Ireland scored nearly 700 runs in their second test against Sri Lanka; and still lost by over an innings. Their closest game in their brief test history was their only game against England, who they dismissed for under 100 but still lost to after being bowled out in their second innings for less than 40. They get another go in June when the two teams meet again. Meanwhile, their rating is so low that a defeat is pretty much the expected result each time they play any reasonably good team (especially when away from home): their latest one barely alters their score:
- Australia 239
- India 222
- England 222
- South Africa 163
- New Zealand 154
- Pakistan 53
- Sri Lanka 43 +1
- West Indies -20
- Bangladesh -149
- Zimbabwe -277
- Afghanistan -303
- Ireland -348 -1
