Poor show


After the dismal show in the recent Asia cup, Bangladesh are not playing in a manner that will raise hopes. The team has been an underachiever since getting the ODI and Test status , with only five wins in ODIs and two convincing draws in the Test matches, other draws were gifted by rain. The marked improvement they had shown in the earlier series was totally absent in the last series in Sri Lanka. They might not find South Africa a weak opponent for their upcoming away series, though South Africa are not playing very well at the moment.

Our cricketers should take a look at Kenya, their arch rival, the poor country with no cricketing infrastructure managed to qualify for the semi-final of the last World Cup in style, leaving many other big Test playing nations at bay. That team has got the talent to give the mighty Australians a hard time in any field, they didn't even have any world class coach so far.

We should learn from others.
