Expect 300 from BD.

We always underestimate the opposition but I do hope we don't this time. It's Ireland and they beat us in the World Cup 2007. They'll be rambling on about "Oh yes, we'll be targetting Bangladesh because we beat them last time" and I don't blame them because we say the samething. Never underestimate your opponent. Even if Bangladesh play to their potential, it will still be a very hard match. I hope Bangladesh win

[tonoy]

We better win this...

[Rabz]

Rafi_mc, watch your mouth.

Good luck Bangladesh.
Well, we have to win this game, no other options.

[Ajfar]

only change i wanna see is bring in mithun either for rakib/mushy..and nayeem should come either before riyad or right after him.. as for rajib rasel has not been in great form..so i'm not sure if it would make a difference brining in rasel for rajib

[Russell2k7]

ignore rafi he is a kid.

One thing we must remember If we beat Ireland, India also must beat Ireland. Otherwise we can lost the opportunity to go to the 2nd round though we beat Ireland. So India-Ireland match is also same important for us.

It is true that it is very tough for Ireland to beat India but It is not impossible. After all the game is Cricket & the format is T-20. Anything can be possible.

Very well-thought. We need to beat Ireland comprehensively.

Exactly....we need to beat them by a minimum of 50 runs or equivalent if chasing (2.5 run rate)

Very good point made mate. but we cant contorl what's going on in the Ind-ire game. We can hope and get a win from the ireland game, and let india take care of the rest :
