Just look at SL and Indian pitches. Their pitches are also very flat but not as dead as ours. Forget about our spinners, even Indian, SLankan spinners would struggle to get wicket on this CTG pitch. This pitch is soo damn slow that it is not offering any turn. Yes, you are right, we have far far better spinners than NZ but the pitch has to provide some assistance for the spinners to get the ball turn. Now, to make this pitch bit more responsive to spinners does not mean you have to build a fast bowling track.

Slow and low is not a spinning track. Yet the ball did spin yesterday time to time for the kiwi bowlers. Sodhi and Martin.

I think this was a good decision to have a placid wicket. 1) It ensures we get out of this test match with some ranking points (That is the ultimate goal). 2) Given the history our batsmen do not need good balls to get out. Why make it more difficult on them? To draw a match we must play 4+ sessions in 1st innings if we bat second. Spinning or fast track wouldn't allow us to do so.

So even though we have far better spinners our batting is very fragile and thus may be, again I am guessing here, mgmt went with this flown in pitch.

By the way, SL pitches are not better than these pitches. This team is not a one man team. The team mgmt certainly wouldn't make strategies based on Shakib's ability only. On in this case, our spinners ability. Time and again we lost because of our batting even in a spinning track. We may have succumbed to NZ spinners as well. Why take chance and lose points? Ensure we get something 1st. Evaluate opponents strengths and weakness (now we have more data) and go at them in Dhaka.
