Tushar hasn't been getting runs and you can call for his dumping from the team, but lets not blame him for something that hasn't happened. He hasn't triggered any collapse, let alone always! A collaps means once you fall, 2 or 3 wickets fall right after you. In the three innings that he batted at number 3, his wicket was followed by partnerships of 130, 125 and 90!! So no, he doesn't
"always" trigger the collapse!
As for Abir, he looks good off his feet and he looks good cutting at balls angling away from him, like all left handers. He also played one or two nice drives straight down the ground for a single or two. But, he still needs to tighten up his technique outside the off-stump. He has this really lame drive through extra-cover at balls pitching on his off-stump and angling away from him, that he played quite a few times against England and quite a few times today as well. You feel that the best that will happen if he makes contact with those balls is a catch to the slips. If you are going to drive, get your foot to the pitch of the ball and drive firmly, don't play these half-hearted drives like a tail-ender might!
