Bangladesh have finally buried the hatchet with West Indies batting great Gordon Greenidge -- nearly two decades after unceremoniously sacking him as head coach in the middle of the 1999 World Cup. The Bangladesh Cricket Board hosted a reception for Greenidge late Monday in Dhaka, reuniting the coach with his former players and the executives who dumped him. Greenidge led Bangladesh to the ICC Trophy title in Malaysia in 1997, and also steered the cricket minnows to their first World Cup. I would have liked to spend more time with Bangladesh cricket, but it wasn't to be. In a goodwill gesture, Bangladesh cricket officials donated 500,000 taka ($6,100) to a school Greenidge founded in his native Barbados.
