Optimist · #27 October 30, 2003, 11:55 PM

I guess our batsmen does not know how to bat, team management does not know how to select and curators does not know how to prepare pitches with cerrtain objective!

bd_cricket · #28 October 30, 2003, 11:55 PM

fwullah · #43 October 31, 2003, 06:02 AM

After such a bad batting performance of Bangladesh over the whole test series, and particularly in this match, I will be happy ONLY if we can get a draw out of this match, which is, from the mental state that our batsman are in, virtually impossible.

pagol-chagol · #44 October 31, 2003, 07:20 AM

Since you are at it why don't you pray for world peace too. And also take our country out of the top 10 corruption list. And no more shontrash. I think those are a little bit more realistic than salvaging this match without rain.

If our batemen survived the six sessions of Day 4 and Day 5, I think Shubho would have payed for us all to go to Vienna! Unfortunately, its not going to happen.

fwullah · #46 October 31, 2003, 11:07 AM

I've seen Bangladesh's batting today - the way that the last 6 batsman got out, it didn't seem like that the players had ever faced short of length balls before.

Now obviously most of them have faced same short pitched balls in South Africa, Australia, and they're quite surprised to see a Bangladeshi wicket behaving the way that South African or Australian pitches act.

Frankly speaking, to me, it seemed like they had totally forgotten that this type of bowling had existed before.

Rajin Saleh and Mushfiqur Rahman has not been to those places, but Khaled Mashud has. And yet, Khaled Mashud went out just on the perfect bouncy short of length ball, which was not really a bouncer.

If the trend that has been upto now, then we have a lot of difficult path ahead of us. Whenever a new player is playing his first game for Bangladesh, he will have to start learning how to play on such hostile conditions all over again.

So obviously, the messege is not going through from the likes of Hannan Sarkar, Habibul Bashar, Alok Kapali who knows how to handle such situations to the other batsman like Rajin Saleh, Mushfiqur Rahman and the other lower order batsman.
