Tigers' performance during second test with Pakistan

Tamim really looked like he was set to score his second double century during the second innings of BD's second test with Pakistan. But he played an irresponsible shot outside the off-stump to get himself out.

Why did he play that shot after he was set and looking so good? Just after he played a brilliant innings and convinced everyone that he had matured as a batsman, he went back to his old self and played the way he used to. Why? Only he can answer that question. Why was Taskin left out and of all people Shahadat brought back?

Shahadat has actually lost matches for Bangladesh in the past with his poor performances and his bad luck continued in that match. Mushfiq is known for his poor decision making in the past and this time was no different as he gifted Pakistan the match by opting to bowl first. I have one thing to say: India is coming and it is vital to beat them in order to earn their respect. For this, I hope all our players will bring their A game. Otherwise, we will never earn their respect.
