আমি ভাবছিলাম এত পরাজয়ের পর আমরা কেন আশায় বুক বাধি বার বার। দেশ প্রেম? জীবনের অণ্ণাণ্য ক্ষেত্রে আমাদের গ্লানি বা বিশ্ব খেলা ধুলার ক্ষেত্রে ক্রিকেট যে টূকূ দিয়েছে আমাদের সেটা কি এর কারণ। যানি না, তবে মনে হয় এগুলি সবি সত্য।

তবে ভাবতে ভাল লাগে যখন দেখি আজকের প্রজম্ম আমদের সাথে যখন এক হয়, যখন দেখি পুরা দেশটা এক হয়ে যায় ঠিক ৭১ এর মত। বিজয়ের এই মাসে স্মরণ করি তাদের যারা দিয়েছেন আমাদের স্বাধিনতা।

আপনাদের সবাইকে নব বছর এর শুভেছছা।

[B]Bangladesh skipper's fighting talk
[B]'We will show you what we're capable of'

Bangladesh skipper Mohammad Ashraful is demanding his team lift their performance ahead of tomorrow's third and final one-dayer against New Zealand, describing their effort in the previous outing at Napier as "unacceptable".

The 23-year-old batsman arrived yesterday in Queenstown to prepare for the series finale and wasted no time in laying down the gauntlet to his players, saying their performance on Friday had reflected poorly on the team in general.

New Zealand beat Bangladesh by a comfortable six-wicket margin at Eden Park on Boxing Day and then smashed them by a Duckworth-Lewis calculated 102 runs at McLean Park after racking up 335 batting first.

However Ashraful, by far the most dangerous weapon in the Bangladeshi arsenal, was confident the tourists would respond in a positive fashion to the setback, and would tomorrow show the Central Otago holiday crowd and the New Zealand team what they were capable of.

"I believe we can recover from the performance at Napier," he said yesterday. "Our effort in that match was not up to our usual standard and we're capable of playing much better than that hopefully we can prove that here in Queenstown.

"We need to lift our game in all the main areas but particularly in terms of producing a better performance in our middle-order. We can't afford to lose wickets so quickly; we need to make better decisions when the pressure is on."

New Zealand will also be under some pressure to complete the clean-sweep, knowing that just one slip-up tomorrow would send them tumbling from third to fourth place on the International Cricket Council's ODI rankings.

They have a cloud over paceman Mark Gillespie, whose shoulder injury will be monitored at practice today, and have brought Michael Mason into the squad as cover.

Bangladesh will move on to Dunedin on Tuesday to begin preparations for the opening test at the University Oval, and Ashraful said he was looking forward to the side being boosted by specialists Habibul Bashar, Shahriar Nafees and Enamul Haque (jr) who fly into Auckland today.

Bangladesh have won just a solitary test in 49 attempts, and that was against a horribly weakened Zimbabwe team in 2004-05.

However, Ashraful said he didn't buy into recent suggestions that New Zealand were ready to fall over in the test arena, just because they received a towelling at the start of their summer in South Africa.

"I don't think New Zealand are vulnerable in the tests, despite what happened to them in South Africa," he said. "They're a good side; they fight very hard and they're especially tough to play in their own conditions."

I like the way Ashraful is talking. He sounds too confident. I think we will see something special tomorrow. Inshallah.

[Rommel]

To win, we need to win the toss and bowl first. The pitch is not good for batsmen.
