Poor display of Bangladesh and Future

Bangladesh cricket is again passing testing time. We have finished our run in recent Asia Cup. We know all sorts of scrutinise and Investigation will be made . Too many

Scholars will give several opinions but result will be a big Zero. But my opinion is

Plain and simple , we are doing too many experiment. I can compare this team with

Current Bangladesh Government . we do ‘t have any idea who has actually run the

Team. While Srilanka came to the test cricket , they always maintained a standard. They did have behind a great school cricket infra structure . They were getting limited success in the international cricket . but they made their presence felt.

Duleep Mendis, Roy Dias got respect from the world cricket while Arjuna Ranatunga and Aravinda –de -Silva had entered to the cricket as future great. Gradually we got the greatest names of world cricket Muttiah Muralitharan, Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakkara , Mahela Jayawardene and other greats . while they

end their carrier they will do have equally personal and team success. This was the continuation. Only one Sir Garry Sobers, Dave whatmore and Tom mody did not change the Lanka cricket. Lanka officials did have a long term plan but that does not mean Srilankan media has ruined the other sports of the country as our media ditched our football. They do

have star like Susanthika Jayasinghe . Now If we look at Bangladesh crciket without any doubt

Bangladesh team did not maintain same squad even in one tournament. Our resource is limited but

We show the luxury to drop our best players off and on. Our A team does not have big diffrence with

The main team. What is most important right now , We should maintain best 17 at least next 2 years and besides we have to make our reserve banch strong. Team composition should be like that

Tamim Iqbal ,Mohammad Ashraful , Raqibul Hasan Mushfiqur Rahim ,Alok Kapali , Aftab Ahmed, Mashrafe Mortaza , Abdur Razzak, Shahadat Hossain , Shahriar Nafees, Shakib Al Hasan, Syed Rasel, Rajin Saleh, Tapash Baisya, Dhiman Ghosh. Enamul Haque jnr

These are the players who have impressive track record in last some years

On every form of cricket. Now National selectors should maintain this 17

Or do plus minus one or two. Cricket is a process. We need good leader ship

As well. We do have batsmen of class like Mohmmad Ashraful, Aftab Ahmed and Alok kapali who can destroy any level of bowling in their best day. Tamim and Sakib are even not behind. Mushrafe and Razzak could give best challenge to any team any time. So we have to ensure that those players should get confidence from selectors that they

Will not be thrown out of the team because of one or two bad performance. Besides we need a captain who can equally lead from front with performance and represent the team with best leadership quality. Ashraful is a great asset for this team. A team like Bangladesh can’t afford to loose one Asharful, Aftab or Alok.

Still after that my bet is for Shahriar Nafees or Alok Kapali.

Alok Kapali, The VVS Laxman of Bangladesh

England came to Bangladesh before their historical Ashes Victory of 2005.

Steve Harmison was one of the express pacers of that time. Bangladesh was struggling

Like any thing against his 155 km speed even in a dead track. They could not read even

the bouncer of him. But one Bats Man was simply fearless . Despite he has made the

28/30 only but while he was on the action It seemed , “ Cricket is the easiest game in the word”.

He is none other than Aok Kapali , A boy of my home town and who was grown up

In front of us. I don’t want to tell more but his in and out of the Bangladesh team is a

regular business. Actually After getting Test status Bangladesh never did any thing

good in longer version of game. I don’t count what we did in Last world cup. Because

There is illustrious history of the under dogs in world cricket. But I am surprised on activities of the selectors and decision makers of the BCCB. Despite having limited resources in hand, they show courage

to keep out the Calibre of the Cricketers like Md Ashraful, Aftab Ahmed and

Alok Kapali.

You can’t measure the talent of those cricketers by record book. Because Bangladesh

Cricket Infra structure is still pre matured to dream about one Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting

and Washim Akram. So If our main cricketers are worried about their places in the team how

can they give their best?

Alok truly proved his class by epic innings of 115 against India in last night in Karachi. I Just want to

Put some reference in here.

From Cric Info-

“ Alok Kapali's dazzling 97-ball 115 against India on Saturday could well prove to be the watershed of his career.’

