This goes for any team tbh, I HATE test pitches that are flat like this, regardless of where the game is taking place. They should be banned. People who are willing to watch a 5 day game deserve some suspense, thrills and good finishes, not a meaningless draw that we saw coming from miles away
It is not the job of Bangladesh to keep test cricket alive.

Our job is to secure what is best for us, and given our current bowling capability, draw is the most realistic result for us.

According to you, people only remember wins or nail biting draws. This is wrong. Whenever stats pop up, you see three columns: W, D, or L. Of course we want to be remembered as winners, but if that is not possible, then it is better to be remembered as drawers (do not know if this is a term ) than as losers.

And you want suspense/entertainment? Wasn't the fightback of Tamim and Imrul a great treat?
