Here are my three guesses as to why BD batsmen don't take manysingles and two's.

1) I have a feeling the bd players are not fit enough to take singles and two's.
Running between the wickets require more energy and good fitness ability than hitting boundaries. Perhaps fitness is an issue with the batsmen that no one has realized, or they think they are fit even though they are not.

2) They are too lazy, so dont' want to run, so they just block or hit boundaries.

3) They don't know any better (i.e. coach needs to teach them or remind them about the importance of getting the scoreboard ticking with singles and two's).

Actually Khaled mashud used to be good at that, but he hasn't done that lately, he just blocks nowadays and scores 10 runs of 30 balls, then gets out.
