[al Furqaan]

after many a loss we've tried to gather the positives (if any)...well its not often, but we can look at the negatives from this match, things which made their best efforts to try and enforce a Bangladesh defeat here today.

1) Umpires - first there was colly not given out after a clear edge off rubel. then there was wide called on rubel against broad, when balls that fly over our batsmen's shoulders are almost always called as dots. the ensuing extra del went for 2 runs, costing a grand total of 3, could have been crucial had we actually lost this game on the final ball or something.

add to that the dodgy decision against tamim in the first match, and the leg bye 4 that was not given to Imrul Kayes...and there seems to be a systematic approach to errors against us.

BCB needs to address these issues, even if the ICC ignores it, they should at least bring it out instead of swallowing it with their butt crack.

2) closing out our innings...good platforms are being wasted. this is unacceptable. riyad is the main culprit, but the tail enders also have to step it up.

3) fumbling in the field when runs are a premium. yes it is bound to happen with pressure and just as a general rule. and yes in the final overs some singles will always be pushed into twos by the chasing batsmen. but routine fumbles should not be occurring eveyr single ball.
