Batsman should be wary of his bowling tactic.
Any way, first 4 games are very important for Bangladesh if we wish to go beyond second round. Points from 1st round against any/all top 4 will be carried forward to the second round. So the game against SA and ENG will not be any easier.

When I was working for the ICC High Performance Department in the Caribbean, looking after Canada and Ireland, he took a couple of wickets of both teams with exactly that tactic, he slows down, drops his arms and then continues on and bowls. Its clever, as the batter automatically relaxes his guard because he thinks the bowlers his stopping. I am not sure it is within the spirit of the game though. Thoughts anybody ?
