Was a leading cause of defeat, that he tried to rectified it in the 2nd innings was no consolation as he did not get the job done.

For a man who has played 87 test matches, without ever having to worry about his spot, you wonder what has he learned over these years.

That he was leading a young team should have given him the sense that his example robbed off in his younger batters.

He occupied so many overs for so little production meant he kept the Bengali bowlers in play as, as happened, a couple quick wickets would have stalled the innings.

And that style of batting in this day and age, wow.

You are older than me, yet you have learned nothing about team development. Stick to Islam and leave the topics alone.

you older than me and you can't get over yuh rabid insularity?

The game was lost in Bangladesh’s Second Innings. Jakir Alis 91 was the main difference but the others stuck around while the Windies Bowlers had no other strategy than short and fast.

west indies should have never been struggling to overhaul that 162 in the first innings. that is unacceptable for a FC team, worse yet for a team that supposed to be a test side. the minute they encountered a quick bowler, they froze.

True as that might be, cricket happens. Bangladesh batted them out of the game in the second innings and they had to contend with a 4th innings wicket. They were only a few runs behind so basically they just had to bowl for a target but Jaker Ali jook dem

I am a Barbadian by birth, and I love the Island and the people, like most Europeans and Israelis, but I have always called out Conde and his management.

hoss....you is the same dude was saying that holder had help deciding to bat first at sloping lords in overcast conditions against broad and anderson with not a sliver of evidence to prove that was the case

In reply to Jumpstart

Again.
I have always worked with a team, and as a manager, I took responsibility for what happened in my area.

I don't believe a team going onto the field, was a decision of the captain.

I continue to ask for the coach to take over the duties of the on-field duty.
Cricket is the only team sport in which a captain is responsible for field duties.
I am older than you and have more foresight.

Awful statement as part of a cri ket discussions Actually awful statement full stop

In reply to Brerzerk

tellin yuh. this was before my time but you remember when allan border looked at the 1993 wicket for the deciding test at the WACA, and decided to bat first? my point to oppening when we discussed this is that i seriously doubt mark waugh, who didn't like short pitched bowling or Justin Langer, who had been concussed in the first innings of the previous test, told AB that if he wins the toss, they'd prefer to face ambrose and bishop on the quickest, bounciest wicket of the tour. is jason who decide to bat first just like ab decided to bat first
