<p>Furious with his bowlers for conceding over 400 runs in the rain-hit one-off cricket Test against India, Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim said their approach made it difficult for him to even set the field for the rival batsmen.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Even after more than 250 overs of play lost during the entire duration of the match, India gave the hosts a hard time by bundling them out for 256 post declaring their first innings on 462 for six.<br /><br />Mushfiqur said that it is high time his bowlers match up to international standards."In countries like Australia and England by the time a bowler comes to this level, he is expected to be able to tell the captain what his plan is or how he wants to set up a batsman so that the captain can set a field. We have a big gap in that area. Bowling on either side of the wicket doesn't help," said Mushfiqur in the post-match press conference here yesterday.<br /><br />"A bowler needs to be consistent so that we can set a field. If we set a field for full length deliveries and he bowls a short-pitched delivery, the captain may look foolish," he added.<br /><br />With four specialist spinners in the side, Shakib Al Hasan (4-105) and Jubair Hossain (2-113) shared six wickets between them as the the rest of the bowling line-up failed to stop the Indian run-flow.<br /><br />"One can't just leak runs at four or four and a half runs an over. It becomes difficult to comeback from there. If an opponent scores 300 to 350 runs in a day, it becomes difficult," said Mushfiqur.<br /><br />Indian spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin (5-87) and Harbhajan Singh (3-64), made their presence felt as Bangladesh batsmen were guilty of getting out to reckless shots. Mushfiqur also admitted the team's batting failure.<br /><br />"It's a big crime when a batsman gets out after scoring 30 or 40 runs on this kind of a wicket. It gets difficult," said the wicketkeeper-batsman.<br /><br />"In Test cricket you need to analyse and know when to go against a bowler and when to defend. It's not as though our top order hasn't scored runs by playing aggressively in the past, they should have been cautious with two off-spinners bowling in tandem.<br /><br />"They made bad decisions and that's why they got out. I guess we can only learn to do that as we play more Test cricket. Our first target today was to avoid the follow-on, but unfortunately we couldn't do that," he added.</p>
