Bangladesh like rest of the subcontinent admires and adorns cricket. It in many ways has surpassed soccer in terms of popularity .Everywhere you go people of all ages play some form of cricket. Even the madrasha student also tries to roll their hands over or smash balls all over the paddy land after cultivation in fancy cricket. For a country like Bangladesh winning matches in international arena was not very common phenomena. The fact that it white washed weakened West Indies in test matches and is well on the way to win the 3 match one day series with two straight wins and a match to spare is definitely a big boost. Irrespective of quality of opposition winning habit is what we required. Bangladesh did not write the scripts. Team playing with West Indies colour is West Indies National team. The big news is Bangladesh is winning and winning handsomely.

Tigers got taste of blood. They are basking in Caribbean sunshine. They already achieved the first test series win on foreign soil and are on the threshold of rewriting history. Two consecutive wins at beautiful Dominica Island ensured them victory in three match one day series. . Winning the first test series and first one day series abroad against one time tormentors of world cricket is no mean achievement although my cricket loving friends may have right ideas about foul play of West Indian cricket management. Dominica is a new venue .Bangladeshis is first visitors of Chinese government presented venue. This beautiful island will remember Royal Bengal tigers for ever.