From Criket Next-

“In the Bangladesh innings, Kapali produced a gem of an innings, giving Bangladesh the much needed momentum. It was prototype of a perfect one-day knock, quick running doubled with lusty hits. The dynamic batsman cleared the boundary at will, smashing Yusuf Pathan for two sixes in an over and then picking Gony over the cover boundary. Falling on the penultimate ball of the innings, Kapali hit five sixes and ten boundaries in his knock”.

Washim Akram, Harsha Bhogle, Ian Chappell all were really excited about his batting

Display. Local Media of Bangladesh has raised a question ‘ If Alok will go to deep sleep or not.”

My Answer is “ First Bangladesh Cricket control Board should stop day dreaming

and give confidence to our Cricketers about their place in the team”.

At last I want to say Alok reminds me the Indian great Cricketer VVS Laxman.

VVS is my most favourite batsman till date and he has same history of In and Out

He proves to Indian cricket one word “ Form is temporary but class is permanent”. My best wishes for Alok Kapali.

Total Foot Ball

It was the year of 1974 world Cup. whole world did have a witness of new version of football. In this system a player moves out of his position is replaced by another from his team, thus retaining the team's intended organizational structure. In this fluid system, no player is fixed in his nominal role; anyone can be successively an attacker, a midfielder and a defender.. One man was the architect of this football and

He is none other than great Rinus Michels. Dutch forward Johan Cruyff was the system's most famous exponent . This concept is known as Total Football. Many

Team tried to adopt it but none could do better than Netherlands. Same display is

Witnessed again in 1988 while Rinus Michels returned with a classic squad which

Was lead by some greatest football artists of the history Ruud Gullit , Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Ronald Koeman . there was some spell bound performance of Netherlands against USSR.

Just last night History repeat but in different form . Now 20 years gone. USSR is no

More in Globe but Russia is there. Another Loyal Student of Total football Guus Hiddink has taken Total football in another level. Andrei Arshavin has

Taken the lead and implemented beautifully defeating Netherlands 3-1.

The Goal.com has a nice write up in here.

Thanks Arshavin and Thanks Hiddink for another wonderful Total football night.

Politcial Transformation of Bangladesh

1/11 is one of the biggest turning points of the Bangladesh history. What I can say is that it is one of the significant Military -Civil Elite coups of the history. The chief Architect of 1/1 Lt Gen Masud Uddin Chowdhury has been transferred to foreign ministry. This is

The second time. It is a big news because one of the central point of this Army backed

Civilian Government was General Masud. Process of set free of the two prime leaders of Bangladesh

Sheikh Hasina Wazed and Khaleda Zia have already been started.

But the most significant question is right now what is going on?

1) Will election be scheduled on time under this EC or most important under State of Emergency?

2) Why is the initiative taken to make local election before National parliament election?

3) After 1/11 human records of Bangladesh have reached in the worst level. Price of

Regular goods are out of reach. Besides This Govt is poking their nose in each and every sector which is not even their Authority. They are backed by one portion of

Civil society who are completely detached from ground level.

As a result common people are desperate to look for a change. International community

Can able to realize also the public support which this Military backed Junta is claiming

Is nothing but fake.

One significant thing is that after the departure of Mr. Anwar Choudhury, Last British High commissioner of Bangladesh, this transformation has started to work. . It was

Obvious that Mr. Chowdhury was the shadow foreign Minister of Bangladesh.

So this change was evitable.

Defination of Elite

I have just come across my favorite blogger Mash Bhai’s wonderful write up. I am equally enjoying now a days some write up of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. Basically

It was two reverse instances and Culture. Ms Clinton is so affectionate about Obama
Suddenly that she is worried about his so called assassinations.

Indian media is so worried about Mr Bachchan’s Blogging status. Now they are worried

That they will be exposed. Some of them have put some funny statement that Mr. Bachchan is paid highly for his personal blog.

Basically I don’t want to go with the details but we are feeling that all of us are really

getting detached from ground level and originality.

After 1/11 the incident of Bangladesh should be noted down. So called anti corruption

Drive, funny accusation & filing are become part and parcel of the culture. Two Ex prime ministers are imprisoned with out any valid accusation and could show the

World how much honest we all are.

Actually one class of people is always busy to give legit amity to UN elected Got and

All of their wrong did. Basically these same people are always around in every Govt.

