Can't see Gayle playing another test. Can't even run for 2's anymore. No way he's fit for a 5 dayer.
WI will score 350+ for sure if they bat first and can get Ireland out cheaply.Maybe Gayle gets another 200 you never knowWho else is looking forward to the Ireland vs WI ODI? I mean the WI pace battery can destroy Ireland batting, but if they don't then it can turn out to be an interesting match.

That team isn't scoring 320 plus consistently so no way they trouble England.Lewis

That actually looks like a handy ODI side on paper - will dominate against Ireland, and can trouble England too
sure, not consistently...but they can win 1-2 among the 5 matches when Gayle-Lewis fire or when England collapseThat team isn't scoring 320 plus consistently so no way they trouble England.
very likely imo...England ODI bowling is poorI would like Even Lewis to get at least one 100 in the tour but unlikely
only available place is at no. 6 (Blackwood's place)Is Jason Mohammed a test prospect
The bowling worries me more tbh. Without Narine there's no mystery at all and it has no real pace. I also can't see Gayle et all being too enamoured with day night matches at the end of September. So I don't have huge expectations of our fielding.That team isn't scoring 320 plus consistently so no way they trouble England.
Not yet. If he scores big in the FC season then possibly because they like his character. But his FC career so far has been as bad as his List A form has been excellent.Is Jason Mohammed a test prospect
Will Ambris keep or Shai Hope?The bowling worries me more tbh. Without Narine there's no mystery at all and it has no real pace. I also can't see Gayle et all being too enamoured with day night matches at the end of September. So I don't have huge expectations of our fielding.
I'm looking forward to seeing Evin Lewis, he was in ridiculous form during the CPL but hasn't translated that to ODIs consistently yet. Above all I want to see what Sunil Ambris brings to the table with bat and gloves, especially given Dowrichs struggles.
I imagine it'll be Ambris if he plays, Hope if he doesn't. You named a team above with them both playing but Hope keeping which I find unlikely.Will Ambris keep or Shai Hope?
I don't think there's an XI in world cricket that Ireland couldn't possibly beat in an ODI if things went their way (ie. Ireland's best day is better than the worst day of all the other teams). Most likely scenario is them getting smashed though.Ireland could knock off that XI imo
Yeah, getting Sharjeel'd by Evin Lewis is a not-unlikely possibility.I don't think there's an XI in world cricket that Ireland couldn't possibly beat in an ODI if things went their way (ie. Ireland's best day is better than the worst day of all the other teams). Most likely scenario is them getting smashed though.
Don't they have a terrible weakness against any decent legspin? IIRC both Rashid Khan and Adil Rashid destoyed them in their last few ODIs.I don't think there's an XI in world cricket that Ireland couldn't possibly beat in an ODI if things went their way (ie.
