I don't think anyone is blaming Shakib for the team. Without Shakib at the moment the side would not be even close to what it is.
The overall point being made is this:
1. Shakib could be far better than he is
2. People look up to Shakib, so what he does is often (mistakenly) copied by others
3. A professional team always has to work hard as a unit to get better
4. Before you can improve what you do you have to acknowledge responsibility for it
5. When you are a 'professional' at anything you shouldn't have an amateur attitude to just get by and do as little as you can - however wonderful you are
There are always unique players. There are always those who do things totally against what you would expect. Some have success despite being different. Let's celebrate that. But it is not a working model for everyone else.
I feel posters on BCF are starting to realise the difficulty successive coaches have had in Bangladesh. You can be a coaching success outside of BD but find it tough to make inroads with the BD team.
People who work hard without talent, are a coaching dream. People who are talented but don't work hard, are a coaching nightmare.
