Although it's been a good test match for us, I would like to point out the negatives:
1. Dropped catch in the slips (Indian fielders were brilliant in the slips and we should learn from them. We really need to have someone who's got a good technique and imo Imrul Kayes is not good enough, neither with the bat nor in the field)
2. Poor batting by the top order once again especially in the first innings and in the second innings they gave their wickets away.
3. Shahriar Nafees should not bat at no.3, how many teams have lefties batting at no.3? Raqibul Hasan is a much better option although he doesn't have great footwork but good enough for a Bangladeshi batsman.
4. Too many runs were given away in the 2nd innings by Rubel and Shafiul, it's good to be aggressive and try to bowl fast but discipline in the bowling is always required for a weaker team.
My preferred playing XI for the 2nd test match:
Tamim Iqbal
Imrul Kayes
Raqibul Hasan
Shahriar Nafees
Mahmudullah Riyad
Shakib Al Hasan (c)
Mushfiqur Rahim (wk)
Enamul Haque Jnr.
Shahadat Hossain
Rubel Hossain
Shafiul Islam
This had to be Ashfool's last chance, Enamul Jnr. can score more runs than him at no. 8.
