How this guy actually studies issues in Test cricket is bizarre

What a weirdo

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This will be hilarious if Pakistan loses and gets bundled up by spin.

Pure karmic redemption. That's what you bozos get for curating pitches against the might Bangladesh and Nepal.

You called it. Bundled out by Shakib and Mehidy.

Tbf bro, I said it as a joke, not a prediction .

I was 99% sure it was a draw, Pakistan is the only team that can turn my sarcastic jokes into reality.

But yeah I can't really take credit, don't have godly insight, just that Pakistan is turning me into a prediction guru cause that's how bad the team is lol.

Exactly

I’m pretty good with predicting Pakistan losses but even I couldn’t see this one coming. This by far is the most stunning loss even for the most realistic of Pakistan followers. Borderline suspicious

 

[gani999]

either that or on our pathetic excuse of snake pit bunsen burner pitches that turn from 1st ball 1st session 1st day...
if you thru in that Tajiul guy into this BD bowling attack- our guys will have their hands full...

True, but don't forget that Siraj and Bumrah will be much more devastating on any bunsen burner pitch. And Shami is likely to recover in time for the Bangladesh series too.
The tests are going to be played in Chennai and Kanpur. These are normally the kind of pitches that would inspire Nitin Gadkari.

 

[gani999]

You mean the day India fluked a final after doing their best to choke yet again?

Dr. Mamoon, how much we have been missing you!
Has your clinic run out of Burnol?

The ideal approach with Bangladesh is to prepare green seamers with unpredictable bounce. Like that 2019 tour where Ishant, Umesh and Shami ran riot and the poor Banglas were almost crying by the end.

Can't see us managing that quality of pitch in Chennai in particular but direction must be to leave as much grass on as possible. Can't have dust puffs on day 2-3. I'd almost prefer roads. We have good enough bowlers and enough experience to win even on those.

Please keep up.

This is not 2019. BD also have pacers now who can take advantage of green top pitch.

As a matter of fact, BD currently have a better pace attack than spin attack.

Sure. Let's see if they're able to trouble Indian batters.

I don't grudge Bangladesh their improvements but in India, you'll be playing the consistently best test side of last 5 years who hasn't lost a test series at home since the beginning of time and against whom sides like Australia struggle to win a test.

A different level (no universe) of challenge than bowling to the likes of Shan Masood and co.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shoriful will run through Pakistan on a green top

I don't know about that but BD pace attack is now better than their spin attack. Green top would suit the pacers.

Shoriful, Ebadot, Taskin, Hassan Mahmud, Tanzim. Nahid Rana is raw but he is pacy (can reach 150 KMH).

These guys were working with Allan Donald not long ago.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

As a fan of good pace bowling, am excited to see these new BD pacemen. given the right training - why can't guy like nahid Rana develop into something awesome? dude is young, has the pace, physique , a good rhythmic action and if handled properly , if he learns to reverse, how to set up a batsman - he can lend adifferent dimension to BD. even Hasan looks to be promising, maybe he can develop into someone like neal wagner -who knows? Feel BD have good promising guys like Ibadot, taskin, Fizzer, that U-19 guy - cant remeber his name and also a decent spin attack including Taijuil.
All i am saying is as an indian i hope we dont be too overconfident and get a rude surprise if we make a green bouncy or a bunsen snake pit as BD potentially have the attack to exploit such wickets.
There's some fantastic young pacemen coming along in Aus about 8 new guys as well, whereas india has umraan, kuldeep sen, yash thakur, Rajvardhan hangargekar, Mayank yadav- some of these shold break through very soon.

Pakistan and Bangladesh penalised for slow over-rates in Rawalpindi Test

Pakistan have been fined 30 per cent of their match fee and penalised six ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points while Bangladesh have been fined 15 per cent of their match fee and penalised three WTC points for maintaining slow over-rates in the first Test in Rawalpindi.

Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates ICC Panel of Elite Match Referees imposed the sanction after Pakistan were ruled to be six overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration, while Bangladesh were three overs short.

In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.

In addition, as per Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short.

Captains Shan Masood of Pakistan and Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh pleaded guilty to the offences and accepted the proposed sanctions, so there was no need for formal hearings.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been fined 10 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct in the Rawalpindi Test.

Shakib was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match.”

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Shakib, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 33rd over of Pakistan’s second innings on Sunday, when Shakib threw the ball towards the batter in an inappropriate manner, the ball going over Mohammad Rizwan’s head to the wicketkeeper.

Shakib admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Madugalle, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Adrian Holdstock, third umpire Michael Gough and fourth umpire Rashid Riaz levelled the charges.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two.

Docked 6 points

So Pakistan cannot virtually qualify for the final either?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This punishment is far too harsh for being slightly behind schedule in a game that finished early and finished with a result.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

This will be interesting. We have no chance against you lot in a pitch like Rawalpindi. India can out bat out bowl us.

