Play well to be lucky, says Azhar Every time Indian cricket is in the doldrums, it looks up to the Bangabandhu Stadium in Dhaka as its renaissance point. Now that the wheel has come a full circle, they would again be looking up to the stadium for an Indian magic, even as they go into the crunch quarterfinal of the Wills ICC Mini-World Cup against Australia tomorrow. ``I know we have been winning here but that doesn't mean we only win because of the luck the stadium brings. You have to play well to be lucky,'' skipper Mohammad Azharuddin said.ICC coffers swell Bangladesh may be organising the Wills mini World Cup, but they have had to pay a very big price for that. Opposition parties are baying for the ouster of Sheikh Hasina's ruling government as they feel such expediture is not justified when the nation has been hit by the century's worst floods and the economy ruined. ``The night of the tournament's final (November 1) will be the darkest night in our nation's history as the hole in our economy will be bigger,'' said a note printed outside the Bangabandhu Stadium here. Satbir shines Punjab Police's Satbir Singh stole the limelight on the second day of the 47th All India Police Athletics Championships, creating a new national record in men's javelin at the Salt Lake Stadium in Calcutta.
