[PICTURE] Bangladesh dressing room glass door broken in Colombo [Video footage inconclusive #63]

[good guy]

The ground staff at R. Premadasa Stadium has been requested to study the CCTV footage to find out who caused the damage in the Bangladesh dressing room during the final group game of the Nidahas Trophy tournament on Friday, Cricbuzz learns.

A window of the visitors' dressing room was found damaged after Bangladesh's tensed run chase against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh won the game by two wickets off the penultimate ball of the game to book a place in the final with India, but match referee Chris Broad could come down hard on a few players.

The ground staff had reported the damage to Broad, but were not sure who had done it. Broad then had asked the local officials to go through the CCTV footage to find out who had caused the damage.

Bangladesh required 12 runs off the last over and were contesting that the umpires failed to call a no ball when Isuru Udana bowled a second bouncer in the over to Mustafizur Rahman.

The ground staff is supposed to submit a report to the match referee before 12 noon on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the umpires also will study video footage of the closing stages of the game before deciding whether they should press charges against any player.

Now this is pathetic from Bangladesh if it's indeed done by any of the Bangladeshi players. Whoever is responsible should be punished severely.

 

[BlackShadow]

Disgraceful from Bangladesh. No other team in the world would act like such losers over a no-ball decision. Doesn't matter how competitive you are, there is a line you don't cross. Let's hope these guys get banned.

The image is splashed across Cricinfo aswell in their match report. Quite embarrassing if you're a Bangladeshi fan. There should be serious repurcussions for such barbaric behaviour.

If it's indeed done by a Bangladeshi player, BCB won't spare him. But sl has to first prove that a Bangladeshi player player did it. Usually Bangladeshi players r quite humble and don't get involved in doing such silly things.

 

[MMHS]

If it's indeed done by a BD player with the intention, players must be punished, and they'll be I am sure. Ashraful was a bigger hero in BD than most of current players - he is still playing in domestics and scoring runs, but never got the call. However, there should be proper investigation, in such intense moment, it might happen that unintentionally players might have crashed on the glass.

Ummm have you seen how cricketers from Bangladesh act . Like Mushfiqur posting pic of him being happy that West Indies beat India when they themselves replaced SA as the biggest chokers. They are anything but humble

 

[Chief Destroyer]

That's pretty poor if done deliberately.

 

[kingusama92]

I'm sorry but Bangladesh's team and its fans are the most childish people in cricket.

This is indefensible. Hope whoever is behind this is identified and punished appropriately.

One would have thought they have won some World Cup or Big tournament.. Whatever anyone says the BD team has brought life into a totally useless tournament.. No one would have cared about this tournament but now people will remember it for years and use it to insult BD fans/team on online forums like these for many years to come..

Bangladesh are desperate to win some tournament. Whenever they come close someone sweeps the carpet from beneath them When and if they do eventually win even a small tournament the whole country will go beserk

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

This is extremely pathetic. Don't know if I should laugh or should be sad. It shows the minnow mentality of the players and won't do them any favours amongst fans in and outside of Bangladesh. An emerging side could do with alot of goodwill and this isn't helping them.

 

[shane]

It could have been done by anyone really, including an angry Sri Lankan fan after the game. But whoever it was - even if it was a player - should be criminally charged for causing damage to property.

Didn't you see how so many Bangla posters appeared from nowhwere last night for beating the depleted Lanka?

The match referee is Chris broad so if there is slightest chances of deliberate occurrence from BD players there will be hefty punishment. Or it could be as usual BD bashing for little thing.

I m almost 90 percent sure that it was an accident.

Do not believe any of these manipulative reports. It is done by a Sri Lankan who just got a beating of their life time .

You go mahmudullah !!!

The likely hood of glass door shattering from accidents amid celebration ..running in out .. is a lot higher than anything else .

If it was intentional there would be lot of other damages ...


These are manipulative pictures to take away from what we did twice in a row ..showing srilanka we are the superior team ..

Video footage of dressing room damage inconclusive

The ground staff at R. Premadasa Stadium have reported to Match Referee Chris Broad that the CCTV footage doesn't give any indications as to who caused damage to the visitors' dressing room door during the tense last group game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on Friday night (March 16) in Colombo.

The ground management had been instructed by Broad to go through the video footage and report back to him. On Saturday morning, he was informed that CCTV cameras do not penetrate into the dressing room to find out exactly what took place.

There were eyewitnesses (dressing room attendants) who suggested that a senior Bangladeshi player had pushed the glass door forcefully causing the damage but the Match Referee refused to take a third party's version into account and wanted the venue officials to make the claim. Since none of the officials had seen the incident, they declined to name any player.

