There is no consistency from the coaching staff and BCB (not surprising) in regards to what they say and what they do.
This test match is an example of how hilarious the contrast is between team selection, pitch rolled out and the organization's goals. For the past year or so Domingo and co. have been stressing how important it is to have wicket taking pacers and grooming them etc for our future in tests. This then leads to our team selection which we then decide to go in with 4 spinners and 1 pacer which pretty much throws out whatever Domingo's goals were. The team selection then leads us to the question of the pitch prepared which was pretty placid and tame, not a turner by any means which was what our management probably expected, but still had something in it but our bowlers are just too mediocre to exploit it. The turner expected then leads us back to 'why?' when we are trying to groom and develop pacers, allegedly according to the coaching.
This guy is amazing. Grabbed all the f'ing opportunity given to him. 200 on debut is no joke. Congrats to WI.
Now coming back to the main problem, just give the god damn captaincy back to shakib. Atleast the guy has balls to call the umpires out for their sh*t show we witnessed and the balls to take the review when its required. From what I have witnessed from mominul, this guy is a terrible/defensive captain. Good player but terrible captain. Hell, even miraz would have been a better captain me thinks

Yeah...well. Make no mistake. There are some dum**f** dimwits who actually thinks hitting six is a sign of arrogance.
By the way, meanwhile Ten Sports is bringing back 20 minute ODI highlights of 1st match to appease the viewers.

LOL, and to top it off, cricinfo publised an article where Mominul said at no point did he expect a loss and does not blame anyone. This guy is a classic example of why not every good player deserves to be a captain. It's sad to say this but even mushfiq's captaincy is starting to look better than this midgit lol.

Lol here is a gem
"We didn't create enough chances, and our bowlers didn't bowl enough in the right areas."
Chances were created, but the slip cordon might as well have been imaginary because they either dropped dollies, weren't close enough (should have moved in closer after so many chances just died on them), or an extra slip wasn't in place.
Not to mention two plumb decisions he decided not to review before they even scored half centuries.
