Shakib critical of Bangladesh’s batting in Antigua Test

. . .-100 . . . . . div , , p . , . , Bangladesh had a disappointing start to their tour of West Indies as they lost the Antigua Test by 7 wickets. Batting proved to be a tough task on a spicy track as a horrendous first innings show continued to haunt The Tigers in the game. While Bangladesh did well with the bat in their second innings, a target of 84 wasnrsquot threatening particularly after West Indies survived the Khaled Ahmed scare. As it should, the batting department really worried the skipper Shakib Al Hasan who thinks that losing 6 wickets in the morning session of the game was a big point in this game. In fact, the enterprising all-rounder believes that the dismal batting in the morning session killed the game for the tourists. Not only that, the 35-year old highlighted that Bangladesh has been having many batting collapses with which they cannot win games. In addition to this, he praised his bowling department for giving it their all in the red-ball contest against West Indies. ldquoToss didnrsquot go in our favor, but we needed to apply ourselves better. Going into lunch having lost 6 wickets wasnrsquot a good thing. That first session actually killed the game for us. We have been having a lot of batting collapses and that really cannot help the bowlers. Even in this game, our bowlers bowled their hearts out,rdquo added by the veteran of 62 Tests, 221 ODIs and 96 T20Is.
