ICC had a grand vision. On a sunny April Sunday, India and Pakistan would play in front of packed houses and bring the world cup to life. If ICC was lucky, this game would be a crucial game with the loser getting thrown out of the world cup. Unfortunately for ICC, this scenario did not come to pass. Instead, Bangladesh was playing Ireland in a match which would determine who among them would occupy the last spot.
Bangladesh for all the giant-killing it has done in this world cup, has a very sub-continent trait of being inconsistent. This inconsistency led them to a defeat in a game where they were, for once, the favorites. Ireland won the toss, elected to bat and went to post a very competitive total after a sedate start. KJ O'Brien and Trent Johnston provided the much needed impetus with some lusty hitting. Chasing 243 would not have been a problem for Bangladesh if they had gotten off to a good start.
Bangladesh lost wickets regularly and were never in the chase. The bane of bad batting (lack of partnerships) was their biggest problem. It did not help Bd that Habitual Basher...er...Habibul Bashar is in a batting slump. We would have liked to see Bashar play well. He has a reputation of being a fierce puller and is very well known for his addiction to the hook shot. Sadly, he was nowhere near his best.
Despite doing a lot of commendable things in this world cup, this loss must be a real downer for Bangladesh. On the other hand, Ireland played exceedingly well and were captained brilliantly. Trent Johnston did a great job captaining the side and played very good cricket too. For our money, Trent Johnston was the man of the match.
Ireland has done a commendable job in this world cup. We really hope that they don't go the way Kenya did after the last world cup. Ireland needs a lot of love. Money will help too. But the most important thing Ireland needs is: matches with other test playing countries. ICC should not drop the ball with Ireland. They can be a test playing country pretty soon if they are given the needed encouragement.

That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
