Apology for cricket!

In the first innings of the second Test, Bangladesh registered their lowest total in a completed innings (62). This also happens to be the lowest completed Test innings on Sri Lankan soil. To make matters worse, Ashraful's first innings duck puts him alongside Khaled Mashud (Pilot) with the most ducks (11) recorded by a Bangladeshi batsman in Tests. To add further insult to injury, Bangladesh's innings lasted only 152 balls. This is the fourth shortest completed Test innings ever. The Great Muralitharan now has 687 wickets. He's probably going to bag 13 more wickets during this Test series. The way our batsmen are performing time and again, why shouldn't Murali get those wickets and enter the 700 Test wicket club only to make another Great, Shane Warne, history? I think it's about time somebody stands up and makes a public apology for squandering taxpayers' money in the name of playing cricket.
