Bangladeshi newspaper mocks Indian team

[Ocelot]

Indians just getting a taste of their own medicine. I don't understand Pakistanis here preaching Bangladesh what they shouldn't do. Remember those 'Afridi baba 11 chor' headlines that Indian media ran around Mohali semifinal, where was sportsmanship there? I say good job Bangladesh!

Indeed, a team's professional integrity is very important.

Our cricket team's integrity is largely intact now. In fact, better than in the past. The only potential issue I'm worried about is the ego of our batsmen. What the media and fans do shouldn't have any impact on a team's professional integrity.

Our politicians and the most powerful Bangladeshi businessmen (including the ex-president of ICC) didn't say or commit to anything out of the ordinary for the record.

Fans do all kinds of silly things relating to sports. And yes, I do admit that we are a passionate bunch. Probably a little too much. The term 'tigers' was largely coined by the media, not by the cricket team itself.

But then, there are other examples. Football hooliganism in Europe and Russia is a well known phenomenon. And so are hockey fans in Canada. Should that impact a team's professional integrity? Not necessarily.

The one thing that our team could use is a big sports sponsor. Sponsors like Sahara (lol), Axiata, Bata, Telenor and a bunch of others just don't cut it. I guess time will tell given that they go to further heights.

But i was not talking about professional integrity, never mind!!
However i will just want to point out that you CANNOT compare Ice hockey and football with Cricket, known as the game of lords and gentleman. Even if we do not take that into account, there is some self respect, some dignity that have to be to taken into account not of the team only but of whole nation sir.

Well, anyways, its your team you choice, you have a right to celebrate it as you want to just like the people who will talk against it have a right to express there point of view about it. Wish you and the Bangladesh team best of luck for future series.

Oh, I'm no gentleman. Hence, not much of a cricket person
