31. Fan’s
Before Bangladesh had even secured Test status,
cricket fans in the country took the game seriously;
when the team lost an ODI against Kenya in March 1999
several hundred fans protested outside the offices of the
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
On learning of Bangladesh's promotion to Test status,
thousands of people celebrated on the streets.
When Bangladesh began its first Test match on 10
November 2000 at Bangabandhu National Stadium in
Dhaka, the stadium was nearly full on the first day as
around 40,000 people watched the team take on India.
31
32. When Bangladesh are victorious, the fans
sometimes take to the streets in celebration.
When Bangladesh defeated South Africa in the
2007 World Cup, thousands of people celebrated
into the night on the streets of Dhaka despite there
being a ban on public gatherings at the time.
During the 2011 World Cup, Bangladesh
succumbed to a record defeat against West Indies,
registering the team's lowest score in ODIs. The
buses of both teams were stoned (Bangladesh's
intentionally, West Indies' mistakenly), as was
Shakib Al Hasan's house.
32
33. Recommendation
Bangladesh cricket team need to do
hard work
Should focus in their method of playing
Should not loose temper during match
Need to learn from their mistakes
33
34. Need to concentrate on their repeated
mistakes
More team work
The upcoming youngsters need to do more
hard work
These youngsters need to be guided
properly
34
35. Need to practice more and more
Need to play more international cricket
More domestic cricket should be
arranged
35
36. Conclusion
It has been showed that Bangladesh Cricket
Team is improving their selves day by day.
From 1977 to right now they are trying to
develop their technique to play and also to
work on their lacking.
What they need right now is our full support. If
we stay beside them when they lose any
tournament it will make them confident to do
well in the next match. We hope that one day
our country can win the World Cup if they
improve their weakness.
