It was painful to see: Whatmore

Disheartened Bangladesh coach Dav Whatmore admitted he found it hard to watch as his outclassed team suffered a 138-run mauling at the hands of the West Indies in the Champions Trophy here.

8220;I really thought we would put up a better showing. I found it painful to watch,8221; he said. 8220;We let the West Indies get too many runs after putting them in and then some batting indiscretions early in our innings handed it to them. 8221; In contrast to Whatmore, who took Sri Lanka to the 1996 World Cup, West Indian captain Brian Lara was a relieved man after the victory.
