    I always think bookies have no clue on cricket. I reckon there's money to be made. Zim were 5s at one stage!

    Smashing bowling from Murtagh

    Although now we have a guy in to bat that can run between the wickets

    Phew!! Ballsy finish in fairness to Adair. Great series win that. Winning a tight one like that can only help the newbies. Again last year we lose that!

    Adair will probably be inline to play the Lords Test. With Murtagh aged 37 and Rankin 34, we desperately need a bowler.

    Whilst I’ve wanted a fresher Irish team for some time now Murtagh would be the first name on the team sheet whilst he is still performing like this.

    His consistency is unreal and could only assume that he would be the best of the senior bowlers to help mentor the younger lads coming through

    Overall this is a very good series win considering the group we have used. If we won it using the same players we have for the past 5/6 years then I wouldn’t be bothered about it but finally they have seen what the younger guys might be capable of

    Yeah Tim Murtagh is still making a useful contribution, he's an old branch still putting out green shoots :) I've nothing against older players, when they are taking wickets or scoring runs against opposition of our own standard and higher. But if they ain't performing when it's needed, they should go.

    Yep and Porters hasn't really justified his batting position over the last good while. Not that those coming in might do a whole lot better but at least age would be on their side in terms of the experience being useful.

    It's a tough job blocking, block, block, leave, leave, block, block, block, leave and then get caught slogging to cow corner but I reckon one of the kids could do it

    You are giving them an awful lot of credit. There should be at least one play and miss in that sequence
