We have truly become a meme.Pakistan will create yet another history by losing this test.
A historic nation.
could've, should've, would've. None matters.Pakistan could have lost 5 wickets in those 10 overs, that's how many chances were created..how is Pakistan struggling here big time when Mehidy Hassan was scoring runs for fun..
Bangladesh can play for draw. Nobody is going to complain. But if Pakistan plays for draw there will be questions. But they don't have enough time to take a lead and take 10 wickets. They ahve to do something like what Bumrah and co did in England.Not following the match, if BD is able to pile over 500 then it should be a flat pitch.
They have to crack the pitch. Maybe ask the curator to axe it before the 2nd Test.Bangladesh can play for draw. Nobody is going to complain. But if Pakistan plays for draw there will be questions. But they don't have enough time to take a lead and take 10 wickets. They ahve to do something like what Bumrah and co did in England.
The only result I see is a tame draw or Pakistan can pull one of their famous collapses tomorrow.Bangladesh can play for draw. Nobody is going to complain. But if Pakistan plays for draw there will be questions. But they don't have enough time to take a lead and take 10 wickets. They ahve to do something like what Bumrah and co did in England.
You do realise your favourite Rizwan is the reason why this side has regressed to this stage? I hope you are happy to see him flourish whilst pakistan rots?Both these sides test status should be revoked.. Pak making Bangladesh look like Graeme Smiths SA
They won't prepare sporting wickets because bengalis have a better team
They would steam roll us over if the wicket supported the bowlers.
So they played it safe for the cabal and rolled out a phatta and they are still struggling to save the match
I really hope they make a fast bowling wicket. Afridi Naseem will be deadly in that wicket. But so will be our trio. It'll be a good test for Pakistan and a interesting matchPakistan should play a proper spinner next game. Drop one pacer.

Mushfiq is a solid gritty test player. He was inconsistent at times but in the mid 2010s he was so dependable!Mushfiq is far better than our Zimbabar for sure.
Not enough time to lose it. One day left.Pakistan will create yet another history by losing this test.
A historic nation.
I would feel highly demotivated as an employee if my big boss was highly incompetent and a political appointment with no relevant qualification.Yes Naqvi would fire all the boy who perform well on the field.
I mean how long we are going to ignore the fact that Pak team lacks quality, skills and competency.
No manager, coach, director, or chairman can be blamed for poor performance on the field.
True fans support their team in the toughest times.People still follow Pakistan cricket? Wow lol
Rawalpindi, 24 August 2024: Mushfiqur Rahim became only the second Bangladesh batter after Mohammad Ashraful (190) to be dismissed in the 190s as Pakistan were left chasing the first Test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Mushfiqur, who started the fourth day’s play at his overnight score of 55 in Bangladesh’s 316 for five while replying to Pakistan’s 448 for six declared, was dismissed after scoring 191 in Bangladesh’s 565, their third highest total outside home.
When play ended on the penultimate day, Pakistan, trailing by 117 runs on the first innings, were 23 for one after 45 minutes of batting with Abdullah Shafique (12) and captain Shan Masood (nine) at the crease. Saim Ayub (one) was the batter to be dismissed.
Mushfiqur, who featured in the first four-day match for Bangladesh ‘A’ against Pakistan Shaheens, took full advantage of a DRS reprieve when he was on 59 with the scoreboard showing Bangladesh as 324 for six was eventually caught at the wicket off fast bowler Mohammad Ali who ended with figures of two for 88. Mushfiqur occupied the crease for eight hours and 42 minutes during which he received 341 deliveries of which 22 were converted into fours and one into six.
When Mushfiqur reached three figures off 200 balls with 12 fours, he completed his 11th Test century, making him the second most successful Bangladesh batter after Mominul Haque (12).
The diminutive 37-year-old, in association with 26-year-old Mehidy Hasan Miraz, broke the 48-year-old record when the duo put on 196 runs for the seventh wicket – highest against Pakistan to date, eclipsing the 186 runs partnership between Warren Lees and Sir Richard Hadlee in Karachi in 1976.
Mehidy, who was dropped on 52 and 59, was the ninth batter out after scoring a 179-ball 77 with six fours. He fell to Shaheen Shah Afridi, who celebrated the birth of his first child by finishing with figures of two for 88 off 30 overs.
Pakistan had started the fourth day’s proceedings promisingly when Naseem Shah dismissed Litton Das to make Bangladesh 332 for six. Litton, who was 52 overnight, managed to add only four runs to his score.
But then Pakistan had to wait for another 56 overs before finding another success.
After Mushfiqur was the seventh batter to be dismissed, Hasan Mahmud lasted 18 balls for his naught before falling to Shaheen. He was followed by Mehidy and the innings was finally wrapped up when Shoriful Islam’s breezy 14-ball 22 was ended by Naseem.
