That's a complete different story, he's worked wonders ever since he's been appointed captain of team that was pretty much dead and buried at the time. His captaincy skills will make one think he's been in the game for a rather long time. To be able to assert your authority over the big guns like Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, pollard is no job of a fool!

Go Sammy!

well said!

WI has won.

I'm sleeping early tonight! See you all on Thursday night for the 1st ODI.

Sohel · #**3978** November 25, 2012, 12:14 AM

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...

Many of us already know all that, but still.

Furtibaaz · #**3993** November 25, 2012, 01:24 AM

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 !!!

Isnaad · #**3994** November 25, 2012, 01:28 AM

Abul Hasan's average is higher than that of Bradman! XD

Ian Pont · #**3995** November 25, 2012, 02:35 AM

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!!!

reyme · #**3996** November 25, 2012, 03:43 AM

Thank you Ian Pont for being one of the best well wisher of BD cricket!

shivfan · #**3997** November 25, 2012, 04:10 AM

Well done, Tino....

Bring on the ODIs!

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?

LOL, if offered enough money even likes of Flower/ Arthur will leave England/ Australia to come coach Bangladesh, guranteed. Money talks
