WC2007: Super 8

[BigCrickNan]

Err..I'm supporting Ireland, because they rock.

McCallan has really impressed me throughout this tournament, solid performer for Ireland. Can't see Bangladesh getting out of this one, even with Bashar at the crease.

Guys, Can you at least try to post a bit more than just a running commentary of action as it happens, this is supposed to be a thread about the games, not a description of the action. Use chat if you want a text commentary.

Yep, he reminds me of Ashley Giles when he was at the top of his game (don't laugh) during 2004 where he was deadly accurate and got some turn. And he isn't one of those club cricket standard spinners from Holland and Bermuda.

I dont understand how Bangladesh gave up today's match after some great win in this World Cup

I think Simon Mann on BBC radio just summed it up beautifully. "When they're good they're very good, when they're bad they're very bad."

Not often you see Bangladesh in a tight match, it has to be said.

Well at least this World Cup Bangladesh are now making it as a major nation, rather than being there to make up the numbers. They've had two very clinical wins against major nations (which they are becoming) and I wouldn't bet against them beating the West Indies. Bangla have almost arrived.

Rafiquie is good hitter but in this tournament , he have done nothing with the bat , and today again he was disapointing

Bashar in all respect is an aweful captain!

Bashar in all respect is an aweful captain!

To be honest I think Bashar is a waste of time, he doesn't seem to have a cricketing brain, he has a negative effect on other players (has poor body language and is a crap runner for example) and his batting isn't good enough for ODI's, although his average of 34 in tests shows he is suited to that arena.

Johnston did

gudness Ireland won and they deserve it. Mind it its no fluke

 

[Jaztheman]

Ireland deserved it fully in my eyes, poor display by bangladesh

I was just thinking that after their loss to Australia.
