Holland ffs, threw it away in the final 10 overs.
Hopefully Ireland get a massive win to boost their NRR.

Never really thought they were in it.
Ireland should be very dominant. Think their the best in this thing, including Bangla.
83 from last 10 overs, two set batsmen, handling spinners really well. They were on top.
Only thing I don't like about Ireland is that cocky cnut in the Sky studio. Anyone not into cricket would think Ireland are world beaters just listening to that guy.
I have no idea who you mean but I know the feeling well. Perhaps similar to why a lot of us don't like the idea of Spurs winning the league due to a certain unbearable so and so we share the forum with.
I think its Ed Joyce isn't it?

Nah, Ed Joyce seems down to earth. It's this guy:
He has a hard-on every time Ireland win a game. Gets all pumped up telling the world how brilliant Ireland are and how stupid ICC are not to give Ireland a test status. When they lose he blames it on the lack of resources for Irish cricket and that ICC only care about the elite teams and that it's hard to build a great team when England steal all their good players.

who is this? Dominic Cork?
Kyle McCallan and I can't really argue with those who think he's a bit irritating.
We should be beating Oman and, with Rankin and Murtagh available, our bowling looks much stronger than last year's 50 over World Cup. I've seen our results in the build up and it seems the batting has gone to shite which is a concern given we've usually batted pretty well in these major tournaments.
That catch 
Making very hard work of the Oman bowlers, so far.
As the team considered closest to deserving full international status, they need to do better! Still time to do so, though.

These Omani bowlers have got some weird and wonderful actions.
Got enough. Not too impressive but I can see this being a very comfortable win for Ireland.
Ireland getting humped so far.
the middle eastern teams would probably be filled with Indians Pakistani and SL players who were good in cricket but reached nowhere in their domestic cricket teams. So i guess it makes sense that they would be good.
Is it the same van der merwe in Netherlands who played IPL a few years back?
Bit like the Dutch and HK the Omani's have just run out of decent batsmen.
Think so. Used to play for South Africa then.
Those 5 runs saved on the boundary previous over will be the difference between the teams.
That Jatinder Singh looked rubbish.
With the position they were in, Oman should really be winning this comfortably
What a good ball.
He missed that by a mile. Shocking umpiring
Harsh on Oman.
Should have been a no ball the ball before, and then given out missing it by about 10 mile.s

Justice there.

Post match will be good. Bring it on Kyle McCallan!
Fair play to Oman, great game. I always thought Bangladesh would get through that group anyway but I was hoping we would beat everyone apart from them.
What's the deal with the Ind V Pakistan game being moved to Kolkata...BCCI having a go at the authorities for not being able to provide security at the original venue...
Oman
That last over...hah

Great knock from Aamer Ali.
Real chance that the 'test team in waiting' are going to not win a game.

Jeez
Bishop was stunned when the 18th over wasn't given to Rankin, that decision seems even more shocking in hindsight. Surely you would want your best bowler to bowl out?

I don't quite get this notion that there can only be a limited number of test teams. Hopefully one day Ireland will be able to play the bigger nations as well as countries like Oman in proper test matches. That being said, Oman deserve so much credit while Ireland were well below par. They're not even as established as Ireland and yet they played really well, some of their death bowling was terrific. Kyle McCallan can't make up excuses for today.
It was bizarre that the one bowler with test experience and a really good player didn't bowl his 4 overs.
What on earth happened there...
Well done Oman! Not very clever from Ireland.

Just caught the Oman innings Some of that bowling was criminal, and that last over was one of the worst I've seen in international cricket.
Fair play to Oman - Some of their batting was awesome! But Ireland helped them out way too much.

Anti-terrorist front.Sunny and Taskin reported for suspect actions.
Day 3: Scotland vs Zimbabwe | Afghanistan vs Hong Kong
Masakadza run out again in bizzare fashion. This time he KO'd his partner while running. Two new batsmen on the same ball.
Masakadza is a fecking beast
Edit: Sibanda chose to continue. Don't know if that's the right solution after colliding with a monster.

Scotland's opener playing 4 reverse sweeps in a row and then getting out running past one ffs.
Scots learning from England. Brainless batting.
