Bit of an odd series with England's World Cup players not involved (except Root in the first one) and Crawley captaining.
Anyway the toss in the first one is delayed by the weather.
England v Ireland ODIs

Another comfortable win for England.

Given that it was very much a B squad with very little ODI experience, it was a pretty good outing with some very good performances. Given the schedules these guys play nowadays, it's very likely that we will see these kinds of squads more regularly. India have been doing it for a while and I think other international sides will follow suit.
That's the rise of franchise cricket, it probably means guys who are not in the top 30 or 40 cricketers in their country will play international cricket.
