Yes I agree, I was also very surprised why Shakib decided to bat first. Even the commentators were surprised too. We definitely should have bowled first and get a read of the pitch that way our batsmen would have known what kind of pitch to expect. Honestly speaking NZ bowling was good but nothing extra ordinary, yet our batsmen looked lost and were completely mistiming their shots.
I think with the pace bowling line-up currently have, we should always bowl first whenever we win the toss. Shakib and management needs to realize that he is not Ricky Ponting and we are not Australia.
