History of Bangladesh Cricket: A Note to Moderators

[babubangla]

It is nice to see BC added a "This Day in Bangladesh Cricket"-- a history section on BC web page. This is great, but if you guys want to add such a history section, please add it after thorough research and data collection. Since it is displayed in the BC home page, image of the website is also related to its content. Chacha/Pilot mistake was a simple mistake--we all understand that. But birth of Chacha is not the only thing happened in Bangladesh Cricket on July 27th.

On July 27th 2003, Bangladesh was playing test match against Australia in Cairns. July-27 was the 3rd day of that match. This was a glorious day for BD opening batsman Hannan Sarker. In the afternoon of July 27 2003, Hannan Sarkar scored brilliant half-century--- this was his back to back half century in the same test.

This is just one example. I know it's a huge job to research all those data for all 365 days. It may be too much to ask for from a single moderator--but you don't have to do everything by your own. If you just put a simple message on the forum--many members will be willing to contribute to enrich the database for this section. Considering the image of this web site to world media, you guys need to make sure when you do something--you do it right.

BD-AUS 27th July Scorecard

Note: I posted it as a reply to a different thread. But I thought it should be in this section of the forum.

Thanks for the info, added to the main page.

If you can, post importent dates/events in Bangladesh Cricket here.

I sure will look for the staff for this section. I hope many others will also join to enrich this history section. Once the data collection done, it will be great to get glimpses of the history everyday of the year.

The following is the complete list of active days of Bangladesh Cricket Team in ODI and Test. Each of these active days could be used as an event in "This Day in History" section. Of course, the scorecards of these days will provide further details.

The data is sorted by Month. From this table, we can tell what happened in different days in a certain month in ODI & Test History of Bangladesh. For example, looking at the first number (month) in this list you can tell on July-28(tomorrow), Bangladesh Played Test Match against Sri Lanka in 2002 and against Australia in 2003. Then from scorecard, we can find out detail individual performances.

Great Collection of events, Cricman.
By the way, if you would like to ignore the loses, you can easily do that just by saying what was taking place on that day and overlooking the outcome. For example, you could say—“Bangladesh Played Natwest Series ODI against England in Brit Oval on this day” instead of mentioning the fact that we lost the match by 10 wickets.

On the contrary, we are looking back at our history. It might be full of embarrassment, but it certainly is part of our making as a future power in world cricket. Someday we will be a strong side in world cricket, but these loses will still be part of our proud history. We will consider them as the hard and painful way we came across to become the Bangladesh of that future day.

[babubangla]

You might want to add the following in your list:

22 February 1998: Raman Lamba Died due to a head injurry he suffered on Feb-20. He was fielding at shortleg and the ballhit on his skull off the bat of Mehrab Hossain. Newspapers in Bangladesh called it Bangladesh cricket's saddest day.

[Rubu]

My suggestion: not all day will be found that way, and us avid fans will remember most of the glorious events of bangladesh cricket. not date but events. so lets make a list of events first, and then do the research and find the dates. here is some important events, i can think of, on top of my head:

Ataher ali win MoM in ODI

We beat Holand using akram khan's innnings in ICC trophy.

We beat scotland to win a place in WC.

we beat kenya to win ICC trophy.

We beat scotland from one of the worst position is odi (is it 26/6?)

Nannu scores 2 centuries in WC99.

We beat pakistan.

We beat kenya in odi in india (add rafique's innings)

Mehrab hossian scores first century

that remainds me, opee's uncle scored the first 50 for the country (whats his name?)

We get ODI status.

we get test status

we play frist test and score 400.

all the test centuries.

ash's century record

JO carries the bat on debut.

alok's hattrick.

birth day of all cricketers (from cricinfo)

dav joins bangladesh

we get first innings lead twice in pakistan.

JO wins man of the series in srilanka.

ash wins MoM against SA.

We dont have to put every match we played on this day. We just need memorable, mentionable events. Keep in mind.. as time passes, there will be more and more matches played on the same date and we can not display all on the main page.

Keep it reasonable.

As time passes and more things happen, we can then ignore insignificant things and consider only the memorable, mentionable events. Until then, we might have to consider the matches played to put something for everyday. Test and ODI gives us data for 199 days and we have 169 empty days. ICC Matches, Domestic Matches, Other Tours and Birthdays and other off the field events----hopefully they will fill up the other 169.

Quality or quantity?

We dont really have to put something there just so there is something to show for today. Its built dynamically, if there is none for today, it will simply disappear.

I prefer quality over quantity. Let us concentratre on memorable/importent dates.
