2 topics: Sujon and Gordon
Sujon:
Pilot has defended his action of taking only 2 pacers by telling that inclusion of 3 pacers would decrease the batting depth.
But actually, if we had Sujon in the 14 man squad, then our batting depth would not have been decreased even after taking 3 seamers. So, the main problem was in the selection.
Also, the 11 man team was announced the day before the match - and at night as there was rain, so the conditions became different in the morning of the match day. In this case, our new selectors have failed to capitalize on the advantage of being a home side - by announcing the team too early.
This is why, our team always need to be a balanced side - no matter whatever the condition is.
Gordon:
At least 2 bengali newspapers, namely Janakantha and Prothom Alo have reported on Greenidge. They said that during and after Bangladesh's first two world cup match against New Zealand and West Indies, Saber Hossain and other board members used to move around along with the players including going into the players' dressing room.
Which left the players uncomfortable and the players told about this to the then coach Gordon Greenidge. Greenidge told about this to Saber Hossain and they had a meeting of some sort in front of the players.
In which meeting Saber Hossain asked to the players himself in the presence of Greenidge whether the players have any problem or not.
One senior player answered that they don't have any such problem.
Does anybody in this board remembers what was the name of this player?
I can't seem to remember about who it was and I can't also find it out until now.
