Why can't bring Salman or Saim? We'll not take any lead for sure. Just try to restrict them under 350 at least

You want to introduce either of them for an immediate breakthrough or to restrict BD understand 350?
 
Naseem and Shaheen need to get lots of domestic overs to be test match fit. With those two, Khurram, Aamer Jamal and Mir Hamza as back up Pakistan can have good pace attack.

Hardly anyone talks about this and it’s not really that cool to accept that, but there’s very less acknowledgment about how mentally weak Pakistani cricketers are.

Just a little bit of pressure and these boys collapse, it’s not that they take some pressure and make mistakes like their peers do, they just completely collapse and give themselves up to the opposition to flog them.

More than skill levels at grass-root level, we need to make sure the kids coming up have some iota of mental fortitude.

If only they had me as a sports Psychologist. I'd toughen them up with aussie mentality.

They'd turn from spring chickens into mental 6 pack ab brock lesnars.
 
But but but I’m a fan of Masood’s captaincy.

But but but he is the captain Pakistan cricket needed since 2022.

But but but he has improved so much as a batsman since 2019.

:klopp
 
50 run lead is good one on this pitch .. Backup bowlers let a golden chance to slip through, match is still tilted in pakistan favour by good margin..

You want babar as captain who cannot even score 40 runs.
 
There is no better thing in life than seeing the full range of emotions on display during a Pakistani cricket match. I chose that over small man wrestling. @shaz619
 
Sorry , I got that wrong , my brothers. BD are the worst closely followed by PAK at dismissing #6-#11.

Still, very close to each other. #Brotherhood :amla
 
Don’t you worry though, Pakistan has got this. The moment this partnership is over, Bangladesh will wrap up in 5 minutes.

Pakistan to take 100 runs lead and will give Bangladesh 400 to chase on day five
 
Don't think any more wicket fall today. Our players waiting BD to declare which will most likely happen tomorrow after tea
 
I think its 550+ wickets and we missed opportunity. Thanks to Zimbabar and others.
 
Carnage by Bangladesh's mighty No.7 and 8. Pakistan are rattled.
 
Splendid batting this. Both look comfortable to take a lead here.

I still believe the game will go down the wire if there is no more rain.
 
Dasball mania is here and we are all witnessing an all time level counterattack.

:bow: :bow:

Masood is not worthy of lacing Babar’s boots as a batsman. He is not even worth the dirt on his shoe.

Babar is a 45+ averaging batsman with 30+ international hundreds to his name. What has Masood done with the bat in his 10 year career?

He made his debut before Babar and 10 years later, he still can’t get his average above the 20s.

Masood is one of the worst batsmen Pakistan has produced; Babar is one of the best batsmen Pakistan has produced.

If you have a problem with Babar and want to criticize him, that is fair enough, but There are levels between the two.

To be absolutely fair to Babar. Even if you call it a fluke, he led Pakistan to a semi final in 2021 wc, led them to 2022 final in both asia cup and wc 2022.

He had horrible outings in 2023 wc and 2024 wc and his own form sucks and by no means am I advocating Babar as captain since he's beyond crap as a captain in leadership, selections and on field decisions however

Under him Pakistan reached 2 finals, 1 semi final and became no 1 in odi, yes it was against weaker c sides but atleast Pakistan was winning against C teams consistently to get that no 1 rank.

He may be the 2nd worst captain to lead Pakistan, but Shan is by far the worst to lead. Shan against australia showed good onfoeld tactics and leadership, only his own form sucked.

However here against Bangladesh he's captaining even worse then Babar does. The idea of placing saud and Agha in slips is hilarious when these 2 have shown time and time again they lose concentration, Agha got smoked and belted in the face in wc 2023 lol cause he missed a catch and the ball went onto smack dab him in the face.

Again idk what happened which led to Shan's captaincy dropping so fast, but it's probs because his own batting sucks and now it's clearly led to imparing his thinking.

I mean he's the only captain in history so far to go winless, and judging from the next series that are to come, I don't think he'll be getting Any W's anytime soon. Max a draw
 
Pakistan's pitches and Pakistan's team are polar opposites.

The players stamina can't play beyond 40 overs, and the wickets ask them to play out an old-school game of full 5 days, 400+ overs.

Babar is not even good to lacing Miraz's boots. He was lucky to born in Pakistan. Any international team will not select this batter.

One of the problem here is pitches are slow here. So bouncer tactic may not work always without high pace.
 
Looking at the score card. 3 bowlers have bowled 40 overs. Other 2 just 8 overs. Bowlers will get tired soon. Why is that?

Babar is not one of the best batters produced by pakistan even lol.

Saeed Anwar, Inzi, Miandad, Yousaf, ijaz ahmed, Aamer sohail, hanif Mohammad(I'm guessing cause hanif I haven't seen play), Fakhar Zaman are all better batters then Babar at his peak.

The fact remains that Babar at his peak is not superior to these other batters at their peak, and current Babar isn't even better then the likes of hafeez, malik, Haris sohail, Rizwan or saud. He's that badly out of form.

But yeah at his peak he isn't even close to Yousaf. Yousaf was the king of winning games while Babar qith his England, SA, and 2017 Australia nonsense is a meme.

Yousaf has gone not put in 10 of his 15 centuries and took pakistan over the line in each one of them and has gotten multiple 50's to 80's and remaining not out always taking pakistan over the line, Which was never the case with 2019-2021 Babar minus the nz 2019 and India 2021 game.

Only issue was yousaf flunked icc tournaments while Babar has one century in 2019 and good performances in 2021 t20 wc, I concede to that.

Yes he is not even good enough to lace your boots. He is just lucky you had mercy on him & didn’t decide to pursue cricket as a career.
 
Mehidy Hasan is the most un-Bangladeshi cricketer to have emerged from Bangladesh...ever. Is mentally strong , gritty, has excellent temperament, always plays with a positive mindset and is decent to very good in all three departments.

If BD unearths 2-3 such cricketers more, they will become a genuine top 6 side.
 
Bangla batters are making fun of this bowling lineup atm. Easy peesy runs. No real thread from these bowlers.
 
This is pitch is slow. Who thinks this ploy will work at this speed. IT si almost like Pakistan depends on BD batsmen making a mistake.

Tbh, this time I won't blame the nexus, because the bowlers bowling just lost it completly, Except for Khurram, That's shan's fault, Who asked Shan to bowl a pacer constantly?

Stupidity ki had hoti hai? Sham wants another Ihsanullah situation lol.

But yeah pakistan are mental midgets, just switched off as soon as some grit was shown
 
Shan Masood is becoming quite predictable at the moment. A leg slip and a fine leg and Khurram is bowling on Litton's body with 130 kph/s deliveries and he's getting dispatched into the stands. After the new ball spell, he is conceding more than 7 runs per over.

Our players gave up!! They are waiting BD to declare. Most likely tomorrow after tea and we may loose 3-4 wickets by the end of tomorrow
 
LItton has to abandon this shot briefly. You need to swively to play this and it will make the injury worse.
 
Litton is cramping up like Maxwell.

He needs to be there. He can't go off now. Tail can hardly bat.
 
Wanted Pakistan to thrash BD and share the series, but after seeing how BD have played, one has to be heartless to want them to lose.
 
Liton bhai maar raha hae.
:bow:

Goodness what a knock this from him.

Having said that, he seems like he gained weight. He should work on his fitness.

If you are cramping up in less than 2 sessions, that's not a good sign.
