Bangladesh (262 & 185/4) secure a historic Test win by 6 wickets against Pakistan (274 & 172) in the 2nd Test match to clean sweep the series 2-0

Justification he got selected ahead of Ludo eating Sharjeel as a T20 opener, as the later could not score more than 25.
He got selected ahead of fakhar straight after fakhar scored 91 of 46 and took pakistan to no 1 rank.

Brother come off it. I saw the entire misbah era. Rizwam flunked the entire tri series with aus and zim playing at no 4 in t20.

Misbah promoted him to opening, citing that fakhar's impressive performance in the whole tri series does not wipe out his past stats and records and that inconsistency is not justifiable, hence rizwan a more consistent batter should open.

It was a hilarious statement since rizwan was a failure at no 4 in t20 at that point so calling him consistent for 2 centuries in odi againat c team Australia which pakistan still ended up loosing was hilarious.

The thing is pakistan did not play t20 after this tri series cause of world cup 2019 and then in sri lanka series fakhar was replaced by Rizwan. Well truth be told, falhar was dropped for sharjeel first and then rizwan for sharjeel.

Which made no sense in the first place, Why would you drop falhar for sharjeel randomly? Just to justify rizzu > Sharjeel?

Please come off these narratives. You're spreading misinformation to the people who did not witness that era.
 
Yeah I mean the guy who made the difference was Liton Das blasting Pakistan out of the game
That situation demanded a counter attack as he was running out of partners quickly and Das produced it successfully.
This is different
 
We need Sarfraz to return as an all-format captain. He's the most selfless cricketer ever from Pak. Just the right man with right attitude to lead the Pak side. Most importantly great understanding of the game.

Misbah I won't forgive you
Unfortunately lots of fans used to criticise him lots when he lost confidence in his batting whilst he was captain. He can sti do a job as no 6 batsman on Pakistan or SriLanka wickets.
 
Hope this is a watershed moment in BD cricket history. Game needs other teams to get better.
Pak SL WI are minnows now

He will average more than Shan at any batting position
 
history made. Never thought I’d see Bangladesh win a test series away in Pakistan but how times changed, country changed in leadership wise, new direction, gen z zindabad overthrowing the saitan. Now its has had amazing impact in sports for BD, the BD U20 football team winning SAFF competition. Now cricket team wins 2-0 away in test in Pakistan.


This is NEW BANGLADESH.

ALHAMDULILAH. Such a proud moment.

What misinformation you just agreed with me Rizwan replaced Sharjeel. In any case I am OK for Rizwan not to ay T20s but that is a perogative for captain and selectors. Why would you mock his test efforts for that?
 
It was a good test match. Created to the curator for such wicket.

Congratulations to Bangladesh and all Bangladeshi fans. Commiserations to Pakistan.
 
Major Test series wins for Bangladesh.

1. 2009 away against Windies missing entire first XI

2. 2018 vs West Indies at home.

3. 2024 vs Pakistan away.
 
Hope this is a watershed moment in BD cricket history. Game needs other teams to get better.
Pak SL WI are minnows now

Sri Lanka just beat India in an ODI series.

On present form I will not make Pakistan favourites against any team. This team is there for the taking by any team as long as the same loser group of players are eternally persisted with.
 
No, a Bangladeshi helped team to win the series. Playing religious card doesn’t work in Bangladesh- don’t know when you guys will realise that.
Yes ofcourse a Bangladeshi Hindu helped win the series.

Alhamdulillah.....

They see FB and thinks everything there is true. While I won't deny some incidents happening more or less Hindu Muslim are living in very well in BD. At least in middle income people
 
Congrats @Dhakar Pola and other decent BD PPers for this magnificent result.

Mighty impressed by your young pacers, in particular.

Looking forward to a tightly contested test series in India(y)

Also, Commiserations to Pak supporters here (Not sure Gillespie and Kirsten are the answers to your problems).

This series win will give team BD a huge lift and belief going into future series especially away. The Know-how to win away from home, the know how to take 20wickets and bat in tough situations.
 
Job well done. They didn't fumble.

Next assignment is India. Let's see how they do there.

I think we should drop Mominul as he averages only 13 vs India and bring in Jaker or Hridoy, also we have way too many left handers so easy pickings for Ashwin.

