Babar's stubbornness (backing Hasan Ali, Abid Ali and Nauman Ali) may cost us this game.

That's why i think abid should hve been dropped for abdullah not imran. Both imran n abid are aweful batsmen who'll never score runs against good sides. Pak will soon miss butt in slipd
 
Good to see solid fightback from Bangladesh. They probably will collapse later on but atleast they will have some sort of score for bowlers to try put little bit of pressure on Pakistani batsmen, especially if Pak lose early wickets too. Pakistani batting is stronger than their bowling nowadays.
 
On these type of pitches u need a leg spinner and a tear away fast bowler like Naseem
 
Whatever score Bangladesh scores Pakistan will easily get a sizeable lead.
 
Our test fielding side is pretty poor with Abid Azhar Sajid Nauman and Shaheen
 
This Pitch will start to spin very soon...Mushi and Das are their best batters against Spin this is not looking good for Pak
 
Our test team is so poor with no World class players beside Rizwan and Fawad. Babar is walking wicket against any decent spin.
 
Who will get breakthrough first - India or Pakistan. Both team are under the pump at this moment.
 
Very good fight back from Bangladesh, proud of the boys.

I do not think, it wont be that easy, remember Pak have to bat the fourth innings and there is no Younis or Misbah to play spin.
 
Anything over 400 we are doomed. Bangladesh has far better spinners than us. They will tear our batsmen in the 4th innings. Imagine Sakib is playing this test.

Pakistani batsmen besides Fawad and Rizwan are unreliable

We also have a pretty long tail

And we have a bowler whose bowling average is greater than that of your two best batsmen combined

Forget Younis or Misbah, a debutant WI batsman with sub 30 FC average scored a double hundred in the 4th innings vs our team in that infamous Chittagong test earlier this year.
 
Shadab did well with the bat in last match in UK. Why is this trundler Faheem being perfered in Bangladesh? Should have picked Shadab for the variation
 
D&g posters are out in force again lol. It only takes a session or two for them to start panicking.
 
Sajid has spun the ball a lot more than Nauman but has been ineffective because of the 2 right handed batsmen.
 
Honestly I have seen Muhammad Nawaz turn the ball more than Nauman Ali
 
Babar is such a dull and defensive captain. We will not go anywhere with this type of captainship.
 
Ramiz should take some drastic steps in order to improve our cricket. Too many oldie, no-performers and leeches in our team.
 
Abbas would have done nothing in this wicket. Hasan and Faheem should never have played but then again both have 1 wicket each so merit selection for rest of the year....

It’s phatta wicket we needed raw pace here.. missing Butt the fielder already… hopefully get early inroads tomorrow & I fully expect some big scores from our batters if the openers don’t cash in “hope Abdullah gets a ton” then the middle order will surely do , l can see Azhar licking his lips here & if he gets going , gets an 85 from 242 balls then that’s him sorted for the next 10 tests of so…

Dont agree about that compliment about our spinners.
Our spinners aren't that good. Pretty average. They only cash on rank turners. And we don't have Shakib in this test.
The only plus point for Bangladesh will be they won't have to bat in 4th innings. If Pakistan fail to take a formidable lead, this match can be interesting. Though I won't put my money on Bangladesh.
 
Let both teams bat on the wicket before pressing the panic button. We've of course not bowled well but the wicket seems totally dead.
 
The quality of spinners is really low from Pakistan. Sajid has an awful action, his bowling is too slow and he dart the ball in without much flight. How the heck did he end up being the highest wicket taker in last season? Another fraud like Imran Butt
[MENTION=1269]Bewal Express[/MENTION] has been right about all Pakistani spinners


We always had decent spinners in the past, even in the worst time but this is a torture to watch.

Thats right, Pakistan always had world class spinners in the past. But that seems to dried up now. What's the reason ?

Don't know but Sajid has to be the worst spinner ever represented Pakistan. The guy bowls lollypop bowling like women cricket, too slow with no drift and dip.

