Babarey baba, we just started to play intl. cricket. we are Minnows. We will concede odd records that is the norm.
So you want ugly records within the last 4-5 years? Shall I start? Try me. I will start with Aus not able to defend 400+ runs.

This is exactly why players ilke Gellispie makes 200 in a test where as none of our top order batsmen ever made one.

The problem is you are hurting too much from that catch misses of Rasel and Riyad. I think Mash's catch miss should hurt you more than those two. Here BD won, there BD let go history. Gilliespie's 200 wouldn't matter then had Mash hold on to that catch. Heck if scored 300 that wouldn't have mattered.
Just look at the bright side. How much room for improvement we have in fielding. Surely we will compete in near future.
