Mr. Barry Chambers, our Irish friend from CRICKETIRELAND (http://www.cricketeurope.org/CRICKETIRELAND/home.shtml ) sent the following pictures from Limavady. I, on behalf of banglacricket, give him a big cyber-bear-hug. Thank you Mr. Chambers, we appretiate it. Hope to see Ireland in the top league pretty soon.

Wow, our man Rafiq with a bottle of champagne!!
Hope he don't drink too much before the big job to be done in champion trophy.
Thank's a lot Mr. B. Chambers.:D

Thanks Mr. Chambers. Drop by now and then and let us know about ireland's progress.

By the way I notice the players in sweaters already so I guess autumn is setting in there?

[200SX]

oh look @ rafiqs bright face wif the bottle of champagne; i guess he not gona share tht wif neone else....:P

[Basri]

Nice pictures. Thanks Mr. Chambers.
Congrat to Rafique.

[rassel]

nice picture but too much hair again on rafique head. I like that hair cut that he gat before Asia Cup.:lol:

[Rubu]

mushfique is in jacket. that means he was probably not wearing uniforms. i'm thinking about his injury. is he so much injured that playing is not an option at all? does anyone have facts about his injury?

[rafiq]

the right thing to do for rafique would be to just give that bottle to Dav? btw, the Irish should have checked on protocol before coming up with this award - but the sponsors were a resturant so it makes sense...

[chinaman]

Nah, not Dav, but Cordy, this guy would give him an easy go at the fitness :)

Now Rafique can't say he never touched ... :lol:

[AsifTheManRahman]

well...he can spray it all over the hotel or something...:)

[mahbubH]

Rafique will be in trouble because his shirts shows "Grameen phone" where as Standard Chartered is the BD sponsor for this trip. May be Standard Chartered is sponsor for only champions trophy and Grameen phone for Scotland and Ireland games.

Standard Chartered sponsored only for Champ Trophy. Grameen is BCB's permanent sponsor for all tours and serieses. BCB can get seperate sponsor during any Multi-Nation tournament, such as Asia Cup (BCB didn't find anyone else for this years asia cup), Champ Trophy, WC etc. Thats how they made the contract with Grameen. Pretty good for BCB, I would say.

Hi there

glad you liked the pictures. I have sent some more to chinaman, who will hopefully share them with you.

The weather in Ireland was very cold and windy, but got better at Limavady in the afternoon.

It should be okay for the Scottish games.

Irish fans, there's your one reason for losing the first game, that is, if there is any Irish fan remaining out there reading this post as the games are now finished.

About Mushfique's injury - I think he got injured like this before - during 2002, after he was selected to go with the Bangladesh 'A' team to Kenya, but was excluded from the team after having the injury. He had to wait until the Australia tour (may be) next year to get fit properly.

So this is nothing new for Mushfique just like Mashrafee.

I presume you are referring to better weather not suiting the Irish. Unfortunately Limavady was the second game. ;)

Newage (http://newagebd.com/spt.html) reported Mushfiq's injury is not serious and will be available for selection of the remaining games of the tour.

Then it was our bowlers (not batsman, as I thought earlier) who got the better of the conditions.

[bourny3]

Interesting to see trees and bushes behind most of the bowlers, until i saw the pavillion i thought this was a country cricket ground
