And as soon as I say this he says what he should've been saying all day.

BARNES OUT
The back angle is deceptive IMO. The part that looked like a white line was actually the front part of the shoe, which was barely behind the line. Should've been a not out.

That was really similar to the Smith decision in the first Test. I would've given both not-out, but would've been happy enough with both being out. One being out and one being not out is a bit dire IMO.

I got carried away at the time I'll admit. He came through the ranks very promising and I remember once long time back how Shakib said Shabbir being his favorite among the bunch. Big hype around him as the cleanest hitter in the country and all that. I was impressed by his loi stuffs. Also if I am not wrong I remember HP coach (forgot his name) also called him as a great talent. Blend all this with Chandika's immense backing, I thought he's the one to watch out for. He had some success at #3 in t20s and was moved up the order in ODIs too. Then he got exposed. Its very much clear now that he does not have the mental strength yet to build up innings also short technically playing away from the body and angled batI felt this was extremely obvious at the time. I remember talking to Athlai on Facebook about how Bangladesh didn't actually need to rush talented batsmen to like Shabbir and Sarkar into the Test team and that was it a sign of their improvement as opposed to previous eras when they had to take endless punts on young bats. And then they went and picked them straight away anyway.
Admittedly I think the argument you made that I argued against was "Shabbir is our most talented bat and should bat #3 in ODIs", I don't think you actually said anything about whether he should play Tests or not. I was really surprised that you regarded him the most talented though.

It's a cricinfo problem I think.
