Bangladesh Handed Jamie Siddons Contract Extension

Performance of Bangladesh cricket team is pretty much impressive lately. Perhaps, this is the reason BCB (Bangladesh Cricket Board) has decided to extend the contract of national team’s Australian coach Jamie Siddons. Upon this extension, Siddons will now remain Bangladesh coach until 2011 world cup.

Jamie Siddons replaced fellow Australian Dev Wahtmore in November 2007. There were many who were skeptical about Siddons as Bangaldesh coach initially, but the Australian has proved that he has so far guided Bangladesh team pretty much successfully. By saying this, I am not indicating the recent performances of Bangladesh team. There are many who might think that Bangladesh has done very well recently and that is why, Siddons has been successful.

However, I think, Siddons is successful because of his man-management ability and the way he guided the team. Moreover, I am not overly delighted with Bangladesh’s recent victories those came against second category West Indies side and Zimbabwe.

Besides cricket, football is another most popular game in Bangladesh.

Many people in Bangladesh are fan of Argentina football team and they are now eagerly waiting for tonight’s world cup qualifying match between Argentina and Paraguay.
