He gifted his wicket. Don't use lame excuse his defence isn't good. He can defend with his technique and he has done it before. He just had a moronic idea to go down to that ball, which was more flighted and slower in the air and knowing pitch is turning. Shot was never on. It's not a flat deck for you to keep coming down. He scored a 4, why need to repeat it again? 4 run is enough, it's a test match on a tricky wicket, not t20 finishing in 3hrs pal.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. He's not perfect but he's the best we've got.

It's safe to say that if we can't post a score around 300 on the board
we'll lose the game especially if take our toothless bowling attack into consideration.
I think we played too many aggressive shots for my liking. Mushy inclusive. Tamim was the only one who looked in total control. Posted via BC Mobile Edition
One technical flaw about Sabbir is when he sweeps at a ball aimed at the stumps he doesn't go outside the line of the off stump. The purpose of this is to ensure that if you miss the stumps aren't disturbed and no LBW.
However if the ball is down the leg you can sweep regardless Posted via BC Mobile Edition

We need our no. 6 to score 50s and 100s not 30 ball 30s Posted via BC Mobile Edition
He's like Shakib he can't defend very well, let him play aggressive and try and get to a 40,thats not good enough for a batsman, but he's in the team and has to do what he can, can't defend and get out for 20, let him play his way to a 50 hopefully

Very true, t20 technique designed for power

Need to bat long. Keep batting as long. More we bat pitch gets old, deteriorates hence when 4th innings batting comes it will be tougher. As of now, batting is ok if you bat watching accordingly and not like Sakibs t20 style.
