Dhaka is usually known for moderate turn, uneven low bounce. Probably after seeing Windies batsmen struggle against spin, the instructions were to prepare a pitch that would turn like crazy. The ball turned so much, it worked against us. Even deliveries pitched outside off were turning away from the leg stump. Traditionally our spinners rely a lot on LBW's. Given the amount of turn, automatically the LBW option gets negated. A reason why Razzak and Gazi couldnt pick wickets, despite bowling so well.
Big problem with our team management, curators, players. We dont understand what middle ground is. Either we ll prepare a dead wicket with no turn, or we ll make a wicket with lethal spin, so lethal, our spinners cant take advantage!
