Can anyone use their powers of foresight to predict what the lineups will be? I am especially interested to know who will open the bowling for each team and who will be the first, second and third change bowlers.

That was the England side, right?

No point risking Trott. Also gives us chance to play Taylor. Bres will play as well imo, probably in place of Patel tho

I'd hope that Taylor is given a chance, Trott should be allowed to play late season games for Warwickshire to help their title challenge but his international summer should be over. Not essential he plays and no need to rush him back as he may struggle for form after injury.
This one day series against India and the T20's v them and WI are ideal times to test out a few young players for the future so Stokes, Woakes and Bairstow should be involved at some stage too. If nothing else it gives them a taste of international cricket and they can see the level they need to get to long term to become part of the set up.

I figured we may as well have a match thread rather than this getting lost with all the England India stuff.
Could be a good match, I hope they get good weather for it.

Last time in Ireland
Bopara, Denly, Trott, Prior, Collingwood, Shah, Wright, Rashid, Swann, Bresnan, Sidebottom.
Broad, Anderson and Morgan went but were rested. Our three fast bowlers need a rest so shouldn't go. Bresnan played because he wasn't in the Test team at the time.

Ah man, gonna be on the other side of the world for this match too. I've missed every single Ireland match this year. Hope we put up a better bowling performance than what we did in this match.

Difficult trying to work out what the lineup will be, not just personnel but the actual batting order.
Kieswetter
Trott
Essex Chump
Taylor
Morgan
Stokes
Fatel
Woakes
Borthwick
Onions
Dernbach
Leaving Bairstow and Finn out. But it could be anything. It's a rather long tail if Onions/Dernbach/Finn all play, so I figure one of those will get left out and they'd surely want to have a look at Onions again. Not sure which way round Essex Chump and Trott. The 13 is light on top order options and heavy on middle order options.

Nice to see a few of the youngsters getting a crack (or craic, given the venue).
Would've liked to see Hales get a go too tho. We seem to lack a natural opener and the big fella fills that hole.
Not sure about risking Trott with his shoulder either, but if he's fit I suppose he's had a rest.

Yeah, my reaction to seeing the squad was along similar lines.
