I always considered Shakib amongst the top 3-4 SLA's in the world. Yesterday he showed he isnt. His bowling was woeful, lacked imagination and thinking. He has to figure his bowling out, because its been on a steady decline.

Also Nathan McCullum showed us what we are missing. Now all our front line bowlers have more international and first class wickets than him. But NM seemed to be a class apart. He bowled with a lot of guile and tact. he was using the crease, varying the flight. Also tried the carrom ball. Doesnt fall in the same mold as Ajmal/Swann/Ashwin but was highly effective. Bangladesh badly needs such a spinner.