Cricbuzz can confirm that the incident happened immediately after the winning six was scored by Mahmudullah Riyad and not afterwards during the celebrations.

Friday's game was a virtual semi-final and needing 12 runs off the last over, the tourists won by two wickets off the penultimate ball of the game.

During the dramatic final over, there were ugly scenes as players argued with umpires and with each other. Officials are going through the footage of the last stages of the game to determine whether they could charge any player.

Isuru Udana's first ball of the last over to Mustafizur Rahman was a bouncer and there was an appeal for caught behind as well. Umpire Ravindra Wimalasiri turned down the appeal and Sri Lanka opted to review. Amidst the tension and drama, Wimalasiri failed to indicate 'one for the over'. Since the umpire had not signalled, Udana followed it up with another bouncer. As per ICC rules, only one bouncer per over is allowed.

"I think the head umpire didn't call it (one bouncer for the over) so it's a legal delivery," Kusal Janith Perera, who top scored for Sri Lanka with 61 runs told journalists at post match media briefing.

Mustafizur didn't make contact with the second bouncer but attempted a single and was run out at the non-striker's end. At this point, Mahmudullah Riyad protested that the leg-umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge had called a no ball, but later the umpires had withdrawn the call.

"I don't want to talk about it, but what happened was that the square-leg umpire called a no-ball and after a discussion they cancelled it. I didn't think it was the right decision," Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan told during the post match media briefing.

With the no-ball not being called, Shakib indicated to his players to return to the dressing room. The batsmen marched towards the boundary but sensibly were sent back by Bangladesh Manager Khaled Mahmud and the game resumed.

The tournament has gone on smoothly without any incidents until the final group game, but with a spot in the final at play, the teams and players perhaps refused to toe the line. The Bangladesh captain himself could get into trouble for his behaviour but Cricbuzz learns that with the mistake the umpires made causing all the chaos, the officials could soften their stance.

Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis and reserve player Dhananjaya de Silva too got involved in heated altercations with the opposition players and could face some charges.

During their last game against Bangladesh, Sri Lankan players were handed hefty fines and captain Dinesh Chandimal was handed a two match suspension for a serious slow over rate offence. The hosts were at fault again on Friday as they took 101 minutes to finish their overs, which is 16 minutes more than what is allowed in a T20 International.

Forcefully push the glass window? What an accusation LoL

If someone did that he would get severely injured

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Bangladesh has suffered many humiliating defeats and no one thought to break anything at that time. And you can't break a glass window with your body without getting severe lacerations.

It was probably an angry fan throwing something especially after the fracas that occured minutes earlier.

 

[RainMan_]

See? Bangladeshi players r innocent. I have been saying it from the very beginning that even though sometimes our players act a bit childishly on the field, they r a humble bunch.


Either it was an accident or some angry sl supporter intentionally did it to vent out his frustration for losing a close game against Bangladesh. Anyway, it's great to see that our boys weren't involved in it. All my friends here who accused our innocent and down to earth players without a sherd of proof should come to this thread and apologise!!

Yes, the match referee who was in the ground, who had access to all the video footages, who had the right to interrogate all the suspected players haven't found any of the Bangladeshi players as guilty but one of my dear PP friends named BreadPakoda, who's also known as sherlock holmes have magically identified the real culprit by using his imaginative mind and telling us '' the babgladeshi fans'' to self introspect......

No one is defending the guilty here - you may read the posts from above.

You need to grow up and try to learn humility - just accept that, you shouldn't have put such strong words without knowing the details. This is blog and your post is recorded at #50 - read it again this way - Shakib stormed into dressing room with a bat "immediately after wining the game" - should tell everything. Come with evidence for your 91% confidence level or don't troll around to save face. One apparent eye witness telling that a Sr. BD player "Pushed" the door forcefully, and you are equating 2+2=4, because Shakib had a bat at hand.

Victim mentality is my foot - go and explain your nonsense equation to match referee. I am not surprised at all that you came here to post again.

You have to clear your anti bd mind as you are claiming bd's fault without any solid proof...as the match referee declare that bd players are innocent on breaking glass incident then why you are pushing it but not accepting the match referee's report???!!! Wash your mind.
And by the way we Bangladesh would want more punishment of bd players than you if they were found guilty by match referee's report. We did wanted punishment of shakib and nurul for their misbehave in the field as it has proof. How on earth you can accuse bd players for breaking glass without any proof!!;?? and the referee also denied that. So wash your mind and be reasonable and respect the match referee's report and calm down.

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Unprofessional approach; lenient punishment

Colombo, Mar 17: Bangladesh Cricket Board president (Nazmul Hasan Papon) has admitted that the behavior of the captain and few members of his team was totally unprofessional.

