Well done Tigers, you played against 14 Indian players
Wrong decisions on Raina’s LBW, the no–ball for Sharma’s catch and Mahmudullah’s six upset millions of Tiger fans.

ISIS, other extremists and reaction of common Muslims
The recent rise of ISIS or ISIL in Iraq and it’s outrageous advancement towards establishing another Islamic state has concerned me in Bangladesh much because of the extent of violent attacks and their plans and methods.