Green pitch will give our seamers also a chance. Against Ind it's not that of a big chance as Ind batting is better than Pak and bowling as well but still green pitch will present a higher upset chance than any other pitch

BD pace attack although no where near a world beating one but is better than 2019 now.

More misery for pakistan..Now it's very difficult for them to reach WTC final

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Not too long ago Vishwa Fernando, Asitha Fernando, Rajitha, Kumara outbowled your seamers in your own backyard.

Yes they did, even though we lost I still appreciate whoever made that pitch. Bowlers currently are the ones that can win us games. They will not be able to win all time. We are not the Australian attack of 2000s. Many of times opposition will out bowl us like Lanka did.

I don't have much faith on our batsman. Even though they scored 550+ in last test match I don't think they could have scored more than 300 against a better bowling attack like Ind or Aus.

Yeah that batting lineup looks very iffy. Mushy won't play knocks like this every time and he's not going to be around for long anyway. Same for Shakib.

After Sowmya and Litton, Towhid Hridoy is your generational batting talent.

Dude is that good. Not sure how he doesn't make this mid lineup.

Also Shanto seems like the BD version of Shan Masood . Speaks good English but is the worst player in all formats and BCB made him captain for God knows what.

Yes your bowlers are definitely getting better but an attack of Bumrah-Shami-Ashwin-Jadeja plus possibly Siraj or Axar is near all-time great. Up there in Indian conditions with a McGrath-Warne led Ozzie attack in Australian conditions. That's what your batting line-up will be up against on a difficult pitch.

Before this game, I would've utterly dismissed your chances. Now maybe... there's a ghost of a chance.

 

[Shafi]

To be honest Bangladesh actually better team than us. They beat NZ main team in their own soil. They are favorite to win the series.

You are being generous by saying ghost of a chance. I personally don't think we have any chance..but hey man miracles can happen. We did beat NZ in NZ..also almost had you at 74/7

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt highlighted the shortcomings that led to the national men’s team’s shocking defeat against Bangladesh in the first Test of the two-match series in Rawalpindi:

“Where should I start? Playing four fast bowlers, the declaration, the line and length, everything went wrong. I think this is the first time that the average speed of Bangladesh bowlers was higher than ours. They looked more fit than us. Our junior fast bowlers did better than our senior ones. So, there is a list of mistakes made by the team. Where should we start? Who should we pick and blame because the list goes on,”

“Pitch was not the issue. The quality of bowling was. Our bowling coach said that the pitch didn’t turn out the way we wanted. Bowlers also said that the pitch was not good. How does that make sense? especially when Pakistan got bowled out inside two sessions. Their pacers got the wickets of our top-order batters before the spinners took the responsibility in the middle. So, this is a long list of mismanagement and incompetence,”

 

[BouncerGuy]

Here’s how the Pakistan cricket fraternity reacted to the Rawalpindi defeat

"The fast bowling reputation has finished. The debacle started during the Asia Cup. The confidence crisis in this bowling line-up, especially in fast bowling, started from the match against India. Our fast bowlers were thrashed in seaming conditions. Then the entire world figured out that if they are attacked, this bowling attack is not of the same standard as its reputation," Ramiz Raja told on his YouTube Channel.

“I haven’t seen Pakistan go this low in my life. Batting, bowling and fielding is a discussion for another day. But this is a new low in Pakistan cricket. It will be very tough for them to recover from this defeat. They haven’t recovered from the defeat against Afghanistan until today,” Ahmed Shehzad told.

“Surgery is on till death,” Hafeez wrote on ‘X’

“A 10-wicket defeat raises serious questions about the decision to prepare this type of pitch, select four fast bowlers and leave out a specialist spinner. This to me clearly shows a lack of awareness about home conditions,” Shahid Afridi wrote on ‘X’.

“For Pakistan, it’s time to reassess our strategies and bounce back stronger next time. As far as the pitch is concerned I’ll give it a 9 out of 10,” Azhar Ali wrote on ‘X’.

“Unacceptable! Is Pakistan cricket going forward or backwards, is this what we call progression? Congratulations Bangladesh, well deserved,” Fawad Alan wrote on ‘X’.

 

[FearlessRoar]

India’s spinner Ravichandran Ashwin commented on Pakistan’s dramatic batting collapse in the second innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, he said on his YouTube channel:

“The match was in sleep mode for the first three days. Suddenly, Pakistan surprised me with a surprise when I was about to catch a flight. When I saw the highlights of the match, I understood one thing. The proper, tiring collapse on a final day. I haven’t seen that for a long time.”

“Teams don’t surrender in a pitch like this. In first-class cricket, strong teams will bat first and hit big. The wicket will be a batting wicket. In those two days, they will pull off an all-out in a tired state. When the wicket crumbles, they will get all out again. I got that depiction. There is nothing in the pitch. It’s an absolute road.”

“In fact, in the end, Rizwan was staging a fight. I didn’t understand a thing. Naseem Shah played a shot and left cheaply. I didn’t understand what just happened. I didn’t understand a thing.”
