Pfft!
They played well against Pakistan, yes, but a single one day match proves little. They did well against South Africa in a warm up match but again this doesn't count for a lot.
The best cricket team in the world must excel at both Tests and Limited Overs cricket as Australia (and I'm a bad Pommie for saying this) have done for years, Ireland do not play test cricket - they are not deemed good enough and if you stuck them in a match against Australia I honestly believe they'd be thrashed
The "minnows" of the world cup have given a lot of food for thought to the ICC, but Ireland have a long way to go before they can start claiming to be "best" at anything cricket related (except perhaps for playing the most related players - 5 Joyce siblings have plyed for Ireland)

They are not even the best cricket team in Ireland.

ireland ofcourse is a good team but just by beating pakistan doesnt really mean ireland is best team. pakistan is a normal team even guys from their own street can beat pakistani's cricket team

Kind of.. they are not the best team in the world in reality. But in the "spirit of the game" sense they could be one of the best teams (there is New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and a few of the minnows of the game)... they worked really hard to win that game against pakistan, hopefully they could continue in the same way.

No they're won of the worst teams at the WC. Good on them for beating Pakistan though.
