The K Factor



No its not Ekta Kapoor, its our Kevin O’Brien! So before you all ask me how Kevin is ours, I can tell you that most cricket followers support a minnow team or a team ranked lower as compared to its opponent, same was the case with England, England is test playing nation, invented cricket and they now look so confused and lost, they need a guide maybe, anybody with nice resume?

So, coming back to topic, KO was in best form that evening, England gave them a tough target to get, 5 down for just 100, no one believed Ireland can get remaining 220+ with just 5 wickets left, but cricket fans that have watched Ireland play in T20 WC know what the O’Brien brothers are capable of! KO stands next to his brother, at slip, taking awesome catches, the pinkhead is a mystery because how times have we played vs Ireland? 3? 4? What can you know about a batter in that short time!

So, the pinkhead decided to take the game away from England, honestly, they were not winning anyways, less than run a ball and just 5 wickets left, if you look for partnerships you get required run rate climbing up and up and then beyond reach, KO just wanted someone to support him at other end and give the English bowlers a taste of Ireland tadka!


For the biggest upset in this WC, our dear pinkhead played inning of his life, so what they didnt make it to quarter finals, they did leave a mark!


GO IRISH!
