I think selectors did a mistakes not taking another spinner in the team. There should be 3 spinners.
Well many of our other batsmen failed too, including the so-called "top order". So I wouldn't particularly blame him for the 1st innings batting failure. The thing that impresses me the most about this guy is his temperament. Like Pilot, he has this fighting spirit. He values his wicket, and has played some valuable innings in the tests. Let's just hope he doesn't turn out to be another Kapali.
i cant agree with u more. U are right in saying he values his wicket. Rana and mashud bat soemtimes, like its life and death, they have this grit about them and determination, look at the how many balls they face for makin 30 runs, sometimes in the 100s. If more of our players had this, say kapali, they would not just improve but get the respect from fans as well .
