It seems to me (after watching a number of Bangladeshi spinners in action), the slow bowlers in Bangladesh are a bit too slow. That's why they're not as successful as others from other cricketing countries. They have good spinning abilities. But their extreme slowness gives the batsman ample time to change their shot. Lack of variation is another huge deficit. So for any batsman, it takes very few balls to read the bowler and then he can bat easily. Finally the lack of consistency...in a over, Bangladeshi bowlers have to many wild balls (balls that are not according to the field placement, too much space given to the batsman, etc.). In my opinion, these are the main reasons for the lack of success for Bangladeshi slow bowlers. The cricket minds of Bangla cricket may shade some new lights on the topic?
