Bangladesh vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Dhaka| May 6- 10 | Day 1

[Bilal7]

Come on, just grind it out for a few more overs.

 

[desi_launda]

Good bowling by shommo shorkar

 

[Justcrazy]

shahadat warming up.

 

[The_KING]

A myth. Junaid would have swung and seamed the ball if he was bowling right now. Do you not see the difference between this pitch and the last one?

I do

 

[yeh cheez]

Shahadat is warming up and coming back on the field.

 

[The_KING]

Sami's defence is so ugly

 

[tonmoy]

tuk tuk tuk tuk....

 

[desi_launda]

4 slips

 

[Bilal7]

Sami's leg-side play needs work.

 

[jog_1]

Sami Aslam's batting position is a mix between Fawad Alam's and Sarfraz's.

 

[Junaids]

And people were mocking me four hours ago for expecting Salman Butt back in 3.5 months!

Get Hafeez off a road and he can't even avoid edging against Bangladesh!

 

[Fantasy]

Sami Aslam's technique needs to be improved---Amir Sohail.....

And I agree with him...

 

[Bilal7]

Even though the ball is moving about, it is a risky move to bowl first here. If the new ball doesn't take out a couple more wickets, Bangladesh will have a bad time.

 

[Silverlion]

The ptv sports on jadoo TV is not working, does anyone know if any other channel on jadoo showing it?

Try again, restarting. mine is working.

 

[Shafi]

The way we are batting looks like no. 9 in test is on the card in near future. If we have to face Steyn or Johnson we will be all out under 50

 

[Bilal7]

And people were mocking me four hours ago for expecting Salman Butt back in 3.5 months!

Babar Azam and Ahmed Shehzad are waiting in the wings. Butt isn't even in the picture right now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs not coming here , shackles already

 

[tonmoy]

from the pitch, looks like there will be a result for this test match.... with pak fast bowling it is tilted in Paks favor.

 

[The_KING]

 

[Bilal7]

Shot!

 

[jog_1]

I like Sami's pullshots, watches the ball well, and keeps it low.

 

[Bilal7]

from the pitch, looks like there will be a result for this test match.... with pak fast bowling it is tilted in Paks favor.

Don't think we'll see such conditions later on in this match.

 

[Go_Bangladesh]

Works now thanks brother

 

[shaaik]

This Ather ali khan is a sheer torture to ears....

 

[Fantasy]

The way S Aslam leaves the ball it reminds me of Shiv Chanderpaul....

 

[The_KING]

 

[Zeshan547]

Only thing going for sami is his back foot play but otherwise have one of worst techniques, don't know how he managed to score so much so regularly at domestic and under 19 level with such a poor technique. But at this level i don't see a future for him if he don't Massively improve his technique ASAP.

 

[Shafi]

Junaid again?

 

[Haroon786]

Healthy RR to start with.

 

[desi_launda]

Sami aslam has very poor technique

 

[bilal3021]

Now that we know Haris & Babar are not playing they should be sent to Lanka from here and should play the A-team games. Will be good for them as our next tests are in lanka

 

[Shafi]

Sami has an awful technique can't survive more than 4 overs against quality bowling.

 

[Haroon786]

Spin after 8 overs, Tajiul.

 

[Neferpitou]

Soumya, what a talent. Bangladesh, don't ruin him.

 

[The_KING]

from Azhar

 

[Bilal7]

Healthy RR to start with.

After losing an early wicket, in difficult conditions makes it an achievement.

 

[The_KING]

Another from the ODI captain

 

[Neferpitou]

Sami aslam has very poor technique

It's well known. But he is one of those players, when he gets in he scores big.

 

[Justcrazy]

34 / 1

 

[Haroon786]

After losing an early wicket, in difficult conditions makes it an achievement.

According to Cricinfo, the pitch will be good for batting after the first half hour.

 

[axl100mph]

have to say that I m impressed with Azhar's willingness to learn. He used to get reigned in by spinners but now he tries to assert himself. Respect!

