Bangladesh v Pakistan | 2015 World Cup | Warm-up Match | 9th February 2015 | Sydney

[ahanank]

Haris Sohail 3 overs for 4 runs, Tamim 2 (12), maybe we're not so bad after all

Or he just has a liking for the ghost now...
They made a deal, I guess.

 

[Strike Rate]

The ICC website says that Haris opened the bowling. The ECB website says it was Irfan. Is it not easy to tell the difference between the two?

Haris opening the bowling sound strange to me but ICC may have better info than ECB?

 

[haiderva]

I don't understand the logic behind having Maqsood open. He is such a phenomenal middle order batsmen. If you are bringing in Nasir Jamshed as an opener.. then why not let Maqsood play in the middle.. a position he will play in when Jamshed joins the team anyway? Why not let him get accustomed to the role he will be playing?

 

[bladerunner]

I think Bangla batsmen are taking batting lessons from our batsmen

 

[Justcrazy]

11 / 1

5 overs

 

[NZcricketfan]

It might actually be irfan bowling. different sites are listing different bowlers

 

[Justcrazy]

why is Harris opening the bowling ??

Because Maqsood could be better than Sarfraz or Akmal on any given day. Has a solid technique and can rotate the strike without sloggin or sweeping everything coming his way.

 

[haiderva]

I wonder how fast Sohail Khan is bowling in this game? Anything near 140 kph would be incredible.

 

[Sam18696]

It's a warmup match. Let them try new things.

 

[Ottoman]

It might actually be irfan bowling. different sites are listing different bowlers

Which sight is saying Irfan. He is not even playing.

 

[haiderva]

OMG.

NO Taskin. Poor poor selection from Bangla

I think they are trying to keep his under wraps until the WC starts. Element of surprise perhaps.

they know if they send sarfaraz or U akmal. If they score heavily than they have to send him as an opener in every match. Basically they r afraid for success. what a selfish decision.

Harris Sohail just got a wicket. Caught and Bowled. Bang 16/2

 

[#GreenRoars]

and here we go, haris took wicket

 

[habibi hayya]

Haris strikes

 

[Pace90]

Its Irfan bowing the opening spell, not Haris.

That may be Irfan still... Lol.. but let's see.

Huh? Why would they be afraid of success?

Thanks

so harris is bowling

 

[Ottoman]

2 down now.

 

[salman24]

Irfan is bowling according to the ecb website not haris

 

[mon858]

its gotta be haris given its caught and bowled. more likely for him to get that then for fast bowler in general.

this is really out of the box from pakistan. whats happening to waqar and misbah.
sohaib opening, umar keeping, haris opening bowling, whats next???? younis dropped?

 

[habibi hayya]

16/2 7 overs

i take that back. MUST be irfan. because the reason it showed C and B is the other sites had bowler as Haris and catch was taken by haris too so the computer converted the Catch to a C and B.

 

[Anfield]

Harris opening isn't out of box but stupid and I still believe this is Irfan bowling not Harris.

 

[Ottoman]

So if the ENG v WI match finishes early, can they move PAK v Bang match here.

 

[haiderva]

You guys are right. ECB's website shows Irfan bowling, not Harris. I can clearly understand how they can confuse the two. One is over 7ft tall, while the other is right around 5'10 (if that). Easy mistake to make. Bunch of morons.

 

[Justcrazy]

Will open the bowling with harris against India

They finally realized that "Tabdeeli aa nahin rahi..Tabdeeli aagayi hai" lol
Media would have blasted them for hours if they didn't do anything.
And yes..Younis being dropped. That's the dream.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Thanks

so harris is bowling

haha yes, and according to squad only 2 fast bowlers, wahab and sohail khan andi dont know either they may play all the fifteen o sorry , 13 players or not

 

[Sam18696]

Wait. Who is bowling?

 

[cricfan967]

ICC app doesn't show Irfan in the playing line up, also makes sense to give him rest for the first game. Almost certain it is Haris Sohail bowling.

 

[#GreenRoars]

na na , they won't take this hilarious decision

 

[Strike Rate]

Its Irfan bowing the opening spell, not Haris.

so ICC is wrong WTH lol

 

[#GreenRoars]

sohail khan and haris sohail

 

[Justcrazy]

Sohail khan has bowled well so far.

 

[Mystrey]

Bowler o r w econ dots
haris sohail 4 8 1 2.00 21

surely haris is bowling

 

[Sam18696]

Cwc app shows umar keeping.

 

[#GreenRoars]

took wicket in 1st ov ,,

 

[coolkhu]

Umar Akmal keeping the wicket in Pak vs Bang warm-up match - ICC website

It seems that Sarfaraz is playing as batsman and Umar Akmal is keeping..

Are there any signs that U.Akmal will play as wkt keeper against India?

 

[cricfan967]

Cwc app shows umar keeping.

It is definitely accurate, great move by management. Sarfraz was the sole reason for that Taylor onslaught.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Now Bangladesh are playing all 15 players. This icc app is changing every ball

 

[Strike Rate]

If Irfan is not bowling than why is he fielding?

 

[ahanank]

Big 3 conspiracy, anyone? looool
Media is so unreliable these days.

 

[Anfield]

those saying Irfan not playing

 

[Sam18696]

Don't think so. Will just shatter Sarfraz's confidence. He will be under pressure going in the main games.

 

[desi_launda]

Good crowd for warmup

 

[habibi hayya]

23/2

9 overs

 

[Sam18696]

Nice crowd.

 

[FreeBird]

Sohail Khan likely to keep his place, Bangladeshi batsmen struggling against him. I think he will replace Wahab

thats awesome, I hope he plays against India.
I want "Kohli being sent home."

 

[ahanank]

Don't think so. Will just shatter Sarfraz's confidence. He will be under pressure going in the main games.

If a player doesn't have the confidence to cope with pressures at this level that too, in the WC.
He really shouldn't be in the playing 11.

 

[cricfan967]

those saying Irfan not playing

I'm definitely confused now. Anyway, regardless of who it is, top class bowling

 

[Justcrazy]

Is that Harris or Irfan bowling ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

If Irfan is not bowling than why is he fielding?

may be he is proving his fitness and won't bowl . haha , joke

 

[habibi hayya]

Wahab riaz in the attack

 

[#GreenRoars]

haris sohail

 

[Sam18696]

Has to be Irfan imo.

 

[cricfan967]

PTV Sports has definitely got to be the most hated TV channel in Pakistan right now

 

[Strike Rate]

you can actually expect it from smart coach waqar lol

 

[#GreenRoars]

you mean Kohli, hoga apne ghar ka Kohli

 

[#GreenRoars]

you mean over smart? haha

 

[ahanank]

Harris probably requested the Ginn from Aladdin for a wish to impersonate Irfan.
A wish come true, really.

 

[haiderva]

Pakistan will have a point to prove here with the bat and bowl. They MUST bowl out Bangladesh within the 50 overs..and ideally chase down their total under 40 overs.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Guys be realistic.

Haris Sohail might be good, but that good ? He opened the bowling and went for just 8 runs in 4 overs and picked up a wicket.. and no one dared to attack him, get a 4 of him... and he bowled no long hop?

The same Haris that bowled to NZ???

Really?

Unpredictable Pakistan is back.
I like that.

It will just reinforce that Bangladesh are terrible at anything called "cricket"
