amra korbo joy... amra korbo joy... amra korbo joy ankdinnnnnnn...
Congrats to Tigers for yet another whitewash (even if with Ireland). Nice positives came out of the series and good to see sticking with same XI throughout the serires.
Throughout the series, our openers lead the way... middle order was not that strong, though.
Congrats to Nafis for MOS and Tamim for second highest BD individual innings.
Good team effort to put up second highest team total. Hope we are ready to take on Paku guys and snach a couple by surprise

[mahbubH]

So they'll all be gone. The backbone of the squad will be Andrew White, Cusack, The O'Brien brothers, Morgan, Rankin and Porterfield. Which leaves 8 other places to fill on the squad so an interesting development process should start soon.

Anyway, just want to wish you all good luck in the next series against Pakistan. Bangladesh is the team I support after Ireland. I'll be rooting for you!

crusser, welcome to BC, if i havn't said that already

great to see an Irish fan here

well, Ireland should invest in their under 19-team just like we did... you can see a good portion of our players were nurtured from the under-19 squad!

Congratualations bangladesh for a much needed, long awaited whitewash!!!

Was Tamim MOM?

[AsifTheManRahman]

Man, this was easy. 3 - 0 clean sweep. The Pakistani players should be peeing their pants - after all, they got clobbered pretty badly by the same Irish team the other day.
