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

[TheNightWatchman]

Took so long for no reason

 

[Stallion__]

Rubel is getting some reverse!!!

 

[cricket_fan27]

Bangladeshi players don't have much sporting spirit, shaking heads, dismay and crying for a decision again.... Watch out for burning cars and all the hate if pak wins the game and all blame goes to the third umpire..

 

[imranraf]

Haris will be another young gun who will be shown the door

Deservedly so if he does not improve quickly.

 

[Fantasy]

Shehzad will be going through cricinfo to find more stats to prove himself better than Azhar.

That's not out. Move on. What is taking so long? Horrible third umpire.

Same umpire who was on field during Pak vs Ind Asia cup....Remember that?? Hafeez decision??

 

[razabbas]

Now this was a decent shot

 

[ahanank]

hahaha..Shakib crying.
As usual.

 

[Stallion__]

Can't believe commentator said that Haris played 'delicate cut' rather than saying he has edged it.

 

[razabbas]

Haris sohail

Another tailunted guy not living upto the hype

 

[hur rizvi]

HArris cant play pull shot

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to step up mode of aggresion here and try and score atleast a boundary an over, that will bring req rate down as its starting to go up towards 8!

sohail needs to pick up his scoring rate!

 

[imranraf]

Haris Sohail is turning out to be a hopelessly below average batsman.

 

[zabalestmsm]

He is turning out to be another bits and pieces player. We are yet to find a good batsman for our team.

Just wait for the match to finish and then have ur final say!

 

[the Great Khan]

He has 5-6 years still, which is good enough. He couldn't get into the team because of Misbah and Younis, but perhaps we should have invested in him earlier at Shehzad's expense.

been saying this for ages, any of our players who can hit big hundreds in tests should be able to play odi's..other than YK that is lol

 

[hur rizvi]

Need to step up mode of aggresion here and try and score atleast a boundary an over, that will bring req rate down as its starting to go up towards 8!

sohail needs to pick up his scoring rate!

Exactly, they lack power down the order and 2 of the remaining bats are on debut

 

[Ikball]

After 24 overs

BD 92/2
Pak 125/2

 

[BD-fan]

A wicket now will change the game.

 

[razabbas]

runr ate is climbing after each and every ball

 

[zabalestmsm]

30s is like 99 for Haris Sohail! ha ha.. Lets hope he gets over the line this time and break this tag!

 

[Stallion__]

Bangladeshi players don't have much sporting spirit, shaking heads, dismay and crying for a decision again.... Watch out for burning cars and all the hate if pak wins the game and all blame goes to the third umpire..

I am anticipating the boundary when the cheers stop and silence on the ground!
Zero sportsman spirit!

 

[Enforcer]

He has 5-6 years still, which is good enough. He couldn't get into the team because of Misbah and Younis, but perhaps we should have invested in him earlier at Shehzad's expense.

yeah but sacrificing a talented batsman's career for a TTF like younis khan is sickening , still better late than never!

 

[razabbas]

30s is like 99 for Haris Sohail! ha ha.. Lets hope he gets over the line this time and break this tag!

but for that he have to rotate strike consistently

 

[razabbas]

Poor delivery and right treatment

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Its about time the batting is clicking for once, DONT care if wr win or lose

 

[saeedhk]

Need to find gaps.

 

[razazaidi]

9 runs in that over. Common Haris!

 

[JaDed]

What's with Harris hate

 

[axl100mph]

haris is just a front foot player and lloks completely at see against anything pitched short. makes me chuckle when I recall that mr. [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] called him the best player of pace after chota akmal

 

[MenInG]

Some of these people who have been on Azhar Ali's case need to make themselves known here

 

[saeedhk]

4.

 

[Anchorman]

But he started batting at the age of 22 and is a nightwatchman.

And don't forget if a player is set in his ways, it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to improve and work on his game. Impossible.

 

[Reverseswing97]

Some of these people who have been on Azhar Ali's case need to make themselves known here

Exactly.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Better over that last one, a few more like that would be ideal.

 

[Kianig89]

They should have selected Anwar Ali instead of Nasim

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bangladesh should start celebrating. Its a big day for them , a win against pakistan after an eternity.

 

[Mamoon]

You clearly missed the World Cup. He looked much better against pace than anyone, just watch how he handled Australian and Indian pacers when everyone was struggling.

