Highly illustrated gift book charting the Irish cricket teams unbelievable World Cup adventure with exclusive behind the scenes photographs. Green Wickets charts Ireland's journey from the last gasp draw with Zimbabwe, the epic win over Pakistan and the full escapades of the Blarney Army.

Add in the curious Bob Woolmer affair and the book makes for a colorful and intriguing story of a remarkable few weeks in Irish and cricket sporting history that will never be forgotten. In Green Wicket, Ed has sourced behind the scenes images from the team members and has extensive interview notes from all the protagonists. The book also features chapters on the islands and countries Ireland visited for their matches.
