan

That's extreme. Ask an Irishman how they feel about England and you get a variety of responses. Plenty of people move between The Republic of Ireland (ROI) and the UK for work, family, and leisure reasons. Plenty of people who live in the UK are of Irish stock. Trade is growing, the list goes on. Morgan is one of many except he is higher profile. He had limited opportunities in ROI and his talents deserved more. He has made a reasonable go of it. Didn't Joyce represent England and then moved back to Ireland for cricket? Ireland didn't disown him.

In regards to Eoin Morgan it was the more the way he went about it.

It was England who announced he would represent England at the World Cup despite Ireland being in it.

He didn't have the decency to let the Irish Cricket Board know first.

Eoin Morgan was also the face of Ireland's push for test status, his moving has really hampered that to the points it's now not even on the table as a discussion point

He refuses to sing God save the queen yet will happily wear the three lions which irritates a lot of Irish I know as its a pathetic attempt to show Irish pride

Admittedly my Irish grand parents and my partner and her family are northern Irish Catholics so more passionate about this than most
