Bangladesh performance
by wibas wibas on Apr 01, 2007 11:25 AM   Permalink

I don't know about the exhibition match between BD and NZ. But India lost of Bangladesh because of its own problem, not because they played well. These are the reasons.
1. Sachin, Utthappa, Dravid, Sehwag none of them are in right form.
2. Bad start - Ganguly, Utthappa opening pair wasn't good in any of the matches. Immediately after Utthappa, Sehwag also went out. Surprising thing is Sachin felt too much pressure at that instance.
3. With all the top order failing, Dravid should play anchor innings, but he is not Kapil to get 175.
4. Bad bowling - Indian bowling even for a brief moment didn't make it feel that India had chances to win the game.

This loss atleast should bring about the drastic changes in the team. Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Gambhir could've batted well in the crucial match.
