| [Dhaka Tribune] A student was killed at Hakimpur village under Dadpur union in Sadar upazila yesterday. The dear departed was identified as Jahid Hossain, 15, son of Mohiuddin. He was a student of Class 9 of Ramballavpur High School. Mosharof Hossain Tarafder, officer-in-charge of Sudharam model cop shoppe, quoting the locals and relatives said Jahid had been playing cricket with Mamun, son of Sahabuddin of the village and other local friends. At one stage, Mamun quarreled with Jahid over the game and beat him mercilessly with a cricket bat, leaving him unconscious. He died while he was being rushed to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital. Victim's father filed a case with the cop shoppe in this connection. |

| #3 Seems a shame to beat someone to death over a game where no one understand the rules anyway. |

| #2 Cricket had its origin as a joust- pitch a rock hard ball at a man holding a stick- see how he deals with it. Points for style. Now it's your turn, mate. Cop this. This attitude still enlivens the game. But Mamun should not have hit Jahid with the bat. That is frowned upon. He had to hit him with the ball, or not at all. |

| #1 And some people think full-contact sports like football are dangerous. |
