More over I have reasons to believe that the coach was forcing shakib to play defensively because he was the captain (Since He Became a Captain). Just what he did with Ash, that might have put Shakib in hessitations everytime he goes to bat, we saw the same with Ash. Incompetent people like JS are always dictatorial, in every discipline.

I hate JS's attitude of trying to change peoples game. This also speaks of his lack of inter personal skills, lack of understanding human behaviours, player's psychology etc. His lack of inpirational capability also support that.

That could be the most reasonable cause of such demoralization of the team. Sakib opted to step down is definitely good for his own game. Atleast he can play according to his strength, like before. Instead of being under pressure to do things in a wrong and impossible way that JS wants.

Mind stating the "reasons?" When did Shakib ever play "defensively?" He has been captain for around a year and all of a sudden Siddons forced him to play defensively? When he got a century in New Zealand it was his brilliance but when he fails it's coach's fault? He gets out playing ridiculous shots out of the blue not playing defensively.
