Ireland’s cricketers will be hoping that the weather will not intervene when they face the world champions Australia in their one-day international at Stormont in Belfast.
John Kenny gets the views of both captains, Steve Smith and William Porterfield, ahead of the game, which is Australia’s first in this form of the game since their World Cup triumph.
It is only the fourth time Ireland have played a team ranked number one in the world and the first meeting between the sides since 2012.
