In my opinion Shamsur is paying for his stupidity in the 2nd Test against WI where in the second innings he was out caught hooking for 39 of 27 balls. In that innings he was hitting the ball sweetly; every boundary was timed well, no ka-edges but then he fell in to a trap and tried to hook another short ball, one that was a bit too high to control. It was a waste of good form. If he had better temperament then a hundred was there for the taking. If he had scored heavily then he would still be in the team now, but as it is he is paying for that innings. Form comes and goes so you have to make sure you take full advantage when you are in good nick.
