Wonderfully clueless

“Let’s cricket this!”

With Ireland and England set to face off against each other in a One Day International cricket series in Bristol and at Lord’s in May, Dara O’Briain was asked to provide some uniquely Irish commentary over the most recent clashes of the two countries.

He did a glorious job.

“Let’s do some cricket, let’s cricket this!” he started and things just got better from there.

You’ll enjoy the many references to equipment going missing from the field, glory-hunting umpires and ‘the Irish shimmy,’ which is an actual thing and don’t you dare try to tell us otherwise.

Look, just sit back and enjoy this.
