Not sure why Topley only got one game. Looks like a proper LO bowler, far better than Mahmood and Curran, at least on first glance.

Anyways the Simi Singh experiment should end soon. Either make him bowl or drop him. Complete no rounder at this stage.

The most encouraging thing for Ireland is a lot of their best performers in the series are still young, the team was still largely dependent on a fair few of the 2007 golden generation up until quite recently, there was always the possibility that things could fall away badly as the sands of time inevitably move on. Now the next step is for those who have been around for a while but are still reasonably young (Stirling, Balbirnie, Craig Young to a certain extent) to really take charge and guide the next generation
We're usually fairly robust to losing players, since the side is traditionally based around having lots of tricky bowling options and batting as deep as possible.

Kinda has to be that way, because anyone even moderately good plays two ODIs for England then we can't pick them. But I've learned never to worry too much about retirements.

with test status surely this changes now? if anything you might find a pile of young talent with an irish grandparent.

We’ve always done that too tbf.
I’d hope so, but if you’re good enough to and have the option, playing for England is still a no-brainer.
