Almost every other match the captain has been making big and basic mistakes with the fielding position. The commentators kept saying where is the slip missing, why is there a fielder near silly mid on. Not attacking fielding most of the time for new batsmen.
With the bat even when we win we gift our wkts without any pressure. And when they get out the players themselves feel disgusted with what they have done.

a. no slip for Mashrafee with the new ball whizzing past the SA top order?
b. why on earth were all the fielders patrolling the boundary when Pollock and Gibbs were making merry in the middle of the innings?
c. was there really any need to bowl Mashrafe in the 49th over when he could hardly walk let alone bowl?
2. Wobbling top order
'Do not lose wickets in the first 15 overs' does not mean that you will scamper to gift away all your wickets as soon as the 15th over is completed. The whole purpose of preserving wickets is so that you can get set and score a big innings. None of our top four did that against SA. The result was that we were perirously close to another disastrous batting effort. Ofcourse Ashraful had other ideas.
