The ace all-rounder also said that for this they have to perform better with the bat and ball.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to do well in every department to win Tests against Australia. We have to do well in batting along with bowling,\u201d said Shakib Al Hasan, who is still No. 1 Test all-rounder in ICC rankings besides one-day and T20.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re always a tough opposition wherever they go and whatever they are. They\u2019ve every capability to adjust themselves so quick with the condition wherever they go round the world. None can do better it than them,\u201d Shakib told reporters after their intense practice session, just three days prior to the much-awaiting Test series.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo they\u2019re tough opposition for us though they\u2019re a bit inexperienced side. Along with that, their recent performance in India and Sri Lanka were not up to the mark. Hopefully they\u2019ll continue their sub-continent performance in Bangladesh also and that we will do better,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Even though Australia is far better than Bangladesh in terms of strength, in-field techniques, rankings and cricketing culture, Shakib Al Hasan believes that the spin bowlers they have will be effective more than the visitors\u2019 spin battery at home turf.<\/p>\n
The iconic all-rounder and so said that they have every possibility to win the upcoming two-match Test series against the top-notch Australian side.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think our spin attack is better than Australia. I will not say it in all conditions but we are better than them at our own condition,\u201d the left-handed all-rounder said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaijul-Miraj have been bowling well since many days. In this series, the duo will do better things for the team\u2019s cause, I believe,\u201d he also said.<\/p>\n
Citing Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Taijul Islam as in-form, the No.1 all-rounder in three formats, said that now they think how to win a match what they used to think not in past.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiraj-Taijul now bowls very well. Prior to them, sometimes Raj bhai or Rafique bhai support the team,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cWhat is happened in past we would not get helpful wickets. Because we had no chance of winning or we wouldn\u2019t think to win at that time. We had thinking to at least draw the match. Now we think how we can win the match. As a result, the edge for bowlers remains more.\u201d<\/p>\n
The spin all-rounder said that they should focus regardless of wicket and environment more on their own performance how they could bat and bowl well against the Aussies team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have no control over wickets. Curator will look into the matter. It should not be right thing for us to think much about it. We have to try to perform better than them at any wicket and environment as it\u2019s our home condition, which are known to us. We should be better to adjust as much as possible,\u201d the 30-year-old Shakib said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be better if the wicket is spin-friendly as I am a spinner. Along with that our pacers, who are adept, have the ability to take wickets. It should not be right thing for us to depend only on spinners,\u201d he thought.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt one point, it\u2019s seen that pacers gave breakthrough by breaking a well-set partnership. It\u2019s big than a spinner\u2019s four or five-wicket haul. These things are important. Even batting will play a vital role in case of winning Test,\u201d he opined.<\/p>\n
When asked is it a chance for them to rout Australia, Shakib said that they will get down for winning Tests against the tourists.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe condition of our team is very good but is this best chance is tough to say because we didn\u2019t play against them in past. I could only tell you when we will play with them. It is not a matter of good or bad. Winning is the biggest matter for Bangladesh team,\u201d the south-paw told in response to a media query.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
