BD-SA series :
After miserable defeat in the preparatory match on Thursday, can we depend on the assurance of our team management and the players that Bangladesh will produce praiseworthy performance in the ODIs and the T-20 series? A TV reporter said from South Africa that almost all the players have lost their morale and physical strength. They look tired, disheartened and drowsy, and know not what to do next.
First of all our players do not know how to respect the opponents. All the nations of the world regardless of discipline say: Our opponents are strong enough, good team, but we shall play for a win. They never say that our opponents are not formidable, we can beat them easily.
As long as our team captain and other players will mot learn how to make comments, they cannot draw respect from others. Yet we think the ODI and the T-20 series will be hard-fought.
