Why lose a winning match?

Bangladesh really bowled and fielded well in the final One-Day match against Pakistan. They bowled out the strong visitors for 177 runs. Bangladesh team was in a commanding position, 74 for 1 wicket, and was about to win the match. But what went wrong? Why could not our boys continue their performance? They were bowled out for 119. All that was required then was patience and to flick the ball all around for singles or couple of runs to reach the small target of 177. What a shame! Whatever respect we had for our team, now seems to be all over. The Bangladesh Cricket Control Board really needs to sit down and work out plans to do something about this. Why not get back some of the recently retired players? There is less scope for the current set of players to do any better. The only remedy is: get the boys learn proper cricketing skill and application.
