Tigers sound satisfied!

Sports Reporter
No matter how frustrated one became by watching the Tigers in New Zealand, captain Mohammad Ashraful believed that they did not return home empty-handed.
There was a mood like that of a winning team back home after a successful series at the Zia International Airport lounge and the feeling was reflected when skipper Ashraful and his deputy Mashrafe Bin Mortaza talked to the reporters about the outcome of the Tiger's second trip to New Zealand.
Coach Jamie Siddons was not accompanying the team that were whitewashed in the three-match one-day and two-match Test series
(both inside three days) against the BlackCaps.
"There were a lot of positives in the series and there were also signs of improvement from what we did six years ago," was Ashraful's on-arrival reaction.
"The most encouraging part of this tour was our two new openers (Tamim Iqbal and Zunaed Siddiqui) and our bowling was also good, especially Mashrafe (Bin Mortaza) and Rajib (Shahadat Hossain). We might not have put too much runs onthe board but our top-order batsmen's approach, off the first 15 balls, was really nice," he added.
But the Bangladesh skipper was quick to say that they need time to adjust with the new training method that they have been under since their Sri Lanka tour last year.
"You know we have been training in a different way since the last Sri Lanka tour and Jamie Siddons also put a lot of new things in our training and you have to show the patience to get the results from it," he said.
This trend of pointing fingers at new training methods whenever there is a change of coaching staff has continued and when queried, Ashraful said that they were getting acquainted and will be ready soon.
He said: "I think it will not take too much this time and hopefully, we start to get the results from our next assignment against South Africa at home."
The question was also raised about selection as the team management's decisions to send Tushar Imran home after the ODI senes and ignoring Rajin Saien throughout his stay were not clear Ashraful had time and again said in previous occasions that there has to be a grafter in the middle-order; like Rajin.
"We did what we thought was best," he simply replied.
Vice-captain Mashrafe was at the receiving end of the most unpleasant question: Whether or not they care about losing.
"What can I say, a cricketer should enjoy the game whether they win or lose," said the Narail Express.
It was however a real test for Tamim Iqbal who not only impressed in the one-day series but also proved the critics wrong on hisTest cricket temperament.
"My captain inspired me most as he always told me not to be satisfied after playing one or two good innings. I always try to play my natural game but definitely avoided from playing risky shots in the Tests," said the Chittagonian opener.
Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu, who along with chief executive officer Malimudur Rahman were present at the airport, informed that the national camp is likely to start from February 1 for the upcoming home series against South Africa, who are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on February 14.
