“Better is expected”
Probably you, the captain of the Bangladesh cricket team, have taken his asking as “Rebuke” but it was a “Cry” from the bottom of the heart of the board president which echoes millions of Bangladeshis and he has the right to do so. Late Maj. Khaled Mosharaf and Maj Haider, the legendary sector commanders, would always asked for more even if the “Boys” gave their best. It does not mean that they “Humiliated” their boys by asking for more, they just wanted their boys to give their best. It is how boys used to be inspired. How a leader of a group could stand in front of those sector commanders and defend after losing more then 100 boys [read runs] in an attack where there seemed to be a wining situation, just because of lacking in attitude [clearly there was along with the body language ] to win the war. When the boys could do it after nine months why it could not be done after more then 150 months [read Tests]. Just saying “Doing Better” is definitely not enough. I would like to remind you, Mr skipper, the famous quotation by Thomas Fuller: “Good is not good where better is expected”
