Humiliating capitulation!
Mohammad Shafiqul Islam, Lecturer, Department of English. Metropolitan University, Sylhet
It's long since Bangladesh started playing cricket. If they continue playing cricket in the manner as they are now in Sri Lanka, cricket fans in Bangladesh will find solace by forgetting the game. If anybody talks about the team's being greenhorn to favour the cricketers, he or she would not be justified. The cricketers have too much experience as well as training to at least avoid scoring 89 and 62 all out!Sheer irresponsibility, frivolity and nonchalance are bringing bad name to the nation. They are fondly called Tigers by the whole cricket world but they are not doing justice to the title. The government has been spending a lot of money for these cricketers. The blame certainly can't be laid on the pitch as the Lankans scored runs without facing any trouble. Even though the conditions were to some extent bowler-friendly, there was no reason to perform so badly. Sri Lanka deserve credit for Bangladesh's shameful capitulation. Their performance has been excellent. Now the premise 'Bangladesh play good cricket accidentally' would be justified to the pundits who were never impressed by our performance .
