If you read Dav Whatmore's comments- he clearly doesn't see Bashar as the best batsmen in the team. He says that "statistically, he is our best batsman" but actually doesn't acknowledge the fact that he thinks of it that way!
But the blame should be shared by all 11 players. Bashar can be a poor batsmen, but what about the others? What about our "teen prodigy" Ashraful? Why is he batting with a gun-ho attitude? Doesn't he know that he's playing a test match and not chasing 50 runs from 5 overs in his favorite "goli"?
In the first innings we played 39 overs out of which 3 batsmen played 27 overs- what was the rest of the team doing?
Even I survived 9 overs the other day playing a league match, shouldn't i get selected?
