Go Tigers!

Quite frankly, the performance of the Bangladesh cricket team against New Zealand took us all by surprise. Except for a few instances, they were quite professional in playing the game. There was a marked difference in their body language, especially in the fielding department; earlier we've seen countless times the good work of the bowlers being spoiled by shoddy fielding. And it should be mentioned how Shakib Al Hasan has grown over the years and led the team from the front. We've seen him providing crucial breakthroughs, steering the team out of danger when wickets fall consistently at the other end, and of course, winning games for Bangladesh almost single-handedly. Bangladesh team is performing brilliantly in the five-match Micromax ODI series against Zimbabwe. We would like to believe that the team and the management will keep up the good work till winning becomes a habit. The World Cup '11 is now knocking at the door, the cricket fans across the nation are all looking forward to the national team to give us moments to cherish.
