Having it handy in the match thread is more than useful. Please consider putting in atleast the squads, time, link to BC tour page. Atleast that will ensure our BC standard lives, not too much to ask, is it?

[Sohel]

Once upon a time, match threads used to be created after a game had started. Check the archives if the your memory needs refreshing

[Ehsan]

Those days are gone. We are in a new era now. New standards have been set, we can not afford to go back to olden days (eg. what would you do without computers?). Only newer standards can topple the current set standards, thats the way it is.

[irteja]

good luck tigers

As a "newbie" and insane match thread poster -

The best part of a match thread is what happens after the match starts IMHO. So I have no issues with these no-frillers. Then again, I'm a wiki-pasting, psuedo-intellectual bhua just faking it all ...

[Sovik]

49.4 Mashrafe Mortaza to Langford-Smith, 2 runs, sweeps in the air to midwicket region, Tamim Iqbal fails to hold on to a fairly easy chance

needs more work on fielding.

We don't know yet. And with the current selection panel, it's impossible to have an educated guess.

Spitty,
well you are not new here..you are pro..you made lots of match threats before..i dont know about others but I love to see the players name, local time, counter , weather in Mirpur in the match day in the Match Thread. i dont know how to put all this thats why i never open a match threat. if you can plz do it that way...if you cants then let Kalpurush bhi or someone else do it for us..dont play such childish game. if you are so desperate to open a match thread plz dont think only about u think about us as well...

[GuruTM]

Spitty, if you ever want to do a job, do it well. Otherwise, don't bother. Nobody's begging you to open the match thread if you are reluctant to do it well.

There is no such thing as superstition. Superstition does not exist. Its the limitation of human analytical power that exists where you cannot find the reasoning of things. However, i wish you well. Hope my SUPERSTITION betrays me.

Go the tigers. Lets kick some serious Irish amatuer arse. Lets bring it on.

[Eshen]

Good job Spitty

[mali007]

Management will keep the winning squad. Good luck tigers.

At least now I know that few people truly care about the details. I'll definitely make my next match thread richer, if only for your sake

Preview from Crciketeurope
Trent Johnston is backing Lisburn leg spinner Greg Thompson to be a hit in this week’s three-match one-day international series against Bangladesh.
The Ireland captain, who claimed at the weekend that the current crop of players is stronger in depth than the 15 who represented their country at last year’s World Cup finals, said that Thompson’s performances in the UAE over the last two weeks prove he can play a big role in the heat of battle against Bangladesh. The series starts early tomorrow GMT.
“I think Thommo could do something special in these ODIs against Bangladesh because they’ll not be expecting a leg spinner.
“They all know what Kyle (McCallan) and Andre (Botha) can do (having seen them at the World Cup) but there is nothing more exciting in cricket than a leg spinner if he gets it right. And this isn’t a 19 year old we’ll be throwing to the wolves (or, indeed, this week, the Tigers).
“This is a player who has played in three Under 19 World Cups, he’s been around. He’s not overawed by the big stage and he can bowl that unplayable ball, maybe only once every two overs at this stage of his career, but he can bowl it,” enthused Johnston.
“He can also bat and is a good fielder. Greg got a game against Essex (in Ireland’s final one-day warm-up game) because of his performance against an Abu Dhabi Select, when he took three wickets.. He and Gary Kidd are probably neck and neck in bowling but Thommo has the edge in the field. It’s always about bringing that second and third discipline to the team.”
Paul Stirling, the other member of Ireland’s Under 19 World Cup team who has joined up with the senior squad, will almost certainly miss out on his first cap tomorrow but Johnston has no doubt he has a bright future, and he may not have long to wait.
“Stirlo has huge potential. I’d love to see him play one of the games this week but it’s going to be hard for him to fit in.
“The vice-captain (William Porterfield) is an opening batsman, and there’s a guy who has just scored 73 against Essex (Reinhard Strydom).You need Eoin Morgan to bat three and Niall (O‘Brien) four but they are all left handers and I feel they play their (three) left arm spinners better, so that’s what we have to think about. Should we hold one of them back and squeeze a right hander in at No 3,” said the captain who admits difficult decisions will have to be made when selecting the team tonight.
It will be eased if Dave Langford-Smith’s ankle injury fails to improve. He bowled only five overs (for 36) against Essex on Friday although Johnston was more concerned at him having to come off the field rather than his expensive analysis.
“David is more worried where’s he putting his front foot than where he’s putting the ball. But he can’t be bowling five overs in an ODI and then coming off. Still by Tuesday he will have had almost four days of rest - he hasn’t practised - and we’ll decide in the morning.”
If he doesn’t make it then Kevin O’Brien will share the new ball with Strabane’s Phil Eaglestone, who will be winning his first cap. If ‘Lanky’ does play then, to allow Thompson in as the second spinner, Strydom would have to be sacrificed at the top of the order with everyone moving up one in the batting line-up.
Hardly a huge burden as it will give Morgan, their best batsman - who left the UAE with an average of exactly 300 - the chance to bat all 50 overs. There is no better player at the moment who would relish the challenge.
These is no reason why this confident Ireland team cannot rise to it as well.
