Long awaited win


First I would like to congratulate the Tigers for the emphatic win over India. Yes, I am the one who wrote several times against their poor performance. I am the same person who shouted and danced like a mad man in the TV room. We want our team to perform steadily and play a positive game as they did in the last two games. Political interference and nepotism in the selection process has to be avoided.

I have a disturbing experience about a game between Bangladesh and Pakistan. One guy in the TV room was disheartened that Saeed Anwar got out in the nineties and missed his century. This time I overheard some people (who seemed to belong to a minority group, no offence intended to anyone/ group. I have friends belonging to that group who are sensible and more patriotic than I) laughing and saying that India did not care much in that match and now they were going to make a flurry of world records against Bangladesh in the last match. When OUR team is playing, can't we give full support to them? Is this too much to ask for from a Bangladeshi?
