still somehow worse than i anticipatedurgh this is gonna be painful
They need a better square at Mirpur. A better wicket besides a spinner’s paradise.still somehow worse than i anticipated
joke of a T20 side, the whole Nat setup is rotten and is why they keep failing at big global events.
They lost to HK once lolInteresting stat that the Bangers have only won one game at a T20 WC against a full member nation. Thought they’d have done better than that tbh
For ages they were actually ranked lower than Hong Kong.They lost to HK once lol
once you adjusted expectations and shrugged off the ball rolling in the second over those games were quite fun(ny) to watch on mute.Surely Bangladesh has to actually prepare proper home pitches now? Because it's pretty hard to take those two series just before this seriously now, even more than it was at the time.
I've bought into this viewpoint. When you look at the Bangladesh team I don't see how you can expect to win many T20 games with Mushfiqur and Mahmadullah in the middle order. And that's just the batting side. It's a worry I have with SA and the fact that we have four openers(QDK Reeza Markram and Bavuma) and a bloke that used to open(Rassie) in our top 5!T20 is also a really hard game to be consistently good at. Unlike ODI and Tests, T20 seems to demand a role playing set up and teams that are used to banking on individual performances are finding it more and more difficult. I mean you can pick an all star XI and lose to one of the best run franchises in T20s, IMO. Coz the game depends so much on role playing and team work compared to even ODIs and definitely wen compared to tests.
Once again though these are the kinds of things you only really learn by stress-testing your team in realistic, competitive games on normal pitches rather than the "lol let's just play a dozen spinners and win with a score of 110" rubbish they served up this year.I've bought into this viewpoint.

They can try leaving a little grass (if you can grow grass on the outfield, you can grow it on the pitch) and actually watering and rolling them. The pace of the pitches doesn't really matter, they just need firm, flat surfaces as that's what 97.5% of T20 is played on. Ironically the pitches this tournament are more bowling friendly than normal but Bangladesh still suck as the pace bowlers have been getting purchase, whereas their own pitches neuter the fact that every team except Zimbabwe has a better pace attack, something that itself is caused by the terrible pitches.They need a better square at Mirpur.

Cox’s Bazar wicket plays the same as well.
The one is Syhlet is much faster than the other two.
