Bangladesh v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Dhaka | 17-21/12/11 | Day 1

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is good and I think Bangladesh would put some fight here, Pakistan would have to put some more effort.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh looking good for 300 at the moment but a wicket can change things drastically.!!

 

[Fawad2010]

Current partnership 75 runs, 21.5 overs, RR: 3.43


Good passage of play for BD

 

[Justcrazy]

Gul dos not look threatening here, Pakistan should have tried Talha here. Gul should be used in shorter formats only.

 

[Justcrazy]

79 wickets so far, he would love to add a few here.

 

[Poison]

Flat pitch, I foresee Misbah tukking himself to his first double ton

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Nothing in for the bowlers here..... absolutely nothing.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

They are on 120 with 4 wickets gone and no real batsmen to come. Whatever you're on I want some of it

 

[Justcrazy]

Nafees 55 no.

 

[ChampLeO]

Bring Cheema on

yes, it's 125 at the moment, but these two looking solid, not taking chances. The pitch is flat. They still have there captain. So 300 might look far now, but maybe if these two can stay till tea , its a possibility.

 

[ChampLeO]

Gul should have been dropped for Talha or Khalil

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 Nafees 60 not out !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Gul should have been dropped for Talha or Khalil

Thats exactly what I mentioned in few posts above. Gul should be playing shorter formats only, Talha should have been tried here, extra pace would have been tough for these players here

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope ca do something here ...... the partnership approaching 100 here.

 

[Justcrazy]

has bowled well so far, but needs to get wickets.

 

[ChampLeO]

Thats exactly what I mentioned in few posts above. Gul should be playing shorter formats only, Talha should have been tried here, extra pace would have been tough for these players here

But the problem is that we have a captain who is hell bent on not giving any new players a chance, he is more worried about his win/loss ratio.

 

[Justcrazy]

"This is some real gritty stuff from Bangladeshi batsmen and I can feel that Pakistan would be missing Mohammad Talha on this deck now!"

[Justcrazy]

being smashed here : 4 :4

 

[IAJ]

Great batting from this Bangladeshi pair. Just showing our bowlers what they can expect from the English batsmen in some weeks.

 

[Justcrazy]

is missed here

+1 I agree.

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah needs to do something here

 

[Fawad2010]

Current partnership 103 runs, 27.4 overs, RR: 3.72

Powerful stuff

 

[pakcricketfan]

LOL @ Adnan Akmal. Whattay comedian!

 

[Justcrazy]

Cheeema back

 

[spoiled]

LOL @ Adnan Akmal. Whattay comedian!

what was he saying this time

 

[Justcrazy]

I wonder what Misbah must be thinking !

 

[Justcrazy]

on here

 

[ChampLeO]

I wonder what Misbah must be thinking !

Time to draw this match

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like aggression is the answer to pakistan bowling , shakib found this out last match.

 

[Justcrazy]

150 up

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need one wicket here, one will lead to more

 

[Fawad2010]

Lunch: Bangladesh - 54/4 in 19.0 overs

Tea: Bangladesh - 153/4 in 44.0 overs

100 run session for BD!

Poor session from our side.

 

[AZ]

not happy with Misbah's strategy in this session, should have changed Ajmal's end, both him and Hafeez were not getting any help.

instead he bought on Gul back into the attack and then Cheema :X

 

[Bangla Tiger]

Pakistan need one wicket here, one will lead to more

only one recognized batsman left, so unless the current pair scores another 100, a decent total is still a long ways off.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen on 60s ...... not good for Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

I think a draw would be like a win for bangladesh.... Pakistan missing here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Justcrazy don't jump on conclusions too early, it is only day 1 and a lot is still to happen . So cheerup.

 

[sawal]

It will be a good test for Pakistani batsmen

 

[Justcrazy]

to start proceedings.

 

[Justcrazy]

not effective here

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 Nafees 72 not out.

 

[Obeid]

We are playing bloody Bangladesh not England.

God help us in January

 

[Zeeraq]

We are playing bloody Bangladesh not England.

God help us in January

Yeah you're right

If a BD player make a ton against us it will be a big

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

I still have a feeling its this partnership...... one wicket and this could be over.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should attack more here, apply more pressure .

 

[Zeeraq]

There should be some Big changes for England Test Squad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why are they bowling so short?

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to get a tearaway bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 123 runs !!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

deserved a game here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Need to stop bowling short pitched stuff.

 

[Justcrazy]

We must appreciate this pair, they have batted well, without taking chances, and have given bowlers something to bowl at.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Need to stop bowling short pitched stuff.

Yep - they're overdoing it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shakib averages 34.31 ....... he can better.

 

[Zeeraq]

Bowling is not up to the mark .

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch looks really flat........crying for a draw.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Getting frustrated here. Hafeez time

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh RR 3.40

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan will still win this game. Why you saying its a draw. It's the first day...

 

[qamar84]

why people are paniquing no need here 168/4 what's the problem guys just give something to bengalis who came to watch the match let's them score 250 not big problem for pak

 

[Bullet Drive]

Cheema has shown a lot of heart.

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not see pakistan batting today

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'd say one more wicket and we are into the tail. Great slower ball that time.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty of a ball. Why can't Cheema carry on bowling there?

 

[Justcrazy]

I say one wicket...... and would finish it.

 

[Zeeraq]

It would have been better if Muhammad Talha would have been given a chance.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another short ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Batsmen are set at the crease and they are bowling like 2-3 short balls an over. Batsmen know what is coming and are on the back foot therefore are easily in position to play the ball.

Bring on Hafeez & Ajmal and we'll get the wickets. I'm sure

 

[Bullet Drive]

Excellent take from Adnan Akmal. Down the leg side and he took that with ease. Great stuff

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rehman to bowl.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Must say Bangladesh batted real well.