Naseem turned out to be the most successful of the four-pace attack with figures of 27.3-6-93-3, while Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Ali and Khurram Shahzad picked up two wickets apiece.
Salman Ali Agha turned down 41 overs and remained wicketless, but he will consider himself unlucky as two catches were dropped off his bowling.
Mohammad Rizwan, who scored 171 not out with the bat in Pakistan’s 448 for six declared, accounted for four batters behind the stumps, but was also guilty of dropping Mehidy when 52.
Scores in brief (day 4 of 5):
Pakistan (1st innings) 448-6d (Mohammad Rizwan 171 not out, Saud Shakeel 141, Saim Ayub 56, Shaheen Shah Afridi 29 not out; Hasan Mahmud 2-70, Shoriful Islam 2-77) and 23-1
Bangladesh (1st innings) 565 all-out, 167.3 overs (Mushfiqur Rahim 191, Shadman Islam 93, Mehidy Hasan Miraz 77, Litton Das 56, Mominul Haque 50; Naseem Shah 3-93, Shaheen Shah Afridi 2-88, Mohammad Ali 2-88, Khurram Shahzad 2-90)
Clearly you didn't see the 2021 South Africa vs Pakistan series where pace, bounce and seam movement were consistent features across both matches, as Pakistan outplayed a side with a superior pace attack to theirs.Then Pakistan should make slow seamers and hope for the best, in the short term.
Wickets with pace and bounce will backfire because PAK batsmen are the worst players of bounce.
Err no. Those were not fast and bouncy. There was movement and even spin though.Clearly you didn't see the 2021 South Africa vs Pakistan series where pace, bounce and seam movement were consistent features across both matches, as Pakistan outplayed a side with a superior pace attack to theirs.
I think ramiz raja had done irreparable damage to rawalpindi pitch in 2022-23
Shaheen should have been rested for this series to be with his family expecting his first child.
Even if he says that he is available to be picked.
Grown men with no brains run PCB , that’s how the results are. Young man expecting his first child emotions will take over and won’t be able to present himself in the job.
He is there with the team to bowl 30+ overs and take the wicket of a tailender lol, is that what he gonna say to his son when he grows up, poor Shaheen
lol they have been poor out of the lot. Shaheen bowls full tosses. Ban pacers are much better than this Pak lotI really hope they make a fast bowling wicket. Afridi Naseem will be deadly in that wicket. But so will be our trio. It'll be a good test for Pakistan and a interesting match
Well they can call it rested but actually for poor performances indeed.What is so special about Shaheen that he deserves to be rested? When was the last time he played a test match?
He needs to be given a big kick in the backside and be treated like any other member of the side.
The stands are emptyHeard that Babar can't be dropped as he brings the crowd. What a looser mentality is this from PCB.
Until PCB realize Babar/Shaeen are finished and Shan/Saim/Shafiq not international material we will be around no.8-10 in testCurrent and former captain competing to see who can play more innings in this test.
Babar into his third innings now, let's see if he can finally get some runs.
Exactly!!! Babar is just another hype. Even Rizwan and Saud are better than Babar. Without luck, poor bowlers and flat tracks this guy wouldn't even have 30 ave in any format of games.Azhar Ali > any Pakistani batter including Babar Azam
Taskin averages 51 with ball in test cricket they are minnows we can make anyone look greatBD only have 2 bowlers. They needed Test class seamers like Ebadot and Taskin instead of Nahid and Mehidy.
Costly drop of Babar ain't helping either.
Tashkin and Ebadot are injured. Nahid isn't that bad, he is currently the fastest bowler in BD, you dont see pace like that in BD. he is very raw needs nurturing, he might still come good.BD only have 2 bowlers. They needed Test class seamers like Ebadot and Taskin instead of Nahid and Mehidy.
Costly drop of Babar ain't helping either.
That's unfortunate. But Ebadot is the most impressive BD seamer I have ever seen.Tashkin and Ebadot are injured. Nahid isn't that bad, he is currently the fastest bowler in BD, you dont see pace like that in BD. he is very raw needs nurturing, he might still come good.
Mehidy needs pitch to bowl. if its not a spinning track he is useless. he is a good lower order batsman thats why he gets selected
Then better to take rest from the game and give someone a chance who gives his 100% despite all the adversities.I would feel highly demotivated as an employee if my big boss was highly incompetent and a political appointment with no relevant qualification.
The repeated failures of Pakistani bowlers have been overlooked for the past 3-4 years. They've been hyped as speed stars on social media, despite delivering ZERO match-winning performances on the field. I can't recall the last time Pakistan bowled out the opposition in any format without conceding a significant amount of runs.Nearly every BD bowler looks unplayable, even Nahid and Shaking are troubling the Pak batters. Mesnwhile all Pakistani bowlers looked nothing but toothless..