In an exclusive chat with this reporter, he said, "the players approach during the final over of the match (against Sri Lanka in the Nidahas Trophy at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday) was not professional at all and they did not behave properly".

The Bangladeshi players including a substitute were seen arguing with the umpire's call on a no ball decision, which was immediately reversed by the umpire. The players had not only heated arguments with the umpires but also with the Sri Lankan team members and at one stage, their captain Shakib Al Hasan was seen asking his players to return to the pavilion.

Both captain and the substitute player (Nurul Hasan Sohan) have been fined (25 percent of match fee and received one demerit point).

"At present we are not taking any decision whether further action would be taken by the BCB but once we go home (after Sunday's final), they will be called for the explanation", the BCB chief said.

"Very disappointing to see the negative reactions of the Bangladeshi players", Thilanga Sumathipala, the president of the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) board said exclusively.

"The image and reputation of the game could suffer if ICC takes a very lenient attitude for such bad behavior by them on the officials", he added further.

Shakib, when approached, appealed to forget the incident. "Let it remain as it is...We don't wan to discuss the same again and again".

He also refused to say on who did damage to their dressing room and whether the team management would now bear the cost.

Interestingly, the BCB president has announced a reward of Tk. 1 crore (USD : 120600 approx) for the win against Sri Lanka.

"It will be distributed among all team members and the support staff", the chief said.
It is a million dollar question whether was this the right time (when his team was embroiled in the controversy) to announce the prize money.

"It is for the team's performance and they made it to the final. If they again win against India, the prize money would be further increased", the BCB boss added.

The Indian team members didn't watch the entire match on TV. They were invited by the Taj Hotel management for a dinner, which was also attended by the high level dignitaries.
Few more BCB directors have arrived in Colombo for Sunday's match.

[Itachi]

It may not be inconclusive but since this incident is ugly publicity for cricket, it may brushed aside since the financial loss is miniscule compared to what it may bring if went public. Just a speculation though.

But, everyone will indeed point to Bangladesh because they have a trend of childish in their behavior.

If you are a troublesome kid in school, whenever any mischief happens, the first finger will be pointed at you.

Thats why one should behave like a professional and mature person. Because only by that, you gain credibility.

This happened during the 2016 World T20 in India. I'm sure you remember that Bangladesh had an epic choke in their game versus us (with Mushfiqur and Mahmuddulah at the helm). In particular, Mushfiqur started celebrating before the end of the game and was lambasted for that from Raina among others.

Fast foward to the semi-finals when West Indies beat us fair and square and this is what he posted. Immature to put it mildly, downright sour grapes and thick to state it as a fact.

It may not be inconclusive but since this incident is ugly publicity for cricket, it may brushed aside since the financial loss is miniscule compared to what it may bring if went public. Just a speculation though

What do u think would happen if couple of Bangladeshi players were indeed declared as culprits by match referee? Nothing. Would it be uglier than a doping or fixing scandal? ICC in the past didn't brush aside way more uglier incident than this. Why would they brush aside such a petty issue? But as u rightly said, it’s just ur speculation, nothing else.

But, everyone will indeed point to Bangladesh because they have a trend of childish in their behavior.

Just because u think something as childish behavior doesn't necessarily make it a childish behavior. Visit the below link to know which particular cricketer is considered as an obnoxious child by other international players.

If you are a troublesome kid in school, whenever any mischief happens, the first finger will be pointed at you.
Thats why one should behave like a professional and mature person. Because only by that, you gain credibility.

Most of our players r humble, down to earth type who carry themselves with dignity on the cricket field and know how to behave like a professional mature sportsman unlike the particular player i mentioned in my previous point. Thx for ur concern. They already have gained enough credibility.

Why dragging King Kohli 2 to cover up own guys behaviour, Kohli has mastered art of not crossing imaginary line invented by Ozzie's.

Some Tom, Dick and Harris comment doesn't prove anything, shows SA's victim mentality after brat KG got booked for repeated offence


Note: Only 2 guys fined after all the drama, both were from BD


There was no evidence on dressing room incident, can't conclude who's fault.. fair enough. Law will need evidence to convict the culprit!

SL chief has condemned the BD players behaviour, BCB too done the same and will do own enquiry after the final.
SLCB has requested BCB to pay the damages done to the dressing room ... Point made by SLCB

About 70 posts in no time to bash Bangladesh (not players only unfortunately) when the pictures first came in. Since the clarification post, only a very few - that too with a different tune.....

Apology accepted guys, no hard feelings - move on. Wishing a close game & be the better team on the day wins.
