Bangladesh vs Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Dhaka | March 13 | Match Discussion

[Rana]

You put him under…

He’s all over the place.

This is what intent does!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Maaz Sadaqat has a very high control percentage with his shots.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Pakistan well on track to score 250-260

82 aalready

 

[JaDed]

Fizz also being taken to cleaners

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Looks like normal services have resumed.

 

[JaDed]

Rana looking for upgrade on PSL contract

 

[mango_bite77]

I am big fan of Farhan in t20s but he is not cut for ODI format. Ayub should return for ODIs

 

[Hawkeye]

Rana looking for upgrade on PSL contract

He is playing PSL this year? What team

 

[Rana]

Dare I say it,

Fizz’s off-cutter slowly is a Chuck

 

[Josh]

I am big fan of Farhan in t20s but he is not cut for ODI format. Ayub should return for ODIs

He is playing Bar's role well

 

[RidiculousMan]

85-0 in the first powerplay. Not bad

 

[JaDed]

He is playing PSL this year? What team

Zalmi..

 

[G0rmintAunty]

I think we would have needed Abrar more today on this pitch. Ideally Shaheen should've sit out but can't drop kaptaan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Zalmi..

Babar will smash him hard in the nets

 

[BouncerGuy]

Maaz taking every bowler to cleaners.... What a comeback it has been..

 

[RidiculousMan]

I think we would have needed Abrar more today on this pitch. Ideally Shaheen should've sit out but can't drop kaptaan.

Drop a Talat or Samad. You don't need a specialist batter at no. 7

 

[Mas-LFC]

Just, woke up! Excellent start by Pakistan.

LoL at Those who were moaning about the wickets before the series. I kept telling you all, it’s changed, got better now. Recent t20 cup both teams scored over 200 runs.

Anyways its good that bcb making good batting wickets as ODI cwc will be on good pitched next year.

 

[Kianig89]

Farhan playing anchor role perfectly

 

[JaDed]

Babar will smash him hard in the nets

With his hands probably considering his form.

 

[Hawkeye]

Maaz taking every bowler to cleaners.... What a comeback it has been..

Yes but let's not get carried away, it's Bangladesh after all. Poor bowling overall.

 

[mango_bite77]

I wish Shamyl also get some runs under hus belt. It's ok even if they dropped for next series to work on weaknesses and comeback stronger, but it is always good to have performance under the belt to keep confidence high

 

[RidiculousMan]

Farhan playing anchor role perfectly

Indeed. Anchoring is the trend in the seas with Strait of Hormuz closed

 

[Rana]

70 off 40 in an ODI

That’s not a Pakistani innings

 

[Hawkeye]

Farhan playing anchor role perfectly

Not really, he just hasn't been able to bat and score properly. Struggling big time.

Usual dot ball galore.

 

[mango_bite77]

Yes but let's not get carried away, it's Bangladesh after all. Poor bowling overall.

Yes international cricket is different level. Good teams will find his weak areas and then trap him.

However, he has some good performances also like vs India A

 

[shah9425]

Farhan playing test match

 

[JaDed]

Before I encountered BD supporters I used to support BD team , but after their antics in 2016 and the whiny tiger energy ,I want even PCT to smash em lol

 

[RidiculousMan]

70 off 40 in an ODI

That’s not a Pakistani innings

Double hundred is on cards if he plays sensibly

 

[mango_bite77]

70 off 40 in an ODI

That’s not a Pakistani innings

Just to ensure you don't miss Pakistani batting, Farhan is playing the role.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Rain forecasted for pretty much all of Sunday so Pak have to win today for it not to be a whitewash

 

[JaDed]

Yes international cricket is different level. Good teams will find his weak areas and then trap him.

However, he has some good performances also like vs India A

That's why we are all waiting to see him in next year wc, that tournament got more publicity from Pakistani Administration than even the WC ..

Glad he won't be a wild card entry and teams will have time to study him

 

[Josh]

This is disgraceful.. Bangladesh are destroying the cricket by preparing these kinda pitches..82 runs in powerplay ..put a bowling machine there. I like balance 250-260 scores ODI pitches

 

[khyberlion]

Yes but let's not get carried away, it's Bangladesh after all. Poor bowling overall.

