Ireland have secured notable scalps on plenty of occasions before, but this one feels altogether different.
Certain caveats probably should momentarily be applied. Playing a rebuilding West Indies on a slow deck is the best time for a side like Ireland to get them. As their captain Kieron Pollard admitted after the game, Caribbean cricket does not look to be in good shape at the moment: The fightback was led by Andy McBrine - named player of the series - and Craig Young who returned figures of 4-28 and 3-43 respectively. McBrine snared the crucial wickets of Nicholas Pooran, Shamarh Brooks and Kieron Pollard, the latter caught well at leg slip by William Porterfield. It was the second consecutive game McBrine dismissed the West Indies captain.
That they were as McBrine combined well with Stirling. The latter perished on 44 - but not after carving Akeal Hosein through extra cover for what was arguably the shot of the day. McBrine then partnered with, with both men notching half-centuries. Tector’s was his third on the bounce, a remarkable effort that would have made it easy to give him the player of the series award were it not for McBrine’s efforts with both bat and ball.
