A welcome victory

It is Jamie Siddons who rightfully inspired the warriors of Bangladesh led by Md Ashraful to defeat New Zealand at home. According to the sports report of The Daily Star published on 6 August, the coach articulated his clear position on Ashraful's approach, especially with the batting order wearing thin. 'Ashraful has been let loose for 128 ODIs. I would like to reign him in a little bit now and see him bat a bit like the last tri-series ( Kiptly Cup ) at home,' said Siddons. Again Siddons reiterated, “We were pretty bad in Australia but good in the Asia Cup (in July). Obviously, losing those players to the ICL was a hiccup but these boys are generally improving.” The seven wicket victory is really a great achievement for the overall cricket of Bangladesh. The people are still in confusion regarding the team's confidence level. I would like to personally thank Mr. Siddons for his encouragement to and appreciation of our cricket.
