I think cricket has a lot to do with luck. On some occassions teams get extremely lucky, like Kenya and they pull off a miraculous win. They toss a coin to decide whos going to bowl or bat first... thats when the luck begins in my opinion
So the outcome of a cricket match is based on that early decision in most cases... usually the chasing team loses.
Besides that, some players do not seem to perform well sometimes even though they have had a great series before a tournament begins. A prime example how the tables turn relatively quickly is the India vs New Zealand series in New Zealand prior to the last World Cup. India was thrashed but they emerged a strong team at the end of the World Cup. Look at Pakistan now, they were heavily hammered in the WC and now with many new faces they have a much improved team. Whomever is lucky will win
Its just that Bangladesh is a new comer to the scene of international cricket, so luck right now is not favouring us. It will take time thats all, but we must not feel that bad if we lose, everything takes time. You don't learn to run before you walk, and before that you crawl. So don't get too upset over some losses, even the big teams lose
