Shakib normally has 2 trademark deliveries
1) The one which he bowls from wide with an angle and gets it to turn. Batsman expects the ball to keep travelling at the angle, but the turn catches him in front getting him bowled, stumped, or even caught behind
2) Arm ball, where the batsman is trapped in front.
Generally he uses these two deliveries to pick up his wickets. But i cant remember the last time he bowled these.
Its a real concern. Could it be his injury? Could it T20 spoiling his game? Or could be the absence of Salahuddin (Who was instrumental in the success of our spinners)?
