Anyone else lost interest in BD cricket?
Or am I being too harsh on this?

Not me. Failure to qualify for the qf stage may be a blessing in disguise. If Siddons leaves, there is a good chance our cricket will be back on track for progress (not the the fake progress he eluded us all this time).
A-team tours are coming up in time, and they will be followed by series against teams closer to our strength. This is the wrong time to stop following Bangladesh cricket.

Agree, but not that I wanted our team to lose. But yes, that can be the only positive thing to look at.
If JS continues, I bet I'm never ever going to watch any cricketmatch of Bangladesh anymore.

I would urge people not to take day off work just to watch BD matches or watch BD matches before next days' exams. You can always watch highlights if BD win a match. I feel sorry for the fans who queued up all those days and bought tickets to the matches and were treated to such rubbish.

Are you okay mate? Got rejected by someone or something? What about all those fans following Detroit Lions, LA Clippers and all the losing teams which never even won a game? You dont like BD cricket fine, now go build your own team and I want to see where you end up.
Here is my urge to you. Grow a pair before follow a team. Even a 2 year old baby has more guts than you.

There is no escape from cricket if you are a Bangladeshi until something else become popular in India.

Our match against WI was our lowest point in the world cup. The way our boys bounced back in the following two matches was super cool. After reaching another low, I'm interested to see how they respond in the next matches against the Aussies.

If it was that easy BC wouldn't exist. Been there, done that.
1994, 2003... and many more.

Perfectly put.
You don't give up on your country, especially when she's sick. No way I'll abandon my sick mother.

"Creativity cannot be hurried." -Norbert Wiener
I am happy we didn't "prematurely" win the World Cup. Then it'd be a fata morgana. Dream. I'd rather we earn our spot than just hit upon some careless wins synchronicitically. It's like you can't expect to get a phd in one day or a black belt in one year. It will take years before we reach the World Cup final and actually win it. We will win when the time is ready. Then it will happen automatically and naturally.
So based on that BD has made tremendous strides. It's just these occasional glimpses of brain fart matches gives us reflections of what we used to be.

YOU deserve to open a new thread....i believe those two innings of 58 and 78 were not because of cricketing abilites, but of factors beyond our control....bet even in the most toughest bowling conditions, we wuldnt loose like this...it all happened when we were EXPECTING TO WIN at all costs....and also to the verge of stoning our cricketers if we dint...with that kind of expectation, humans are professionals, but not immortals.....theres a limit.....and fans make up the part of bangladesh cricket.....the way we react has an impact, and that was the reason..its all bullshit when people tell we freak out when we are expected to win matchs...oh yeah, so what with the ireland game, netherlands, game, and arguably the greatest comeback against england considering the lowest of the lowest of the seemingly eternal low we reached against wi.....
we are still progressing...the hard work has been done...now is the time to start working extra hard for the the foundations laid by previous hard wok...we are destined for some phenomenal achievements in 2015 world cup....u see

we won half our matches(yes two against lesser opponents) yet people are speaking of losing interest...I wonder how the same people reacted after the debacle of 2003?
You want to speak of humiliation, embarrassment.
-Canada won by 60 runs
-Sri Lanka won by 10 wickets
-South Africa won by 10 wickets
-NZ won by 7 wickets
-Kenya won by 32 runs
-West Indies denied a win by rain, we were 32/2 chasing 245.
So in summary, 5 matches played, 5 humiliations, with rain saving us from from having the same fate as Namibia(Zero Points), every other country won a match at the world cup.
