This time they fought like tigers with their symmetric and graceful performance and clean swept the formidable 'Kiwi feathers'. A feeling of 'we can' coursed through our veins. Every drop of our blood bubbled inside us in joy. Four consecutive wins against a top opposition is no fluke. It is our cricketers that have at last redeemed our image of being a weakling. Our cricketers have torn the shackles of failure. They are no more paper tigers. They are real tigers. Let us rejoice and resolve to bring success in every sector through the same determination, dream and team spirit bowling out the corrupt and criminals from the country.

The 4-0 win against New Zealand was indeed a great achievement and a milestone for Bangladesh cricket. The umpiring was also excellent. Hats off to Aleem Dar. He really is a world-class umpire and I hope he will come back to Bangladesh for future matches. I, however, did not agree with the third umpire's decision in the case of Shakib Al-Hassan in the final ODI. If umpires are not capable of making the correct decision even after a TV replay, then he is not fit to be an umpire. At that point Shakib looked like he would make a big score and take the Bangladesh total to beyond 200 runs, but he was denied this opportunity. I hope the Tigers will keep up this momentum till the next world cup and at least reach the semi-finals this time. Congratulations! Aminur Rahim, New DOHS, Dhaka
