Bangladesh vs Ireland

[countrygull]

Match of the world cup so far: can the plucky Irish make it against the wily Bangladeshi spinners. Great cricket

You really have to be loving your cricket to watch this match.

I'm wondering whether this is the first time Ireland have played Bangladesh head-to-head at any sport, ever.

A good point, well made. As it happens I am stuck in a small room working with a Sky TV in the corner - and it is a gripper of a match: Ireland now 98-4 chasing 205, and not reading the spinners at all. Could go to the wire. But yes, I could be termed a sad b*****d

Come on the team in green!

Ireland 168-7. Still gripping (me, if not the rest of you lot)

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

171-9 now - overs not the issue, just falling short.

Oooh, just short, panic in the tail and the Irish are all out
