Favorite game is cricket.

Patriotism is a delusional thing. According to him, better movies are made abroad than in Bangladesh. That's why we watch Hollywood-Bollywood movies instead of Bengali movies. Then none of us say "You have no patriotism!" We say that the quality of Bengali cinema needs to be improved. Netflix, why would I watch low quality movies if I can get better quality just by pressing Prime!

This argument is defeated when it comes to sports. Countries involve "name of the country", which is not the case with movies.

Personally, I have had the privilege of witnessing almost all the memorable innings of cricket from Brian Lara's 375 live. But I say one of the regrets of my life, in the 2003 World Cup, when Bangladesh vs. Kenya and India vs. Pakistan were playing simultaneously, I was watching Bangladesh's game! That's why I couldn't watch Sachin Tendulkar's beautiful innings of 98 runs off 75 balls, one of the best ODI innings in history! There is no end to this regret. But if Bangladesh won that match!

However, after seeing the T20 match on Bangladesh soil in the last one month, the feeling of involvement in the "name of the country" is no longer working. One day after watching the game in Mirpur ground, the next day when I see Bumrah's bowling, Root's batting, I think foreign movies are better than Bengali movies! Now this game looks boring! I believe, "Cricket is boring to watch" - I never thought that I would ever have to say this!

But if I were a neutral cricket lover, I would have wanted Bangladesh not to qualify for the T20 World Cup qualifiers in Oman. It will be a good lesson for those who prepare for the World Cup by playing thriller matches and not making it through the World Cup qualifiers by making such continuous pitches of 60-70-80-90 runs on home soil.