Knowing BD, they may get carried away. I hope not but that happened in the past.

I hope they will beat West Indies (away) and South Africa (at home).
 
Zakir intent in this innings gives him a lifeline he stays with the team, but has to score runs 4 innings no 50s just abysmal but getting the team off to a flyer has helped came nerves. He needs to play like this in India on flat wickets.

Highschool boy Mominul is a passenger atm. Team carrying him for his past home record? When the last time he scored 100?

Agreed Mominul is a big burden at the moment.
 
He was terrible.

Seems too much white ball focus has defocused him

White ball focus?

There is nothing special about his bowling. He bowls at a slow pace and is very easy to read and pick of the pitch. Even a spinning track will not help this guy. He is a pure T20 bowler who will only be effective when batters go after him.

He is overhyped and is not the answer to our spinning woes in Test Cricket.

Jaker would be too inexperienced. I wouldn't select him against India yet.

I think these same guys should be selected. Only drop Shanto maybe.

Gillespie is trying to coach Pakistan like an Aussie state team, even pushing them to prepare Aussue pitches and making A team play in Aus. If this continues Pakistan may well become another Sheffield Shield team.

Congratulations 👏🏽 to all the cricket lovers here. Cricket just needs strong opposition to be competitive. We saw a fascinating series here. Bangladesh came out winner as a better team who just showed tough characters.

Let's judge Gillespie after a year in the job. I am sure he is going to give his feedback to the PCB.
 
Sorry picture here. Humiliating defeat at home for SHan and Co.

Liton with mehedi . Without Mehedi it was all over. Without taking anything away from these two i want to say Pakistan has been so poor. Even a first class team would have throttled us from 26/6.

I disagree

Save for 1 match vs Ban A, he's been playing white ball cricket non stop for a while. And he got a rather unhelpful pitch - an Aussie type pitch lol, that helped Bangladesh pick all the Pakistan 2nd innings with pace bowling.

Pakistan shot themselves in the foot with such stupid pitch tactics. They grossly underestimsted Bang pacers, overestimated their own batting and pace bowling.
 
Commiseration to all Pak fans, all the V best for next series.
Congratulations to all BD fans, your team never gave up, were never over awed by any situation, always kept punching back, some wonderful young talent especially the quicks, Liton finally does justice to his talent and most under rated was Shanto -very much like his name- was very calm and composed at all times.
A lot of times i felt this gave me vibes of india in the BGT series in the 2020-21 Aus.
Looking forward to having BD on our turf :)

I think it was a right approach from Gillespie. He should be given time now. Pakistan failed miserably time and again in Pakistani way. Lets see the Aussie way. At least we didn't see a boring test series like Pak vs NZ.
 
Congratulations to Bangladeshi fans.

On a side note, I used to wish that GOI lifts the ban on bilateral relations with Pak so that we Indian fans could relish seeing our team butcher this Pakistan side home and away in Test match cricket..but now even that prospect seems bland.

There's absolutely no fun whatsoever in beating this garbage team.

Gillespie must be saying I scored 200 against this lot and got dropped from Australian team forever. What excuse do you entire team have for me not to drop everyone after 11 of you could not score 200
 
Cup boards are empty even if we replace the whole playing XI the result will remain the same , we have terribly left behind in cricket in last decade or so.

Lolllz.....was he actually dropped for scoring that 200..? was that the fataullah test in early 2000's
 
Drop the whole lot of them, blood the young players, let them take time and grow into test cricket, this is the most embarrassing thing to happen in the history of Pakistan cricket
 
Veterans Mushfiqur and Shakib Lead Bangladesh to Historic Series Win in Rawalpindi

Bangladesh achieved a historic milestone by defeating Pakistan by six wickets in a rain-affected second Test, sweeping the two-Test series 2-0 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Bangladesh had previously won the first Test by 10 wickets after Pakistan declared their first innings at 448 for six.

This victory marks Bangladesh’s third series win outside of home and their first against Pakistan. Fittingly, Bangladesh’s most experienced cricketers, Mushfiqur Rahim (22) and Shakib Al Hasan (21), were at the crease when their side made history. The two batters joined forces at 153 for four after Abrar Ahmed dismissed Mominul Haque (34) for his only wicket of the Test.

