Yes, England can beat Ireland.

Mark Wood and Adil Rashid have been added to the 13-man England squad to face Ireland. It certainly will be a very youthful England side. You have to hope Rashid gets in the XI. It would be terrible for the lad to fly to the Caribbean not get a game then fly out to Ireland only to sit on the sidelines again. I'd imagine England will choose between Rashid and Ansari as I can't imagine them playing two spinners.

He is a smart lad, Ketch. He graduated from Cambridge with a double first in politics and sociology and is halfway through a 40,000-word masters on the 1960s civil rights movement in the American south. He bowls left-arm spin and can handle himself with the bat. His batting is probably ahead of his bowling right now but he is potentially one for the future.

Haha..Can't laugh beyond this,poms level of cricketing has stooped down to such a low level,a level that zimbabs were a couple of years back.
They look like easy targets,and look low on confidence.
On a serious note a revamp should do.
