6) Junaid Siddique
7) Mahmudullah Riad
8) Ziaur Rahman

11) Elias Sunny/Abdur Razzak

I don't know why it is neccessary to play Three SLA: Shakib, Sunny and Razzak?

Mahmudullah has done enough to prove that he is a good Bowler in T20 or ODI!

Our Bowling Attack Should Be: Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Shafiul Islam, Shakib Al Hasan, Elias Sunny and Mahmudllah Riad!

Nasir
Zia

Razzak
Sunny
Nazmul

[M.H.Rubel]

Some good news for us.Wicket will not be very fast.From cricinfo:
Pitch and conditions
All the wet weather of recent weeks
(and months) means it is unlikely that
the pitches will have any great pace.
Bangladesh won't mind if Boyd
Rankin is not pinging the ball at their
chests. The forecast for Wednesday is
promising but further ahead there is
less certainty.
www.espncricinfo.com/ireland-nl-v-bangladesh-2012/content/story/572806.html

[Saifulsohel]

Shafiul is being preferred over Nazmul and thats absolutely rubbish

mushfiq,biased captain should be sacked.

[Kohli_Sox]

Lol CI thinks Boyd Rankin (who?) getting the ball at chest is a worry for BD? Way to go. Infact Ireland should be happy Mash and co not pinging the ball at chest high

[Equinox]

The forecast for Wednesday is promising but further ahead there is less certainty.
Are they making up their own forecast? Both BBC and Accuweather showing rain for Wednesday but no rain for the 2nd and 3rd T20Is.

[Equinox]

Paul Stirling, Kevin O'Brien and George Dockell are the main Irish threats. If we can neutralise them we have a very good chance of winning the series.

[MSM B2C]

Great News: Weather looks good and improving for tommorrow, well according to BBC forecast.

[Rumz_01]

Facebook says Channel 9 is telecasting.. I'm not sure it's the most reliable source but lets hope so..

[playmaker]

So thats very good news :)

The threats are: Kevin, Stirling, porterfield. Theyre bowlers arent that great, but no room for complacency

[Kohli_Sox]

Ed Joyce very good player too; played for England if I'm not mistaken

[MohammedC]

Watching BBC news from Belfast. Umbrella's every where.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Boyd Rankin and Trent Johnson will make our batsmen pee their pants :(

And then Kevin will beat up on Shafiul and make him beg for mercy on his knees in the middle of the pitch.

Don't mean to burst the bubble but is it technically possible for a TV channel to suddenly decide to broadcast a game that is being held in Ireland? If their management does get the job done with securing rights, equipment, commentary and sponsors within this time then I really have to take my hats off to them

The many years of following cricket on cricinfo has already prepared me for today's scenario. Hope the rain stays away for four hours.

if they are like the current aussies then we have a great chance actually

[Rifat]

If we play ODI's anytime soon, based on current evaluation:

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Imrul Kayes
3. Mahmudullah Riyad
4. Shakib al Hasan
5. Mushfiqur Rahim
6. Nasir Hossain
7. Mohammad Ashraful
8. Mashrafee Mortaza
9. Nazmul Hossain
10. Abdur Razzak
11. Rubel Hossain/Elias Sunny/Shafiul Islam

If we play tests anytime soon, then about the same team + Lineup except swap Kayes with Nazimuddin. and swap Abdur Razzak with Elias Sunny, and swap Mortaza with Shafiul Islam/Batsmen: shahriar Nafees/Naeem Islam since it won't make any difference anyway going with three pacers since our pacers are mediocre in Test matches.

[deshimon]

Will the match be taken place? What about the weather?

[Wakidul]

I live in the Uk. So far today there's not been much rain.. most rain fell overnight. Hopefully the pitch has got reasonable drainage facility. Hopefull for the game to be on.

[Wakidul]

Thanks for the video. Lol at Mushy's stumping at 0:57, he's always very aware in these situations.

Mushy's batting has improved in leaps and bounds. Such an asset now for the bangladesh team. Inshallah he countinues. All the strokes he playsed in that innings were pure timing. Looked better then shak and tamim. Mahmuddulah looks pretty good aswell.

[hoodlum]

They should've preponed it. That's my point.

Once a match date is set, it's difficult to reschedule it. But they could have made an exception in this case because both the teams are desperate to get some good match practice before the T20 WC.

There isn't enough time left for the ground to become dry. I don't think they have a Mirpur like drainage system installed there.

But nevertheless, with such drainage you would need at least 5 hours of no rain for game to start

IRISH Media doing lot of trash talking
http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ARTICLES5/articles/000017/001775.shtml

"Few outside the sub-continent would argue that Ireland have not been a better team than Bangladesh over the past five years, having beaten today's opponents at the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies and again in the 2009 World T20 in England.

Success on the field has not been matched by political manoeuvres off it, however, and Bangladesh have been allowed to get away with a number of tricks designed to underline their 'superior' status - not least in sending an 'A' team to tour and play Ireland during 2008."

