Bangladesh (565 & 30/0) secure a historic Test win by 10 wickets against Pakistan (448/6d & 146) in the 1st Test match and lead the 2-match series 1-0

Yeah he left in 2017 and the first thing happen after he left srilanka whitewash us 2-0 in UAE
Younis should have played 2 more years .it wasn't wise that their most senior batters,their backbone of batting retired in the same match. That resulted in a big void suddenly in the batting line up. Almost impossible to fill that gap.
 
You shouldn't have selected Shan as a player and a captain. Rizwan scored 220 runs in this match.
Do I have the power to have my decisions enforced?

70% of the Pakistan regulars would not be on central contracts if this were my direction
 
Losing to Bangladesh in a test match is unsurvivable. Shan Masoods captaincy and playing career will be over very soon.
He says all the right things but if you can't deliver both as an batsmen and a captain you won't survive too long
 
7 wickets to spin. The pitch turned to Chittagong.
This is not even remotely close to day 5 Mirpur pitch. I think they lost due to nerves. Mehidy was unplayable at times. But losing wickets to Shakib was ridiculous. He didn't even bowl that well.
 
Not going with a specialist spinner was malpractice.


How can they misread a home pitch so badly
 
Pakistan has to defend 30 runs here. If they defend it, it will the greatest feat ever in team sports.
 
At this point Pakistan should hope for some umpiring blunders against them so that they can atleast claim a moral victory.
 
Rather then turning this into a KP vs Karachi brawl, I think you should turn it into a brawl about who truly plays for the crest on their chest and who does not.

Fakhar, Saud, Naseem, Abrar and a few others sacrifice their pride for the nation.

Ask yourself if Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen, Shan and various others are willing to do the same?
 
Just woke up and saw the scorecard. Wow! Cant believe this. I didnt thing it was possible as theres not much time left and the pitch is great for batting. Amazed. Well done BD bowlers.

I honestly believe the only way to fix pakistan cricket is to hire you as PCB director, PCB coach and PCB selector..

No joke, seriously what are their credentials when their hiring people who have zilch understanding of the modern era or even cricket as a whole?

Might as well try something innovative and disruptive for once.
 
@FearlessRoar brother I think you opened a thread where there was a poll where options were Pak will win BD will win and it will be a draw.

I quoted that poll and said cows will fly would have been a better poll option than BD will win. I need to apologise to you. And believe me I am so happy to apologise
 
30 runs is mere formality for lowly ranked Bangla boys.

Bangladesh should have beaten Pakistan back in 2003 itself had it not been for Inzamam.

Mate I will go full Ghengis Khan on them. I will need presidential security times 100, but I ain’t afraid to p*ss people off to make the changes you need desperately
 
How is rizwan in any way talked about I a negative tone right now. I genuinely can’t believe the people in this thread. Maybe put some blame on the batters that didn’t score? Or the captain that declared early?
Because Rizwan is main target of haters despite being performing in all formats

These people are shameless
 
We've lost this game not because of lack of skills. One reason is not playing a spinner and second a hundred run lead that led to slight pressure on batsmen and they just wilted.
Remember we declared in first innings
At the point of declaring the score should've been 550 and not 448. It was evident near the end of Day 1 that Pak foolishly went in with a full pace attack.

On a pitch as such it was always going to hurt them going in with 2 pacers who haven't played a test for over a year and neither have played any FC cricket coming into this format.

No other cricket playing team would throw 2 of their main players back into a format on the back of T20 cricket played over 2 months ago.

Even in the 2nd inns, Pak were looking more to survive and getting out softly rather than look to score or be proactive they played at 2.3 an over instead and now losing by 10 wickets.

This could've been 130-150 lead instead of 30 had they been proactive or looked to be showing intent rather than survive as they can never do either.
 
Bangladesh beat New Zealand in New Zealand in 2022, came close of beating India in Mirpur in December 2022 & now have an opportunity to beat Pakistan for the 1st time in test cricket.
 
