لاہور: دورہ پاکستان کی صورت میں آئرلینڈ صرف سینئر ٹیم سے کھیلنے کا خواہاں ہے، دیگر ایسوسی ایٹ ٹیمیں اے سائیڈ کیخلاف مقابلوں کیلیے بھی تیار ہیں، چیئرمین پی سی بی شہریارخان کے مطابق ہانگ کانگ کراچی میں کھیلنے پر آمادہ ہے،انٹرنیشنل الیون آئندہ سال ستمبر میں دورہ کریگی۔

تفصیلات کے مطابق شہریار خان نے میڈیا سے گفتگو میں کہا کہ زمبابوے کے بعد دیگر ٹیسٹ سائیڈز کو بلانے کی کوششیں جاری ہیں لیکن موجودہ حالات میں فوری طور پر بڑی ٹیموں کو بلانے کی جلدی نہیں کرینگے، آئندہ برس ورلڈ ٹی 20کیلیے کوالیفائی کرنے والی ٹیموں نے پاکستان آنے پر رضامندی کا اظہار کیا ہے، ہانگ کانگ اوراومان تیار ہیں، زیادہ تر غیر ملکی ٹیمیں لاہور میں کھیلنے کو ترجیح دیتی ہیں لیکن ہانگ کانگ نے کراچی میں کھیلنے پر بھی رضا مندی ظاہر کی ہے۔

انھوں نے کہا کہ انگلینڈ میں چھٹیاں گزارنے کے دوران اسکاٹ لینڈ حکام سے بھی بات کی، ان کا کہنا ہے کہ آپ وقت بتائیں ہم تیار ہیں، آئرلینڈ نے پہلے بھی رضامندی ظاہر کی تھی لیکن ان کا مطالبہ ہے کہ ہم صرف پاکستان کی قومی ٹیم کیساتھ ہیں کھیلیں گے، البتہ دیگر ٹیمیں اے سائیڈ سے میچز کیلیے بھی راضی ہیں، اپنے شیڈول کا جائزہ لینے کے بعد آئندہ 2 ہفتوں میں ٹیموں کی آمد کے معاملات طے کرلینگے، شہریار خان نے کہا کہ ہم نے پاکستان میں انٹرنیشنل کرکٹ کی بحالی کیلیے قائم کی جانیوالی آئی سی سی ٹاسک فورس کے 4 سال سے غیرفعال ہونے کا شکوہ کیا تھا جسکے بعد چیئرمین جائلز کلارک نے بڑی مثبت پیش رفت کی ہے۔

انھوں نے انٹرنیشنل الیون بھیجنے کا اعلان کرتے ہوئے بجٹ اورممکنہ شیڈول مانگا تھا، مہمان کرکٹرز لاہور، کراچی اور کسی ایک اور وینیو پر میچز کھیلیں گے، بعد ازاں میری جانب سے دیے جانے والے بجٹ اور آئندہ سال ستمبر میں مقابلوں کی میزبانی پر اتفاق ہوگیا، رابطے پر جائلز کلارک نے بتایا کہ کوچز اور سیکیورٹی منیجر تک کا انتخاب کرلیا ہے۔

ٹور ممکن بنانے کی پوری تیاری ہوچکی، شہریار خان نے کہا کہ فی الحال آئی سی سی کے مستقل رکن ممالک کی پاکستان آمد پر اصرار نہیں کرینگے، اْنھیں اس کا خود فیصلہ کرنا ہوگا،اس دوران ایسوسی ایٹ، اے اور جونیئر ٹیموں کے ٹورز سے اعتماد کی بحالی کا سفر جاری رکھنا ہوگا۔

3-Masakadza and Brendan Taylor were looking dangerous when Andy McBrine came on and struck twice

4-Taylor carried on to score 59, and Zimbabwe set Ireland a target of 164

5-Paul Stirling was aggressive at the start of Ireland's chase

6-William Porterfield gave him good support at the other end

7-The openers added 80, and Ireland seemed to be running away with the game

دسواں نمبر :آسٹریلیا ٹی 20 رینکنگ پر بلبلا اٹھا

پاکستان کے ہاتھوں سیریز میں بری طرح شکست کے بعد ٹو 20 رینکنگ میں آئرلینڈ سے بھی نیچے 10 ویں نمبر پر پہنچ جانے پر آسٹریلیا بلبلا اٹھا۔ آسٹریلوی ٹی  ٹوینٹی کپتان جارج بیلی  اس تنزلی پر بھنااٹھے اور انہوں نے اس تنزلی پر رینکنگ سسٹم کے طریقہ کار پر سوال اٹھا دیا ہے ۔

ان کا کہنا ہے کہ مجھے نہیں پتہ کہ رینکنگ  سسٹم کس طرح کام کرتا ہے۔ ان کےبقول ہمارے ساتھ کسی مقابلے کے بغیر آئرلینڈ عالمی رینکنگ میں ہم سے کیسے آگے نکل گیا۔ اگر آئرش ٹیم ہم سے بہتر ہے تو اس کا ثبوت سری لنکا میں ٹی ٹوینٹی ورلڈ کپ میں مل جانے گا۔ واضح رہے کہ سری لنکا ٹی ٹوینٹی ورلڈ کپ 18 ستمبر سے شروع ہو رہا ہے۔ جس میں آسٹریلیا گروپ بی میں آئرلینڈ کے ساتھ موجود ہے۔

Irish Beef Stew With Guinness Stout

Irish Beef Stew With Guinness Stout

2 tbsp olive oil

3 bay leaves

2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch cubes (with some fat)

1 large yellow onion, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices

2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

1 tsp dried thyme, whole

1 tsp dried rosemary

2-3 tbsp all-purpose flour

3/4 cup beef stock

1/2 cup Guinness stout

1 tbsp chopped parsley

1/2 lb carrots, sliced

salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat a 6-quart stove-top casserole and add the oil and the bay leaves. Cook the bay leaves for a moment and then add the meat. Brown the meat on both sides on high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for a few minutes until it is clear. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary and flour, and stir well until smooth.

