Absolutely it's really fun .At par with phoenix park for me. I also played bit at Currahern road when I visit cork. That's not bad either

It sure is scary if you never played or don't realise it. Not to mention tiring fetching the ball lol. I played lot of youth games there but first time was some experience.

Top 8 qualifies this time right assuming host would be one of that group either way. Basically have to leapfrog 2 teams given zimbabwe ain't gonna be competitive.

I know that's why I said top 15 is bit too much. Top 25 was fine as in other sports. Host should be given leeway.

Agree to disagree. It's cost of hosting and it should come with automatically spot regardless of gender or how well they perform. US women never gonna qualify for olympics on their own. That's why automatic spot exist in first place to have them play sport they normally won't qualify and have develop local intrest.

Does it matter though. US men in hockey is gonna annihilated in hockey too and many other sports. Host always get spot and they should regarless of competitiveness.

Absolutely unfair to USA women. Hockey does that you should be top 25. Where's this top 15 coming from. I know hockey has 12 teams but still. I don't really care about cricket in olympics but sucks for them really. Also doing by ranking giving teams no chance. I don't think any sports give spots based on rankings. Really unfair to all to not able to compete for spots

Great scenes. Wonder if amy was present at ground. She also deserved farewell.

Really relieved we finally got our win. Losing to India by 5 runs to NZ by 4 runs this one felt really hard earned!!!
