One of the happiest days of my life was when Ireland recently beat England in the world cup. I didn't even know Ireland played cricket until I heard the score. Haven't been keeping up with the game for a while (except to find out if England have lost). The lead up to the world cup was happening when I was in India. I thought England and Australia were fanatical about the sport, but India take it to another level.
