Down here in the hills, we know a thing or two about pitches that tell lies — our local ground has a patch where the ball either dies or shoots, and you learn to play the bounce, not the name. Watching Bangladesh away is like seeing my father on the verandah after a bad day at the hardware store, stubborn and frustrated, knowing the tools are there but the rhythm isn't. I remember once sketching a forgotten temple near Almora, a place everyone passed by, and a local mason told me the real trouble is not the stone but the *joda* — the mortar between the blocks. That's where you fix it, not by shouting louder.
