Bangladesh batting stuck in the archaic rhythm

“Ben Duckett cost them (England) the game … He scored too slowly, friend … They should have reached at least 380,” said South Africa Herschelle Gibbs batter on Duckett’s tickets after England lost her first trophy match against Australia in Lahore last Saturday, despite publishing 351 by eight for eight, the highest total competition The story, only for Australia for Australia for fell with five wickts and 15 ballets.

The fact that the 143 Duckett balls will be considered “too slow” says a lot about how the demands of modern Cricket have changed.

And this is where Bangladesh Cricket seems to have lost the plot. His hate approach not only reflects a lack of understanding of the current demands of the game, but also highlights his inability to adapt to a sport that has become more and more accelerated in the last decade, regardless of the format.

The Tigers entered the Champions Trophy in the hope of winning the championship, but they have already been eliminated after suffering comprehensive defeats in their two games, against India and New Zealand.

Bangladesh has played a total of 340 knit balls in both games in the Champions Trophy so far, most for any team in the competition.

However, it is not the fact that 56.67 percent of the general deliveries faced by the Tigers have resulted in scoring shots that weighed Najmul Hossain Shanto and his team. More importantly, the modern Cricket demands the ability to compensate for the points in a way that makes them insignificant in the broader image: New Zealand gave the excellent example when they published 320 races in their 60 -run victory over the hosts Pakistan in the opening of the tournament despite playing 140 points of points, only 19 less than what Bangladesh had when they handled only 228 against India.

In the 11 hate they have played in the last 12 months, Bangladesh has hit first times, but he could only cross the 300 racing mark only once, and even then, it was a loser cause against Western Indies in St Kitts in December 2024.

The other seven teams that participated in the Champions Trophy played more than 10 games during the same period and reached the threshold of 300 races at least twice. England, the pioneers of the ‘Bazball’ style of aggressive Crick, made north of 300 most of the time, six times.

These numbers reveal a clear change in Odi’s strategy, a transformation that began more than a decade ago.

The old tactic of keeping the wickts in the hand for a late flowering is no longer viable. The ODI format, revitalized by the innovation of Crickt T20 and T10, now requires scoring at a rate even greater than the 115.38 Duckett attack rate when the launch, conditions and the situation of the party allow it.

At a time when tickets such as Duckett’s are criticized for not being aggressive enough, the 118 Bidoy Balls of Towhid (against India) and the 77 of 110 bowling of Captain Shanto (against New Zealand) will pass unequivocally.

Therefore, a team that continues to repeat such outdated game patterns is inevitably destined, as well as the former batter of India, Virender, Sehwag, completely ruled out any possibility that Tigers win against India.
