Why Shakib is disappointed with Eden pitch

Why Shakib is disappointed with Eden pitch

Rediff.com17 May 2016

Kolkata Knight Riders' left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan rued that their attack, heavily dependent on slow bowlers, is not getting enough assistance from Eden Gardens pitch. KKR's fate hangs in balance after a demoralizing nine-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday. Admitting that their loss was a setback, the left-arm spinner said: "I can talk of myself and I would say yes, we are not getting that advantage (from the pitch). We are a spin dependent team, so we always expect some assistance at home. We have not been getting that till now. It's a bit disappointing for the players." The two-time former champions face a 2015-like situation as they are left to win their remaining two matches to assure themselves a play-off berth, something they failed to achieve in their title defence last year to be eliminated at group stage.
