The over reliance on these players mean that when they fail the whole team comes down crashing.
I also believe there is a psychological problem as. for an example: when Bangladesh have to chase 250 plus then they go into a shell and believe that they cant chase this and do not play natural game and hence collapse as highlighted today. I believe this is a matter of confidence and not having a big heart.
I also believe that Bangladesh miss a big hitter- like we are lucky to have the likes of Afridi, razzaq, U Akmal, Kamran Akmal, Misbah who can increase the run rate when ever they wish thus there is little pressure on the team. And also the fact that Bangladesh have too many spinners who are mediocre and not not match winning and this effects the balance of the team. bangladesh should try to stick with specialists and not bits and pieces players.
My 2 cents.

King Khan;
No offense, your 2 cents translate to 0 for Bangladesh. This is just growing pain for Bangladesh. The right talent has always been there and will always be there - we are only beginning to nurture them. And above all big hitters or not, nobody should model anything after Pakistani players. Before any athletic ability is concerned, first thing is honesty and ethical astuteness. We all know from Rashid Latif to Afridi to the recent Amir, Asif and Butt do not provide any standard. Lets not site Pakistani cricket as a measuring stick for success. We are doing just fine.
