LBW Mahmudul Hasan Joy misses Vishwa Fernando’s straight ball. A review challenging the umpire’s decision also failed. Nazmul Hossain came to the crease and lost focus. Rajitha took the catch behind the wicket while driving the outside ball with one hand. Lahiru Kumara came to the wicket and got success in the first over, sending back Zakir Hasan. The left-handed batsman also punched out.
Then Biswa Fernando dismissed Shahadat Hossain Dipu and Liton Das in one over. Shahadat made a catch while blocking Ball without using any leg. Liton came forward and took the catch in the sky. Bangladesh 5 batsmen in the dressing room to score 37 runs. But chasing the target of 511 runs, the batsmen of Bangladesh are supposed to fight to save the match. National team selector Abdur Razzak is extremely disappointed with such procession of batsmen.
At the end of the day’s play, Razzaq said to the media, ‘From the batting point of view, it seemed very unexpected and unacceptable to me. That will be the batting, especially in the second innings…they batted well. After watching their batting, our batting felt different. I’m disappointed.’
Razzak does not see any problem with the wicket, ‘Why should there be a problem with the wicket. Will the pitch make a world of difference in half an hour? Before long they both killed a hundred. There is a break of 10 minutes. What happened on the wicket in 10 minutes. Actually something went wrong in our application. In fact, we are wrong.’
All of Razzak’s frustrations with Liton’s inexplicable out. When the team was on the brink of the abyss, his wicket simply sacrificed itself. Biswa Fernando’s ball came forward and caught a messy shot at cover. Lytton questioned his place at the first call-up of Test cricket. Razzak cannot expect such a performance from one of the senior cricketers of the team.
Expecting maximum performance from those in the team, he said, ‘Disappointing. It is not right for a senior batsman to get out like this in a Test match. In fact, Liton Das did not bowl alone, but 5 wickets fell here. Everyone is wrong. Those who are playing test matches, he is young, and he is young, and he is not yet matured, there is no chance to say these things. Such an opportunity is given to him because he can actually handle it. It’s not anyone’s fault.’
