Re: Tushar
Just when a solid partnership (one that seems impossible to come by) was building Tushar lashed forward, completely missed a flighted ball by Chandana and was stumped. Playing Tushar instead of Bulbul in the second test was a mistake.
Well, play just ended for the day and Bangladesh are in dire straits once again. Why couldn't they just play it safely and ended the day with a fewer runs and wickets in hand? At least they made it to day four- thanks to the generosity of Jayasuria. It probably would have been better if BD were asked to follow on. They would have lost by a narrower margin and an extra two days to rest. The extra two days of rest seems more enticing to the BD batsmen than slugging to out for five days. For goodness sake if Manju can play 41 balls why can't all the batsman just do the same. I really wouldn't mind if they didn't score. Just stay at the crease. It seems that playing for five days would be an accomplishment in itself.
