Default What went wrong and Whats NEXT for Bangladesh!

A number of factors were evident in our embarassment;
1.) Batting...Rafique moving up when we have better batsman to exploit the powerplay, thus inevitably losing a wicket and causing a decline in morale!
By moving him up showing no faith in the others.
No backbone in WANTING to fight the Sri Lankans, there was noo grit, will or fight power....all the players seemed too lax.
2.) Bowling...much improved from Tapsh, good wickets and economy, however, why oh why could he bloody not bowl like that for the last two games....inconsistancy!
I know Rasel has done alright in his last two games, but overall in my honest opinion, he desparately needs to bulk up and improve on his accuracy and his pace
3.)Fielding....Desparately highlighted in field positions! When a bowler decided on line aand length in an over he sets his field accordingly, ie, if i am goin to pitch middle/leg, keep a leg slip, and a few more on the leg side, if i bowl outside offstump, keep players on the offside. However, Rasel and Tapsh were bowling stupid balls on the leg-side, which everybody knows will be called a wide, but even the decent deliveries were punished with leg glances, but hold on....there were no leg side fielders, in that case, a...they have no accuracy or control in their bowling, b....plain stupid bowling and no thought!

My dad and i were discussing this dire situation and came to the conclusion that Bangladesh have to change their fundamental structure for selection.
Every decent team in cricket has experienced players in the team, Up to a year ago Caddick at 36 was England's first choice opening bowler, now, with that in mind where are Bangldesh's experienced players???Mind you they have been playing cricket since the 70s. Bangladesh trained up the youth and when they were nearly old enough they threw out the old school and threw in the new, thats ok to an extent! You need a right balance. I'd say at least 4/5 experienced heads, with the rest young lads.
Now when the yougsters fail we can call on the experienced players to show them how to do it! thats how most if not all the cricketing nations operate, and if they screw up then its clearly the players fault. But at this moment in time, our avg age is 21/22, nearly all of them are treading waters of the main arena of international cricket, yeah, ashraful hit a hundred, and a few other big scores, ahmed hit 80 odd against england, but bloody hell can no-one see that we are pinning our hopes on a team of under-21s to play against SEASONED international stars. When they come unstuck like everyone does now and again there are no mature heads or seasoned players to keep them afloat, and instead we start kicking them when they're down. Without experienced players we are depending too much on the youth.

We have players like Tareq Aziz, yeah his 22 but he's done it in zimbabwe and he has a 35 strike-rate nearly as good as harmison, etc, and a 34 avg. for bowling. Thats too good to just suddenly drop.
Hasibul Hossain the only genuine fast bowler in Bdesh, with the coaches tune him, train etc, let him spearhead our attack instead of depending on Tapash, bloody hell he is only 22 as well. Hasibul is only 28, still young enough.
There must be others as well.
If not fair enough, but hard to believe.

Hasibul is neither 'a genuine fast bowler', nor 'only 28'.

If he is not picked, there should be a reason for that.

He has played just six matches in the last two years and took 19 wickets. Maybe he should bowl against local cricketers before fancying playing for the national side.

nothing went wrong, only problem was they all got out playing the wrong ball. Even the best team can do through a day like this . And I think Ash should have come at #3.

If Shanto is 28, then Mushfiq Rahim is either 10 or 12 years old.

What went wrong?
Mental strength of Srilankan players are far better than BD players. Time to time we forget that cricket is a mind game. So a slight variation in the line and length from a talented bowler our batsman start crumbling not because lack of skill because lack of application.

What is NEXT?
Test. And we all know these will be test to prove ourselves to ICC.

When all of us know our limitations why after a bright start we changed our batting order?Sending Rafiq at #3 was a wrong decision and also think again of making Bashar our captain .

He is a waste

Shanto's age is not the issue. His action is so good that he hardly generates any pace. He averaged 125 kmh in Australia and in Srilanka he will probably average 122 km/h so there is no point in having him. Even Taposh is better than him.

We need Mashrafe and quick bowler like Rajib. He will definitely get wickets ... InshaAllah
