Bangladesh head coach Domingo said that it was difficult for Bangladesh to take the third seam bowler as they don’t have the batting line-up like India.

Opener Mayank Agarwal struck a double century helped India dominate against a below-par Bangladesh at Indore Test on Friday as they end the second day of the first Test at Holkar Stadium on 493-6, stretching the lead to an imposing 343 runs.
Agarwal made 243 that guided India in a driving seat as they are staring victory inside three day considering the way host batted in the first inning of the Test match.
India added 407 runs on day two, plundering 190 runs in the last session in a six-hitting spree, to leave Bangladesh in a position of a humiliating innings defeat.
Before the bails were drawn for the day, Ravindra Jadeja was batting on 60, with Umesh Yadav on 25.
Agarwal’s double-century was more punishing for Bangladesh because of the life he got on 32 on day one when Imrul Kayes dropped him at first slip. He utilized the life with full effect, sending the Bangladeshi bowlers at receiving end with his boundary-hitting spree. He overall smashed 28 fours and eight sixes in a knock in which he faced 330 deliveries.
Abu Jayed was the only shining spot of entire Bangladesh team, gave them a glimpse of hope when the second day as he displayed an intriguing show of swing bowling to dismiss overnight unbeaten batsman Cheteshwar Pujara for 52 after India began the day on 86-1.
‘’I think it is easy to say when you have six batters who are all averaging 45 or 50. You look at the number of the Indian batters, but unfortunately we don’t have those numbers in our batting line-up. We are playing that extra batter to make up for that. It is a catch-22 situation. If you don’t pick up wickets, people say why you didn’t take the extra bowler. Hindsight is a great sight, guys,’’ said Domingo
“Hindsight is a great thing. We definitely considered playing three seamers but that leaves us very light with the batting line-up. We probably should have played three seamers but it hasn’t worked out for us,’’ he concluded.