Add the beef stock and stout; simmer, stirring, until the stew thickens a bit. Add the remaining ingredients and cover. Place the pot in a 275 F oven (yes, the book says 275 F) for about 2 hours, stirring a couple of times. Check for salt and pepper before serving.

Dublin Coddle

Dublin Coddle

1 pound sliced bacon

2 pounds pure pork sausage links, bacon fat or vegetable oil

2 large onions, sliced

2 cloves of garlic

4 large potatoes, thickly sliced

2 carrots, thickly sliced

1 large bunch of fresh herbs, tied with string black pepper

hard cider (apple wine) or apple cider

fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Lightly fry bacon until crisp. Place in large cooking pot. Brown sausage in some bacon grease or vegetable oil. Remove and add to pot. Soften sliced onions and whole garlic cloves in fat, then add to pot with potatoes and carrots. Bury the bunch of herbs in the middle of the mixture. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover with cider. Cook 1 1/2 hours over moderate heat; do not boil. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned Beef and Cabbage

2 cups of water

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard, divided

1 medium head cabbage, cut into 8 wedges ( approx. 2 pounds)

3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill, OR

1/2 teaspoon fried dill weed

2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pound corned beef brisket

Place brisket and water in Dutch oven; cover tightly and cook 1 hour at 350 degrees (F). ( It is very important to simmer the meat slowly because boiling will cause meat to become tough.) Turn brisket over and continue cooking, covered, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until meat is tender. Remove brisket from cooking liquid and place, flat-side up, on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is 3 to 4 inches from heat.

Combine honey with 1 tablespoon mustard; brush half of mixture over top of brisket and broil 3 minutes. Brush with remaining mixture and continue broiling 2 minutes, or until brisket is glazed. Meanwhile, steam cabbage 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Combine remaining mustard with butter and dill; spread over hot cabbage wedges. Carve brisket diagonally across the grain into thin slices and serve with cabbage.

1 cup white flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 pound butter, softened

2 ounces sugar

1 egg, slightly beaten

2 ounces milk

Sultanas (white raisins) optional

Walnut halves (optional)

Mix flour and baking powder. Add butter, blending until mixture is butter-colored. Add sugar and continue to mix well. Add half the beaten egg and all the milk. Add raisins or some nuts, if desired, mixing well to make a sticky dough. Turn dough onto floured board and knead at least 5 minutes or longer. Cut dough into rounds and place on greased baking sheet or hot frying pan. Brush tops of scones with remainder of beaten egg. Place walnut halves on top, if desired. Bake at 350 to 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until brown. If preparing over an open fire, heat frying pan till very hot. Place scones in pan and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Turn and cook 7 to 8 minutes more.

	21.5 91.6 kph, Review: Appeal for lbw, it's bowled on a good length, he walks across to turn it square, turns in, he misses, and is caught in front. Doctrove's the umpire, he raises his finger immediately. Barresi wants a review, but he's gonna have to go. That was out. Landed in line, struck him in line and was hitting middle and off. 113/4
	TLW Cooper	c Porterfield b Rankin	5	7	5	1	0	100.00

	39.5 82.7 kph, Stirling bowled it flat this time, ten Doeschate had made his mind up, came down the track and tried to clear long-off but it was mistimed, the ball was quicker and he couldn't quite connect well, found a perfectly placed long-off, Mooney taking a simple catch 234/5
	AN Kervezee	c KJ O'Brien b Mooney	12	34	16	2	0	75.00
	10.1 122.1 kph, Kervezee gives it away! This really was such a soft dismissal, back-of-a-length on off stump and he just popped it straight into short extra cover's hands. He's better than that, Kervezee, and will be bitterly disappointed. Certainly not the greatest way to sign off at the World Cup, and Netherlands lose another 53/3

	49.4 from KJ O'Brien, another wide, too wide, called one, Buuman wants to steal a bye, Niall O'Brien collects, and opts to run down towards the stumps and take them out instead of flicking a throw, the ploy works and Buurman, who was sent back by Bukhari, was caught short. He has to walk back 305/7
	Mudassar Bukhari	run out (Mooney/†NJ O'Brien)	11	22	8	0	1	137.50
	49.6 from KJ O'Brien, four in four, swung away towards deep midwicket, attempts an impossible second run, it's an accurate throw to the keeper who takes off the bails to beat Bukhari's dive 306/10
	PM Seelaar	run out (Mooney)	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
	49.4 from KJ O'Brien, run-out, Netherlands slipping up in the final over, dropped into the leg side, Mooney runs in from midwicket, collects and throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end to find Seelaar short 305/8

	49.5 KJ O'Brien to Mudassar Bukhari, three run-outs, a team-hatrick, short ball outside off, slapped to mid-off, Joyce fields and returns a throw to O'Brien who takes off the bails, Bukhari had called for a single but was sent back, another one goes 305/9
