No excuse for top order failure

[MHRAM]

One definitely have noticed that our top order has been very poor in this series so far. We should have played the way zimbabwe did today. This is a flat track where you will get full value for your shots.

I am afraid that our top-order should be criticized for this dismal scored. 270 and 250 on such a batting paradise, against such and ordinary bowling and fielding side is NOT good enough. Batsman needed to stay more positive in these wickets. If you get bogged down, you are bound to throw away your wicket, which was the case how our top 3 got out

[Crisis]

What more is that there's only one player in our team making a 50 in every match, where at least 3/4 should be doing it against ZIM.

that too on a batting paradise. But hey, when vampires are there what can you do?

[AsifTheManRahman]

We simply batted like a bunch of Abuls today. Even Mofeez must have winced a few times.

[Rubu]

3 Wicket of the first 5 was not out. When you have to go uphill like that against umpires, I will consider that as a absolutely valid excuse.

Ash - wherever the sound came from, does not matter, there was no way that ball was close to the bat.

One LBW was with a huge edge, even a blind should have seen it, and another was going down the leg quite easily.

Yes, batsmen made mistakes, many of them Mominul's fault, but it was mostly umpires fault.

40-60 runs short today

Agree. Still pretty sub par performance, but regardless.

[simon]

Ordinary batting by Tamim, Ash the walking wicket, Mominul who is just not ready at all.
Ash & Momin should be dropped , JAhurul & Shamsu should be given a chance.

No excuse for sure.

so our batsman has to ensure they dont get beaten when ball is close to edge.

also no way ball can hit the pad

LOL

the batting of Nasir and Mahmudullah was pathetic, they were playing like a test match it seems
and Mominul has not learnt any foot movement

Aka, don't play cricket.

[fwullah]

We are short of one opening batsman this ODI Series.

[Shehwar]

Should have taken SN. He knows how to treat minnows.

[ReZ_1]

May be the situation is tough for our top orders when we are batting first

[Equinox]

Sorry but we can't have our two best batsmen coming in at 5 and 6. Shakib can't be batting any lower than #4. Maybe he can even move up to 3 like in the T20s.

could have been a good contributor in the bulawayo pitches

[BengaliPagol]

Razzak will slot into the opening position very comfortably if you ask me

[Gowza]

try shamsur as 2nd opener. bring shuvagata back into the squad, played well in the matches he was given then was dropped.

Gowza Bhai, what is it with you and Shuvagata Hom? I mean it seems like your a very close relative or friend of that guy.. Majority of the people here at BC don't want him in National team! I assumed that guy had some political relations at BCB and luckily got a chance to play for Bangladesh not due to his performance. Here is his stats: His stats don't show much.

35* V Zimbabwe @ Bulawayo
32 V Zimbabwe @ Harare
3 V Zimbabe @ Bulawayo.

[MHRAM]

We are really missing anamul. He would have done well in the circumstances.

Though he lacks feet movement, he is one of those who can perform well on quality batting pitches like the current bulawayo track. Anything less than 300 is chaseable in this pitch, infact, not even 325 is safe

not bad either, did a good job for the role he was given and the opportunities he was given, also looked quite good. i'm fine if he's not in the XI, just reckon he's an option and shouldn't be forgotten especially since looking at the numbers you posted he got a bit of a raw deal being dropped. why does a guy who looks the part and scored some decent runs get dropped the next series? i just don't believe he got given the chances he should have given what he produced in those 3 innings and how he produced those runs.

If 'majority' of people don't want Shuvagata in the team that doesn't mean that is the right decision. No one wanted Ziaur in tests and look how many wickets he ended up taking.

[shuziburo]

BCB will not protest about biased umpiring. They also will not insist on DRS. Thus, we are at the mercy of these umpires. Even though Shakib was fined, perhaps his outburst will attract some much needed attention. No one is saying much publicly.

I can understand when a young player like Mominul strugle... may be he is not ready yet. And I can also understand when an opener goes early.

But it's really hard for me to understand why experienced players like Tamim and Ashraful cannot take care RR, spacially taking advanatge of powerplay. Experiecned players like them should take care of the PP when they stay, not put extra pressure to other young playrers. Also when one opener goes, the other need to stay avoid a mini collupse.

My expectation from experienced players are more than new players. They need to do more than new players.
