Who to blame for the failure in the latest Test?
The Daily Star has recently published a front-page report titled “Tigers fail to learn.” I believe it's not only the Tigers who had failed to learn; many commentators and the cricket board should also share the blame. They rejoice too much when a victory is achieved, although they have little understanding of the inherent strength of our team in bowling and batting.
The reason why the Tigers opted to field after winning the toss in the first and second Tests against South Africa was nothing but a fear of being bundled out quickly. The truth is, they don't have the stamina to play for five days in a row. The pace bowlers do not get the opportunity to learn in home condition, as the Test pitches are generally prepared for spinners. Unless we focus on building capacity for our cricketers, we should not expect anything better.
