Tehsin and I used to be involved with the alochona group from it's inception in 1998 (alochona.org) and from the early days of alochona I followed tehsin's cricket site with great interest. Later when we had the alochona magazine I used to write for the technichal section and Tehsin was the sports section expert. I remember in '99 the day when BD beat pakistan there was a flurry of emails among alochona admins as the match progressed and we were all praying for PAK to lose wickets in their innings. This was the earliest crude form of match thread I could remember and it was funny as hell. Later I had many nights of fun and pain and anguish in this site's match threads. This site took the cricket experience to a whole new level.
I would say the last year and half has seen an explosive growth. It is now undoubtedly the biggest and best cricket site for Bangladesh cricket on the web. And surpisingly most of it's power came from this message board.
