Jeremy Bray on 7 against Bangladesh. More than 1 run!! Its a miracle!! Ireland on 23/0 after 5 overs. Nice start.
55-0 15 overs.
Porterfield going well but Bray only on 11 runs off nearly6 overs.
Bangladesh have been poor in the field given up some soft singles.
80/0 after 22 overs now, good to see the two openers hanging around for a while. Fingers crossed, we should get a good total.
Now set record as highest opening wicket total in Ireland ODI.
I see India & Pakistani fans in the crowd. India fans
Are they just turning their flags sideways then?
184-4 44 overs. (4.2 an over)
Porterfield fell at 85. K O'Brien & Johnstone in.
Looks at about 220 total which may not be enough.
208/4 with four overs remaining. 16 off the last over. 250 is an outside chance as the innings comes to a close, and should certainly be the target the players are aiming for. Good total, either way.
243/7 off the 50. Scored off every one of the last 22 balls.
Last two wickets we've actually gotten one run for as well. How's this work? Both were run out, so I can only assume that the first run still counts even if they get run out on the second? Would have thought being run out negated all the runs for that ball. Shows what I know anyways.
Good target though. Might sneak a win here. Couple of early wickets and we're laughing.
Nice comment on there :rolleyes:Quote:

It's "Londonderry" not "Derry", why is the British Broadcasting Corporation using British taxpayers money to promote Irish republicanism on a cricket article?
Complain about this post
Good target by Ireland. Disappointing to see 4 run out especially Morgan & O'Brien but on the other hand Ireland stole runs by chasing.
Pity the O'Brien-Johnston partnership did not stay in longer as they were putting on the runs.
Bangladesh batsmen make a slow start but Irish bowlers gift them 6 extras in the first two overs. 7/0 after 2.0.
Rankin with 1 wicket but is gifting extras in exchange. 3 wides in last over with 2 boundaries :eek:
Ireland seem to be keen to take wickets at the expense of runs.
41-1 9 overs.
48/3 now. :)
The Bangladeshis are on target for victory so far, I hope we can get a few more wickets in the next 10 overs and twist the tension screws a bit tighter.
Another 2 wickets gone. 104/5. Are we cruising now? Can I relax the stumoch muscles a bit?
Shouldn't be anything to worry about seeing as there's only the tail-enders left to come.
134/7 now.
164/8. Bangladesh need 7.86 per over. All over bar the last twelve overs. Should end any doubts about the justification of our qualification for the last stage too.
169/9 now. While they're actually ahead of our score at the same stage, with only one wicket remaining, victory should be a formality.
Allover!
169 all out. Ireland win by 74 runs! :D
SPANKED 'EM! :D
Much more important than the 2 points - full ODI ranking now. Let's get the big boys over. Croke Park is surely bigger than some of those pitches in the Caribbean:confused: ;)
Great victory by some margin.
Best innings with the bat i've seen with Ireland. Bowling was solid but with the exception of Ashraful Bangladesh were very poor.
great result, anybody have a link to where I can see the table for the super 8's ?

Official ODI Teams
It seems there are only 10 official ODI teams so it seems like a huge achievement for Ireland to become no.11
They were sucking pints after Ashraful was put out, a great achievement.
It's a wierd set up though with some players wanting to declare for England.
With official ODI status maybe players won't be so quick to declare for England. The only difference would be if played Test cricket with England.Quote:

Test cricket is still the big one though so I doubt it'd have that much impact.
Great performance !
We batted brilliantly and bowl hard when needed to, we were in control at the end and got the deserved victory.
I think if we can win some of games that are lined up during the year, the ICC might consider Test status.
Great result. The highlights are on BBC in just over 5 minutes.
C'mon everybody do the FUNKY CHICKEN !!!!!!!
Don't forget the Ferret ;)
Ireland are now the 12th ODI team. The others are the 10 test-nations and Kenya. Great result. I reckon it could have a similar (but much smaller) effect on Irish cricket to the what happened to footie after Euro '88 and Italia '90.Quote:

Becoming the 12th ODI team is a huge plus, especially as we're beside England so will get plenty of games from tourists (which we already did but without the status so now they mean more to the tourists). Does it mean we automatically qualify for the World Cup in future?
Ireland wanted that game more than Bangladesh. Very professional performance.
