unbelievable World Cup adventure with exclusive behind the scenes

gasp draw with Zimbabwe, the epic win over Pakistan and the full
escapades of the Blarney Army. The team's progress to the Super

saw Ireland enter the top flight of future one day competition. Add

Wicket, Ed has sourced behind the scenes images from the team
members and has extensive interview notes from all the
protagonists. The book also features chapters on the islands and
countries Ireland visited for their matches.
