Shame there isn't a plate competition as the selectors would undoubtedly have liked another look at Finch, Muirhead and Christian against the mighty cloggers before selecting the test team to play Pakistan layer this year

Bangladesh news : No cricket at home for two years - Shakib Al Hasan | Cricket News | World T20 | ESPN Cricinfo

I have to say, it sounds like Shakib is under horrendous stress. To come straight out and say, "I'm just not capable of winning matches as a bowler" seems to indicate that he's really struggling with the expectations placed on him, and may even be suffering some form of depression as a result.

That is a massive case of the wahhhhhhhhhh.

I like Shakib though so I'll forgive him.

I thought that too,initially, but then we have no idea how bad the Bangla press is. For all we know, maybe they were being hyped as one of the prime contenders for the trophy what with it being at home and all. Incidentally, Shakib did actually come out and say before the tournament that the expectations from the Bangladeshi people were unrealistic

He just asked for his fans to not see cricket for 2 years.

The same fans who turn out in large numbers match after match no matter how pathetic Bangladesh are.

These guys are living a pretty good lifestyle. If they have to deal with unrealistic expectations they can suck it up.

Strangest bug.

 

[Uppercut]

Hafeez resigns as captain. Also resigns from vice-captaincy of tests and ODIs. That sucks balls.
