I'd rather "Why do we suck?" thread were bumped instead of a new thread, and I know it's natural to feel like jumping off a cliff when you've witnessed our first innings batting, but I'd have to say there's no excuse for this kind of performance. For any other test playing country I'd understand. But this is Zimbabwe we're talking about - a country that can't provide a quarter of the facilities afforded by our cricketers, whose players have less first class match experience than we do, and they're playing in our friggin conditions for crying out loud...not to confuse with frigid conditions.

The difference between a Tamim, a Shamsur, a Nazimuddin or even a Anamul (up until now in tests) is unish bish at best. I admit I only watched two wickets go down, Mominul and Shakib but the way they threw away their wickets made me want to puke. Getting beaten by teams like Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Zim at home has more to do with mental issues than anything else.
