    A new year and a new coach for Ireland with the South African Heinrich Malan being appointed to the role. He won't take the job though until March at the earliest and interim coach David Ripley will be in charge for Ireland's tour of the West Indies. It's been a difficult couple of years for Ireland with very few positives.

    The year ahead then is really only a guide as Covid and financial considerations will likely dictate the fixture list.

    Warm up game v Jamaica today. Handy enough win for Jamaica.


    No Stirling for first ODI saturday. Hard to see anything other than a Windies win.

    Need to avoid bottom spot in the super League table to be spared any chance of relegation

    Thats a tricky enough group for the T20 qualifier. UAE, Oman, Nepal and Canada all capable of beating us sorry to say.

    Yeah, there are no certainties with this side anymore. For a number of years, Ireland went toe-to-toe with Afghanistan but that time is well and truly over. Hopefully the new coach can develop a more consistent side and bring through a few more to replace the old guard.

    First ODI against the West Indies starts at 2:30pm today and is live on BT Sport.

    Ireland: Porterfield, Balbirine, McBrine, Tector, Campher, Tucker, Dockrell, Delany, Adair, Young, Little

    West Indies: Hope, Greaves, Pooran, Brooks, Pollard, Chase, Holder, Shepherd, Smith, Joseph, Hosein

    Simi Smith and Ben White both tested positive for Covid this morning and miss out.

    Ireland won the toss and will have a bowl.

    Great catch by Delaney to cap off a solid opening by the bowlers. WI 18/1 after 6 overs

    Excellent start this. Just need to keep chipping away.

    Need to keep taking wickets tho. All too often we get in a good position only to allow the opposition back in

    I think I've seen this match before. Just can't take advantage of good positions!

    Brooks and Pollard putting on a partnership now. 120-4 after 30.

    This'll finish at 280-300. All too easy now, the last 10 could be carnage

    Carnage started already. Pollard with 3 sixes in a row against McBrine.

    Brutal captaincy. Why would he take McBrine off when he did, he set him up for this. Different match safe result, game after game after game. They'll crumble now to 160 all out.

    This is also some brain dead bowling, bowling length when the Windies are in slog mode.

    WI probably looking towards a total of around 280 from here.. maybe better considering who is at the crease and how well set they are… we looked at one point that we could restrict them to about 250 but this partnership is going too well… don’t look like taking a wicket.

    62/4 to 230/5 killed us… not enough wicket takers.

    Looked like Delaney ran too far at the ball instead of stopping and taking it lower..

    we get lucky with the lbw, just clipping umpires call… hopefully that might cost the West Indies some impetus and save us 10 or so runs.

    Brooks gone lbw. Looked a bit high on first view, but just clipping. Need to run through the tail now.

    Yeah from replay I didn’t give that lbw any chance, strange the graphic had it clipping being such a short pitched delivery but we’ll take it…

    only a single of the 46th, we’ll take it.

    young takes care of Shepherd, nice, needed.

    Shephard now gone for 2 after a huge hoick into the air. Ireland having a good last 20 minutes or so.

    Holder edges next ball straight to the fielder and Young is on a hat-trick!

    50 ODI wickets for Craig Young.

    Next ball is let go by Smith. 246/8 off 47 overs now.

    Ireland take the 9th wicket. Need to wrap it up quickly as they are well behind in the over rate.

    tucker should have taken that having got there.


    re: the over rate, there have been all through the innings a lot of conversations between both batsmen and between the fielding side… umpires didn’t seem too pushed about telling the batsmen to get on with it.

    costly over, 12 of the first 4. But as I type 5bth all takes the 10th wicket..

    270 the required total. 5.38 the required run rate.

    West Indies all out for 269.

    That partnership of 155 was a real killer for Ireland.

    Disappointing considering they had them 63/4, they pulled it back a little but they really need to sort out overs 20-45, they're too easy to bat against in this spell.

    Josh Little is head and shoulders above the rest. Adair can be good but bowls too many boundary balls, releasing pressure. The rest are very very hittable in international cricket.

    Bug task to chase this without Stirling. Think Balbirnie will need to get a big hundred.
