That is why HB, Pilot, Sujon or Rafiq rarely react with fan's comment compare with Mash or Ash.
Miraz vai, another great article. But I would have appreciate if you just did not mention about the P2P on game. Who knows banglacricket would be now would be in Radar.
exactly,

plus you have to realize the unreasonableness of the people of modern era filled with impatience and unrealistic expectation, echoed throughout the international media and especially in the local media, sometimes Bangladesh is 'raised' above the bar, sometimes we are not. it is not the players fault that they are frustrated and are unwilling to comment after a depressing loss because they know deep within their hearts that they failed and they want to keep respect for themselves.

the ICC era was an era of complete appreciation of Bangladesh Cricket with relatively low expectation because we fans accepted the fact that we are not simply there yet, but today we still know we are not simply there yet, but we force this belief in ourselves that we are there... and put burden on our players thus they underperform...

although we should not take credit away from our players for each drop of sweat they put into hte field just for entertainment and national pride, it takes character.