4:24 PM Good evening from Stormont for the first of three Twenty20 internationals between Ireland and Bangladesh. The good news is that there has not been nearly as much rain as was predicted yesterday but, as luck would have it, we have had two sharp, heavy showers in the last 20 minutes. The covers are still in the middle but, as I write, the umpires and match referee are walking to the middle to have a look at the conditions

[M.H.Rubel]

From cricinfo:
Good afternoon and welcome to
ESPNCricinfo's coverage of the 3
match RSA Twenty20 challenge
between Ireland and Bangladesh. My
name is Justin Smyth and im going to
be bringing you live coverage on this
evenings game here in Stormont,
Belfast.
Both todays teams are going to be
appearing at the ICC T20 world cup
which is going to start in Sri Lanka in
62 days time. Bangladesh where
drawn in group D and they will play
against New Zealand and Pakistan.
Ireland came through the qualifying
tournament held in Dubai in March,
beating Afghanistan by 5 wickets in
the final. Ireland will play in group B
and play against Australia and the
West Indies.
This isnt the first time that these
teams have played a 20/20 against
each other. In the group stages of the
2009 world cup Ireland beat
Bangladesh by 6 wickets Ireland are
ranked 9th on the icc rankings for T20
cricket. Bangladesh dont appear on
the table due to the small number of
T20 internationals that they have
played so far. Bangladesh are playing
three games here in Ireland and then
will move on to the Netherlands
where they will play games again
Scotland and the Netherlands.
Bangladesh have played two warm up
games on Monday. Beating an Ireland
XI by 7 wickets and an NCU Presidents
XI by 48 runs.
As always when games are played at
stormont the weather forcast is
always important, in this
#Irishsummer more then most! It
seems like its been raining every day
since the summer began. Today is no
different.

I imagine the outfield will still be quite wet making it harder for the ball to reach the boundary.

[nightwatchman]

Ireland won the toss and will bowl first.

bangladesh is winning the game when they dont have to chase unless the common brain f@8t

[Wakidul]

dhur, we will be batting first. in wet seaming condition, i know our top order will struggle. :(

That's if they even spend time in the middle. Doubt that will even happen.

[al Furqaan]

Ahh we will struggle with the movement on offer. Wont be displeased to see ash bat slow for a change

[hoodlum]

Bangladesh bat first. Good toss to lose.

[nadim 98]

Anything less than 170 would be unacceptable! not gonna be enough too.

[M.H.Rubel]

****.We are batting.Interesting thing Omi playing!!

[Equinox]

But if the sun is still out, batting first might not be too bad.

[WarWolf]

Anything less than 170 would be unacceptable! not gonna be enough too.
I am happy with any kind of score that brings us victory.

[Habib]

No Nazmul, again. Abul in.

[roman]

It's always tricky.to bat first specially after rain that too in a foreign condition. All the best boyz. Let's go and kick some Irish behind.

[MSM B2C]

How Many BD Batsmen will score a duck?: Ziaur & Nasir (2 for me)

Edit: Abul will be the Match Winner Today!

[Equinox]

So Abul playing ahead of Shafiul and Nazmul. I think this could be a costly decision.

[zinatf]

Nazmul baad :( haire stepson :(

[WarWolf]

But if the sun is still out, batting first might not be too bad.
Batting on a semi wet sticky wicket is always a tough job.

[M.H.Rubel]

Star cricket i think showing the game http://cricvid.com/

Star cricket may show.They showing stay tuned.Match is delayed.

[wktkeeper]

nope omi is not playing. shafiul, nazmul, junaid and omi out of the playing 11

[zinatf]

The exclusion of junaid can be also match-costing...he could have added some extra :four: and :six: could have replaced nasir...since he was not performing well in the practice matches....:S

[Night_wolf]

No Nazmul, again. Abul in.

what a abul move

[Equinox]

So this is Abul's official Bangladesh debut. He has an econ. rate close to 12 FFS :facepalm:

[winter1900]

160 Will be good enough to win.

[MSM B2C]

Abul Hasan Included due to his PACE In this Seaming Condition! Understandable.!

[kiwibd]

aaaah I think mushy has lost all the tosses in the zim tour and now again here :( ash needs to mirror his previous innings, in these conditions anything above 150 will be a very competitive total.

[Roni_uk]

damn .. lost the toss!!

[Night_wolf]

so game will start at 5.30 local time..still 17 min to go

[nadim 98]

Abul will prove you guys wrong insallah ;)

[RazabQ]

Mushy pulling a Ganguly? Making Porterfield wait

[roman]

Seriously Nazmul ki dekhte etoi kharap? Kothakar job abul eshe chance pai. Ar Nazmul? Bechara

[kalpurush]

what a abul move
Why?

Abul might be our wild card, never know!?

[Max100]

I don't like abul, he is always expensive. We lost under 19 because of him in crucial match

[Navo]

Impressive!

[Max100]

Abul is new shahadat.

[Ajfar]

So whats a good score you guys think? 140+?

[winter1900]

First 4 overs will be so crucial for us and we should not lose not more than one wicket. There will be few wild swing from both end.

[MSM B2C]

Our Batting Looks Weak today for some reason.!

[Night_wolf]

Why?

Abul might be our wild card, never know!?

i preferred nazmul in place of abul, wild card or not..nazmul deserves the chance

[cricbook]

I want tamim to stand up.....enough crappy batting from him recently in t20

[Tiger444]

Abul's a promising pacer but he shouldn't be making it over Nazmul. Wish Abul the best though.

[Habib]

Hey man Im suppose to be invisible. Aieta ki korlen ukil bhai

Yeah me too. Navo bhai has blown our cover :mad:

[Roni_uk]

160 Will be good enough to win.
