Satisfying performance
Bangladesh did pretty well both the ODI and Test series during the recent Caribbean tour. For the first ever time the team drew a test match, not with the help of rain or something else, but by their own performance. Habibul Bashar, Rafique and Masud scored a ton each in the first Test. However, why was the captain Bashar so eager to declare the second innings when Masud was so close to a century? However Bangladesh still lost both the ODI and Test series as:
1.The top order didn't provide enough runs for bowlers to defend.
2.They missed a lot of catches.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. 3.The team's bowling line up and fielding was a bit weak.
I think Bashar should be removed from the ODI side because his performance in the short version of the game is not satisfying as a result of his bad footwork. Rather than individual performances, teamwork is needed for us to win. However, we can say Bangladesh has improved a lot and played the game honestly and we shouldn't have to wait for a win for too long.
