Convert Those Starts: Hemp Wants Bangladesh Batters To Score Big In Second Test Vs West Indies
Liton Kumar Das: Former Bangladesh batting coach David Hemp opined that the batters need to convert their starts to big knocks after a poor show in the second innings of the opening Test against West Indies in Antigua. Bangladesh were reeling at 109/7 at stumps on Day Four while chasing 334. West Indies are just three wickets away from taking a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.
The hosts declared their first innings for 450 runs on the back of contributions from Mikyle Louis (97) and Alick Athanaze (97) along with Justin Greaves' maiden Test hundred. In response, Bangladesh declared at 269/9 with neither Mominul Haque (50) nor Liton Kumar Das (40) or Jaker Ali (50) could make a big hundred. Taskin Ahmed bagged six scalps to bundle out the hosts for a paltry 152 in the second innings but Bangladesh batters lost the plot after failing to better their first-innings performance.
"That's a part of batting as well (converting the 50s into 100s). Getting a start, and once you get a start convert those starts. So that's another part of batting. As a batter you want to score runs and to do that you gotta get in and once you get yourself go on for as long as you possibly can," Cricbuzz quoted Hemp, who was recently succeeded by Mohammad Salahuddin as the batting coach of Bangladesh, as saying.
