I take your point that there was tremendous mental pressure on our boys. But how is it that the same team can handle the pressure one day (i.e. vs Ireland and England) and buckles under it the very next day (e.g. vs India, WI and SA)? Me no understand.
Well, the batting side have been really poor over last one year. They may have good show here and a good show there, but overall they remained poor. The coaching staff, namely Siddons, ignored the problem for long as bowlers and occasional sparkles from Tamim or Shakib won us some matches last year, but eventually the bottom fell out.
