Ireland v Bangladesh 1st T20 on 18th July

Assuming you're in the UK, sadly, none of them

gonna be rained out anyway

rain here too??

ESPNCricinfo confirmed that there is no TV coverage at the ground. So I guess everyone will rely only on www.espncricinfo.com for updates.

I hear Ireland have won toss and will bowl 1st...........................*Being on Bangers* was gonna be my opening move but I may change mind if i can't get on well above evens!

Ireland 9 matches without defeat in T20 internationals

yes against associate members - not proper teams

Bangladesh may as well be an associate team.

Belfast - no rain for another 45 mins at least.

Ireland won the previous T20 between these two. But Bangladesh have the advantage in the longer matches.

Shakib Al Hasan is in the Banger lineup and he would be worthy of a place with most test playing nations.  basically he is Top Class though not perhaps suited by conditions in Belfast!

any live commentary available for this match?

Any Betfairers watching this game from the ground have a Gigantic Advantage here!

cricinfo is S H I T.... everytime i go on it, it crashes my browser

Bangers backers of which I am one can be pleasd as punch at this start...............though watchful for impending disaster!

A Golden Scenario would be plenty of wickets in hand, even all 10 at the 10 over mark! that would give Bangers full license to Smash it which is what they like to do!

not all 10 now

price the same?

cud be a shortened game this...advantage irish

Bangladesh only one wicket down and a reasonable RR, why is their price drifting?

are bangers really that crap at bowling?

motering along here

no bangers have some excellent spin bowling options... going to be difficult for ireland to chase 160

I have just Gone Green but most of my Green is on Bangers so will go back into market to level it out before ireland face a ball!

This seems like an easy Bangladesh win from the score at the moment!

bangladesh beat india a couple of months ago chasing over 300... no surprise they are doing well against Irelands bowlers...

From this point on the Ireland price is probably gonna be trending tighter until at least they face a ball!  I'm done here and happy with my doings!

Greened out on BAN for £65 profit at 120/4 thinking they'd collapse, wish I'd stayed in now!

Maybe not trending tighter the ireland price after a bunch of 6's!

4 5's

6's*

I think that rules out any chance Ireland had!

join the club.. i got out @ 1.61 booo hoo

1.19 looks a steel!!

Surely there's no way Ireland chase this.

These odds are crazy. Another insane market.

190 - massive compared with other totals posted at this ground

No way I am getting out at these odds.

any body in there at ground what is the weather like is there a light drizzle

The reason Bangladesh aren't 1.12ish is because of the threat of more rain. Any reductions in T20 always help the side batting second as we've seen time and again. This total could easily be reduced to 98 off 10 overs or something

Im 2 miles up the road and the weather defo looks like there will be rain at some point...

not enough for them to go off though.

From the clouds...I would say there may be a serious downpour within 20 mins...a bit ominous looking.  I've greened up at the 1.20

i doubt that, from the radar.

Ireland 24/0 off 10 balls. Well in this match now. I don't know how likely rain is but if they go off D/L will help them a lot with a start like that

Waiting for the market to overreact and then can get some nice juicy odds.

Scrich...ive just drove past the venue and its raining here light now but the clouds look serious.  I defo wouldnt rely on them not coming off at some point and D/L kicking in.  As I say I'm out, cause I'm here and I think the market will move when the rain comes...

Players should be sharing the strike at the start of an innings. One player hitting all the big shots and if he gets out, they are stuck with effectively two new batsmen at the wicket.

Duckworth Lewis relevant here...and Ireland making sure they are well ahead.

6 overs  for D/L?

I prefer to trust the radar than the meteorological guesswork of Betfair community posters!

See what I mean, big hitter out, two new batsmen there effectively, in the PP, against spin.

Stirling has only faced 6 balls

and not up with the D/L now either.

What a price collapse

lovely!
