Very shagadelic performance, at least did not see the same usual 23/5 picture for BD. As a supporter, all i wanted is a good fight and not to give up regardless result.
But the useless BD team management probably lost more confidence than players. They never believed they could win regardless the score. So they ordered Nafis not to worrry abt score at all and just dont loose the wicket. Result is 9 runs frm 52 balls which is very much unlike Nafis. And then a hopeless run out at the end
Then including Rajin again in the team was another blow. During the crucial time he scored 14 out of 28 balls that has killed the game. Why is pilot sent after Rajin despite pilot continued performing as one of the top bd batsman.
I am sure India will add more top players to the team for 2nd ODI, we should include Masrafe and drop Mushfiq Babu.
