Got it from Cricinfo. Yes not very promising.

I remember he made his international debut in the 1997/98 Asia Cup after the ICC trophy win. He used to bowl medium pace and bat lower middle order. Those were the days when we had a chronic shortage of bowlers who could barely reach 130km/h and our pace attack consisted of Shanto, Saiful, Munna, Zakir, etc. I think he played for Bangladesh Biman in the DPL.

In that Asia cup he almost got the wicket of Azharuddin if I can recall it correctly...

It was his brave batting in that Asia cup that showed our potential. He didn't score too many runs but the way he batted -it was inspirational for us in that time. A member of our lost geneation.

He was similar type of player like Sujon. According to our standard those days, he was a decent player. He did not have much pace but had a good slower ball and used to bat well in the late middle order. As SMHasan bhai mentioned, he showed his potential in Asia cup right after our ICC trophy win and it was the match against India if I remember it correctly.

[AsifTheManRahman]

We just really sucked back then (not that we still don't). Players like Munna, Salahuddin, Morshed Ali Shumon, etc. came and went. In the Asia Cup that you guys are talking about, Atahar Ali was the only one who stood out. He was the only real man among a bunch of sissies.

ATMR, we used to play associate level that days and on that level we were not "sucked".

1-5 record against Kenya during post-ICC Trophy 1997 and WC1999 period speaks for itself. We let Kenya score 347 (which included world record opening stand) and got bowled out for 100 when batting first in our first two encounters against them after ICC Trophy.

This. We weren't even the among the top associate teams at that time. Now we have managed to whitewash NZ after 15 years. Pretty quick improvement I'd say.

Mafizur Rahman Munna, whom we all here in Toronto's cricketing arena lovingly call "Munna bhai", came to Canada a few years back, and is happily settled in Toronto with family. Munna bhai and a couple of his friends from their club cricket days in Dhaka took the initiative to start a team in the Toronto cricket league in 2006 called Bangla Cricket Club (those of you who live in Toronto would be familiar with the club), and entirely neutrally speaking - Bangla CC took our local league here by storm and secured championship in each of the first 3 years of its existence. Munna bhai was the captain of the club for the first 2 years, and later gave way to Ziaur Rashid Rupom (another regular performer in the Dhaka leagues), who's the captain currently. Bangla CC now occupies a spot in the Premier Division of the Toronto league, which is where most of the Canadian national team players are picked from.

Being local club member myself, I had the opportunity of playing alongside Munna bhai for 2 years when I was involved with Bangla CC. Unfortunately, I had to cut ties with Bangla CC last year, and I am happily settled with another club. Having said that, Munna bhai is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet in life. He's a fierce competitor on the field. He was the first person with genuine cricket background to give me tips and suggestion on my batting techniques, and I have benefited from that in a big way.

You guys can click on the hyperlink above and find out more about the league, other clubs, Bangla CC's records, Munna bhai's stats, etc etc.

Btw, I have a feeling RRQ68 is probably someone who already knows Munna bhai, and just wants to find out what those Toronto-residing BC-ites have to say about him, hehe! :P

[Naimul_Hd]

^ or, may be RRQ68 is himself Munna bhai !! who knows, right ? :ppp

[Night_wolf]

@mahir vai..i can't find Bangla CC on the provided link..help!

[Rabz]

I think so too.
Our RRQ68 is probably Munna bhai himself.

There was a point where we were completely incapable of winning anything at all. Personally, the loss to Canada didn't come as a surprise - it was inevitable.

The '97 ICC trophy win was actually a one-off. With the teams we had in the 80's and early 90's, you'd think we'd play the world cup earlier. Or maybe not - guys like Raqibul Sr. were sore losers.

I remember the old man and his lil' bro losing sleep over the loss to Kenya that kicked us out of the '94 ICC trophy. That was before I was an angry bastard, so I couldn't identify with their frustrations at the time. I was focusing more on my Iftar-time halim than the radio. Bulbul and Jahangir took us close enough, but what's the point if you can't finish it off?

There's no club page for Bangla CC like that. The website link that I mentioned is just a homepage for the league that's got all kinds of team stats, player stats, match results, etc. Follow the links on the left side of the page, you'll find everything.
