ICC Cricket World Cup, 2010/11 / Commentary

ICC Cricket World Cup - 9th match, Group B

Bangladesh v Ireland

Bangladesh won by 27 runs

27.1

Stirling to Raqibul Hasan, 1 run, decent, gentle offspin to start. Around middle, not much spin, turned gently into the leg side

27.2

Stirling to Mushfiqur Rahim, 2 runs, fuller and driven very firmly, good shot too, wide of cover point

27.3

Stirling to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, mowed hard, Mushfiqur loves that sweep shot, but it goes straight to midwicket

27.4

Stirling to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, pushed quietly back out on the off side

27.5

Stirling to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, squeezed off the front foot and it squirts wide of point for a single

27.6

Stirling to Raqibul Hasan, 1 run, another single to end a decent introductory over for Striling

Bangladesh 125/4   PR Stirling 1-0-5-0

29.1

Stirling to Raqibul Hasan, 1 run, worked into the square-leg region

29.2

Stirling to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, driven hard and back at the bowler, the mid-off is deeply set and runs around quickly to field

29.3

Stirling to Raqibul Hasan, 1 run, another single prodded to the leg side

29.4

Stirling to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, very flat and on the pads, the batsman uses the angle to push into the leg side

29.5

Stirling to Raqibul Hasan, 1 run, Raqibul deep into his crease and pushed back to down the ground

29.6

Stirling to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, carefully worked into space to end a good over of singles for Bangladesh

Bangladesh 134/4   PR Stirling 2-0-11-0

41.1

Stirling to Shafiul Islam, no run, starts well enough, around off stump, not much Shafiul can do

41.2

Stirling to Shafiul Islam, no run, again the line is good and Shafiul doesn't look like working a single

41.3

Stirling to Shafiul Islam, no run, prodded into the leg side

41.4

Stirling to Shafiul Islam, 1 run, finally Shafiul is away from strike, shovelling this into the midwicket region

41.5

Stirling to Naeem Islam, no run, plenty of screams and shouts as Naeem thinks about a single before deciding against it to mid-on

41.6

Stirling to Naeem Islam, no run, far too easy for Stirling, this is shoved down the leg side but Naeem misses out which means Shafiul has the strike next over

Bangladesh 170/7   PR Stirling 3-0-12-0

43.1

Stirling to Naeem Islam, no run, on the stumps and he can't get it away

43.2

Stirling to Naeem Islam, no run, it's been very hard to get the ball away with no pace to work with

43.3

Stirling to Naeem Islam, no run, opens the face and tries to beat backward point but can't...more pressure building

43.4

Stirling to Naeem Islam, 1 run, finally finds a gap, worked into the leg side out to deep square

43.5

Stirling to Abdur Razzak, no run, tossed up from round the wicket, pushed firmly out to midwicket

43.6

Stirling to Abdur Razzak, no run, touch shorter and he rocks onto the back foot but can only whip it straight to the midwicket man again

Bangladesh 173/8   PR Stirling 3-0-13-0
