Daily Star Round-table -- Invitation for BanglaCricket

[Dizzy]

Hey all...

Daily Star is organising a round-table on cricket called "STEPS FORWARD" on Saturday, September 20, 2008.

I thought that it would be great if someone from this forum/website would come to the Daily Star office at 19, Kawran Bazar, Dhaka.

I would prefer someone from the website (staff or moderator) attending the discussion. If a member is sent, that'd be great too.

Miraz bhai or anyone please confirm me as soon as possible by Friday and tell who's attending it. My number is 01717054619. Contact me before 5pm on Friday.

Thank you.

[WarWolf]

Thanks Dizzy. It will be a pleasure. It's now time for Admins to nominate someone for the discussion.

[DJ Sahastra]

I am interested. I choose to present myself as one of the resident expert on matters related to BD Cricket and as someone who represent the interests of the cricket fans from Rajshahi, especially Himayatpur and Pabna.

Will Daily Star reimburse the travel cost? Florida to Dhaka is a little far but manageable.

April 20, 2008????? I lost my time machine or I could have attended it...

Daily Star is rich enough but I think we should have someone a bit (!) closer to home. Could anyone bring this to the attention of someone like Miraz bhai or someone...really, really fast!

Planning a free trip to Himayatpur in the same tour???...Tumi jobor chalu mamu...

[Kabir]

That's a great lead, thanks Dizzy.

I nominate Spitty...he'll definitely smack the s*** out of the BCB folks

Miraz bhai lives in England... unless he is in bangladesh at this moment...

Rabz might be a good choice too, but ATMR is the best...

[Dizzy]

Yeah, I forgot. He told me he lives in England.

[Dizzy]

Anybody!!!

[WarWolf]

I am interested to attend. But I think someone senior like Sohel_NR will be more effective. Sohel bhai are you around?

Sohel bhai is in Khulna with a project.

I think WarWolf bhai will be a good option. Specially, after having written that SL cricket structure article, you're already quite well known to the BCB folks.

[Nocturnal]

Great Initiative
Dhaka BC'ers: Sohel_NR bhai/ Rabz Bro/ thebest bhai/ WarWolf ?!!
they are all members by the way

[BANFAN]

Banglacricket staff like Eshen, cricman ?? I guess they are in Dhaka.

Won't probably be worth flying from UK/USA or anywhere. Coz most of these will be empty talks at the end and forgotten soon, as BCB will move as per their interests. But still why not try to attend and make some positive contribution.

[Miraz]

Dizzy, sorry didn't notice the thread earlier as I was away to attend a conference. I will send you a name within tomorrow.

[samjad]

I nominate myslef , just kidding. ATMR is my first choice

[Mahmood]

Super moderator Ahmed bhai is in Dhaka, also, administrator Arnab might be in Dhaka now.

[Tigers_eye]

Had it been Dec 20

Whoever goes, here is my point please address them with BCB. Or Dizzy you can put forward if no one have time.

1) Transparency. Be it on selection on national team, projects, funds etc.

2) Training. Coaching coaches.

3) Decentralize of power. Each board being their own entity. Be able to run their own facilities, budget, Junior program, Board A team program, senior program. Boards running their own school leagues. Having their own Physio (part-time), curator, coaches, weight room etc. I know this would take time but plans must be made ASAP.

4) National team issues: a) Video guy must be the most important strategist in the team. He is the one who would SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat). Before any practice he needs to make handout for every player. Who will they face and what their strength and weaknesses are? b) How to overcome that would come from the coaches. c) Locker room must look like a war preparation room (green room). Lighting fire with patriotic speeches is a must. The lack of effort on field can too easily be indentified.

5) My offer (to BCB) to a free risk, project, resource, strategic management seminar still stands. The way to contact me is easy. PM me here or email me at: mijanul.akbar at arkansasag.gov.

[Beamer]

Does DS have any Video Conferencing capability? If so, some of us can join from overseas.

[akabir77]

Can some one ask why captain/coach and management doesn't take care of the fallen players? what i mean by that is when a player is dropped does management talks with to find out what is needed from him to succeed and what they need to do make him in form?

It sounds like when a player is dropped now he is own his own to the coming back trail which shouldn't be the case.

[Zeeshan]

i nominate bania

[bujhee kom]

i totally think that sadi (warwolf) should be sent! he put a lot of effort and took the initial initiative to start the thread for starting a good dialogue with BCB!
go sadi go!
by the way dizzy bhai, would there be any possibility of good khawa-dawa/iftari food/chows from dailystar by any chance?
