Can BD make history?
There is no doubt that stadiums looked deserted almost in every match of the underway U-19 Cricket World Cup, the coverage by the television and the newspapers was substandard, but smiles appeared on the lips of the nation from right now although the crucial match with the West Indies is to be played today.
Indisputably, hosts Bangladesh are now two matches away from writing a success story in red-letters, which every nation does once in a lifetime. For example, Brazil did it in 1958 beating hosts Sweden 5-2 in the World Cup Football final.
Can our cricketers make history next week?

Practice first then advise
Every state is under obligation to take care of its citizens. But in the case of the USA, the story is different. No government of that country can say how many men Police kill every year. It means that the price of a man the State country is less than anything and that is why there is no record of deaths with the government.
So, in no way the US government can issue any statement about human rights’ conditions in other countries of the world, concealing owns ghastly situation. Rectifying oneself at the time of advising others is more important.
