Re: Bangladesh Pace Attack

Yes look bowling well miss chances are things you don't see on a scorecard but looking at the cold hard stats it's hard to say the Bangladeshi bowlers have out bowled anyone
Boult has 13 pegs @21, although he has gone at 4 an over
Southee has been average with 7 @40 and I think it's clear to see Tim is starting to slow down, the World Cup will be interesting to see how he goes if he plays much at all.
The best of the Bangas is Jayed (as I predicted) with 3 wickets @65, had a few chances dropped the poor bugger but still bowled plenty of dross
The rest have been shit house

Granted the Kiwi batting lineup has been really good but that's what you get when you go overseas you'll bowl to batsman in conditions they are suited to and like, same as when Zimbabwe spinners tour Bangladesh.
Also remember the Kiwi guys have come across a red hot Tamin Iqbal, he's been top shelf this series, he's the reason their economy rates are so high.
Yes if Shakib & Mushy were there the batting would have been much stronger and you could possibly have played an extra seamer or batsman with the spin of Shakib (You guys are fucked when he retires btw) but there are still so many glaring issues that still remain, and to your credit you've identified them.
Catching - might be the worst in world
Batting - Mominul can't buy a run out of the sub-continent, for a guy who's done so well at home he should be doing much better. Liton Das is a guy who I really like but he needs to be dropped, so many failures now he can't find the middle of the bat.
Bowling - Both seam and spin the BD guys can't find away to be effective unless it's a dust bowl, until they can they'll continue to get flogged overseas.
Losing this Test is very embarrassing IMO they only had to last three days and lost it in just over 2 really.
