O’Brien: level of media attention hit Kevin for six

IRELAND wicketkeeper Niall O’Brien believes his brother Kevin must learn to manage the expectation that comes with his new role as a fans favourite.

Kevin O’Brien soared into the record books with the fastest World Cup century in history when he brought up his hundred in 50 balls in the dramatic defeat of England in their Group B encounter.

His innings of 113 contained 13 boundaries and six big sixes as the Irish scored one of the biggest upsets ever seen in the competition.
