Mattaya or Mattau or Mottau?!

Come on! This is really unprofessional of our journalists. Mr. Owen Matta.. has been in the Bangladeshi cricket scene for a while now. How come we still have so many versions of his last name floating around in our national dailies. Surely someone could go up the gentleman and inquire politely about how to spell his last name. I am sure he will appreciate it, as much as we would.

Anyways, best of luck to him. Hopefully we will see favourable results in the upcoming series.

u are right pompous. Bangladeshi journalist should take serous notice about these people. They are involve in the devlopment of bangladeshi cricket, surely they don't deserve it. Anyway, Mottau edition of Matta is really funny though

Motta+u=Mottau
