Ireland v Zimbabwe

Have we just found ourself in the hitherto unexperienced position of supporting Ireland at something?

If Ireland beat Zimbabwe it'll be one more step along the road to the ICC ceasing to humour Zimbabwe by saying: 'Yes, you can play Test cricket again in a year - you'll have improved by then', when they clearly won't have improved at all.

Maybe then, nations like Kenya, who actually seem interested in cricket, can get a little bit more support in Zimbabwe's place.
