Bangladesh Bat
Ireland Bat
Watch cricket highlights – Ireland vs Bangladesh from the 2009 T20 World Cup.
Scoreline: Bangladesh 137/8: Mashrafe Mortaza 33 (16), Tamim Iqbal 22 (28) – Trent Johnston 4-20-3
Ireland win in 18.2 overs: Niall O’Brien 40 (25), Kevin O’Brien 39 (17)
The O’Brien brothers show today after Trent Johnston had made sure it was going to be a lowish total to chase. Only a couple of Mortaza whacks at the end gave the total some sort of chance. The O’Briens split the Irish innings – Niall with a cracked foot took charge of the top end, and just when Bangladesh were slipping back into the game, Kevin who says his favourite cricketer is Flintoff (it’s quite easy to see why) came in and stole the game right back.
Pregame: Didn’t catch the warm up games of Ireland, but just saw this really tall guy now called Boyd Rankin who’s apparently their opening bowler. That’ll be fun. For Bangladesh, as always, hope Ashraful entertains.
First Porkis losing, now bongalabongs losing……O God, let this happiness never stop
bangs were too much confident that dey will beat them,dis should teach dem how much it hurts!!!!!(like we after 2007wc)
This should atleast stop Wasim Akram’s sputtering mouth in the commentators box
Bangladesh was over-pumped n over-hyped that they will sure go to next stage, I think Ireland did a good deed kickin thm out of the tourney..
Cheers Ireland..
Ooh man Akram is the worst commentator of all.. He is like a Satan of the world.. Why do they even let him speak..?
Deepak,
One quote from akram
Akram: whatever england score, pakistan will go after it
Duh! you dumb idiot. Thats how you win. you have to score more runs to win.
I think Akram wants to kill us all because he knows tht Pak wouldnt even make it to next round.. haha
What is up with Sri Lanka man… I think they have the worst uniform in this tourney.. How can they even wear it..????????
i love bangladeshis, they’re good lookin!
NO highlights … it says video no found …
Please look into it
Bangladesh are over confident. I think they learnt a lesson today.
I am very happy for Ireland. They wont be qualified for Semi finals, but can be proud of what they have done.
bangladesh. same old same old. cant believe how pissed the coach was after the game, agreed with everything he said though.
I feel ashamed as a Bangladeshi. And Congrats Ireland. Congrats to the megalomaniac Bangladeshi players too for letting us down
and they dont need a cricket coach…. they need someone to teach them how to feel for their country, how to be committed to the people to whom they owe a lot for their arrogance and lavish life…
Admin… pls keep the videos on youtube, they stream much faster that way.
ireland seems they will clear the super 8 as well….gud work ireland…a big cheers lads……
Time for a pitcher of Guinness…the Irish “LADS” have outperformed the over-hyped Bangla “TIGERS” ! It was probably too much tout in the beginning of this tour that gave the “TIGER” team a false impression that they could make it to the next round no matter how indisciplined they are on the field, same applied to the AUZZIEs too. Unfortunately, T20 is no childs play and the teams that maintains its integrity throughtout emerge as winners. Siddons anger and frustration were evident in the press conference and clearly upheld the fact that his team has a long way to go even before they start to dream BIG….neways, better luck next time chaps… !!!
P.S: Great job admins, u guys rock – cheeers
Pakistan now needs to be eliminated in order for life to be good!
Good job ireland .. but SORRRY India aint bangladesh. ..get ready for the STORM.
excellent job by ireland with same spirit try to face other builders
DAM SHIT SHOT PLAYED BY ASRAFUL ON WHICH HE GOT OUT…AS HE WAS REALLY IN ATTITUDE…HE DESERVES DAT…GOOD FOR IRELAND THOUGH..HURRAH!
I really appreciate your IMPORTANT NOTE TO USERS. I must say that some of the comments were very demeaning and I am glad that you are doing something about it. Thanks also for putting up all the highlights. Your site is the only way that I can keep in touch with Cricket. Great Job!!! Only wish that the highlights could be longer
Thanks anyways.
Ahahahaha! I can now rub this defeat in the faces of my B’deshi friends for at least a few weeks! They didn’t let India’s world cup exit go for almost a year, so now it’s payback time:-)Anyway, I don’t think B’desh have a lot of experience in this format so this shouldn’t be the end of the world for them. They have some talented players but I simply don’t think they can compete, as a team, with other test playing nations…
Important Note To Users: I hate having to police comments as everyone’s entitled to their opinions and personal prejudices. When it comes to what is racism, it’s hard to define – are the Indian fans who mock Bangladeshis as culpable as those who use Ponting as a face to go after the Aussies. It’s grey and hard to pin down. But in an attempt to keep it simple, will be deleting any comment that doesn’t talk about cricket or is site-related (as in related to the videos and site content). Even cricket-related comments that use a team’s loss to raise political issues or put down a community will be deleted. Do understand that most of the people visiting the site come here for a highlights video and nothing else
Hear, hear
It’s sad to see them out, Bangladesh is pretty decent team compared to ireland. If they have performed half of the play like they did against india,they have won this match..
Bad luck !!
