    "editor1": "<p><strong>Indore, Nov 14:<\/strong>&nbsp;More than lack of practice, mental strength was a problem for Bangladesh, feels skipper Mominul Haque after they were flattened by the Indian pace battery on Day 1 of the first test here on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh were shot out for 150 after opting to bat with Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav sharing seven wickets between them. India, in reply, put up 86\/1 on the board, at stumps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The wicket wasn&#39;t unplayable at all or else myself or Mushfiqur (Rahim) wouldn&#39;t have scored the runs that we scored. The problem is that when you are playing the world&#39;s No. 1 Test team, you have to be mentally far more stronger,&quot; Mominul said at the end of the day&#39;s play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mominul chose to bat first, a decision which backfired big time as the pitch helped pacers. The young skipper, thrown to lead the side after Shakib Al Hasan was banned, defended his decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If we had started well, the question wouldn&#39;t have been asked in first place,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On preparations not being ideal ahead of the tour with players calling a strike and Shakib getting suspended by ICC for not reporting match fixing approaches, Mominul said: &quot;Personally, I have played nine first-class games in the last five months and that&#39;s good enough preparation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Yes, what is different is the quality of bowling that we are facing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Obviously, at the international level, it will go up by a few notches. But then you don&#39;t expect bowlers to bowl at 120 or 130 clicks at this level. It is a 100 percent mental thing.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Bangladesh&#39;s chances, he admitted it will be very difficult for them to save the game from here on. &quot;Let&#39;s be practical. They have already scored 80 plus. We are lagging far behind and it will be very difficult to save the game from this situation.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India, who dominated proceedings on the first day, trail by just 64 runs with nine wickets in hand.<\/p>\r\n",
