As for the review, Mushy is the keeper, he has a good idea on where the ball is going as well, Miraz is a 18 year old playing his 1st test. Can't expect him to make such a decision.Also, as a the skipper he should be attacking and plan to get England all out as early as possible and not "save" review for future..

Shakib himself is a senior player, if he felt tired he would have talked to Mushy.
And as for Miraz, he had the best view in the house. The direction of the ball was going down leg, Mushy saw that. But after it pitched and spun, it was visible only to Miraz, and the umpire. Its difficult for the keeper to notice that from behind the stump. These kind of the decision(with the ball spinning after pitching and striking pads), is supposed to be made by the bowler. Basically, it was unfortunate, can't blame Miraz either, he was inexperienced
