This has got to be a new low for us - had to live to see the day we conceded a trophy to Afghanistan. Lojja shorom bole kisu thakle keu ei performance e shontushto hobe na.

As my friends would often remind me: "Let''s be honest, you are not exactly Pierce Brosnan. Tumi to aar supermodel der biye korba na. So learn to accept reality and live accordingly."

Or as Kabir astutely observed: "I mean let's be honest, I knew from the start I will never be lick Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates so I would not risk dropping out of college."

Or as someone would remind me in mosque: "Let's be honest...what is the first thing a person does when he wins lotto or becomes millionaire? That's right..spends it! So it is because of this reason we should shun materialism and be happy with what we have."

Or as many pragmatic minded people would often wisely remind us: "Let's be honest. Bangladesh is a 9th or 10th ranked team without any world class players. Curb your enthusiasm and be practical."

Eita ektu beshi bole fella na? We have the current No.1 test/ODI All-Rounder. Isn't he NOT of "world class" according to your standards?

Our main disappointment is, despite having good coaches like Pybus/Mushtaq et al and good facilities...how come they lose like this? This was the only match they played with full 20 overs! Utterly disappointing!

Also, reminds of the incident when the former Bangladesh skipper joked around during the post match conference of BD vs WI match! I love tigers and is an ardent fan, but losing against a club team,when players like Pollard/Narine/Cooper are not even playing is UNACCEPTABLE!!

If Bangladesh do win the T20 World Cup (or even reach the semi's), it would be awks considering we lost to T&T.

Bangla, what's happening with your team, consistently losing with teams ranked below and teams that don't have any international stars?

How's accepting the loss of a cup to a team ranked 16th being practical?

But of course, you can't expect one to catch the sarcastic greenery of your post early on a Monday morning.
