They seem to be the words of a man lacking in confidence, but Shakib believes it's self awareness from a man who knows the limitations of the team and someone who is practical.

I wonder if it has been inculcated by Siddons himself. Hate to be a jerk of a Freudian shrink here and excuse me if I am coming swinging in brutally honest words but.... Does Siddons himself feel that way about
his "limitations" for not making it big in ODI arena? But I hope to hell I am wrong. Because if I were there, I'd ask Shakib to define "practical"... at least Ash wasn't bounded by limitations of "practicality" and played more fluidly.

Can't wait for Masri to return and take the leadership.

I can't accept this type of mindset. I respect Dav Whatmore for his work on changing the mindset of Bangladeshi boys. Siddons is doing fine with the techniques, but he is not a motivator. I thought Chacha would solve the motivation problem, but I am really disappointed. Technique is at best 50% in any sports, the thirst to win constitutes the rest.

This mindset is not acceptable. He must change it if he wants to be successful. Period.

Complete agreement.
