Recommended Posts

"The umpires were biased. We did not mind if we had been beaten legitimately. But this is pure robbery," Dhaka University student Mahmudul Hasan said after joining a protest march. "We protest these bad decisions. The ICC should review them," Hasan, a 21-year-old student of history, said. Another student Topu Roy, 22, held a placard that dubbed the ICC as the 'Indian Cricket Council', not International Cricket Council. "It was India's money that forced the ICC to work against us. So it's fair to call it Indian Cricket Council," he said. "Bangladesh is a victim of international conspiracy," another protester shouted, as live footage of the protests were broadcast live. Local police chief Saidul Haq said up to 300 protesters joined the march at the University. "They also burnt an effigy of the Pakistani umpire," he said. Facebook and Twitter were flooded with comments on the "biased" decisions although most also applauded the Tigers for their best ever World Cup performance.

When you get your a** handed down on a platter for 15 years by one team or other, you develop coping mechanism. This is the result of it. Even if they lose by 500 runs they will find some reasons to blame umpiring.
