Obviously we won so it doesn't matter. But having had a chance to sleep on it, here's my thoughts:
Consider this, had we lost that game, would ICC have apologized for the wrong call? Nope, who cares, it's only Bangladesh. And we would be left to lick our wounds after once again being a victim of bad umpiring. A no-ball would lead to a free hit, with only 11 needed off the last over. That changes the game completely.
So I would have supported Shakib. Atleast it would have sent a message that we won't put up with the ICC BS anymore. What would ICC do in response - ban Shakib for a few games and we forfeit a meaningless T20. Oh well. Far worse infractions have happened in the past.
