What was Shakib doing?
With three quick wickets lost and three overs to stumps:
58.1
Sandakan to Shakib Al Hasan, 3 runs, he's a brave man. Goes back deep into the crease and plays a late cut literally off the keeper's gloves. Don't think he picked the googly. Good work by Dhananjaya, haring back to pull it back in
58.6
Sandakan to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR, dropped! Would you believe it? He's fetched the slog from outside off. Hit firmly off the middle but straight to Tharanga. The ball bursts through his hands and into the boundary. What is happening? Are Bangladesh hell bent on committing hara-kiri here?
59.3
Lakmal to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, nearly chopped on. The ball reversed away from length, he played from the crease to a delivery he should have been forward
59.4
Lakmal to Shakib Al Hasan, 2 runs, gets away with another poor stroke. Fetches a pull from way outside off, top-edges it towards deep square, where Chandimal, coming in, lands on his shoulder. Oh, dear. So much drama. He's holding his left shoulder. But coming back to the shot, how poor can it get from one of the best batsmen in the team?
CI: Shakib is visibly fuming here. Don't think he was too keen on a nightwatchman coming in ahead of him.
Was he deliberately trying to sabotage the innings because he didn't like a team management decision or because something happened in the dressing room? If so he has to face disciplinary action. Can't believe this guy has fans. Worst team player.
