The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bengal-c771 Tigers carve their teeth in International Cricket
It seems like a fairy tale, but what the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 team achieved in the recently concluded home series against New Zealand is nothing less than a fairytale. This achievement is perhaps the biggest success for the Bangladesh side
since getting permanent Test status in 2000.
Ever since becoming a test playing nation, Bangladesh has been criticized for not achieving any major feats, and the victories that they achieved were short lived, causing ICC to rethink of its decision.
However, after the recent 4-0 thrashing of New Zealand Bangladesh have proved that their triumphs are not flukes. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 on the other hand are left in a state of panic with the World Cup just around the corner, and getting
beaten by the weakest One day side makes the Kiwi management ponder; where to go from here .
Nonetheless, not to take anything away from the Bengali tigers, they did work hard and in every match of the series they proved that they deserved to win.
For over a decade the Bangladesh government has been investing heavily in its cricket setup and finally the efforts have paid off. To say the least, the induction of foreign coach Jamie Siddons has worked wonders for Bangladesh.
Bangladesh revamped their training routines drastically, with the coach banging on pure hard work instead of other routines; the players were training from 8am till 4pm, which is a totally new practice by the Bangladesh side.
Coach Siddons was not afraid to put the young players through tough routines during the practice sessions. A new fielding coach Julian Fountain was also hired who improved their fielding techniques to a great level.
Now that the series is over and perhaps it will be remembered by Bangladesh and the rest of the world for a long period to come, it is time for the players to get all the attention they can. This young talented Bangladeshi side
is considered heroes in the country right now.
The players are now being showered with all sorts of perks they could have ever wished for, with plots, cars and a handsome amount of money being presented to them by the government as well as other private sectors.
These young boys have every right to celebrate but once the clouds of victory settle down, the Bangladesh side needs to carry on their winning streak to solidify their name in the world of cricket.
