Bangladeshi cricketers try to hide their incompetence and greed under fake outrage
We always felt it. We always thought about it but never really entertained the idea for long. But now the proof is in the pudding.
11 national cricketers prefer MORE MONEY than the honour of playing national cricket for Bangladesh. While this is understandable for cricketers like Bashar who are past their prime. But for cricketers like Aftab, Nafis etc, its a position of clearly choosing money over national interest. They are perhaps counting on the fact that Bangladesh cricket team needs them badly and once the money comes to them to roost, they will simple play a year of IPL and return to Dhaka and ask for clemency. However, I was willing to give them a benefit of doubt thinking this was an economic decision for some who came mostly for poor family. In that case, let’s call spade a spade and say it that they did it for money. But no.
Here is the bone chilling outrageous bit about their decision. After doing this for money, these non performers have apparently blamed the system for their decision. Take a look at the once thought of as potential skipper Shahriar Nafees’ statement:
Opener Shahriar Nafees was equally disgruntled and said he would spill the beans soon and explain his premature retirement.
“There was a lot of anger, frustration and complaint behind this decision. I will reveal all of this in due course of time because I am no longer part of the code of conduct.
Before you get fooled by his fake ‘anger, frustration and complaint’, let’s take a look at how he performed in the last couple of years against test playing countries.
9, 9.33, 14, 19, 5.16, 26 — are just the averages from past 7 One Day International Series. Its his supreme good luck that he was still picked in the team with that series of scores which makes Harbhajan Singh look like Sunil Gavaskar.
Ban these good for nothing cricketers. Ban them for good.
Coach Siddons has his work cut out. Its much easier to build a fresh team than change a bunch of money hungry, lazy jokers who would rather do fake complaints against a ’system’ than take responsibility for their own non performance and incompetence. Those who know the inside stories of some of these cricketers, know how little it means to them to play for their country.
Good riddance!
To the folks at ICL, whoever suggested these guys as a draw, is a bad adviser. This has bad investment written all over it.
