This record vs Hetmeyer batting at 3

Bangladesh the first team in the last 128 years of Test cricket
to castle all five top-order batsmen

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/...pe=batting

Guyana's Shimron Hetmeyer was forced to Bat at # 6

Would there be a 128 year old record ?

HAD he batted in his accustomed position of a # 3 ??????

He is currently on 32*
as at Stumps,day 2 !

Consider a # 3 should NOT even arrive at 9.4 overs moreso a # 6 :oops:

9.4 Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Hetmyer, no run, defended on the front foot

9.3 Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Chase, OUT, off-stump flattened! DUCK

8.6 Shakib to Sunil Ambris, OUT, mindless! Have West Indies already given up?

2nd innings follow on : 93

SR 101.08 (1x4,,,9x6s

Top 5 Fall of wickets:
1-2 (KC Brathwaite, 0.5 ov
2-14 (KOA Powell, 3.6 ov)
3-23 (SW Ambris, 10.2 ov
4-29 (RL Chase, 12.4 ov)
5-85 (SD Hope, 27.4 ov)

Again, that 5 wickets down scenario in BOTH innings
shows how bone headed our coach and managemnet is !

WHY knowing what happened in the 1st Innings :
would they NOT : Reshuffle the batsmen and the order for the Follow On ?????

they feel he is best at 6

I get that but it should NOT be cast in stone.
You just had a 1st inning humiliation and dubious record of 128 years.
You are forced to follow on .
You repeat the same batting order in HOPE of a different result ???
poor, very poor thinking by the Coach and Mgmt. staff !
