And for the Siddons bashers I will reiterate that he is not faultless however you can't blame him for stupidity and mental shortcomings. And like I suggested before a simple change in captaincy seems to have done the trick eh? For on-field performances the onus is on the captain. Shakib may have been decent with field settings and bowling changes but he was a poor man manager. Mash also slipped at times today however he was spot on on how to handle his boys.

As for the negatives well there are plenty of them. A lot of changes are needed in the team. But I am too happy to discuss them now.
100% agree mate, want to see those so called fans who even went on to say BD are a disgrace to world cricket.

Still I won't defend siddons, either he's his strategies are way too flawed, or he don't have any strategies, either way, that sucks But the middle order batting has improved a lot, credit must go where it's due. And apparently the Schudi is right on money from his first tourney. Hope they'll be able to win more consistently now.