It is very sad to see daughter of the father of Nation Sheikh Hasina is deprived of the Medical treatment.

Some Moronic comments I have also seen in The Daily Star on 25th May

“ Some say it is all right that the interim government is not allowing Sheikh Hasina to go abroad for treatment. The logic is that she didn't develop the healthcare facilities in Bangladesh while she was the Prime Minister for long five years. Should Sheikh Hasina lose her hearing as a penalty for not developing much the healthcare system in the country? “

Basically problem is that while One Barack Obama comes against the wind, Elite
EX first lady has issue.

If one self made Amitabh Bachchan speaks from his Indian Elite politicians, Film media

Do have issue.

Elite class of Bangladesh thinks Sheikh Hasina is not cultured enough.


Basically one thing we forget always those Personalities have come across the long way. If we can’t give them respect it is not their problem, but it is our problem.

Because we are nothing but the pawn of the Elites and they have one religion

Called hypocrisy.

The Lalit Modis are murderers of Sir Wg Grace

It was 23^rd October, 1915, One white bared gentle man has left the world on very particular day . But He has already achieved the immortality in history. He is none

Other than Sir William Gilbert Grace , the father of Modern day Cricket. Gradually

We have got Several legends of this game. Modern day Cricket has come across

Long distance. This game has a complete different Identity . It was never an Olympic

Event. So concept of Cricket is not like the Soccer or Rugby.

Due to the extreme popularity of this game in sub continent commercial side of this game is explored. South Asia is one of the highest populated area of this globe.

Now a days word Revolution is used as the complement of Commercialization. Indian premium league (IPL) is one big instance of that.

Big music, dancing of cheer leaders, stage show, Flashy dress what you won’t find here . It seems you are coming in any music concert or Fashion show. Cricket is secondary in here. Media Hype is enough to bring the spectators.

But will it bring any benefit for the cricket? I have already mentioned Concept of cricket is not compatible with Olympic. So 20-20 Concept is developed. Basically

This form of game is a big threat to the game . To build a green top surface

Is treated as big drawback in such form of game.

So this type of tournament is become the graveyard of the Bowlers. If Dale Steyn and M Morkal are hugely successful in Test ,they do have real problem to cope with this form of game.
. Kolkata Night Rider owner Sharukh Khan even advised Bengal cricket

about the preparation of Wickets.

Basically Cricket Batting is a big issue still now. People Like Lalit Modis are gradually killing the spirit of this sports.

I accused Lalit as Murderer of Sir W G Grace. I don't know where will be Modi's position in history.

DEFINATION OF PATRIOTISM,JUDICIARY,PRESS& CORRUPTION BANGLADESH STYLE

Another Month of March has been passed . We are slowly moving towards the Mid part of the year. Just

I am being curious “ How are the people of Country in so called non political , non violent and Corruption free Bangladesh.?”

I think they are doing quite fine. I am giving some example-

“ There is an Editor who has made a new revolution in journalism post 1/11. We came to know so many people through his famous “Amader Shomoy.” Every day he reminds

We reader that It is moral responsibility of Corporate to give advertisement to save such a promising news paper. Bank is too cruel to approve the loan of 5 million BDT to save his News paper”. What a head line!

There is a special Court where there is special trial going on. Mafia God fathers are in Picnic Mode in

This special Court. Mr DIG prison has mentioned this is the responsibility of local Police station. Wow

What a sense of responsibility! But Same establishment even does not care about the physical condition

Of Ex Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

After 1/11 Rab, Administration started another war against a technology called VOIP. But Very soon they

Did have a realization that the Mother Telco of Bangladesh White Elephant BTTB even could not able

to develop Its Capacity in all those years . So Rumor is that the whole business is captured by great

officers of our patriotic army.

Our Judiciary has become Independent. But Bangladesh High court and Supreme Court are playing Musical chair games in each and every Case.

Moeen U Ahmed has got 6 Horses from India but we are still not sure when this Rice export deal

Will be executed.

Basically one of my friends told we have to reform in food habits . Because rice will be the Item of

Picnic for the near future.

But I like to ask where is our Intellectual Elite Class? Our Sushil shomaj is happy that we have been

Get rid of uncultured corrupt politicians.

But we don’t have any problem to be the slave of some dictators…. Long Live Bangladesh.
