Well done Bangladesh !
Today, I had a chance to watch the highlights of the match between Australia and Bangaldesh which was held in England (not sure which ground) as part of the tri-nation series in the near past. And as many of you might know, Bangladesh won the match by 5 wickets (with 4 balls to spare).
I am watching Bangladesh play after a long long time (dates back to a period when Akram Khan or someone was the captain of the side). I was thoroughly surprised and impressed by their performance. Ashraful scored a brilliant century ( I term it as brilliant for two main reasons : 1. He scored it against a world class attack, 2. Some of the strokes he played, both orthodox and unorthodox, were a treat to watch).
One striking point about this match was their approach : very very positive till the end and seemed to be very committed. They seem to have matured by the day. They needed 140 odd in 19 odd overs I guess and they still managed to win (mind you, Australia played all their strength - No B-team )! Wow !
Currently, Australia are touring Bangladesh and heard that they are given a good competition here too.
May be we can expect a couple of upsets in the coming world cup ! Well done Bangladesh !
