^^ The Chittagong pitch actually had turns, as much it should have for finger spinners. Problem was that batsmen (ie batsmen with decent footwork) had plenty of time to negotiate the spin because of the slowness of the pitch. Spinners (at least our spinners) need both turn and bounce to be effective. We failed to play to our strength (which is our spin department) and handed the match over to England even before it started.

Don't see why batting side should feel confident about themselves after making scores around 300 in each innings on such a dull pitch.