I thought losing to USA in T20 world cup be the lowest for Pakistan cricket but It's T20 and such things can happen on a lucky day but losing in test on this road to a team that's at the bottom of WTC is the real low. A Test match loss is never by luck. This is a real low.
 
Winning a test in Pakistan would do world of good to BD cricket team, it needs it badly, hasnt been good last some years in all formats.

Change in gov, change in bcb president and instant cricketing result as such, in test cricket. Alhamdulilah!
 
Innings Break:

Pakistan 146 all out in the 2nd inning.

Bangladesh needs 30 runs to win the 1st test match.

Pakistan have an Aussie coach, he will continue with 4 fast bowlers irrespective of the pitches.
 
Mohsin Naqvi could not resist social media and pressure from ex cricketers when he spoke about surgery. Sometimes you have to make whole sale changes to the team to send the message across to a lot of arrogant, over rated, individual milestone focused players that they are not indispensable.

Seriously tell me, would a brand new playing eleven consisting of the top performing domestic players have done any worse?

Our first playing eleven consisting of Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen, Shadab have been loosing to Afghanistan, USA, Bangladesh.

No wonder broadcasters are telling the PCB to F off.
 
I’ve only seen the scorecard but this looks to be highly embarrassing. Something special, or especially bad, has to happen on the traditional Rawalpindi runway for the match to not be a draw.

There’s something about the 3rd innings in Test cricket - if the team batting second can get up to the first innings total or maybe go past it, it seems to create a lot of weird pressure. For a team that sometimes struggles mentally like Pakistan, on this occasion it has proven to be fatal.
 
Time for official adios as Pakistan cricket fan, only time pass forum where my interest will be

This shameful embarrassing and beyond imagination
No. Now stay and watch this humiliation with your eyes open! Don’t come running back when Rizwan scores a 50 off 40 balls in T20 as a T20i opener

Hopefully post-hasina era will bring more joy and happiness to my brothers
 
Cricket is a game of possibilities.

The team has taken a small lead of 25 runs. If they add another 25, theoretically they can make a match out of it given teams have bowled out for below 50 many times in test cricket.

Nah, should have had a target of at least 38.

Fans like you don’t even know what kind of surgery you want.

Leave the suggestions on surgery
 
Bangladesh scores 2 runs already.

28 to go.

Pakistan need to break this partnership
 
Declaring at 448, who does that on a super flat pitch ? That didn't eliminate chance of a BD victory and BD are winning it here..Minimum 550 should have been scored in the first innings and Pakistan would have atleast avoided an embarrassing defeat here.
 
The so called fans deserve every ounce of this humiliation!

Your idea of surgery is as flawed as your understanding of cricket in general!
 
Fans like you don’t even know what kind of surgery you want.

For simplicity sake when the same group of players have been loosing non stop to minnows for the last two years, it's time to give them a kick of their back sides and touch love. Pakistani players sadly don't get better with experience
 
We will commit surgery by changing the whole team except for

1) Rizwan
2) Babar
3) Shan
4) Chacha
5) Shadab
6) Shaheen
7) Naseem
8) Rauf
9) Saim
10) Abdullah

But sir Naqvi that's like 90% of the current team? What surgery are we doing?

Well you see, We will drop Imam for Hurraira. 🤣
 
Hopefully post-hasina era will bring more joy and happiness to my brothers
This was really really needed for my people brother..after the life loss, currently the ongoing flood. I am proud of our boys. Pakistan might have self distracted but our guys also played with heart
 
Declaration is not the problem. Rather misreading the pitch so badly was the root cause. Going with all pace attack means you are sure it's a green top. Declaring close to 450 also points to the same thinking in the team management

But it was a phatta wicket which gave some purchase to spinners in the last day. Who's fault was that.
 
Pakistan should have atleast scored 500 in 1st innings & then declare.

PCB can't even afford to make a turning track for the 2nd test now.
 
How is rizwan in any way talked about I a negative tone right now. I genuinely can’t believe the people in this thread. Maybe put some blame on the batters that didn’t score? Or the captain that declared early?
There are a few agenda posters who want their own tried and tested failures back in the side.

