Tigers perform poorly
Our national team lost in most of the matches in Asia Cup and played miserably in five day matches with England, I feel the reasons for which our young players fail to win are as follows:- - Lack of confidence. - Players are careless. - No determination. - No fighting attitude and challenging mood. - Not competitive. - Lack of patience to play long innings. - Poor shot selection. - One or two players play a defensive game and others try to hit every ball even in five days matches. - Bowlers slow or fast need good length bowling. - Lack of stamina. In order to win our players should have fighting and challenging attitude like Pakistanis, Indians and Sri Lankans without which it is impossible to win the game. When The Tigers bounced back recently in second ODI match winning it by 5 runs against England, they suddenly got back their energy, determination, fighting attitude to win the match and they have won. If they can grow team spirit within themselves and fight hard and get defeated, we would not mind but they must try. Some of the good players like Ashraful, Sakib, Mushfiq and Razzak need lots of training to overcome their fear. When I see them playing, I can see their face indicating nervousness against fast bowlers particularly. It is my request to Bangladesh Cricket team manager and coach to train them properly so that they can face all the bowlers, fast or slow, confidently. Mortaza, Rubel and Shafique are very good fast bowlers but they need more practice. Millions of people in our country have lot of expectation from our national team when they play against any team. We always feel proud of their success and feel miserable when we see they lose without a fight.
