“We have to find out how to better concentrate for longer, and avoid making mistakes. Other teams don’t give so many opportunities (to opposition),” Shakib said.
Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan has expressed disappointment at his team’s fielding lapses in the series-deciding second Test against India in Mirpur.
Those missed catches made the difference: Shakib Al Hasan
“It is slightly disappointing (missing catches). Other teams don’t miss the chances that we are missing. They made the difference. We could have bowled them out for 250 instead of 314 (in the first innings). There was a chance in the second innings, but it is part of cricket,” Shakib told reporters after the end of the Test series.
“We fielded well in the T20 World Cup. We fielded well in the ODI series, but we couldn’t do it in the Test match. Maybe due to lack of concentration or fitness,” he said. “We have to find out how to better concentrate for longer, and avoid making mistakes. Other teams don’t give so many opportunities. We miss regulation stuff. Our bowlers have to create 13-14 chances to take 10 wickets. Other teams have to create nine chances to take 10 wickets.”
