As the Ireland players embark on their 2008 cricketing year, the final postscript to last year’s World Cup finals is in the shops.

We have had the books, now see the video. For all seven weeks of Ireland’s great adventure, Irishman Paul Davey, a documentary maker, followed the team with camera in hand and the result is a wonderful dvd capturing the unforgettable experience of a squad who went to their first World Cup expected to play three matches and return home but stayed to beat two Test nations and tie with another.

As well as the key match highlights, there is, thanks to physio Iain Knox, exclusive footage from inside the dressing room and on-the-spot interviews with many of the players and key officials.

The win against Pakistan and the Super Eight victory against Bangladesh may have been the highlights but the amazing events surrounding the death of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, who was staying in the Ireland team hotel, is extensively covered while the reaction of the Irish fans is not forgotten.

For anyone who was part of the Caribbean experience, it is a ‘must view’ and the, hopefully, not once-in-a lifetime experience will be enjoyed by even non-cricket fans.

Breaking Boundaries is available in shops now and on line from www.irishcricketdoco.com,
