West Indies team bus stoned in Dhaka
Mirpur: The West Indies squad met a rude shock after beating Bangladesh in the World Cup on Friday when their team but was stoned by disappointed Bangladesh supporters as the they were leaving the ground after the match.
"A couple of fans threw stones, two hit the window and it just broke. No one was hurt and we are safe," said the West Indies team spokesman.
"The glass didn't shatter. It just broke," the spokesman continued. "They are back in the hotel."
West Indies opener Chris Gayle also tweeted from the bus, saying "Bangladesh stoning our bus!!! Freaking glass Break!!! This is crap, can't believe... what next, bullets!!!!
"This is ridiculous!!! Damn!!! W Cup with so many security an this happen!! Big Joke!!! Trust me, I'm not keen here!!!... players lay flat!!!"
The West Indies beat co-hosts Bangladesh by nine wickets but what must have angered the fans was the way the hosts kneeled down against the Windies attack that skittled them out for just 58.
This was Bangladesh's lowest total in ODIs and fourth lowest in the history of World Cup.
The home team was bundled out in only 18.5 overs to set up one of the easiest wins for the West Indies in recent times. Kemar Roach took 3/19, Darren Sammy 3/21 and left-arm spinner Suleiman Benn 4/18 to wrap up a spineless Bangladesh batting.
