If your president cannot rebuke you Shakib, who can, who will?

drivel deleted for brevity

Calm down Shakib! Let your bat and ball do the talking. Every cricketer worth his salt has done so in the past.
What a load of bullshit this article is. Each and every sentence can be riposted with ease.

Humility being the prime trait of a sportsman? Oh puhleeeez, the days of namby pamby aristrocrat cricketers are long past. You cannot be great if you are not arrogant.

If integrity was a question there would have been deductions? Wait, did you actually read Lotus's comments? Synapses not connecting there? Lotus did question the integrity.

Why should Shakib calm down? Dr Architect sir, you yourself agree that the Board president could have chosen different words or different forum, yet you chose to chastise Shakib? What about Lotus mama?

Calm down Shakib? I think he was eminently calm and correct in his response.

"To play consistently well you have to be beyond a cricketer, you have to garner every element in life and society that makes you a cricketer." What kind of meaningless psychobabble is this?

To design consistently well you have to be beyond an architect, you have to garner every element in life and society that makes you an architect. See, I can play the game too...