In the first Test, Mushfiqur scored a valiant 191 to guide Bangladesh to a commanding 565 in the first innings, while Shakib took four wickets in the match, including three for 44 as Pakistan were bowled out for 146.

For Pakistan, this was their sixth loss in 10 home Tests since their victory over South Africa on February 8, 2021, marking 1,303 days without a home Test win. Overall, it was Pakistan’s 11th loss in 23 Tests with eight wins since Hasan Ali’s 10-wicket haul against South Africa.

This was also Shan Masood’s fifth consecutive loss as Pakistan captain since taking over from Babar Azam for last year’s tour to Australia. It was a forgettable start for Jason Gillespie as Pakistan’s red-ball head coach. With Pakistan’s next Test against England at home on October 7, Bangladesh has left Pakistan with a mountain to climb.

The series loss has also ended Pakistan’s hopes of qualifying for the ICC World Test Championship final at Lord’s next June. After seven Tests, Pakistan is languishing in eighth place in the nine-team table with 16 points.

Resuming their second innings at the overnight score of 42 for no loss in pursuit of a 185-run target, Bangladesh went to lunch at 122 for two and wrapped up the series just before tea as rain stayed away all day.

In the first session, Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam were the batters dismissed, falling to Mir Hamza and Khurram Shahzad, respectively. Zakir was bowled on 40 after starting the day at 31, while Shadman added 15 runs to his overnight score of nine, departing after contributing 24 runs.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (38) then added a 57-run partnership for the third wicket with Mominul Haque to set Bangladesh on course for a comfortable victory.

Litton Das, for his 138 runs in the first innings after Bangladesh had plummeted to 26 for six, and six dismissals, was adjudged player of the match. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, for his 155 runs in two innings and 10 wickets in the series, was declared player of the series.

Scores in brief (Day 5 of 5):

Pakistan:
274 all-out, 85.1 overs (Saim Ayub 58, Shan Masood 57, Salman Ali Agha 54, Babar Azam 31, Mohammad Rizwan 29; Mehidy Hasan Miraz 5-61, Taskin Ahmed 3-57) and 172 all-out, 46.4 overs (Salman Ali Agha 47 not out, Mohammad Rizwan 43, Shan Masood 28, Saim Ayub 20; Hasan Mahmud 5-43, Nahid Rana 4-44)

Bangladesh: 262 all-out, 78.4 overs (Litton Das 138, Mehidy Hasan Miraz 78, Hasan Mahmud 13 not out; Khurram Shahzad 6-90, Salman Ali Agha 2-13, Mir Hamza 2-50) and 185-4, 56 overs (Zakir Hasan 40, Najmul Hossain Shanto 38, Mominul Haque 34, Shadman Islam 24)

Result: Bangladesh won by six wickets

Player of the match: Litton Das (Bangladesh)

Player of the series: Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Bangladesh)
 
Remembering the day, Pakistan were 26 for 6 in a test match against India in India in 1999. From that position they came back and defeated India in the test match. In this match they had Bangladesh 26 for 6 in the first innings. From that position, BD could snatch a win. In fact Bangladesh pulled things back in the first innings both Pakistan and Bangladesh in this test. In 1999, Pakistan won the test in Asian test championship. But in the present year if we have Asian test championship, what will be the case?

If there is an Asian Test Championship now, I think India and SL may go to final.

Afghans are weak in Test. They lost to BD by 550+ runs and also lost a Test against Ireland (giving Ireland their maiden Test win).

Pakistan declined in Test. Bangladesh are hit or miss.
 
It's all over for BD.
Either a draw due to rain or Pak will win.

Possibly one of the worst predictions of all time. LOL.

185 was never enough on this surface. Even against Zimbabwe.

This is a 300-350 pitch. Pakistan probably needed to set a target of 250+.
 
I feel so bad for sarfi? Dude even predicted shanto would sweep, if shan didn't take input that sweep would be a boundary.

Imagine sarfi having to keep and now act as a captain because the captain himself can't lead but is still unwilling to give reigns to sarfi?

