World cup and disaster in Japan

On March 11 the worst earthquake hit Japan followed by tsunami. We heard the news when the match between Bangladesh and England was in progress. It was a crucial match for us and Bangladeshis were glued to their TV sets if they were not in the stadium. The saddest part was that at that moment none of the Bangladeshi TV channels gave this as breaking news. After Bangladesh won the match, the breaking news was the historic win but not the disaster that had struck Japan and was continuing in the form of earthquakes, aftershocks and the nuclear disaster. Japan has always been a very good friend of Bangladesh and has been helping us in bad and good times.The officials of ICC and BCB along with the players could have observed a minute's silence to condole the death of so many people and to be one with the homeless and the injured.