I think i agree, i would have picked him over Faheem and swapped Sajid for Dhani.
 
Very well done by bangladesh. Amazing partnership.

Pakistani bowlers didnt have any answers and pakistani captain looked short of ideas.

Lets hope pakistan get early wickets tomorrow.
 
I don't expect Bangladesh to win but they can escape with a draw if they reach 500.

Bangladesh should try to bat as long as they can.
 
Naseem and Dahani should have been playing in this match instead of Sajid and Faheem.Dahani generate bounce at good pace.Naseem is a wicket taking bowler.

A bit ambitious, InshAllah Pak bowl them out tomorrow in the first session.

If you think Pak's bowling is bad look at Bangladesh, only 4 specialist bowlers/allrounders in Taijul, Abu Jayed, Ebodat, Miraz and some part time you can say from Mominal.

It's a 50/50 game right now.

77 wickets in 20 matches. Average bowler. No where near Rabada, Starc, Bolt.....
Click to expand...

Starc 20 matches, 72 wickets, average 32
Boult 20 matches, 72 wickets, average 26.54
Rabada 20 Matches, 87 wkts, average 24.56

Shaheen 19 matches, 76 wkts, average 25.25

20th test is in progress for shaheen, till its over I won't include his 77th wicket. I would say he is right up there, not just in tests but if you look at his stats in all formats, he is one of the best in the world at the moment.

Let me just leave this here too,

Wasim 20 matches, 63 wkts, average 26.61.

How is shaheen average with 76 wkts in 19 tests?
 
This is why I would have played dahani becouse he gives you something abit different.

Did nothing of note in the last tour of SENA next one is crucial needs to perform there otherwise he’s more of a low ranked teams bowler who does well against them and minnows.
 
Should have played Nawaz instead of noobs Nauman/Sajid and Naseem in place of Nauman/Sajid or Faheem to bolster batting and bowling not the best of decisions from Babar Azam
 
Lol at people who think Abbass would have made a difference with his 120 km/hr look good do nothing bowling.

Didn't follow the match after 60/4. We're there many drop catches?

Just saw the highlights.
After 60/4, almost every single boundary they hit was on a very poor delivery. And it looks like it was an entire flood of poor deliveries.

Bowling looked all out of place. Perhaps some field placing wasn't very supportive either.

I guess the wicket also has nothing left for the bowlers until day 5 when it has deteriorated and may do something for spinners.
 
Hassan Ali speaking to PCB at end of Day 1 of the 1st Test between Bangladesh v Pakistan:

Screenshot 2021-11-26 204011.jpg


"Our plan was to take wickets up front and we were successful in doing so to some extent, but we should appreciate the way both batsmen played; They played excellent innings and took the game away from us. The ball started to come on to the bat nicely after the first session. This is how Test cricket goes but we will try tomorrow morning to take wickets tomorrow morning"

"Both batters have put their team in a good position, and if we can restrict Bangladesh to 350 or so despite both players being set at the crease then that would be great. Also the way the pitch is playing at the moment, and given that our batters are in good nick then Inshallah we can also score big on this pitch"

"This is a slow pitch which is not a surprise for us as this is always the case in Bangladesh; We just have to bowl in the right areas. We will do our best to do that so as to induce mistakes by their batters"

Terrific fight back from us. Chittagong pitch is known to get flatter on day 5 than day 1. Kyle Mayers hit 200 and Windies chased 395 just a few months ago.

Realistic target for BD will be to get to 375-400 which makes losing very difficult. 2nd innings look out for Shanto and Mominul, both of whom are class batters.

Shanto averages under 20 at home, but 40+ away!! Need to correct that this series.
 
On roads like these you need guys with express pace in your side.

Pakistan probably missing Naseem Shah in my opinion. Faheem, despite his excellent form could have been left out because you don't need the extra batsman on a wicket that is easy to bat on, and his bowling lacks the accuracy or pace that would be far more successful on a pitch like this.
