The Bangladesh team management, driven by that premeditated decision, made a few more mistakes that included packing the attack with pacers when they should have included a left-arm spinner against so many right-handers on a slow turning wicket. Besides, the decision to pick Taskin Ahmed and Shafiul Islam ahead of Subhashis Roy and Rubel Hossain was more emotionally driven than logical.

But to be honest it is not the pace and bounce that the Tigers manfully thwarted in Wellington that is cause for concern, but that self-imposed defensive mindset that they need to overcome.
