Bangladesh vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Day 2 | Hafeez and Azhar put Pakistan on top

[MSaad1237]

Sami Aslam looks promising.. maybe I need to take back my 250 runs comment, but you never know with Pak batting, anything is possible..

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Pin drop silence in the crowd.

they are neighbors of calcutta

 

[Moe]

Spinners against Pakistan?

 

[axl100mph]

have you seen his cover drives?

yes I hv, he barely gets a stride in and don't get me started on his fawadian stance

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This no appreciation from commentators for shots. This is very poor.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Commentators are not even recognizing shots played.

 

[Mir jibran]

Commentators are not even recognizing shots played.

this athar ali khan is busy in praising bangaldesh

 

[Hawkeye]

Sami's stance is not pleasing on the eyes.. but boy, he's one heck of a batsman.

Has all the shots, good against both pace and spin, good against the short ball as well.

Can play Jamshed/Anwar-esque lofted cover drives for too

 

[angrypathan]

first maiden of the innings

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Well, that was a shocker. There is garbage and then there is this guy.

they have some good bowlers in odis & in t20 too, but they selected him........

more shocking thing is that he had played good number of matches with this avg

 

[Kianig89]

excellent RR so far

 

[angrypathan]

by Hafeez, good sweep shot

 

[Hawkeye]

Commentators are not even recognizing shots played.

This athar ali khan is very biased. Has his head stuck in "but but but Mushfiq was very confident in appealing"...

You fool, so was Hafeez in taking the review!! He knows it better if he nicked it.

Seriously should change the title to Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Commentators & Umpires.

 

[Mainul]

Pak openers are showing to Bangladesh how to score at good pace on this pitch. This Bangladesh bowling is toothless to pick up even 10 wickets in the match. BANGLADESH batsmen should have taken the responsibility .Nevertheless , looks like there will be a run feast by Pak batters

 

[Kianig89]

and another 4

 

[angrypathan]

Sami playing 12 consecutive dots

 

[Bullet Drive]

Watching test cricket is way way better then ODI and t20 cricket. Love this. Keep going lads.

 

[Anchorman]

Commentators are not even recognizing shots played.

I know right? They don't even talk about the shots, just ramble on about their bowling. Notice the tone in Athar's voice is getting deeper and deeper as the batsmen look in sublime form. )

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sami playing himself in while hafeez goes all guns blazing its just the start we needed.

 

[angrypathan]

Finally some praise from the commies, oh what a surprise, Ather Ali Khan isn't in the box

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Hom's action is suspecious , . . . .

 

[chill79]

Finally some praise from the commies, oh what a surprise, Ather Ali Khan isn't in the box

Who are these listless foreign commentators???

 

[Mainul]

This is crazy captaincy. Shared was bowled just one over with the new ball and spinners are on. O Mushfiqur this is Pakistan, not Zimbabwe

 

[angrypathan]

 

[angrypathan]

Who are these listless foreign commentators???

Don't know, one is Edward Rainsford from Zimbabwe, never heard of him lol, not sure who the other one is

 

[junaid.ahmed]

whaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[angrypathan]

good running

 

[angrypathan]

50 up for Pakistan, what a rr

 

[TheNightWatchman]

This is crazy captaincy. Shared was bowled just one over with the new ball and spinners are on. O Mushfiqur this is Pakistan, not Zimbabwe

There is absolutely NOTHING in the pitch for the pacers

 

[Hussain15Yahya]

We start ODI matchs like test but Test matchs like ODI.

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 up in quick time, very good batting so far..

 

[Anchorman]

Sami lofts one for 6. Brilliant.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

This is crazy captaincy. Shared was bowled just one over with the new ball and spinners are on. O Mushfiqur this is Pakistan, not Zimbabwe

calm down my friend, we were feeling the same agony in ODI's

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Need to be careful in running between the wicket

 

[jog_1]

Wasting a review here

 

[TheNightWatchman]

We start ODI matchs like test but Test matchs like ODI.

who can we thank for that??

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just need to be careful with quick singles here we dont want to gift any wickets away.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

no need to take risk boys

 

[MSaad1237]

Bangladesh wasting reviews...