They have better fast bowlers then us. Maaz has a long way to go but he's showing he can bat. He needs to get tighter in his technique. At least he's not moving as much as he was moving against the England lions.

 

[sweep_shot]

100 is up.

100/0.

 

[khyberlion]

Farhan showing his limitations in odis which he gets away with in t20s. He needs to play like a t20. No point playing like this.

 

[JaDed]

They have better fast bowlers then us.

Not outside BD not yet atleast

 

[DRsohail]

Lol, Maaz did Pakistani thing. Expecting another collapse here now

 

[sweep_shot]

Maaz is out.

103/1 (13 overs).

 

[khyberlion]

Poor way to get out.

 

[Rana]

Chal koi na.

Very well batted boy

 

[JaDed]

Finally gets Maaz..they need couple more damage has been done

 

[Mas-LFC]

Well played Sadaqat. Bad shot tho

 

[khyberlion]

Lol, Maaz did Pakistani thing. Expecting another collapse here now

No Pakistani batters never bat with this sr in odis.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD should've played 1 more spinner instead of a pacer.

2 pacers are enough in Mirpur.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Pak players need to learn about building big scores. This was a 150 for the taking for Maaz but he has squandered the opportunity to a nothing shot.

 

[JaDed]

No Pakistani batters never bat with this sr in odis.

Fakher Zaman has ,against better teams above that

 

[DRsohail]

No Pakistani batters never bat with this sr in odis.

The way he got out haha

 

[Vikram1989]

This is disgraceful.. Bangladesh are destroying the cricket by preparing these kinda pitches..82 runs in powerplay ..put a bowling machine there. I like balance 250-260 scores ODI pitches

Since 1998 After evil BCCICC control ,Bangladesh pitches have become batting paradises.

 

[Rana]

An innings like that throws your name in the hat with goreh coaches.

Fakhar and Saim need to step up.

 

[DRsohail]

No Pakistani batters never bat with this sr in odis.

Khyberian means from khyber??

 

[Human786]

Bang boys bowling ...

103/1 in 13... 320 ?

 

[DRsohail]

Hoppe Shamyk Hussain gets some runs, never liked his dad but he being young need support.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hoppe Shamyk Hussain gets some runs, never liked his dad but he being young need support.

He is a very good player, let's not put him under pressure just because he happens to be Talat Hussain's kid.

Shahzaib and Shamyl should be our future, if they keep the right attitude for the game.

 

[Rana]

Need to stay positive

 

[DRsohail]

He is a very good player, let's not put him under pressure just because he happens to be Talat Hussain's kid.

Shahzaib and Shamyl should be our future, if they keep the right attitude for the game.

I don,t see any future in Pakistan cricket , it ia done and dusted but I support youngsters for their own careers.

 

[khyberlion]

Fakher Zaman has ,against better teams above that

Fakhar hardly goes after it at the start.

 

[sweep_shot]

107/1 (14 overs).

Slowed down a bit after the Maaz onslaught.

 

[Omer2002]

i am not impressed with this i as ithought been very lucky so far and no doubt collapse could be on teh cards. Balance is no where near right not one spinner in team when you play in Bangladesh

 

[khyberlion]

Khyberian means from khyber??

Yes.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Pak players need to learn about building big scores. This was a 150 for the taking for Maaz but he has squandered the opportunity to a nothing shot.

Let him build to it step by step, if he would've gotten a 150 his head would've swollen to the size of a watermelon and would've been hyped to the moon (even more so than now) and then brought down mercilessly once he couldn't replicate that in every match. Just let it occur organically. He did his part for today.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

They have better fast bowlers then us. Maaz has a long way to go but he's showing he can bat. He needs to get tighter in his technique. At least he's not moving as much as he was moving against the England lions.

Maaz has great attitude but he needs to learn. The problem is who is going to teach him the art of batting. Pak also shouldn't ignore Fakhar in ODIs. The world cup is in RSA and he has in the past batted well over there.

Now that they have given him a chance, they should give him a proper run & not go back to typecast in panic mode.

