Same old story
Yes, I am back with the same old sordid story of shame and humiliation. How much more shame, in the shape of cricket, has to be piled on this poor nation's head ? Isn't there anyone at the helm who has a little shame, or we have all ostriches? If at all we have to play cricket, bring in some school boys from the village for a national eleven after kicking out all from the cricket board. They cannot do any worse. At least we will know we are not spending any money in the shape of Whatmores/Whatless and the bunch of useless cricketers. Why can't you - the press people-- start a campaign to stop this farce in the name of cricket in Bangladesh? Have we not had enough? Or else play with Afghanistan, Timbak Tu and score innings victories. At least there will be something to cheer about. Or are we destined to follow the TI rating in all fields?
I am astonished we still have the heart to play cricket. Former cricket bosses should be taken to task for allegedly using underhand tactics to attain premature ('it will never be mature though) Test status to insult us ad infinitum.
Imagine the poor Bangladeshis still go to the stadium to see this farce called cricket!
