The best sides in Test cricket have always found a way of upping the ante when things are falling apart. This rare ability to bounce back separates good sides from great sides.

Bangladesh so far has shown that they have the courage to step up and fight and win battles. But they haven't found a way of coming back when pushed to the corner.

In the Chittagong Test, when the team was trailing by 72 runs, Bangladesh needed someone to step up and deliver a decisive punch. Instead, the team crumbled under pressure and was all out for 157 runs.

Mavericks such as Ravindra Jadeja, Ben Stokes, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne are the kinds of players who stood up when the going became tough and saved their respective sides. Bangladesh requires such players in their Test team who can play a similar role.
