Bangladesh mocks at India's cash-rich cricketers
Indian cricketers know money - not cricket any more! They invest, pose for Bollywood - rarely play real cricket - shame on Dravid and Indian cricket team!
A day after its heady triumph, Bangladesh mocked at India's "cash-rich cricketers" and the cricketing authorities for making cricket "a product, not sport."
Behind Dhaka's mood, turning somewhat self-righteous is the fact that India is the only cricketing nation that has never invited Bangladeshi team for a Test series "because we are not considered financially viable."
"India sees cricket as business but Bangladesh knows and plays cricket as a sport. The only country that has not invited Bangladesh to play a Test series is India, just because Bangladesh is not financially viable as a team. Now, India has to understand that cricket is a game and not a commercial apple!" wrote Tareq Mahmood in Prathom Alo newspaper.
"The win can be an upset, but if you can forecast a win, is it still an upset?" the newspaper quipped in its lead story on Sunday.
For Bangladesh, the victory was "a protest for considering cricket as a product, and not a sport," the newspaper said.
