Muddaser, check the run rate. Bangladesh second innings run rate is higher than your 2nd innings run rate. Salman butt scored those 37 runs only because he played his shots. Otherwise he might have stayed longer but would have scored less. Your captain stayed longer but scored 5. You did not complain when pakistan batsmen went for their shots in the 1st and 2nd tests. And you won't complain if Inzi goes for his shots and bring you victory. He went down the track a couple of times and succeeded in lifting Rafiq over his head for four --- and sure that made you very happy. But had he been out, you would have started complaining! The thing is that Bangladeshi bowlers are really bowling well and to a plan. Pakistani batsmen are finding it hard to score......and this usually brings in rash shots! It happens all the time in cricket. and most of the time the credit goes to the bowling side for their controlled display. Please give credit where it is due
