Bangladesh\u2019s spin coach Sunil Joshi was not fazed by the team\u2019s premium spinner Mehidy Hasan\u2019s failure in New Zealand condition as the off-spinner leaked runs in abundance to make the task easier for the hosts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mehidy, considered as leading spinner of the side in absence of Shakib Al Hasan registered a worst economy rate in the first innings of New Zealand, conceding 246 runs in 49 overs, reports BSS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He though claimed two wickets, out of the 1371 instances when a bowler has bowled 45 or more overs in a Test innings, Mehidy\u2019s economy rate is the worst.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 246 runs that Mehidy conceded are also the most leaked by any Bangladesh bowler in a Test innings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all challenges for the bowler. Especially for Miraz (Mehidy Hasan, he is a youngster,\u201d Joshi said after the third day\u2019s game of the opening Test at Hamilton. \u00a0\u201cHe will learn throughout the years. We have seen some of the bowlers name on the list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Harbhajan (Singh) we have seen, we have seen Anil (Kumble), and we have seen quite a lot of players who have struggled. So obviously we have to give that much leverage to our young bowler. I am sure he will come out successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Four of the Bangladesh\u2019s frontline bowlers conceded more than 100 runs in the first innings of New Zealand as they posted a national record of 715-6 before declaring their innings. Bangladesh ended the day on 174-4, still trailing by 307 runs to make New Zealand batting second time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joshi was sympathetic towards not only Mehidy, but also tried to console the three frontline fast bowlers-Abu Jayed, Ebadat Hossain and Khaled Ahmed who combined delivered 87 overs to take just one wicket.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s very thin line,\u201d said Joshi. \u201cMost of the western team comes to the subcontinent pitches, they always struggle when the ball is spinning. So it\u2019s again, how you interpret, how you look at it, what sort of condition you look at.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the same time he emphasized on to bowl in right areas, something Mehidy and other pacers failed to do so far.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201dWhen you bowl to the top order batsmen on a first day pitch, you need to be very discipline. As a finger spinner you don\u2019t have much choice on the first day pitch. So you need to bowl right areas, hitting good length and be consistent and give support to the first bowling options,\u201d said Joshi.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The former Indian spinner believes that lack of proper preparation was the major reason behind their failure in New Zealand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201dIf you look at the conditions and what we use at home, you need to have e good preparation. If you look the preparation coming into this tour was\u2026 all the national team players were playing in the BPL,\u201d Joshi insisted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not blaming that. But they did not have the ideal preparation. We are not complaining about that. Again depends on individual. You look at Tamim, what Tamim did, he adapted to the conditions, right? It\u2019s again up the players, individual players how you take it, how you prepare yourself,\u201d he said adding that mindset play a big role in their performance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201dWe need to change our mindset how to play this part of the world especially in Test cricket,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
