Cricket coach
After a long time, true cricketers are leading Bangladesh cricket.
It has come to our notice that you are considering Dave Houghton as a possible coach for Bangladesh team and this has shocked us. Houghton was the person condemning and criticising Bangladesh cricket's achievements even till the last World Cup 2007. Such a man, if appointed as coach, will certainly make Bangladesh cricket move back. How can he now apply for the lucrative position of the coach of a cricket team which he viewed only a few days back as a no-brainer and no-achiever?
We would make an alternate proposition to consider Bruce Yardley as the coach . As the commentator in Bangladesh-India series, we found him encouraging our players and also criticising them whenever necessary. I was enthralled to hear his shouting "Shabash Bangladesh" when Masharfe bowled Jaffer out twice in successive innings. Bruce was the unquestionable architect of Sri Lankan cricket but had to leave for his eye-ailment and Dav Whatmore took charge and became famous as the coach of the World Cup winning team, though he was with the team for a short period.
I hope you experts will find the coach suitable for Bangladesh.
