Halsall's 'expectation'

Sports Reporter
Bangladesh's newly-appointed fielding coach Richard Halsall has said that he wants to help improve the players' 'expectation' and 'physical' levels on the field.
The former England assistant coach was earlier signed to work with the Tigers only for the WestIndies series. Barely a month after the end of the tour, he signed a two-year contract with the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
Having observed the Tigers for a month, Halsall mentioned a few areas where he believed the national cricketers could improve on the field.
"There is room for improvement in our physicality, so that our diving and sliding can get better quickly. But in general the commitment was excellent throughout the Caribbean series," Halsall told reporters at Mirpuryesterday.
Having worked for England for six years, Halsall was a key member in Andy Flower's backroom staff. When asked about the most visible difference that he observed between the fielding units of England and Bangladesh, he replied, "Expectation is the big one. Skill-wise I have not seen any difference. One of the only differences we will see is in the level of expectations; things like diving or sliding, which is not here at the moment."
According to Halsall, a better expectation level on the field could have churned out a better result for the Tigers in the West Indies.
"The expectation level affects your body language on the field. So when you have not won many games and you miss an opportunity, you think you have just lost a chance to win the game.
"Whereas in reality you will get or create another opportunity. Rather than thinking that our opportunity is gone, the mindset should be to create another one," explained Halsall.
The Zimbabwe-born coach plans to introduce more intense fielding drills in the coming days.
"I have been used to shorter training sessions, but in those we work hard physically and are very intense so that will be one of the changes.
"They won't do it for long hours, but when they do something, they will do it with a much higher intensity. So the idea will be for them to train very hard; it makes their playing easy, ” said Halsall.
Apart from a few missed stumping opportunities Bangladesh'sfielding did not notice any glaring errors in the last series.
Their previous series against Sri Lanka though, saw them fumble aplenty. The Tests and the ODIs saw the Tigers miss at least 15 opportunities.
A rough estimate shows that the spilled chances led to the hosts giving away at least 400 runs in Tests and 176 runs in the first two ODIs.
The performance was one of the reasons why the pressure mounted on their last fielding coach Corey Richards. With a seemingly better profile, Halsall is expected to do a lot better. At the moment though, he has to deal with a team that is going through one ofits leanest patches in international cricket.
A cheerful Halsall - who jokingly took a dig at Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's fitness levels and thought that the BCB president was overlooking the training session from a chopper above the stadium -- though wants to take one step at a time
Ashe puts it," One catch can take us to the next round."