Haris > > > SHehzad

 

[Amjid Javed]

One of both these batsmen need to score big hundreds here with the start they have got.

 

[Shafi]

We really need 1 or 2 proper all rounders rather than Nasim

 

[10sion]

Fact is, compare how Tamim and co. batted against a better bowling attack, to how Azhar is batting against Bangladesh attack

Yeah Tamim was batting at a SR of 60 and later shot that up. If he got out early his SR would be very low. Azhar is batting very well. Something a smart person studying at Imperial would get it.

 

[desi_launda]

Is Saad Nasim a big hitter or Misbah like player?

 

[Kianig89]

Game entering critical phase

 

[razazaidi]

You clearly missed the World Cup. He looked much better against pace than anyone, just watch how he handled Australian and Indian pacers when everyone was struggling.

Haris > > > SHehzad

All day any day

 

[MarkCooper]

whats the score

 

[Kianig89]

Is Saad Nasim a big hitter or Misbah like player?

neither he is a dud

 

[JaDed]

whats the score

142/2

 

[Watsupdoc]

This phase is so boring to watch - not a complaint, just an observation.

 

[desi_launda]

whats the score

142/2 after 26.3

 

[zabalestmsm]

Regarding our bowling, Azhar Ali must be the first choice part timer! Haris must only concentrate on his batting! Saad Nasim, I m afraid, is not impressive at all! We need to replace him with a good bowling all rounder in future! May it be a fast bowling all rounder! Zafar Gohar will easily replace Ajmal, provided Ajmal doesn't impress with his new action!

 

[JaDed]

26.4 over 142/2

 

[JaDed]

This phase is so boring to watch - not a complaint, just an observation.

Also the phase where match can change.

 

[Orbis]

Need at least 1 boundary every over now. And we need that 1-2 big overs i.e. 15-20+ runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

It would be funny to watch fawad bat when the rrr is 10 plus. Lol

 

[wasimjunior]

This is a superb construction of a chase. Need to start hitting now.

 

[coolkhu]

looks like last 10 overs 90-100 will be required and no power hitters in the line-up...seems difficult but not impossible

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I think they should send Wahab Riaz next

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Athar Ali giving himself tasali that Afridi and Ahmed arent playing today

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

This is the best and most CONVINCING batting performance weve had in a while, dont carr what anyone says ..

 

[JibranAnsari]

The match is pretty boring obviously , no quality in either batting or bowling.

 

[imranraf]

Too much pressure on Azher Ali. Haris should be trying to hit out few boundaries in between singles. It feels like Azher is taking quite a few risk to keep up the run rate. Azhar should play the anchor role and Haris should be hitting out a bit by now.

 

[razazaidi]

I have a feeling these 2 can finish the job

 

[Watsupdoc]

Also the phase where match can change.

Well the game is just strolling around with singles, dots and odd boundary.

It's the batting powerplay phase, which can change the match.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Well played Azhar Ali! Never mind! We r in the game!

 

[Orbis]

Azhar told you he can't hit out

 

[imranraf]

and Azher Ali succumbs to the pressure of keeping up the run rate.

 

[The_KING]

Well played Azhar

 

[Watsupdoc]

And Azhar is gone

 

[Anchorman]

Azhar gone. Well played captain but we needed you to carry on!

 

[JaDed]

Well played honestly!

 

[zabalestmsm]

This is the best and most CONVINCING batting performance weve had in a while, dont carr what anyone says ..

Agreed!

 

[the Great Khan]

damn Azhar gone, should have left that! this is going to be tight,,expect bangladesh to win but hope we get close!

 

[Shafi]

Really poor shot to get out!!! Well done Azhar

 

[Amjid Javed]

Captain gobe, big blow that!

 

[Vegitto1]

Unlucky AA. At least you rotated strike and maintained a run rate close to 100. Hope to see you improve in the coming days

 

[Khyam]

Well played Azhar Ali. Deserved a hundred.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Azhar Out
.

Frooto Time!!

 

[Kianig89]

Azhar leaves the team in lurch pathetic

 

[#GreenRoars]

debut boy is here

 

[Anchorman]

Rizwan in.

 

[Stallion__]

Got greedy after getting 4 (of edge) through third man.
Now, we need a 25 ball 50 from someone!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Time for one of the two debutants to step up to the plate and prove themselves
