Slow and steady


Bangladesh, the newest Test babe, has been recently playing against Australia. Though we lost the first test, our bowlers' performance were promising. In the second Test our batsmen like Hannan, Omar and Shumon showed their ability to do well against worlds best pace trio which includes Lee, Mcgrath and Gillespie. We have quality players but our prime lack is that we can't play on the field as a team. I think our team performance will get better in course of time. Bangladesh's newly appointed coach Dev Whatmore, who has vast experience, can do a lot about this problem along with the BCCI. My pro- posal is to give sufficient time to Dev -- not less than five years. Because the expected result can not come in a day. We should always remember that 'slow and steady wins the race'.
