"Bangladesh wins the world cup"
This may be my dream today
But should not be my son's;
And must not be my Grandson's!
These are the banners that some Bangladeshi cricket fans want the
Bangladesh Cricket Board to hang in the gallery for the benefit of
WorldTel cameras. The fans Farah Muneer, Farhana Kabir, Sifat Shahreen
and Ahsan Zaheer made this extraordinary request in a letter to Ahmed
Sajjadul Alam of the Media Centre of Wills International Cup. They
wrote they were compelled to do so because they could not get tickets
for any of the matches. Had they got the tickets, they would have hung
the banners themselves to show the world-wide TV audience their
aspiration for the cricket of Bangladesh, the touching letter
concluded.
