Same old story

I am sorry to say BD\'s performance is so disheartening. 3 down for 34 in no time. Clearly they have been granted the test status 7-8 years earlier than they deserved. This has only harmed them. It is all fine to say money has started flowing in only after the status and they are gaining experience. But, unless there is a tangible improvement in the quality of cricket they play, money inflow is not getting utilized. It is not just sufficient if the country eats and sleeps cricket. You got to go and play well in the middle. With only one bowler with avg in 30s and only one bat with avg in 30s, they have a long way to go.

this is their first england tour...the conditions would be difficult for any subcontinental team. we have to be patient. many of the wickets (unlike the Lords test) were due to good balls rather than throwing the wicket away.

With same old players, it will be more or less same old story.

Buggers didn't even last 40 overs for the 3rd time. This is poor showing. Looks like another innings defeat. 22 Innings defeats in 5 years is bit too much.
