My fellow BC buddies, please don't get me wrong. I am one of the BD fans just like you. Unfortunately we are going through a rough surface at the moment. Reason for putting such pictures and comments are to 'Tone down' expectations . Simply Enjoy Cricket .

This will be a very interesting match and will be an evidence of our success/ failure in this WC.

[Moh899]

this match will be an indication on how far we;ll be going in the world cup. remember, ireland is better than afghanistan. one of the most important matches for us even tho this is a warm up. we also gave them a whooping of 3 nil at their home ground. lets see what we do there. lets all be realistic and lets all pray and hope for this not so good team.

This is just another practice match. It will NOT reflect our true performance in the officialT20 WC matches, so go out, take a breath and celebrate life

Lets be positive, we will win this.

Irish chicken for dinner baibeh!

[naim519]

You guys underestimate Ireland. I think they are slightly, just slightly below Afghanistan in terms of causing upsets. So the way we play against Ireland should give us insight as how we play against Afghanistan.

[godzilla]

hope we win this one. we need as much wins as possible before stepping into the real tournament.

ব্যাটিংয়ের পরীক্ষা-নিরীক্ষা হতে পারে টপ-মিডল অর্ডার দুই জায়গাতেই। আমিরাতের বিপক্ষে মুমিনুল হককে ছয় নম্বরে ব্যাটিং করানো হলেও আজ হয়তো তাঁকে তিন নম্বরে খেলানোর বিবেচনা থাকবে। মুমিনুলের খেলার যে ধরন, স্ট্রোক খেলার যে সামর্থ্য তাতে তিন নম্বরে নামিয়ে তাঁর কাছ থেকে লম্বা ইনিংস আশা করতে পারে দল। সে ক্ষেত্রে পাঁচ বা ছয়ে দেখা যেতে পারে সাব্বির আহমেদকে।

This is most important match than against afganistan ..... Irish is not only a strong team... They r the other group favorite.... So if we can hunt them We will automaticlly hunt afganistan. Bd players will be boost enough to take afg down... So i say, play sensible, play with your merits . Ireland as a t20 team.. .far better than zimbabwe or afg or netherland..... So let's rock them first & than afg.

[WorldCup11]

It seems finally team management figured out Nasir is out of form. So they will be playing Mominul at number 3 and Sabbir at number 6.

This will be todays batting lineup if I read newspapers correctly

1.Tamim
2. Anamul
3. Mominul
4. Shakib
5. Mushi
6. Sabbir
7. Mullah
8. Farhad

Why persistence if Mominul over shamsur? If Mominul fails this one drop him and make shamsur oopen and play bijoy one down where he has looked good.
