Lol, amazed we won tbh. Can we count this for the tri series?
To give you a bit of breakdown on the Irish team.
Kane is a talent, very solid bowler.
Chase/Young have, for the past 12 months, been dreadful, regularly going at 8 plus an over. I am very surprised at their success here.
Singh is a containing bowler, certainly not someone who you'd expect to take 4 wickets As a batsman he has been terrible at ODI level, averaging about 13, but he has more success at A level, and has a 100 before vs Bangladesh A in a FC game.
McCollum is a big talent, but would be regarded more of a FC specialist. Actually, if I'm honest, he's a bit odd. At club level, yes club level, he averaged 13 last year in like 8 games. Yet he has a 170 vs Scotland A, a solid dig in the Tes vs Afghanistan and now a 100 vs a strong BD attack.
I'm thrilled we won. Practice or not last time out we lost by 200 plus runs, so progress certainly made.
