Shakib thinks batting will be the difference between the teams, that way he has overestimated our spin attack or underestimated their batting. I see, afghan spin attack more dangerous than ours. We should have had a lesser spin friendly pitch or where both Pacers and spinners will have some assistance & gone with 2 pacers against them.

But I think, spinner Shakib will generally prefer a spin friendly pitch unless that's impossible, after all, who wants to make his own life difficult. His preference for spinners happened before too. Masheafe generally preferred a pacy track & preffered Pacers over spinners, may be bcoz he is a pacer. This kind of bias will sometimes work great but sometimes be the cause of disaster.

Then in this context, Only the wicket keeper can be an impartial captain.
