It
was so close, yet so far! The two-run defeat has brought tears in the eyes of
sixteen crore people. This defeat was not hard to digest but let not this defeat
sink us into the ocean of depression. This defeat must make us determined
enough to produce better results in near future.
Since
the start of Asia Cup, Bangladesh
have displayed top quality cricket with a never-say-die spirit. Our bowlers
were disciplined while our fielders had been athletic and enthusiastic since
the tournament had kicked off while our batsmen were simply brilliant throughout
the Asia Cup.
Tamim
Iqbal showed enough character by replying his harsh critics with four
consecutive fifties, Nasir showed composure, Mushfiq was cool and above all
Shakib Al Hasan again proved why he is the best all-rounder in the world. With
ball he fetched wickets regularly while with the bat he was destructive.
Toppling
the present and former world champions had been a great achievement by a team
who before the start of the tournament were traveling through troubled waters. There
was lack of team spirit and confidence, but despite all these negatives the team
had done well to drag themselves out of the rut and give their best shot.
The Bangladesh
cricket team were the flavour of March and they have won the hearts of every
cricket followers with their exciting brand of cricket. Yes, despite playing
one-day cricket since 1986 and Test cricket since 2000, still the Tigers have
not been able to strike gold in any one-day tournaments but it was delightful
to see that the team has started to realize their true potentials and seemed
eager to win rather than essaying just another better performance. This eagerness to win matches were missing and thakfully it's getting installed in the team.
I am
sad with the result as my expectations were high but, with this brand of cricket exhibited by our boys has made me proud. I am
proud of my team. I feel proud to be a Bangladeshi.
Thank
You
