Default PowerPlay Conundrum's Culprit

Many BCers were blaming the timing of the PowerPlay on Jamie Siddons, but it seems its Shakibs fault. The management makes the plan but Shakib doesn't follow when to take the PowerPlay. Inconsistency on and off the field.

Quote:
"Shakib didn't really have a lot of answers for me when he came off as to why they went so slow, other than the wicket was very difficult. I didn't like the running between wickets, didn't like them walking between wickets," Siddons said of the innings. "I was disappointed we didn't go a bit harder after we got to about 160, I thought we took the Powerplay probably six or eight overs too late; I wanted it taken while Tamim and Shakib were in and Tamim got out.
Quote:
"My plan in the brief before we went out was to be 200 at the 40-over mark and see if we can get the last 70 [in 10 overs]. We lost three wickets really quickly so 200 was way out of our reach, and then I pretty much left it up to the captain and vice-captain.
