International cricket has been played in Ireland since 1987 when the Ireland women's cricket team played its first One Day International (ODI) at Ormeau Cricket Ground in Belfast. [1] The Ireland men's side played its first full-international match in 2006 at Civil Service Cricket Ground, also in Belfast. [2] Cricket has been played in Ireland since the 1790s and the first Irish representative sides played during the 1850s. [3] Both men's and women's sides had played matches against international sides prior to playing their first ODI, but these are not considered to have been full-international matches. [lower-alpha 1] The two sides played their first Twenty20 International match in 2008, the women's side having played its first Test match in 2000. [1] [2] After Cricket Ireland was awarded Full Member status of the International Cricket Council in 2017 the men's side played its first test Test match in 2018. [4] [5] Ireland play home matches throughout the island of Ireland.
In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. [6] This list details the five-wicket hauls taken on Irish cricket grounds in official international matches.
The first player to take an international five-wicket haul on an Irish ground was Australian Jenny Owens who took five wickets for 29 runs (5/29) against Ireland at College Park, Dublin in 1987. [7] Ireland's Isobel Joyce took the first Test match five-wicket haul in Ireland women's only Test match in 2000. Joyce took 6/21against Pakistan, also at College Park. [8] The first man to take an international five-wicket haul in Ireland was Scotland's John Blain who took 5/25 against Netherlands in the 2008 European Cricket Championship. [9]
