Last Saturday was extraordinary. I wonder what odds you would have got on England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland all winning away against Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina. You would certainly have cleaned up very nicely on a four match accumulator. It was unprecedented. How many Tests after all have the Lions won in recent series?
New Zealand on Friday defeated Ireland in a last-ball thriller in the third ODI at The Village, Dublin. With the win, the Blackcaps whitewashed the hosts 3-0 in the series. The last match that went down the wire saw New Zealand winning it by a margin of one run. Though Ireland eventually lost the match, they put up an amazing fight in chase of a 361-run target set by the guests. They almost won the match, needing 10 runs off the final over but New Zealand's Blair Tickner held his nerves well to bag the match for his side.
Switch hit is one shot that still attracts polarising opinions, with some having the opinion that the shot gives undue advantage to the batters. Earlier this week, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had said that the batters should be adjudged LBW even if the ball pitches outside leg stump while trying to play the switch hit. Now, former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris has said that the switch hit should be banned completely and the batter should not be able to change the position of his hands and feet.
New Zealand survived a record-breaking Ireland charge led by centuries from Paul Stirling and Harry Tector for a dramatic one-run victory in Friday's third one-day international in Dublin. "It was an amazing game," said Andy Balbirnie the Ireland captain. "A bitter pill to swallow, but it was great." The Black Caps looked on course for a convincing win after Martin Guptill's century laid the foundations for a total of 360 for six from 50 overs. Stirling and Tector made the tourists sweat with some superb stroke-play in a tense finish.

Sparkling centuries by Paul Stirling and Harry Tector were not enough to steer
Aaron Smith says he's hoping he can find a "chink" in the armour of his opposite number Jamison Gibson-Park, when New Zealand and Ireland face off in their deciding third Test tomorrow (8.05am).
