WC2007: Super 8

Good performance from Ireland they clicked while Bangladesh had another one of those off days. Must say Nafees has had one quiet tournament.
 
Wow Ireland won! Well done! They've been great finds. Bangladesh...well...sounds like a pretty poor performance. Aside from 4 run outs!!! what the heck?
 
Bashar is slower between the wickets than Inzy in hibernation! Watch the ball Habibul.

Well done Ireland though, they were brilliant in all 3 aspects, fully deserved win.

Mind, that Bangladesh beat more top 8 nations too than England at the moment but england still have a chance to qualify for the semis!

No, a lot of people were rooting for Ireland!
 
Bangladesh dropped catch after catch; Ireland shouldn't have made 200. Still, the game was well within reach until Tamim Iqbal and Mohammad Ashraful squandered good starts with very silly shots.

Well at least this World Cup Bangladesh are now making it as a major nation, rather than being there to make up the numbers. They've had two very clinical wins against major nations (which they are becoming) and I wouldn't bet against them beating the West Indies. Bangla have almost arrived.

Bangladesh isn't part of the top 8/9 yet but they ,even after this loss, isn't part of the minnows. Hope this will shut the hell up with those critics saying Ireland wont win a game and all that! Both Bangladesh and Ireland deserve to be there and they have proven more than enough that they deserve it! These are making the wc (which is overshadowed by things happening out of the field) better. Bangladesh should be proud too(not for today but for this wc overall). Ireland did themselves proud and the ICC's development program proud and their country proud! They were competitive through out the wc and deserve way from credit than the are getting.

Critics like you will never give credit huh but always criticize the other team to take away things from the underdogs. Even with the catches held ireland could have got 200 and Ashraful was out on a good shot but just wasn't the right place. What's you're point? Why don't you ever give ireland and bangladesh credit when they deserve it? you just have to criticize and pick on things without ever giving them the due credits.

I didn't know what I wanted from today's games because if Ireland won then critics like you are going to bitch about it's just bangladesh they beat and how sucky Bangladesh is and how their wins were just fluke and how they are minnows too so no credit to Ireland etc. if Bangladesh won you guys would be like oh, I predicted Ireland wouldn't win a game, Pakistan would be much better. Ireland don't deserve to be there, they didn't make any impact bla bla bla...its a lose lose situation. So best would be a tie but still then the critics are going to say some.

Both teams deserve credit and give it to them instead of criticizing them all the time. Bangladesh are no longer a minnow(even after this game otherwise pakistan,india and south africa are too) and they showed that this world cup. Ireland proved way way way more than anyone expected. This is their 1st world cup and they have won and tied against 3 test nations! They are now part of the main odi table! They have proved more than Kenya had last wc when they made it to the semis. But take nothing away from Kenya either because they are a good team too and won the World Cricket League! So just give credits to the teams when they are due instead of trying to criticize them all the time.

lol you funny...Irleand Ireland Ireland Ireland....is Ireland visiable on the map? Or i have to use microscope to see how big it is. Boy, Ind-pak are classic teams and just gifted those matches to minnow teams like Ireland and 4ft tall bangli school boy cricketers. Dont compare those massive teams with amatures. Thank is you!, Inzi rocks!

Thanks, I know I'm funny but wasn't being funny there. And yeah, tells me a lot that you know little about what you're talking about. If you don't know if Ireland is visible on the map or not than that tells me you're not very smart. If India and Pakistan are classy teams then why could they win two games at the world cup? Gifted? No, India got dominated by Bangladesh and Pakistan too against Ireland. 4ft Bangladeshis? Well I don't think Sachin is very tall either. Bangladesh isn't armatures and even though Ireland is(some of them are not) it's just sad that those "massive" teams couldn't pull of a win against the so called "minnows". !st learn and know what you're talking about then say somethings.

And good luck to Afghanistan though, hope they make the 2011 wc. Is cricket doing any good there? I would like to know because cricket would benefit from having nations like Afghanistan play. Wouldn't you like it if you guys beat those massive teams? Or would you still say they let you win?
 
Their batsman have potential, they playedsome wonderful shots. And then you see them get caught playing stupid shots like reverse sweeps and ramp shots, slogs. They need to mature and get experianced for that I guess.

Bangla is still minnows they are all underdogs and I think they need some tight louda to play Cricket.

If the critics like ponting is saying they are not "minnows" anymore who are you saying they are. There's a difference between underdogs and minnows. Sri Lanka are underdogs in tomorrows games doesn't mean they are "minnows". Ireland is still a "minnow" but is showing great signs of a better cricketing future for them and so are teams like kenya and netherlands.

true
 
It'll be a cracker of a game. Can't wait. Too bad Malinga isnt playing. Would've loved to see how Ponting and Co. handled him.

Dress rehersal for the final maybe.
