The following quote from Alok Kapali ...

Alok Kapali on meeting his team-mates and opponents for Melbourne's charity ODI

the various interviews Bashar and other players have given display that these athletes who represent Bangladesh are humble to a fault. Part of me rebels at the thought of us being labeled cricket's "nice guys". But you know what - I'd rather take this label than that of being a "cheat" or "arrogant".

Oh god... embarrassing quote...
Unfortunately, thats the mentality of our players, if they had more self belief and were a bit more aggressive, we would see much better performances against the stronger teams.

I would certainly want our players to be humble off the field and full of pride while on the field, no matter how good they get. Give me a humble champion as opposed to a big-mouth show-pony anyday :)

I will take a big-mouth true champion over anything else. :)