That too being forced to defend a score of which he himself didn't even get to bat in. All while rizzu is doing drama bazi in the dressing room.

All Misbah + Ramiz + Naqvi fans need to be ashamed of themselves. How on earth can you all even support Rizwan, Misbah and Babar after this?
It’s amazing how when captaincy is on the line, these guys just pick sarfraz or get him to replace Rizwan as keeper.

I remember in 2020 early on in Babar’s captaincy, we were as usual getting slaughtered in a couple of t20s vs England. Eventually they selected Sarfraz to “keep”. Sarfraz ended up having to run the show because Babar was so clueless.

Why don’t you just admit he’s the best captain in the country and make him captain. Even as a specialist bat. How can it be any worse than having Shan as “specialist captain”

Because Sarfi has been captaining professionally for years, he learned the art In 2007, and 2007 was an era were bilaterals and even under 19 cups were taken seriously.

The vibes back then were that sarginsalvaged some pride considering what happened in wc 2007 and the misbah botch in t20.

And he's been doing it longer then anyone, be it local or international the guy has been captaining for 16 years, Way way longer then anyone including everyone's favourite captain misbah who was a footnote in 2000's struggling to make it into the side.

He didn't just take it up like babar or Shan for fame and then suddenly have no clue what he was doing. The guy has worked with multiple coaches throughout his lifetime and he also knows how to command respect and just understands batters in general.

He doesn't have a degree but if their was a degree in captaincy he'd have gotten already.

Shan and Babar think captaincy is a joke. And just a prestigious position not realising that it's not meant for prestige, it's meant to be the most difficult position to have. You have lead, captain, select, mentor, inspire and ampung other things.

It isn't as simple as saying " Hey you, it's your turn to bowl, or hey you fielder go stand over their"
 
I bet nobody saw this coming. Things are going South way too fast for Pakistani Cricket. Trust this is the rock bottom. For the sake of International cricket, bounce back fast!

Congrats to BD. Guess this win will be able to generate some interests in India for the upcoming series.
 
Should try Rishad instead of Taijul as we have Shakib as the left armer and Miraz the offie
I dont think Rishad is ready for tests..that too against india in India which historically has been graveyard for leg spinners in test.

Rishad is also someone unique like nahid. I.e a leg spinner who is so what decent. I dont want to kill the golden goose in India

I saw this coming however I wrote in my predictions pakistan 2-0 because I thought and felt I personally overhate pakistan.

But hahahahahahahaha, I guess I was right, then I was wrong and then I proved myself wrong and right
 
Batting is still a concern for BD. Too lany passengers in the side. zakir, shanto, mominul 4 innings no 50s. Captain gets next two series to improve his batting or else he needs to be dropped. Zakir and Mominul need dropping. Right hander need in the top 4! Mushy has to bat at #4.
Umm....Mominul scored a 50 in the first innings of the first test and a 80 back home in the last test before this tour... averages almost at 40...our only proper experienced test batter... don't be so bindly biased please. As for Zakir, once right handed Joy returns from his injury, he can open the innings with Shaadman but I still wish Tamim would return to Tests
 
Agreed Mominul is a big burden at the moment.
Dude he just scored a 50 in the first innings of the 1st test, an 80 in the test back home and held down the fort today. Just chill. Jakir has god-awful ugly technique. Can't even survive in T20s let alone in Tests. Hridoy is good but let him focus in the white ball format for now. Also don't forget that unlike our other batters Mini doesn't get to play white ball cricket so he doesn't have any facilities to have a good quality preparation
 
I think it was a right approach from Gillespie. He should be given time now. Pakistan failed miserably time and again in Pakistani way. Lets see the Aussie way. At least we didn't see a boring test series like Pak vs NZ.
That's the problem

Pakistan needs to play Pakistani way not some other way. Amplify their traditional strengths.

A rally car cannot ape an F1 racing car and become one. And vice versa.
 
Guys, it's OK because at the end of the day...Shan speaks perfect English!

What's the next level up from major surgery? Is Waqar Younis the Head Surgeon?

So much to look forward to - here's to going undefeated and lifting the CT25 comfortably on home soil!

I guess we can give him another chance. Not expecting much against India but hope we atleast put up a fight.
