Jeremy Bray on 7 against Bangladesh. More than 1 run!! Its a miracle!! Ireland on 23/0 after 5 overs. Nice start.

**pete** · 15/04/2007, 2:41 PM

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.

**pete** · 15/04/2007, 3:12 PM

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?

**pete** · 15/04/2007, 4:37 PM

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.

**pineapple stu** · 15/04/2007, 4:47 PM

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.

**pineapple stu** · 15/04/2007, 5:10 PM

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.

Complain about this post

Guys like this must trawl the Internet looking for things to be a dick about.

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.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 15/04/2007, 5:58 PM

Bangladesh batsmen make a slow start but Irish bowlers gift them 6 extras in the first two overs. 7/0 after 2.0.

**pete** · 15/04/2007, 6:29 PM

Rankin with 1 wicket but is gifting extras in exchange. 3 wides in last over with 2 boundaries

Ireland seem to be keen to take wickets at the expense of runs.

41-1 9 overs.

**Schumi** · 15/04/2007, 6:52 PM

48/3 now.

**geysir** · 15/04/2007, 7:13 PM

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.

**geysir** · 15/04/2007, 7:42 PM

Another 2 wickets gone. 104/5. Are we cruising now? Can I relax the stumoch muscles a bit?

**DmanDmythDledge** · 15/04/2007, 7:45 PM

Shouldn't be anything to worry about seeing as there's only the tail-enders left to come.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 15/04/2007, 8:16 PM

134/7 now.

**pineapple stu** · 15/04/2007, 8:47 PM

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.
