Slog Sweep - interview with Andrew Balbirnie
It was the morning of Ireland's crucial World T20 clash against the Netherlands, and struggling to walk, top order batsman Andrew Balbirnie realised things couldn't go on the way they were.
On this week's The Slog Sweep, Andrew opens up to John and Robbo on the moment he realised that his injury was getting the better of him, and how keeping busy is helping him along the road to recovery in today's feature interview.
He's just 17 years of age, but Stephen Doheny showed maturity beyond his years as he cracked a record 259 as his side posted 569 against Dundrum in the National Cup. Matt Sheridan of Rush Cricket Club thinks young Doheny has a very bright future in the game.
Leinster Lightning manager Mark Jones discusses the province's season so far, including the form of skipper John Anderson. There was no spot for the Merrionbatsman in John Bracewell's side named today, but Jones thinks Anderson should be in the Ireland starting line-up; he had strong words for the Ireland selectors.
Janice Walsh as always joins Robbo and John to talk about the Women's game and she has news of a massive win for Pembroke over The Hills, while looking ahead to Ireland A's tour to Loughborough.
Are IPads, computer games and TV having an impact on the local game? We go around the grounds with Barry Chambers and David Holmes.
Up for discussion on this week's #MooneysMoment - the Cricket Ireland Presidency, and John pays tribute to three Presidents who had a big impact on his international career; Derek Scott, Bobb Kerr and the late John Caldwell, who sadly passed away during the week.
