Madam, - All has changed, changed utterly. Indeed, I can well envisage the day when an Ireland cricket team has a good innings (against England!) at Croke Park; when Gerry Adams makes his maiden speech in the House of Lords; and when Ian Paisley has a private audience with the Pope.
OK, so the notion that cricket might one day be played in Croke Park is a bit far-fetched; but stranger things have happened. - Yours, etc,
PAUL DELANEY, Beacon Hill, Dalkey, Co Dublin.
