Sports reporting in general and cricket reporting in particular isn't good in Bangladesh. We have "reporters" simply writing down a narrative summery of the statistics without presenting the qualitative context. We know nothing about the type and quality of the deliveries or strokes influencing match through the reporter's description of just how those numbers came about and when. Some write well and some don't but the match reporting tends to be poor when compared to those in Cricinfo and other news sources. As a matter of fact, I cannot think of a single published Bangladeshi report with such context other than one of Mohammad Isam's written a while ago.
When it comes reports not related to a match, we tend to conflate terms and create unnecessary controversy. We have a long way to go when it comes to sports reporting also.
