Well people be complaining about the India/Sri Lanka matches that it is nothing more than computer game like farce. I disagree. Put Bangladesh in that high scoring pitch, you wouldn't see the result like that. Reason why we saw not only high scoring match but such competitiveness where game came down to the wire because these Indian-Sri Lankan players are beyond our players and are the cricket version of NBA or NFL players where fitness or rudimentary skill doesn't matter. Every free throw is result of hours of drill works where it lands with perfection; in cricket analogy, how often do we see a Bangladeshi player perform a textbook shot with perfection? Seldom. Because, we have to climb the initial obstacles of fitness, injuries, form (physical), and other fundamental barriers. We are asholei choli patay patay whereas the other teams move fromkosh to kosh. So in these reference, Indian-Sri Lankan players are like the "ideal" players who doesn't worry have to basic skill level or fitness, but remember the burslesque, koi maas dhorar moton fumblings during fielding where many of our players were guilty of 2-3 years back?? It's sad. A player can be short but if he has < 5% body fat, muscular from clocking in tons of hours in the gym, aerodynamic, lithe, flexible, gymnast like athletic who does his homework of consistently putting hours and hours of practising the same maneover over and over then he slowly comes to the realm of "ideal" players like the NBA/NFL ones. We are long shot away from producing Sehwag or Dilshan.

Edit: Consider how bad sometimes Rubel or Shahadat would bowl their line and length. It would be inexcusable in major leagues like NBA-NFL. They wouldn't even sniff a chance if something like this occurred. Because the moment you step in the international arena you are supposed to have the basics in the bag.
