Yesterday's game was a perfect illustration why we manage to snatch defeat from the jaw of victory.

In older days we used to be critical of Habibul Bashar for being his super conservative attitude. Any other team in the world probably would have put 8-9 people in the circle after Pakistan lost 7 weekets. Instead Musfique went for containment and ended up conceding way too many runs. We need somebody much more aggressive as captain. Somedays we will lose ugly but we will win much more frequently. I don't think Shakib is the answer. With Tamim's natural aggression, he might be the answer.

Players like Razzak and Mashrafe batted without common sense. This is not the first time when Razzak has done that. It is understood that Razzak and Mashrafe are mainly bowlers but that is no excuse.

Mashrafe showed once again that he is a choker when it comes to bowling at death. With his minimal pace, he is pretty much worthless.

Mahmudullah really has no business being in playing 11. If not for the silly politics that cost Shakib and Tamim to lose captaincy/vice-captaincy, he would not have been in the team.

I am pretty convinced that a drastically different playing 11 will give us much better chance of winning

out - Mashrafe, Razzak, Mahmudullah

Captain - Shakib
