Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva together scored 476 runs in four centuries. In the Sylhet Test, the total runs of these two Sri Lankan batsmen were far behind the combined runs of the Bangladesh team. It shows how helpless Bangladesh was. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto did not go towards making excuses after the huge loss in the one-sided fight.
Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva together scored 476 runs in four centuries. In the Sylhet Test, the total runs of these two Sri Lankan batsmen were far behind the combined runs of the Bangladesh team. It shows how helpless Bangladesh was. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto did not go towards making excuses after the huge loss in the one-sided fight.
The first Test ended shortly after the lunch break on Monday. Bangladesh were crushed by 328 runs. Shanto quickly rushed to the press conference after completing the award ceremony. There was no force in the captain's voice with a confused look.
Pacers benefited from the new ball on the Sylhet wicket, but it was ideal for the batsmen as well. Kamindu-Dhananjaya has shown that big runs can be scored easily if you settle down. Both scored centuries in two innings. Both of them scored 476 runs in the entire test. Bangladesh can score 370 runs in two innings.
A loss without a fight therefore naturally raises the question. Explaining why Bangladesh lost so badly, he blamed the batting. If we look at the batting in both innings, the top order did not do well. It's not just that we're in trouble. Both teams have had top-order problems. This excuse is not correct. Need to work on how to do better. I hope to do well in the next match.'
According to Shanth, how they think, how they plan will become important before the next Test, 'How we prepare well, how we think is important. This match is bad. We did not play well as a team in all aspects. We had our chances but couldn't take them. I am focusing on how to be more prepared for the next match, not to make small mistakes.'
