can england beat ireland?

england can lose in ireland.

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.

Impressive : sounds like a Thinker !

Captaincy material ....Good Luck to him in his dissertation as well !

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.
