Bangladesh seek to reverse result of Asia Cup final

[Clarke]

Bangladesh will ask the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to review an incident in the final over of the Asia Cup final against Pakistan on Thursday which they believe cost them the game. Pakistan won by two runs after Bangladesh could score six runs only from the final over bowled by Aizaz Cheema. Enayet Hossain Siraj, chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) cricket operations committee, told reporters on Saturday that Cheema had deliberately blocked batsman Mahmudullah in the final over. He said the BCB would demand five penalty runs which if granted could force the ACA to reverse the result. "We have seen video footage of the incident repeatedly. It is clear that Cheema blocked Mahmudullah deliberately," Siraj said. "We will lodge a written appeal to the ACC very soon and will also give a copy to the International Cricket Council." http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/03/24/cricket-asia-idUKB14140520120324 :WTF:

:facepalm: my word, the desperation is palpable... Should just let it go, take the positives of which there are many and concentrate on the next high profile tournament.

Hope the result gets reversed :aha:

Sale. Looks like they feel as if they lost a major tourney or test series. They lost fair and square and should go back to catching machi.

They won my respect in this tournament but that has all evaporated by this move. Just seeks of desperation. Bad losers.

The BCCI is obviously behind it. And so is Tendulkar. Both egged on the BCB officials to file a complaint :giggle:

You're watching too much commentary from Athar "My Word" Ali Khan. He's enough on TV we don't need him on ICF. Just saying! :icflove:

Talked to a few Bangladeshi friends and they're all ashamed at the step taken by their Board.. Our Cricket boards ought to understand their actions indirectly represent that of the nation. Reminds me of the stupidity displayed by Big Butts after the Lords fiasco:facepalm:
