Hashim Amla

159 off 128 balls; when you read Hasim Amla's score out loud you tend to imagine a ferocious innings with cross-batted whips and strokes down-the-track with the player dripping in Canberra's humid conditions. The South African's innings though depicted anything but that. The way Amla casually nudged the singles seemed like magic. It was like watching a calm craftsman at work, with his hands producing a creation ever so special. After reaching his century, courtesy of a gentle push down the ground, Amla gently lifted his bat and acknowledged the crowd. There wasn't any overreaction, no relief and neither was there a fist-thump; and he eventually went on to smack 50 more runs. It's a sign that Amla is hungry for more and that's not particularly good news for the rest of sides.

আওয়ামী লীগকে মিছিল করতে দেওয়া হবে না: স্বরাষ্ট্র উপদেষ্টা

স্বরাষ্ট্র উপদেষ্টা বলেন, আইনশৃঙ্খলা রক্ষাকারী বাহিনীকে এ বিষয়ে কঠোর নির্দেশনা দেওয়া হয়েছে। পুলিশ কর্মকর্তারা পরিস্থিতি নিয়ন্ত্রণে ব্যর্থ হলে তাদের বিরুদ্ধে ব্যবস্থা নেওয়া হবে বলেও হুঁশিয়ারি দেন তিনি।
