We are with Tigers even in defeat

In the Super Ten of T-20 World Cup, the Tigers paled against their opposition, West Indies. We think the Tigers have stopped enjoying the game. So, their natural game is not flourishing. For once the Tigers need to forget about victory or defeat and just play and enjoy their natural game. Pressure should be on their more illustrated opponents as Bangladesh has nothing to lose against those cricketing super-powers.

It seems the memory of defeat against Hong Kong and Afghanistan is still haunting our cricketers. Cricket is a game and defeat can happen in any game. So, there is no use of remembering all these nightmares.

The Bangladeshi cricket fans will always be with the Tigers no matter what happens. I can see the Tigers losing a game but I can't see them being blank and totally lost in the wilderness. I believe we have no dearth of talents. They only need some inspiration and a bit of self-confidence. Our true strength is not lying in winning but how we bounce back after a defeat.

I request all the fans of Bangladeshi cricket to show their unconditioned love and support for our team as they need it now the most.
