Unfortunately for the Bangladesh cricket team, it was after the match when the West Indian team was already on their bus back to the hotel. Chris Gayle was less than impressed when the bus was stoned by some angry locals, tweeting "This is some bullsh!t.....Bangladesh stoning our bus!!! Freaking glass Break!!! This is crap,can't believe..what next bullets!!!! Kiss teeth".
According to Bangladeshi police, it was a case of mistaken identity, and the stones were meant for the Bangladesh team bus. That would probably explain the lack of security, as no doubt the Bangladesh police force were of the opinion that their retired officers' side would have fared better in the disaster that passed for a cricket match. Bangladesh were bowled out for 58 in less than 20 overs, with the Windies needing little more than 12 overs to knock off the runs for the loss of one wicket. Only 3 batsmen reached double figures in a match that probably fell short of value for money. And people were disappointed with the Associates performance last week.
The other match today was marginally more competitive, although New Zealand didn't even lose the one wicket in running down with Zimbabwe with a third of their innings remaining.
