Ashraful, Bangladesh captain laments the lack of the third seamer in the team and believes that the batsmen are doing well. Well this seems a prepared talk for the award ceremonies

Hashmu na kandmu? Kisu bujhtesi na. Batsmen are doing well. Modon ar kare koy.

The harsh truth

The fact that the tenth wicket was the highest partnership in the innings speaks volumes about the miserable batting performance by Bangladesh. The sad part in all this is this capitulation is not the first time. Time and time again we have seen the batsmen throw their wicket away before getting accustomed to the wicket. No one remembers the last time Bangladesh ran a test playing nation close. Whats more saddening is that the batsmen dont seem to mend their ways, which always puts the bowlers performances into the background.

Something needs to be done about the way Bangladesh cricket or else it would be all downhill from here
