Very few men get a shot at redemption within just two months of a disappointment. Virender Sehwag needed four years and 175 runs to restore his pride against Bangladesh while Jason Gillespie had to wait a year and look to his batting to provide salvation. Sehwag had been dismissed for 2 in India's loss to Bangladesh in the 2007 World Cup, which ended up eliminating them from the tournament, so his swashbuckling hundred in Mirpur in the 2011 edition was revenge of sorts. Gillespie had been hit for a six in the last over of Australia's embarrassing loss to Bangladesh in Cardiff, in 2005, so he would have felt glad that his first double-century, which came in his last Test, in Chittagong, was against the same opponents.
It is difficult to find cases in which a player of Bangladesh has made similar redemption. There are very few shots to the glory of the Board and the tendency to the downfall of those that folds under the pressure of return means that the stories are a rarity.
Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh's new captain, was fortunate enough to present a situation similar to the one he had messed up in Harare in August. This time finished the job in style, hammering the penultimate delivery Twenty20 International against West Indies at the time of high midwicket.
In Harare, Mushfiqur fell at the final hurdle after playing a great success. Not much batter Bangladesh can lead to side through the turns stuttering with the ease with which Mushfiqur do in this game. He knocked around each group and released two greatest hits, if necessary during his 101, and could stay alive in series against Zimbabwe Bangladesh. However, with six points needed from five balls, skied a long and was the last man dismissed, giving the victory in Zimbabwe.
Shere Bangla Stadium in National on Tuesday night was a similar situation, although the conditions were warmer and volumes. Mushfiqur came after Bangladesh had lost three wickets for three runs of a new start in their pursuit of the 133rd The additional burden of being captain must have weighed heavily on the 23, who is known for taking a personal failure very seriously.
He pounded them and the two this time, because he was a Twenty20 and only launched a major success after he was confident Nasir Hossain as a partner capable. With 13 to win off nine balls, Mushfiqur guided between a man and the third short wicketkeeper for four. The calmness with which he played this move was not the shadow of the sinister shape, he endured during the World Cup this year. Was invited to the head, especially when one of its competitors to wicketkeeper slot, Dhiman Ghosh, hit a few hundred first-class cricket, but Mushfiqur was maintained.
Its latest resurrection began in Australia when he does not hit 81 in the second ODI, but his effort was overshadowed by Shane Watson 96 off 185 balls in the late afternoon. This time, however, the giant can not eclipse the Mighty Atom, which have begun to celebrate victory even before the ball had crossed the rope.
Mushfiqur of 26-ball 41 was the key to winning the second of Bangladesh Twenty20 in the West Indies, but was also significant was that the recently laid off Shakib Al Hasan and captain Tamim Iqbal of the two vice-captain has been heavily involved in the development of Bangladesh. Tamim and Shakib combined to give the separation of Bangladesh in the first game, which Adrian Barath. Shakib continuing influence of Twenty20 bowler in Tamim was an energetic and outfield.
Chakib with every move was hailed by the capacity crowd, his bowler hat Mushfiqur used smart keys, the distance from his four overs. Mushfiqur remained busy in the field, and as little disturbed when Marlon Samuels began to attack the bowlers, beating sixes at will. Short periods Mushfiqur used its best players in the suggestion that he had a plan, despite the lack of Bangladesh Twenty20 experience. And after his bowlers had done half the job, he finished himself.
