Well.. they got 13 legitimate (
)explanations for the 11-0 drubbing.
1.We underestimated them both a little bit," --we always thought we had a chance of beating,
2.but couldn't get in the winning rhythm(how the heck u get the winning rhythm if the much stronger opposition pummel & tharsh u all the time ) - a few times we should have finished them off."
3."It definitely wasn't expected," : "We went out there having had a three-month break from outdoor cricket, which they hadn't had.
4.We also had to adjust to getting up at half-six for a match starting at quarter to eight."
The list goes on...
5. "A change of team," adds Ali, "a lot of new players.
6.It spun a lot
7.and was hot.
8.We had injuries
9.and illnesses
10.- a lot of bad luck.
11.The pitches in Bangladesh are a lot different to English conditions( oops! they didn't know that bangladeshi pitch is different )
12.they (bangladeshies)had a lot more exposure to spin .
13. we learnt more by losing every game rather than winning. (--may be it was a much needed boost for their learning curve, hence they did it for the sake of Learning)
@ the end of the day their gain was ...Everyone's learnt how to live better as a team, & how to eat better."
Moeen ali is waiting to get bangladesh in the final -"We will definitely win it and play either Bangladesh or India in the final."
