John Mooney (cricketer)
[1] Mooney was part of Ireland's 15-man squad that travelled to the West Indies in February 2007 to play in the country's first World Cup.[1] Ireland participated in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, hosted by England in July; the team progressed to the second round after beating Bangladesh.[10] Over the course of the 2009 season, Mooney concentrated on his batting, later saying that he felt "bowling medium pace makes you more or less cannon fodder for the real top class player".Carl [Hopkinson, the Sussex 2nd XI coach] was happy with my attitude and playing style, but I felt I wasn't doing myself justice.I've been easing myself back into bowling following my hamstring tear (sustained against Scotland in the ICC World Twenty20 qualifiers) and was short of full match fitness having been out of competitive action for seven weeks.He joins his former Irish teammate Jeremy Bray who is head coach of the team and first assignment is World Cricket League Division Four.[24] In January 2020, he returned to his role with the Danish team, ahead of their fixtures in the 2020 Malaysia Cricket World Cup Challenge League A tournament.
