Shakib Al Hasan was asked the question several times in the post-match press conference. When the game started again after the rain, was there any objection to the field of Bangladesh? DLS's new target, the wet ground at Adelaide Oval - was he at all willing to take the field at that time, objecting to something. Or Bangladesh has been forced to enter the field by force!
Although Shakib repeatedly avoided the issue, it is known that Shakib was not in favor of resuming the game at that time due to the field being wet. A source in the team said that the ground was not yet fit for play. That is what Shakib wanted the umpires to understand. At that time, he was not willing to enter the field again.
Not to speak against the umpire's decision. Their decision is final in the game. Especially once the decision is made, it is customary to keep quiet about it. Shakib also did not open his mouth for this reason. In the press conference, he avoided the topic every time.
Once he even said, 'Do I have the power to convince the umpires to do something?' He also said that there is nothing to complain about the decision of the umpires. There could have been another reason for not complaining. The new target that was given to Bangladesh in the DLS system was relatively simpler than the original target. Most teams would have won such a match. But Bangladesh could not do that.
When the umpires decided Bangladesh's new goal in the DLS system after 52 minutes of rain stopped the game, an interesting scene was also seen on the television screen. Shakib is talking to the umpires in front of the dressing room, Indian captain Rohit Sharma is also present there.
Shakib seemed to be unhappy about something in the conversation with the umpires. Rohit probably wanted to calm him down by putting his hand on his back. Later Shakib went back to the dugout. He was surrounded by teammates and members of the coaching staff. Shakib was holding his head with both hands and saying something to them.
On his way back to the dressing room after the press conference, the reporter asks Shakib again what exactly he was talking about with the umpires. The Bangladesh captain again laughed and avoided the topic. However, team sources confirmed that Shakib wanted to convince the umpires that the field was still wet. Playing on this field is risky. But he had no choice but to accept the decision of the umpires.
The fact that Liton Das slipped twice in batting after the rain also proved that the pitch was still wet. Once to take a run, Liton slipped and fell! Later, when he was run out, his speed slowed down while taking the second run. At the end of the match, Shakib did not officially attribute any of this to the loss. Said after everything they should have won the match.
Where the decision of the umpires is final, what else can Shakib say!
