200%Tiger · #1 June 19, 2004, 09:52 AM

Guys, show me one good cricket writer from Bangladesh......

abhs · #2 June 19, 2004, 09:55 AM

Did you not find any name here?

200%Tiger · #3 June 19, 2004, 09:59 AM

they are great but what I meant was a professional journalist..........I think this is an area where we are very poor

abhs · #4 June 19, 2004, 10:05 AM

A good article and professionalism may not be always interrelated....

Anyway, I like the writings of Rabeed Imam, the seniod sub-editor of the Daily star.

Here is a random article from Cricinfo

the lone ranger..................the rest are not half as good.................gotta meet the guy.........amader beshir bhag bhaijanrai shahittik.........no one is technical enough

This feature is excellent. But does he write match reports in a flowing style too or are they the traditional boring stuff?

abhs · #7 June 19, 2004, 10:29 AM

Just search by his name or the newspaper, you will get your answer.

Here is one more:

Bravo!

Also, don't forget Utpal Shuvro. He writes pretty good in Bangla. He is always there with the team also.

200%Tiger · #10 June 19, 2004, 04:06 PM

Yeah.........but this guy Imam is great with his English and from what little I've read of him....understands the game better than all the other reporters involved in cricket media........just my opinion....thanks abhs....didn't know such a jewel was in our midst

He is my favourite.Utpal started his career from Weekly Purnima.Then He joined Ajkerkagoj. After that Bhorerkagoj & now Prothom-alo.

Yes. Utpal Shuvro, the Sports Editor of the Prothom Alo, can also attract the readers very easily with his very simple approach. I like him too.

Here is an example from The Internt Edition of Prothom Alo on 03-06-2004:

He wrote a book also 10/12 years ago. I forgot the title of that book.

Rabeed is simply superb. In fact it was his articles in cricinfo during U-19 tournament in BD that made many people interested in BD cricket. In fact I became aware of banglacricket.com after I read his articles and then google searched the net for BD cricket.

Utpal Shubhro writes good Bangla. I love his pieces. Rabeed is probably in a different class altogether. His pieces are of good quality.

How can you be 200% tiger?
Do that make you -100% human?

Orpheus · #18 June 20, 2004, 03:08 AM

minus 100% human? How does that work?

<-- this can be labeled as 15% human 10% monkey 75% missing...

So would we call it -75% partially evolved chineese monkey?

I think this tiger has double the aggression....

or he will knows how to count to 200 ..

I am the one and only good cricket writer from Bangladesh.

Yeah, deal with it. Chew it. Ruminate it. Ponder over it until it reaches the deepest, darkest recess inside your ceribelum and sits firmly in a place from where not even billions of neuronic impulses will be able to budge it a nanometer.

BTW, I constantly need money to wow the world with my messianic cricketing insights. I accept paypal.

Dream on Anrab... DREAM ON!!!

Ok. Don't worry. If you are in love with her, then that is simply a joke for you to make you envious! (But Rabeed is truly .......)

Cheers!

200%Tiger · #23 June 21, 2004, 12:03 AM

Can't believe he's so young.............accomplished cricket writers are supposed to be aged veterans...aren't they? Now thanks to your photo he's gonna grow a female-fan base ... unprecedented for a cricket journalist!..........speaking of true love.....my 'Baghini (Tigres)' now wants his number......can you believe it!

Seriously.....wouldn't it be nice to get to know him a little better? he could be our glamour guy in the international media...could someone bring him over for chat with the forum?

Rabeed Imam does visit this site. He will be a happy and proud guy after reading all of your comments.
