Mushfiqur Rahim takes blames for his team’s defeat – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in the 2nd and final Test match last night, claiming that his wicket heralded the collapse of their innings in
the second session on Day 5.
The Bangladeshi Captain was regretful at the shot which had him dismissed during the second innings. He confessed that he wanted to score more runs to enforce a draw but his execution was wrong. He opined that the Bengali Tigers could have denied a victory
to Pakistan if he had batted for 20 more minutes or so.
Rahim revealed that the Bangladeshi top-order has batted irresponsibly on many occasions and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 has always failed to prolong their innings once the middle-order falls.
During the post-match press conference, the young leader said, “Of course I will take the blame. If I didn't get out, we could have batted 30 minutes more. I feel guilty for my shot as I let my team down. I was set so I thought if I take a chance, I could
score 20-30 more runs. My plan was correct but execution was wrong. They only had square-leg back. I tried it earlier but couldn't get to the ball."
He further added, “Ever since I started playing for Bangladesh, this has happened. This is the fact. We make mistakes in situations and we can't recover. If we had taken all the catches, they wouldn't have taken the 130-run lead.”
However, Rahim expressed his satisfaction over the recent improvement the team’s batting had made and hailed the resilience of the batsmen against the mighty bowling attack of Pakistan, adding that it is a good sign for future matches.
The Tigers can take heart from the fact that the team posted 338 and 234 runs in their first and second innings of the Mirpur Test.
The 23-year-old, who took the baton from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shakib-Al-Hasan-c2492 a few months back, has played 28 Test, 104 ODI and 17 T20I matches so far for his national side.