I wasn't a fan of Rizwan either but he has a place in the side on merit alone
 
Looks like declaring in the first innings was a bad idea, should’ve tried getting over 550.. rizwan was going great. That would’ve maybe downed the spirit of Bd having toiled in the field for so long in the first innings, in such hot weather!
 
They underestimated BD and thought they will dismiss them for 150 runs and then enforce follow on and look what happened. Had they scored 550, BD would have got no lead even if they had score same number of runs and would have no time left to chase this target..Pakistan went all the way to create this victory for BD.

Be specific. Which players need to be kicked out? What’s the meaning of giving a kick up the backside? What does that serve? Keep giving Rizwan a kick up his backside to score useless runs on a highway? What’s going to improve?
 
Don't worry PCB and PR of Shaheen still post yesterday video of Shaheen wicket celebration

They would never do it again.
Lessons learnt by paying the iron price brother.

I think they thought that they would win it. But pitch was so flat that it was surely heading for a draw.

Oh, so it’s a bad idea to declare when your so-called superstar bowlers let Bangladesh rack up a colossal 565 on your home turf? it’s the captain’s fault that your bowlers couldn’t take a wicket even if their lives depended on it. Maybe next time, they can try their luck in a club match!

It could be fixed.

Declaration was at right time. Terrible bowling and horrible 2nd inning batting is the main reason for this defeat
 
Think this is the last nail in the coffin for Pak cricket

Surely it's official it's at minnow status now and not far from pak hockey set up
 
Azhar Mahmood should stick to his words and go with All pace attack in the next match too
 
A lesson for Pakistan that how important a specialist spinner's role is in Test cricket. This defeat is the equally shamefull as against Zimbabwe in the 90s at home soil.

The surgery isn't just a simple chop of players.

Yes players should 100% be axed, but theirs more to it then that.

1) Firstly you've created a system of unfairness, Shan and Babar get their ranks and are never in any danger to ever be dropped, So their is no point to improve which is why they don't get better with experience.

In Australia however everyone is fighting tooth and nail, no one is safe. Travis Head isn't opening because it's his God gifted birth right, but because he is the best opener in Australia period.

He got dropped multiple times by Finch and Warner because he was not good enough, so he got motivated to improve, CA saw this and that's what we have today.

How can players improve when their isn't a healthy created competiton?

Pakistan turns a simple concept of Be the best otherwise someone who is better will replace you, to Be a part of the boy band club and you get free rides.

Their is no motivation to improve and get better, because no matter what happens, Babar at no 3 is mainstay, so theirs no point of a top order batter in domestic performing tooth and nail because he qont ever replace bobby even if he somehow reaches Travis head levels of prowess.

Abrar compared to shadab is like Shane Warne vs Usman Qadir, That's the insane gap in spin quality between these 2 but shadab gets free rides so moot point.

2) Look at the crapola pitches you're playing on? Pakistan players improved while playing in UAE especially when PSL was played in UAE. That's why 2016-2017 featured a competent mid card level odi and t20 side.

Not only are these pitches crap, but international teams are better then us at playing on it, because their use to their own pitches, giving them these halwas is signing your own death warrant even against bamgaldesh.

If a system of nepo is in play where healthy competiton does no exist and coaches have ko power, then their is no motivation for upcoming youngsters to improve, The only motivation they have is to find a way to become a friend and network your way to the top rather then Work your way to the top.

And this environment is unsuited to improving to begin qith.

You want surgery? Prepare an insaan wala pitch with that 55M and actually created system of hard work rather then a system of marketing aka I am the king
 
It was all batters fault. Bowlers can be blamed as well but they were missing a spinner for sure. Shan made a mess of this team.
 
Bangladesh needs to be the brother and captains should shake hands for a draw 🤣
 
Be specific. Which players need to be kicked out? What’s the meaning of giving a kick up the backside? What does that serve? Keep giving Rizwan a kick up his backside to score useless runs on a highway? What’s going to improve?

You tell if you have your own ideas

That was the overconfident on an inexperienced pace attack which is toothless from last few years in Test cricket.
