Ireland in their first match on world cup lost to Bangladesh which they should have won as they successes to stop them on a low total but their inexperienced in playing the quality spin bowlers cost them though the fast bowler took the most wicket on that day.

Bowling look a concern for the England side as part from Graeme Swann and Tim Brensnan no other bowlers made an impression in the world cup so far. They have to check back if Stuart Broad is fully fit for match against Ireland who will definitely replace the James Anderson.
