Dominick "Dom" Ignatius Joyce (born 14 June 1981)[1] is a former Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman,[1] he has played 69 times for the Ireland cricket team[2] including three One Day Internationals,[3] six international matches[4] and twenty List A matches.[5] He has also played second XI cricket for Middlesex and Somerset.[6]
Playing career
[edit]Joyce's first taste of international cricket came in 2000, when he played for Ireland in the Under-19 World Cup. He first played for Ireland at senior level in July 2000[2] in the European Championship in Scotland.[7] This was followed by a three-match series against the MCC in May 2001[2] and the 2001 ICC Trophy.[8] This was followed by a match against Australia[2] and an appearance in the Triple Crown Tournament.[9] He made his List A debut in August 2001 against Wiltshire in the C & G Trophy.[5]
In 2002 he played against the West Indies A team[2] before taking part in the European Championship in Northern Ireland.[10] The year finished with matches against the MCC and Berkshire. In 2003 he played matches against Denmark, an England Amateur XI, South Africa and Zimbabwe.[2]
He again played in the European Championship in 2004[11] and the following month was named in the Ireland squad for the 2004 European Under-23 Championship,[12] though the tournament was abandoned due to rain.[13] He then played for Ireland in two matches against Bangladesh.[2] Earlier in the year, he made his first-class debut, playing against the Netherlands in the ICC Intercontinental Cup.[4]
In 2005, he played against Loughborough UCCE, Warwickshire and Yorkshire[2] before playing in the 2005 ICC Trophy.[14] This was followed by Intercontinental Cup games against Scotland, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates and Kenya.[4]
The following year, he played several matches in Ireland's C & G Trophy campaign,[5] and an Intercontinental Cup match against Namibia[4] before making his ODI debut against England[3] in what was Ireland's first ODI.[15] His brother Ed also made his ODI debut in that match, but he was playing for England. It was an unsuccessful ODI debut for Dominick, as he was bowled for a duck by Steve Harmison.[16] He did not represent Ireland again for just under a year, when he was dismissed for 10 in a Friends Provident Trophy fixture against Middlesex at Clontarf, falling to a disputed catch by his brother Ed.[17] He resumed his ODI career with a couple of appearances in Ireland's June internationals against India and South Africa at Stormont, scoring 18 and 11 in the respective fixtures.
Statistics
[edit]In all matches for Ireland, Joyce has scored 1480 runs at an average of 23.49, scoring eleven half-centuries, the highest of which was an innings of 67 against Wiltshire in August 2001. He has taken just one wicket, against the Netherlands in July 2004.[2]
Family
[edit]Joyce is one of nine children of James "Jimmy" and Maureen Joyce.[18][19]
Joyce comes from a cricketing family.[20] His brothers Ed and Gus have also played cricket for Ireland, with Ed also playing for England. His sisters Isobel and Cecelia have both played for the Irish women's team.[1] His mother Maureen was a cricket scorer.[21][20] She was also scorer in two WODIs in 2002 when New Zealand women toured to Netherlands and Ireland.[22]