 

[TheNightWatchman]

How many times have reviews been used already

 

[MSaad1237]

Oh its Out I think,, gloved it..

 

[angrypathan]

Not out come on

 

[Moe]

Are you kidding me?

 

[Laal]

Not very conclusive, imo.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not out. Awful umpiring.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

It didn't hit the glove. His hand moved I think

 

[jog_1]

Awful 3rd umpiring.

Like, that was inconclusive and way too close to give out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Watch the RR go down under 3.

 

[The_KING]

Aslam gets out in the same manner than he got out on his debut.

 

[desi_launda]

Was clearly out

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Ummm....Benefit of the doubt. You can't reverse a decision based on inconclusive evidence

 

[Amjid Javed]

not good shot that by Sami

 

[Laal]

If the original decision is not out, you can't reverse a decision based on the likelihood. You need to be 100 percent conclusive. Ridiculous umpiring.

 

[MSaad1237]

Wasn't conclusive, but it looked like the ball did flicked the glove, just a tiny flick..


Unlucky I'd say, but you can't dispute the decision too.

 

[chill79]

So much for the benefit of the doubt. The decision was purely on assumption

 

[JibranAnsari]

First blood.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope Hafeez continues positivity

 

[Theo_14]

The shadow on the glove fooled the 3rd umpire. Sami very unlucky to be out.

 

[Moe]

Hafeez is REAAALLLLLLY angry now, Time for 1200

 

[Amjid Javed]

poor umpiring continues in this test!

 

[JibranAnsari]

It flicked the glove. Fair decision.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan robbed once again.

 

[jog_1]

When the umpire said not out, it has to be out without any reasonable doubt to overturn.

Too close to call with no concrete evidence. Just awful. Awful.

 

[ihsri aha]

So much for the benefit of doubt.
That was a clear no ball from Messi [MENTION=29034]chill79[/MENTION]

 

[saeedhk]

Horrible decision.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

The shadow confused the 3rd umpire. And Sami also slightly moved his hand which is why it seemed it hit the glove. VERY POOR DECISION

 

[Bullet Drive]

Onus on Hafeez to continue to be positive.

He needs a big ton here.

 

[Dios]

Ummm....Benefit of the doubt. You can't reverse a decision based on inconclusive evidence

So Hafeez should've been out as well. Without snicko or hotspot how can you be completely sure that there wasn't a feather of an edge there and reverse the on-field umpire's decision?

 

[ihsri aha]

26.6 51.7 mph, and as lunch approaches, Yasir strikes, inside edge on to pad as he plays a hurrying delivery from the crease, short leg dives to take it, but replays are very tight on the no-ball check, arguably he does not have anything behind the line as he lands, but third umpire goes with the bowler 52/1

 

[saeedhk]

The umpiring decisions in this tour have been against Pakistan..

 

[MSaad1237]

C'mon everyone, it was a close call.

To me the ball DID flick the glove.., offcourse you can say it wasn't conclusive, but it wasn't like the Umpire made a blunder or something...

Time to move on...

 

[Junaids]

A RR of 2.6 in inexcusable unless its a minefield or a trampoline. There was a lot of potential to make runs yesterday when the pitch looked comparatively docile and they had wickets in hand.

???????????

This is a Test match. A run rate of 2.6 is normal.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

So Hafeez should've been out as well. Without snicko or hotspot how can you be completely sure that there wasn't a feather of an edge there and reverse the on-field umpire's decision?

That wasn't even close. WHERE WAS THE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS OUT. Similarly WHERE WAS THE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE that Sami's was out??

 

[Amjid Javed]

Big hundred from Hafeez would be ideal here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Feel sorry for Sami Aslam. He had a debut ton on the offering.

 

[The_KING]

Why is there no snicko in this series?

 

[jog_1]

C'mon everyone, it was a close call.

To me the ball DID flick the glove.., offcourse you can say it wasn't conclusive, but it wasn't like the Umpire made a blunder or something...

Time to move on...

It was a blunder. Too close to overturn, not enough evidence.

 

[Runner Up]

Who is 3rd Umpire? Is he local or from other country?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dont worry guys our rr will soon be 2.6 unless hafeez has other plans.
