What's new

Bangladesh vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Dhaka | 17th April | Bangladesh Innings

He has never impressed me in ODIs except for the Aanay do series. Lacks the skill to run through lineups. 1-2 wicket bowler at best, and I would keep him as third seamer. He's not capable of leading the attack.

You do know he was the 2nd highest wickettaker in 2013 after Ajmal right. It was around the time of his injury in 2014 where he lost his pace and rhythm other than that he is well and capable of running through batting lineups especially when it starts to reverse
 
Lol [MENTION=54418]P[/MENTION]lumb. It was umpire's call. :facepalm:

It was plumb. 49% of the ball hitting the stump, yeah it was 'umpire's call' for missing 1%.

Should've been given by the umpire because it was a no brainer.

Like I said, he's a good death bowler, but he doesn't do enough damage with the new ball. Hardly troubles the batsman with pace and swing up front.

Doesn't matter, it was not out.
 
Eye of the Tiger playing!

I don't approve of these reckless cricket shots but the music is good!

B. Kumar doesn't trouble batsmen with pace and swing up front, though he doesn't have pace to begin with.
 
Wahab will leach the Watson spell for the next 3 years like Junaid is still leaching the Indian series. I agree that although he's a threatening bowler, people expect too much from him. He's a homeless man's Johnson at best.
 
I didn't say anything regarding what I expected, I just said it doesn't look nice aesthetically. Your insecurity is funny.

Insecurity?? lol..It's a revamped action. What were you expecting. His other action wasn't exactly "aesthetically pleasing" either
 
B. Kumar doesn't trouble batsmen with pace and swing up front, though he doesn't have pace to begin with.
Completely stupid and irrelevant comment. This match has nothing to do with India and neither does Mamoon's post
 
They sell Dan Cakes over here but under a different Brand name. I like the really plain ones with no icing or colour or taste. We like our cake BLAND where I come from.
 
You dont div, you pay the price.

wahab fighting like where he left it in WC
 
B. Kumar doesn't trouble batsmen with pace and swing up front, though he doesn't have pace to begin with.

BK is more threatening with the new ball under the right conditions, and we have seen that in England. As far as pace is concerned, Junaid is trying his best to stoop down to BK's level.

Let alone BK, there are very few bowlers in world cricket who I won't prefer over Junaid as far as bowling with the new ball is concerned.
 
lol

So the only way we could pick up a wicket was through a runout, hopefully we can cause a collapse now!
 
LOL first time I seen it say 'out' and there was pin-drop silence. Not a single cheer.
 
How is Saeed Ajmal bowling post ban? how is his remodeled action? Does he warrant a place in International cricket?
 
Insecurity?? lol..It's a revamped action. What were you expecting. His other action wasn't exactly "aesthetically pleasing" either

It's a lot more slingy than I thought it would be, and his action was always ugly but I thought without the chucking it might look good.
 
Lazy sarker paid the price, he should have been in the crease even before wahab picked up the ball.
 
People here need to learn to relax and enjoy the game.
Some peoples expectations are just way off

he is talking about pace and swing and rates B. Kumar ahead of Junaid all the time. So it is relevant, if he is to criticise Junaid, then he should also criticise his idol in B. Kumar.
 
Wahab will leach the Watson spell for the next 3 years like Junaid is still leaching the Indian series. I agree that although he's a threatening bowler, people expect too much from him. He's a homeless man's Johnson at best.

Johnson wasn't exactly "threatening" himself up until last year against the poms. Obviously people are expecting too much from him but that isn't to say he won't bring out another great spell of bowling.
 
What is the par score in this pitch?
300

Wahab will leach the Watson spell for the next 3 years like Junaid is still leaching the Indian series. I agree that although he's a threatening bowler, people expect too much from him. He's a homeless man's Johnson at best.

Come on man dont write him off completely.Yes he is a limited bowler(cant swing it) but can be decent if he sticks to his lines.
Btw Johnson is the homeless man's Wahab :yk

premature analysis is premature analysis

too early to say anything

let him play the whole series

You are talking to a guy who has harbajan for his avatar, so ofcourse everything is related to India for him.

You should see him commentating on IPL matches.

Yes he is not at the same level as Johnson but I have a feeling both Junaid and Wahab will show improvements if Waqar remains coach for 2 years. If I recall correctly Junaids bowling deteriorated once Waqar left.
 
he is talking about pace and swing and rates B. Kumar ahead of Junaid all the time. So it is relevant, if he is to criticise Junaid, then he should also criticise his idol in B. Kumar.

Lol at my idol. I just think he's a good new ball bowler, that's it. Your IQ is probably lower than BK's pace in miles. You are too obsessed with India. Stop being so insecure, but I'm glad you feel good about yourself by masking our shortcomings with India's.

Exactly. 2 debutants. 3 guys returning after almost a year after playing their last international match. One with a revamped action. The captain who hasn't played an ODI in 2 years. 2 bowlers who weren't in the line up before the WC.
 
Not writing Wahab off at all, in fact he's my favorite Pakistani bowler at the moment, but all I am saying is cut down your expectations. He will struggle to produce those searing spells on these wickets.
 
Note that they are not to be referred as Bangla boys.

Bangladesh is the name of the team, or you can refer to them as BD or Bd.
 
Ajmal looks like a container now. Economical because he bowls intelligently but doesn't look like taking wickets here.
 
Oh god, that yellow teeth tiger :(

worse than that indian guy with flag color contact lenses.
 
Ajmal, 3 overs, 5 runs.

Not threatening, but he's put a lid on the scoring which is good.
 
I don't want Ajmal in the team, but it is nice to see he is enjoying the game and doing well so far, in fact he made the RR come crashing down. I just hope he is given a proper farewell series and works within the PCB in some sort of role (which I think he will).

His most renowned weapon is out of the equation, that's why, I guess.
Ajmal without that doosra was and is ordinary.
 
I am really happy with Ajmal. A true champion. Hope he performs latter in the innings
