The New Nation - Internet Edition

Bangladesh Cricket team suffered a humiliating defeat in the three-match one-day series, losing all by big margins, in particular in the third and last one-day international. None of us hoped that Bangladesh would triumph and return as hero. But we expected a brave fight and signs of promise in them. But sadly, nothing of that sort happened. It was because the players were not committed, rather were shaky and suffered from diffidence.

In addition, the umpires were hostile, transmitting that the imperialistic character is not yet over. Decision against Ashraful in the second one-day opens the imperialistic character of the TV umpire and his crime against cricket. So far we understand, the cricket matches during the fifties to the seventies were less controversial as the umpires were utmost careful in giving decisions. Yet error during those days was acceptable, as they had no technological support. But with the induction of technology in cricket i.e. appointing the third umpire, it has been proved on many occasions that the third umpires are not impartial. They often take the side of the stronger team to negate justice deliberately and thereby make the weaker side a victim.

So, we request the ICC to think over the matter and to discover a better technique for justice.

And as for the Bangladeshi boys, we like to suggest them to be mentally stronger than before and not lose to game before take the field.
