3-0 feels better: Mushfiqur

Sports Reporter
Both vanquished New Zealand and victors Bangladesh did their best to play the volley of questions about the latter's 4-0 victory in 2010 with a dead bat till yesterday's completion of a second successive whitewash, but with it came the opening of a floodgate of relief from Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim.
Cricketers are a superstitious breed, which is perhaps why Mushfiqur kept silent about the possibility of a repeat of 2010 - he was wary of jinxing a good thing. And the jinx almost took effect with New Zealand scoring 307 after being put in to bat, but Bangladesh proved capable of besting the Kiwis yet again.
“We were hearing 'Banglawash! Banglawash!' from the start so 1 was a bit concerned about it, but definitely, we hoped to win the series if we played to our potential. Whether
3-0 or not, it's not easy to lead the side, but they have matured and are gathering experience. The way (Shamsur Rahman) Shuvo played today, from next time if he chases 300 he will know what to do and help someone else," said Mushfiqur.
The admirable trend of finding faults even in victory continued, but the dominant sentiment yesterday was of relief that a special feat had been achieved. "We were not up to the mark because we didn't bat 50 overs in the last two ODIs. So from there, one of our goals was that at least the top 8 batsmen bat well in today's game. So at the interval I just said one thing, if our
top eight batsmen play the 50 overs we can definitely win this game," Mushfiqur explained a plan well-executed.
Mushfiqur was full of praise for the volume of performers in the side, especially with the absence of Shakib AL Hasan. Naeem Islam made a comeback to fill the place vacated by Shakib and top-scored in the series with 163 runs, including two crucial half-centuries. "Definitely, the performers have increased. Nasir (Hossain) didn't score in the last two games, but we have been saying for the last two days that he is a big-match player. Even Naeem (Islam) Bhai - he was not supposed to play if Shakib had been available. So I feel that everyone has matured a lot,” said the diminutive skipper who was declared man of the series because of his batting, keeping and captaincy.
It is impossible not to think of
the 4-0 whitewash in 2010 as that started Bangladesh's rise as an ODI unit while this result - against the same team -- confirmed it. Even stand-in Kiwi skipper Kyle Mills said that they carried those scars into this series. "Both achievements were different experiences. But personally, the 3-0 win feels better for me. For one, I am the captain now and that (2010) result you can achieve with a lot of hard work, but to hold on to that result is even more difficult. Our best performers were not there in this team, so I feel this series win is doubly important. It's really amazing and proof that Bangladesh cricket is improving," he said.
Hard work is his and the team's mantra, and the Tigers have recently acquired an insatiable appetite for improvement. "I hope we can continue like this. That is the biggest challenge - it's difficult but if we have the mentality we can do it."