The top 6 for the near future should be

Maaz
Farhan (not convinced by him yet)
Saim (he is decent in ODIs & last tour to RSA was very impressive)
Riz
Fakhar (don't know what his best position is)
Agha

The fact that Saim, Maaz, & Agha can bowl a bit will help as well. The problem starts at 7, it's unclear yet.

 

[sweep_shot]

107/1 (14 overs).

Slowed down a bit after the Maaz onslaught.

75 out of 107 was scored by Maaz.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Farhan struggling... His strike rotation has been absolute garbage,,,

 

[DRsohail]

Farhan ia dot ball machine like Ahmad Shahzad

 

[khyberlion]

Pak players need to learn about building big scores. This was a 150 for the taking for Maaz but he has squandered the opportunity to a nothing shot.

Agreed. He got carried away. He looked better then what he did against England lions. A bit better balance at the crease.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Farhan ia dot ball machine like Ahmad Shahzad

His idol..

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Let him build to it step by step, if he would've gotten a 150 his head would've swollen to the size of a watermelon and would've been hyped to the moon (even more so than now) and then brought down mercilessly once he couldn't replicate that in every match. Just let it occur organically. He did his part for today.

Not that I disagree about the attitude part but opportunities like this don't come everyday. It is also an issue with our team that our batters get complacent instead of scoring big runs.

 

[Rana]

According to Sikander

Farhan has “looked good today”

I don’t understand what kind of cricket these people enjoy?

 

[Usman Chadda]

That middle-order and bowling attack is so garbage, I'm sure we will face an even worse fate than the T20 World Cup.

 

[JaDed]

9 extras already..BD bowlers lack discipline

 

[saabir]

This pitch looks green ..great pitch for pacers but pakistan,s counter attack against Bangladesh have put their bowlers under pressure. I was expecting another easy win for BD but Pakistan batters have different idea. So refreshing to see young faces in pakistan side thats how to built bench strength and gives exposures to youngsters. Its so tiring to watch Babar and Saim .. pakistan are still a bowler short..Abrar should have played

 

[Rana]

Really boring cricket now

No flow to it

 

[khyberlion]

Maaz has great attitude but he needs to learn. The problem is who is going to teach him the art of batting. Pak also shouldn't ignore Fakhar in ODIs. The world cup is in RSA and he has in the past batted well over there.

Now that they have given him a chance, they should give him a proper run & not go back to typecast in panic mode.

The top 6 for the near future should be

Maaz
Farhan (not convinced by him yet)
Saim (he is decent in ODIs & last tour to RSA was very impressive)
Riz
Fakhar (don't know what his best position is)
Agha

The fact that Saim, Maaz, & Agha can bowl a bit will help as well. The problem starts at 7, it's unclear yet.

That's the problem he has good raw ingredients but the coaching which is required to get him to another level will be missing for him, unless he plays county.

Fakhar should open in the WC. I wouldn't have maaz opening. Rizwan shouldn't bat above 6. He plays slow and is a limited batter. I don't see much future for Farhan in odis specially the way he's batting. Hopefully we can groom Sameer and Shamyl.

From 7 onwards has always been a problem and we have decided to play possibly one of the worst player for that position in Abdul Samad. A poor batsmen who also can't bowl.

 

[khyberlion]

Is it me for Shamyl is not crouching as much?

 

[saabir]

Hoppe Shamyk Hussain gets some runs, never liked his dad but he being young need support.

What a logic of not supporting a youngsters because u don't like his dad. Atleast back your youngsters . Just after 1 match you all have decided to criticize the youngsters.

 

[Devadwal]

This is a match where I want both teams to lose.

 

[DRsohail]

Do

Farhan struggling... His strike rotation has been absolute garbage,,,doesbelong to osi

What a logic of not supporting a youngsters because u don't like his dad. Atleast back your youngsters . Just after 1 match you all have decided to criticize the youngsters.

read the line again, I said I am am supporting him.

 

[nish_mate]

Go

 

[Omer2002]

Is it me for Shamyl is not crouching as much?

very poor technique and both these killing the momentum.. they are forgetting they have pretty deep battin and one less bowler so need a very good score in my opinion. Bangla openers finished the match off in 12 overs last time and bat very deep too

 

[JaDed]

What is the direction given to batsmen by management?
