Hi Dan. I think your analysis is spot on and I think Bangladesh just meandered to the end outcome. Another point I would like your input on. Coming into this World Cup they played on low, slow, turning tracks and really did not challenge their batters into either creating or chasing bigger totals (though the score that Scotland put on was neither big nor hugely challenging). I also saw the huge midwicket swipe or the ridiculous dil scoop being the only preferred option to get those big hits. This actually played right into Scotland's plan and some grey matter could have been used by the Bangladesh batters in the areas in which they tried to get the boundaries.
