Default pissed off!

I cannot express anything but frustration and anger. How could they....score anything less than 100? What really pissed me off was how Khaled Masud, Pilot got himself out. No doubt he is the most persevering player in the team and deserves to lead the team as captain but was very disappoint and....upset over the way he batted. It was uncharacteristic of him. He shouldn't have let the failures of his team mates get him down and lose focus.

I was following the commentry. He and Maju were the last wickets standing. He went for a lofty shot off the bowling of Chandana and was caught by Murali. He would have never played that shot had the situation been not so hopeless. He should have kept his head down and played till Maju got out or the innings ended.

I think the reason I am so disappointed with Pilot is because of the idiocy of the so called "specialist" batsmen and the "all-rounders". Pilot's temperment is the only thing that would have made any sense in the utter chaos.
