'Run-outs are unacceptable'

Naimul Karim
Mahmudullah Riyad has blamed Bangladesh's poor batting display at Mirpur yesterday on the 'casual approach' of the players. He also reckoned that the hosts would face a difficult time if the Test continued till the fifth day.
"In my personal opinion, none of the run-outs were acceptable, especially at this level of cricket. It may have taken place due to a casual approach. If we were a bit more careful, then these mistakes would not have taken place," said Riyad at the post-day press conference yesterday.
Run-outs were a key feature in yesterday's game as it interfered with Bangladesh's momentum. Mominul Haque failed to ground his bat in a comfortable single; Shakib Al Hasan was involved in a mix-up with Riyad; while Shahadat Hossain surprisingly stood content after placing his bat on the crease line and not inside it.
"I can assure you that Mominul was very upset about the mistake that he made. And with regards to Shakib's, I was more at fault because I made the call. He had started before 1 managed to understand that the single was not there. It was a little late," explained Riyad.
Apart from the run-outs, the fact
that three of the Bangladesh batsmen gave in after scoring their half-centuries, also hurt the hosts.
"Even though they bowled in good areas, the conditions were good for batting. We should have batted with a lot more patience, especially those who scored the 50s. There were problems in our shot making and decision making. That's when you should ideally be cashing in," said Riyad.
The 28-year-old himself played a risky shot that led to his downfall. He placed his feet across the stumps to sweep a delivery turning in.
“I made a mistake before tea. I should not have played that shot. I was timing the ball well. Playing that shot was not appropriate," said a disappointed Riyad.
Riyad further said that the Tigers were not relieved despite having managed to take a slender lead.
"We are concerned. Everyone knows that if the lead ends up being a lot in the fourth innings, it will be difficult for us. If it goes into the fifth day we may be in trouble so we have to restrict them to as less a score as possible... maybe around 150 to 200."
Riyad also added that the visitors had saved at least 20 to 25 runs through their fielding, something that the hosts will need to replicate if they want to win this Test match.
