That speaks for Siddons as a batting coach, not a head coach. Its also difficult to say that the 151 would not have come without Siddons.

Shakib, Tamim, Mushy all seem to have the right work ethic (I think Mushy works hard on keeping but he just doesn't have the Skill required and he is probably instructed to focus on batting more than keeping) and probably will/would get to their best anyways (Siddons or not).

Siddon's deficiency is in not utilizing the players to their strengths. The batting line up and the stubborness to change it according to situations is a testament to that.
