Ireland v Bangladesh
Unlike some who were bitterly disappointed that this match wasn't India v Pakistan, I was actually looking forward to it. They're not strong batting sides, but they've both been outstanding in the field, so it looked good.
I paid vague attention to Ireland's batting, as unless a team completely falls apart or posts an immense total, most of the really competition begins in the second half.
However, I was very pleased with Ireland. They looked a little shakey at first, but 243 is a great total and they broke their record for opening partnerships with .
Bangladesh's reply was less than stellar. There were some beautiful shots played, but they were all out for 169. A flash in the pan.
The most amusing thing about the whole match was the fact that the Irish team's celebration of the choice was the Funky Chicken. I kid you not. Was hilarious to watch.
OH MY LIFE! Sri Lanka are playing Australia today, the best team in the world. And they are resting Vaas, Murali and Malinga i.e. all their bowlers. Why?! Cynical Atherton thinks they might not be disappointed to lose this to Australia, so that they don't meet them in the semi-final. So, wha?
Not. Happy.
