They way TI batted we just needed another batsman to deliver a 70+ innings or 2 more scoring around 30. This could put the opponent into enough pressure as we could dry up the runs with a more cautious approach.
BTW I never expected to win but TI actually changed my stance last night  . If he can punish Bresnan-Broad-Collingwood like that then we just need someone for a long time support him ATW. Shakib had the biggest opportunity in this match actually since the opportunity to beat India when we had 296 on the board.
I cannot say they lack commitment or anything. The problem is whatever fielding and bowling flaws are part of us, it could be a different story had Shakib stayed with TI as a couple for another ten overs or so and we could really utilize the PP.

completely agree! this one should have been in the bag. NO EXCUSES! the players have plenty of experience, plenty of "class"(psuedo), plenty of hype, but lack of juice!
England is as easist as it will get(maybe Pakistan, but not willing to underestimate them)...
the way Mushfiqur and Shakib got themselves out is inexcusable at this level of cricket!
