Who else to Balame? [fun post]

Because of the shameful and poor performance, Bangladesh is out of the ICC World Cup 2011. Even after winning 3 of the 6 matches and having equal 6 points same as West Indies, Bangladesh could not make to the next round. Now question is who are responsible for this incidents and whom can we blame. Most of the people we will answer that members of Bangladesh team are responsible and so is the management. We all know more or less about the wrong decisions of the team management. They will be the first one to be blamed. To show my support for the national team and to enlarge the area of blaming, I took the liberty to find other parties whom can we blame. So let see who else should be blamed….

1) England:

You may ask why England should be blamed. Answer is simple. Cricket was originated from England. If England didn’t make this game, we couldn’t play it and hence we couldn’t do so badly.

2) ICC:

ICC should be blamed. Because if ICC didn’t organize the World Cup tournament, we wouldn’t play World Cup. And so we didn’t have to see those embarrassing scores.

3) Again ICC:

You already know we needed 4 wins but we had 3 wins. And these 3 wins are against Ireland, England, Netherlands. And we lost against India, West Indies, South Africa.  So you see we can only beat the “……Land”s. If there were any other ‘….land’ in Group B, we could have beat that team and make it to the second round. For your Information, only other cricket playing ‘….land’ is New Zealand and that was in Group A. If and only if, New Zealand was in group B, we sure would beat them. So it was totally ICC’s fault because they didn’t put New Zealand in Group B. It would look nice if all “….land”s were in same group. 😛

4) West Indies:

This team has beaten us. but they couldn’t beat England. West Indies made us to collapse but they couldn’t do it to England. Instead they were collapsed at the end. So West Indies should be blamed.

5) Nature

Nature is the biggest culprit . Japan was hit by massive Tsunami & Earthquake. I certainly hope that it will never happen to Bangladesh. But at least there could be some rain. Even there was rain in our neighbor country India. If there were some rain in WI & SA match, those match could have been given up and points could be distributed equally. Hence we could make it to the next round. But alas….:(

Anyway I could have found some more parties to blame but I think it’s time for some serious talk. No one in the world is responsible for someone else’s actions. Every people are responsible for his action and hence he is to be blamed.

Game Over!

So that was the last match of the group Stage for Bangladesh. And now it was also the match of ICC World Cup for Bangladesh. Even after winning 3 of 6 matches, Bangladesh team couldn’t make it to the quarter-final.  Team was standing on two equations for that. First victory of West Indies against England and second, Bangladesh’s victory over South Africa. From the beginning we all knew Bangladesh will not satisfy the 2nd equation. So we all depended on the first equation. But unfortunately West Indies failed us after raising our hopes. They were so close to the victory but at the last moment they collapsed.

As the first equation didn’t work out, we had to depend on the second equation and that is Bangladesh’s victory over South Africa. And again unfortunately Bangladesh lost. They didn’t just lost, they lost with greatest shame. They scored only 78 for all wickets utilizing 28 overs.

As because Bangladesh is out, I have lost interest on the World Cup.  I was so excited and I really hoped and prayed that our team will go to the quarter-final stage.  And now all those excitements are gone. I am sure there are many people like me. Everyone is disappointed because of the poor performance. People are so ashamed they don’t want to wear the cricket team’s jersey anymore.  I am not that much sporty person. But yet I bought Bangladesh team’s jersey to show my support.  But now like many people, I might not wear this jersey ever again. It is really ironic that in our own country, we feel shame to wear the jersey and show our support to the national team.

After shameful 58 & 78, in future, people will not expect much from this team. But the fact is that it is the only cricket team we got. This is the team that represents our country. So, no matter what happens, we have to support out team. And we will continue to do it. We have to remember that we are still growing. we already have achieved some achievements. I hope cricket board will take right initiatives to better in next time. Till then we hope for the best and enjoy the rest of the matches.

Isn’t it time for a flag??

It’s almost time. Count down time has come to the last hours. Now less than 24 hours remains before the largest cricket tournament starts. Tomorrow with the inauguration ceremony, Cricket World Cup will starts its one and half month-long journey.

This is the first time Bangladesh is hosting such a big event.  And Bangladesh is now ready for successfully host the event. BCB and Govt. upgraded  tje stadiums in Dhaka and Chittagong and decorated those two towns  wonderfully. I have seen few pictures of the stadiums and areas  around those stadiums. They look so nice that at first I didn’t believe it is in Bangladesh. But yet all the preparation is not perfect. There are some mismanagement. But I guess we can ignore those mismanagement because we are hosting such a big event for the first time. May be we will be perfect in next time.

Talking about mismanagement, Ticket distribution was the largest one. But still our people were patient enough to stand in queue for 2 days. This indicates how much excited we are for the world cup tournament.  And I guess we are so excited that we forgot to rise our national flag to show our support our national team.

During the FIFA world cup, entire Dhaka city dressed with  the flag of Brazil, Argentina, England and other countries. No one raised Bangladesh’s flag because Bangladesh didn’t play in FIFA World Cup. But what about now? Bangladesh in playing in ICC World Cup and it is hosting the tournament. So It should place even more flag that we did during FIFA world cup.

There is a logic for not placing and flag. That is flags placed during in FIFA world cup to show which team the person supports. There were different flags because people were supporting different nations. But this time everyone is supporting only one team and that is our national team. So people are thinking, I guess, “there is no point showing which team I am supporting”. But still we should raise flag and show our support to the national team. This is the least thing we can do and I’m sure this is not too late for that.

 

Whom are you betting on tonight?

 

Tonight is the big night. Tonight is the closing of month-long “greatest show on earth”. Tonight is the final of the FIFA World Cup 2010. Closing ceremony in now just few moment away.

Month long football show will end with the final match. Tonight the final match will give us a new champion. Champion of FIFA world cup 2010. Best two team of this world cup Spain and Netherlands will fight each other for their first world cup. Netherlands have the experience of playing final but spain is playing final for the very first time. Both of the team is on form. It’s really hard to predict who is going to win. On matter who wins, the match will be interesting. Because the winner will be the 8th county who have won the cup. 7 country won the last 18 world cup. Brazil 5 times, Italy 4 times, Germany 3 times, Argentina and Uruguay 2 times and England and France have won one time only. So the winner of the great tournament will have the honour to be the part of history as the new champion and winner of 19th world cup. So who is going to be the winner. Amazing predictor octopus paul have predicted that spain is going to be the winner. Another octopus paulin from Netherlands have predicted that it’s going to be Netherlands. A parrot from Singapore also thinks that Netherlands is going to be the owner. I think spain will be the winner. Who do you think will be the winner? Whom are you betting on tonight?
