[Executioner]

Nasir Hossain is a brilliant find for BD. The lad apart for a few times has been quite exceptional. Ive got a feeling that he is going to be the future bevan of BD

Rahman hit only one six today ....

 

[LegCutter]

Good recovery from Bangladesh, Hussain saved their butts

 

[Executioner]

Nasir hossain averages 111 in T20s after 4 matches, 9 times the average of other batsman in BD

 

[LegCutter]

A nice cameo from Ziaur Rehman today as well, he's turning into quite the t20 pinch-hitter for BD. The guy who you can bring at the end and expect him to hit a few quick sixes.

 

[Executioner]

Rahman hit only one six today ....

read my post, i said Nasir can be future bevan.

nevertheless, zia has boosted RR in both matches so nothing to complain and he is no dhoni or ABDV

I just quoted you to get your reply on my post...

 

[LegCutter]

Zia ur Rehman isnt supposed to be a Dhoni or ABDV. He's like Albie Morkel/Abdur Razzaq at the end of the order; he's going to be the X-Factor of the BD team. Nobody will expect him to score in every match, but once in a blue moon, he's going to play an innings that's going to destroy the opposition.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Free hit wasted.

 

[mastermind_quad]

by Porterfield

 

[mastermind_quad]

and another to end the over ...9 from 1st over

 

[mastermind_quad]

Spin from 2 over

 

[mastermind_quad]

13 runs fro 1.4 overs...and I am going to bed...

 

[Executioner]

Irish yet again struggling in the Spin web of Bangladesh. Playing county wont help them become good against spinners, not to mention that in England there is only 1 world class spinner named swann and the rest not even good enough.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Is this being televised?

 

[Executioner]

Elias sunny 2-0-10-1, doing very well for his team

 

[cricketworm]

They must play Nassir Hossain up the order at number 4. Never understood ... why do they still play him down the order.

 

[truthseer]

37 off 27
KOB out
25 off19

 

[truthseer]

[anakwalajinn]

8 from 3 required

 

[anakwalajinn]

[anakwalajinn]

8 from 1 required

23 from 18 required at one stage for Ireland

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Congrats BD , well played

 

[anakwalajinn]

Bangladesh win by 1 run

 

[shahidafridi123]

wow 1 run....

 

[Dan08]

Selfish innings from Joyce costs Ireland. They should have promoted Mooney or Johnston ahead of Poynter.

 

[Executioner]

LOL man I cant believe we win )

now how did Irish mess that up? at one moment I thought they were supposed to win And this kevin o brian is ordinary, paul stirling and gary wilson are better, not to mention porterfield

 

[LegCutter]

Wow Ireland would be so disappointed!

But a slap in the face to everyone who said Ireland are not in BD's league, they have shown that they are up there with BD and zimbabwe

BD are definitely better than Irish but not superior ofcourse. But irish have a lot to learn, and their weakness against spin will cost them heavily.

But this match was something Ireland shudnt have won, BD gave them so many opps. yet they lost but nevertheless a great game of cricket. Too bad it wasnt televised

 

[Dan08]

Very close game. Really poor innings from Joyce and a bad decision to have Poynter in ahead of Mooney, Cusack, Johnston. Joyce needed to hit out or get out but did neither. Terrible T20 player. They could and should have won.

 

[Maximas]

What! Bang win by 1 run!

So any cheating/bad umpiring complain by Irish yet?

 

[Liverpoolred]

Wow Ireland would be so disappointed!

+1.Needed to be said

 

[Zamee]

Good to see Bangla improving.

 

[Equinox]

They lost a game that was a must-win for them at home... and that proves they are in the same league as BD? Whatever.

Do you honestly believe losing by 1 run means they are on a lower level to their opponent?

 

[[_O_]]

Its not what they lost by but how they lost that shows they arnt as good as you keep trying to prove they are. At 1 stage they needed 23 off 18 so a team to lose from that stage I think shows how poor they are rather than just looking at the score and. going they lost by 1 run. You got to look at overall picture.

I'm no way saying BD are way better or anything because they r not but for them to be in totally foreign conditions with a newly structured team to win from 23 needed of 18 showed they do have the skill.

 

[Liverpoolred]

I feel Ireland made a massive improvement from the first game, but as you are biased you will keep repeating ''23 from 18, piece of cake''.

Thats the overall picture, but sadly bias clouds your judgement.

 

[[_O_]]

Playing at home with 5 wickets in hand and 23 off 18 to get against a team that have not even played enough t20i to even reach double figures, who only have 2 players with a bit of european wicket experience. Still ur trying to paint it as if it was hard to ask of Ireland to win this and that they did amzingly just to lose by 1 run??!.....i think your bias against BD is clear

Irish did make some improvement, not to mention some ordinary cricket from Christoper Tamim Gayle scorring a whopping 0 runs from 9 balls, and our pacers throwing in some pies.

But from a team's point of view unable to score 23 from 18, against spinners shows that the team has some srs flaws against spinners. They need to improve it otherwise even Aussie bowlers like doherty and clarke himself will make a mockery of their batsman.

Zimbabwe are def. better than Ireland atm because they have a lot of strokemakers and few decent spinners in the team. But lets stop this arguement because Irish are still new to world cricket

It's pointless debating with you, as you do not give importance to BDs experience advantage in cricket as a sport and you feel that beating an ex-associate side is a big deal, as long as your team was playing away from home.

Tamims new name))

I agree with you completely, that was my whole point, Ireland are still quite new, so BD beating them isn't that huge a deal,but that is not the case as per some BD ppers

Ireland is a good team but they still a associate that is why I am not whoopin at our wins against them....that is not to say I cannot be impressed with how BD have handled foriegn conditions and how they have adapted to this new style of cricket even though they havnt played t20i since 2009 and only have 8 to their name. I think most BD fans are happy about how we are not losing rather than wow we won againat ireland, as we were the underdogs because as you rightly keep pointing out Ireland are a good team so no one can exoect walk in park especially at home, even eng narrowly won against them few years ago in ireland. Plus they are more expeirwnce than us at t20 coz thats pretty much all they play. Ireland are good at t20 at home but is that something wow as you try make it out to be?

Im done with this topic. Hopefully irish continue their good form from last game and provide another close game today .
