Brittle batting!
S.A. Mansoor, Gulshan, Dhaka
Our team's batting is woefully brittle. The batsmen seem to suffer from osteoporosis in batting; similar to brittle bones in the elderly! You don't know when it will fall apart! Something radical needs to be done; unless setting negative records is our aim in the international cricket arena.Changes in batting order possibly are of no use, but may be there is nothing further to lose. Why not try out the batsmen number 11,10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3; after the regular openers, who at least put up a few runs. It could not be worse than what we do now. Who knows; may be this disorder in our batting line-up may change the poor lamb's (ex-tiger)luck! Batting, to an extent bowling, and fielding, where dropping a dolly catch in the deep in the first one-dayer was a classical example, shows us up as nothing more than rank amateurs! May by the brave attempt of an upside down batting order could be a lucky move. After all fortune favours the brave!
