Go Sammy!

Will Gayle carry his bat? Legendary feat for any test opener.
Powell just blocked a fulltoss like Nazza! and Rocky. A prompts La Gordita to sing.

If we would have continued with Jo and RS in test matches, we could have drawn quiet a few test matches by now..... They would have also become better with time I guess...

I don't have much in the form of any kind of "come back" to comments like "Bangladesh should not be a test playing nation" after yet another disappointing test series in the last 12 years...........However, "Are we ever going to learn" is what my ingenuous soul continues to search for..."so naive" what others assert.
So close to at least five more centuries and we threw them all away in the two matches....ans yes we should won the first test..... just mind boggling!!!
Nonetheless TIGER fan forever !!!

The reality of BD cricket will never dampen the resolve and support of the BD fans, who blindly back the team when they just don't deserve it.
I praise the amazing supporters of cricket - the fans - for this superb vocal and crazy fanaticism of the players.
It makes for a special atmosphere and excitement when there should be none and shows how much passion BD fans have for the team and country. One day, we all hope it translates to the players.
I salute you all!!!

Coach, from your very recent tone, it sounds as though even if you were offered all the money in the world to coach BD, you would refuse since the players are hell bent on self destructing. Is this correct?
