Do you use the picture of Mustafizur as you profile pic on Facebook too? Might think you're actually him.

(Because obviously all international cricketers use their cricinfo portraits on social media :ph34r:)

If he was doing it as a protest against the umpires, they should have just stopped calling the wides/no-balls to annoy them further :ph34r:

Also, do I see Mustafizur Rahman opening the batting?

I really don't get the line of thinking here. You think the umpiring is screwing you, so you screw yourself over?

Can you imagine the motivational speech in the dressing room between innings.

Coach: "Alright boys, we're up against it. We got just 91 to defend and the umpires are in their pocket. But you know what, it's time like this where men show their real character. Its time like this when the greats rise to the occasion. Because it doesn't matter what do when everything is going your way, it's about what you do when things aren't. It's about how you face adversity and confront it head on. When hope starts to fade is when the fire inside you should burn brightest. We aren't going to lie down and let them walk all over us. No. We're going to stand up, we're going to be loud, aggressive, in their face, and give them all we got!!

Players: YEA!

Coach: Sujon - take the new ball, and bowl every single delivery off the pitch

Players: Wait, what?

Coach: We're going to protest this by throwing the game. LIKE REAL MEN DO.


Seriously so weird.

Yeah, it is kinda weird, but with young players I can sort of see them acting in that sort of petty/irrational way in response to a perceived great injustice (even if the umpires were deliberately screwing them, people a great at blowing this sort of thing out of proportion). Can also imagine the coach supporting/advocating/suggesting such an approach or at least being somewhat apathetic and just letting the players do it, just because their maybe not the greatest coach.

So yeah, it's weird and unlikely, but plausible imo.
