Our 2nd Test win...
Like many other Bangladeshis, I was ecstatic by our 2nd Test. However, before basking in glory too much we need to be mindful of a couple of things. First, we need to remember that it was almost West Indies “C” team which we got our victory against. Secondly, the team had to keep in mind that the series was not over yet.
I am not trying to belittle the hard earned victory by our cricket team; rather I am as a fellow citizen and well-wisher trying to caution us from indulging ourselves with too much gratification. Because as a nation, it takes a little for us to be over emotional and be oblivious in the very next moment.
Therefore I think we need to take a deep breath and figure out how we can sustain this success in the future as well. Amid all of our shortcomings(as one of the poorest and most corrupt nations in the world) this kind of success is a breath of fresh air which enlivens our hope as a nation.
We need to take this success with guarded optimism and transform it into action; i.e. how to improve our cricket more at the grassroots level or how to make our organisational structure for cricket more efficient and accountable.
We all wish to see more golden days.
