Congratulations Tigers
Make winning a habit
We congratulate Tigers for their 3-0 series win over the Kiwis. They have repeated the result of 2010 by winning all the three one-day matches. We are happy to note that our cricket has matured in the last several years and this has shown in the marked improvements in all the departments of the game. The team management too deserves credit for the team's creditable performance.
What impressed us in particular is the overall performance in all the areas of the game, in bowling, batting and fielding observed both during the test and one day series. The team have gelled as a good playing outfit, and, unlike before, have stopped relying upon individual performances of a few players only.
The visiting New Zealand team came here to salvage some pride after the 4-0 one-day series loss in 2010, but the Tigers were determined to win. We have seen Bangladesh emerging as a giant-killer for quite some years but the team never seemed to perform in all the three formats of the game consistently. What now matters the most is to continue in the same spirit and better their performance aganist other teams.
As we laud the guests for their sporting acknowledgment of a fired-up Bangladeshi side, it needs to be admitted that as a cricket team we have begun to perform with a purpose in mind and with confidence.
The Tigers are no longer the minnows of international cricket. We wish them greater success in the future.
