*Official* Ireland in Bangladesh 2022/23

I think it might be a pretty docile deck so three down for 78 isn't a bad effort from us.

It would have been nice if Ireland had managed to keep their best bat and best bowler for their first test in years ?

I actually think Balbirnie is better equipped than Stirling for red ball cricket.

Out anyway though.

small sample size but Little averages above 50 with economy of over 4 in fc and didn't play in the Ireland a test against Bangladesh A so i doubt he will have been any good on Bangladeshi pitches. Stirling likewise hasn't played any fc match in years but that could be true of anyone missing that Ireland A test

Commentators once again acting baffled that Shakib's not bowling. He doesn't bowl himself much any more. We know this. You watched the same matches I did. Stop acting like it's unexpected FFS!

It's a difficult track but the bowling has been dog **** since we got to the Mominul Haque phase. Sort it out ****s.

Even less unexpected when there are five specialist bowlers other than him.

No point picking Taijul if he doesn't bowl ffs.

41 test 168 wickets Taijul under rated by many in test matches only Gavaskar & Anderson (eng) Rates him classic bowler, A left arm orthodox.

Not many players have a hat-trick or an 8-wicket haul (on debut ODI)in their entire career and then there is Taijul Islam who achieved both feats within a span of one month,

10 of the 11 Irish players in the XI haven't played an official FC cricket game in the last two years , so how on Earth are they expected to compete at Test level ?
