Some of you need to understand that this is the first time ever that such a bouncy wicket was prepared by the curators. This is unprecedented...I just hope that this pitch is used again for future domestic matches but not during the Pakistan series. Yes, the reason we lost to Zimbabwe was not so much a degradation of our standards but more so due to Zimbabwe's luck and our captain's rare stupid decision. Offcourse, the batter's off-form was another reason. I think going forward with the Pakistan series,, you will see a better composed Bangladesh team. This is not a hope but a reality because of Raqibul's return from injury, Mashrafee/Saqib being in form and the fact that there are few off-spinners in the squad. Basically we have a tall batting order of 8 that can and will be stable soon. The premier league will also ensure the players refine their flaws. All in all,, Yes it was not a clean sweep against Zimbabwe but it was never the case where any one doubted who was the better team in terms of depth and variations.
