Liton Das’ condition is worse. The bat is not talking at all. As if Liton forgot to run. Irresponsibility also seems to have got it. These days, he is also doing the work of bringing about the death of the innings by trying to play unnecessary shots at untimely times.
In the previous match, Lytton gave away wickets when he flicked the ball outside the off-stamp instead of playing it on the off side. Not even in one attempt. Lytton, unable to bat while flicking the previous two deliveries pitched at almost the same place, was bowled while doing the same with the third ball.
Besides, captain Nazmul Hossain Shanter’s bat condition is also not good. He is also not able to play very comfortably. No run. Strikerate is also much lower than required. Shantar’s total of 43 runs came from the bat in 3 matches against Zimbabwe (21 off 24 balls in the first match, 16 off 15 balls in the second match, and 6 off 4 balls in the last match). Strikerate is a little over 100′.
As he is basically a batter. So if the team is to be led from the front, Shanto must run; But Shanta still can’t do that in this series. How is his captaincy with him? How calm is the captain in the eyes of fellow cricketers?
Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed praised Taskin Shant when asked a question. He said, ‘I personally enjoyed the last two series. It seems the others are doing it too.’
In Taskin’s assessment, the skipper is making quiet progress. He thinks that Shant has leadership qualities. ‘He has leadership in him. And more importantly, the team culture is pretty good now. Everyone is trying to play 5 percent better on the field, off the field.
‘We are a bit less genetically powerful than Australia-West Indies. Because in Power Cricket T20 how we can use the gap, we can score more runs, we can do better in bowling, we are all trying to improve. Because skill wise margin of all players in our team is 19-20. That is why we are trying to play better cricket as a team. That’s what I’m trying to do, how everyone can do better from their place. Shanta is helping a lot with it.’
