Batting analysis of Bangladesh in the one day series against the Aussies
The Australians have clean swept the Bangladesh team with their blistering batting performances in the three match one day international (ODI) series at Mirpur. The Bangladeshi batting failed to click through out the series.
The Bangladeshis were looking for redemption after the humiliation handed to them at the hands of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in the World Cup. They didn't find any.
The conditions were not to blame. Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 scored 294 runs in three matches. In second one dayer match he scored a massive 185 runs from only 96 balls, simultaneously the fastest century and highest score by any Australian
player in the limited overs format of the game. Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 and Michael Hussey were also amongst the run getters.
In comparison the Bangladeshi batsmen showed plenty of intent but could not convert that intent into match winning performances. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Mahmudullah-c77079 was one notable exception with 134 runs in 3 games. In the first ODI, the right
handed lower middle-order batsman scored 28 runs under-pressure from 31 balls. In the second ODI he scored 38 runs from 51 balls and in the last match, he was promoted up the order to number four, a decision he justified by playing a knock of 68 runs from
61 deliveries.
Wicket-keeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045 was the second highest scorer for the tigers. He remained unbeaten in the first ODI contributing 44 runs from 58 balls. In second ODI, he thrashed 81 runs not out from 80 deliveries.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahriar-Nafees-c2486 also scored over 100 runs in the series. In the first match, he was dismissed for a duck by Mitchell Johnson. In the second ODI, he scored 56 runs from 73 balls. In the last match, Nafees scored 60 runs from 86
balls.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamim-Iqbal-c2640 tallied 99 with a 65 in the first match. The biggest disappointment was Raqibul Hasan who
scored only seven runs in two matches.
The Bangladesh team has the potential to play cricket at the highest level but somehow the combination has failed to click in more than a decade after the team achieved test playing status.
