Lacked mental strength to counter pace attack: Mominul

Friday, 15 November 2019 | PTI | Indore

Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque on Thursday admitted his team lacked the mental strength required to counter India’s formidable pace attack on the first day.

Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav shared seven wickets between them to bundle visitors for 150 runs. More importantly, Bangladesh’s lower-order batsmen looked scared to face the Indian pacers.

“The wicket wasn’t unplayable at all or else myself or Mushfiqur (Rahim) wouldn’t have scored the runs that we scored. The problem is that when you are playing the world’s No 1 Test team, you have to be mentally far more stronger,” Mominul said at the end of the day’s play. Asked about the match situation, Mominul made it clear that it will be very difficult to save the game from here on.

“Let’s be practical. They have already scored 80 plus. We are lagging far behind and it will be very difficult to save the game from this situation.
