Another whitewash?
During the West Indies tour, the way our cricketers played was an insult to the entire nation: A 5-0 drubbing by the West Indies. We do not need an opening batsman like Tamim Iqbal who bats senselessly. We need openers like Javed Omar Belim who always saw off the new ball and put a price on his wicket and in more than one occasion, carried the bat for his country.
Mominul seems to bat sensibly; now why can't he be put in the opening position to see off the new ball? We need a captain who knows how to place fielders in correct positions when the situation demands it. For example, during the second Test match, neither did Mushfiq place a third slip, nor a third man, and this caused the ball to race to the boundary many times. Several catches could have been taken in this position. But it never occurred to Mushfiq for once that he could place a 3rd slip and a 3rd man. This sort of poor decision making by Mushfiq is not acceptable. It is also said that Bangladesh has the weakest bowling line up. Why is that?
One thing is for sure, Bangladesh will continue to tour the world and lose matches. As long as they are getting paid, who cares whether they win or lose? It seems that they care the least!