 

[imshally81]

Sami has an awful technique can't survive more than 4 overs against quality bowling.

Oh Really ?? Why ??

 

[The_KING]

Azhar looks more comfortable than he did in the first test

 

[arehaan]

Why are we so obsessed with technique. As long as the guy has right temperament and is able to survive and deliver results it should not matter whatever technique he uses. What good is technique if you cant score jack. The modern day cricket has nothing to do with technique but more on the lines of being innovative and have nerves of steel

 

[Shafi]

Oh Really ?? Why ??

He is even struggling against Sarkar's medium pace

 

[Belawal2014]

He is even struggling against Sarkar's medium pace

Sarkar is bowling at Junaid's pace.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

What a sydeny wicket another gone

 

[Belawal2014]

!

 

[The_KING]

Azhar so so lucky

 

[Belawal2014]

No-ball

 

[Shafi]

If we loose this test we will be rank 5 in test ranking

and how will he survive even one over by steyn or starc with such technique in condition where , there is some help for bowlers, ? plz enlighten us

 

[Buffet]

BD is playing with only 3 full bowlers here. Pakistan just need to hang in and big score will come.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Spot fixing

 

[Zeshan547]

good use of feet, i like that

 

[Zeshan547]

Spot fixing

yeah because banglis also hve pakistani roots.

 

[Shafi]

Sami Aslam reminds me Taufiq Umar.

 

[Bilal7]

Including the injured player?

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Sami Aslam reminds me Taufiq Umar.

Techniqe wise?

 

[Bilal7]

Sami Aslam reminds me Taufiq Umar.

Much better at rotating the strike though.

It doesn't have to textbook technique but the player has to show ability to negotiate swing. A player can survive on temperament and ability alone in shorter formats but in tests those lacking technique will be exposed.

 

[imshally81]

Sami Aslam ... The Another overrated Player.. here in PP ????

 

[axl100mph]

No matter how he performs, I Don't think this shahid guy would get too many endorsements
won't be proud of his namesake

 

[Zeshan547]

Muhammad shahid may not be the most talented bowler but he is one heck of a hard worker and give his all everytime.

 

[axl100mph]

I told ya

 

[Zeshan547]

Sami Aslam reminds me Taufiq Umar.

Taufiq had a pretty decent technique tbh.

 

[arehaan]

and how will he survive even one over by steyn or starc with such technique in condition where , there is some help for bowlers, ? plz enlighten us

What is the guarantee that a guy with 100 % technique will survive steyn or starc. Its all about what works for you. Chanderpaul, Trescothick, Katich these people are classic examples of guys who knew how to survive and had there method.

 

[Zeshan547]

It doesn't have to textbook technique but the player has to show ability to negotiate swing. A player can survive on temperament and ability alone in shorter formats but in tests those lacking technique will be exposed.

Absolutely

 

[Buffet]

Including the injured player?

If you count injured bowler out then it will be 2 front line bowler with one all rounder.

 

[Shafi]

Techniqe wise?

Yes!!! Quality wise Taufiq Umar is far better. He always used to score big

 

[axl100mph]

It may work in tests but in odi's you need to have a good technique to generate power in r strokes. There is a reason why chanders n fawad failed at odis

bro i agree player like chander or steven smith has weird stance but the that matter is that when they actually meet the ball the come into very good position hence can negotiate tough deliveries, but sami don't have that thing going for him, he is really in awkward position when he meet the ball, that is the issue.

 

[iHammad]

Give Sami aslam a break, it is his 2nd test match

 

[Shafi]

Problem is we got too many 30s, 40s and 50s scoring players in the team.

 

[Zeshan547]

not the worst run rate considering the conditions.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

It may work in tests but in odi's you need to have a good technique to generate power in r strokes. There is a reason why chanders n fawad failed at odis

Fawad got 40 + average in odi withgood strike rate

 

[Zeshan547]

even poor shahid can swing it more than our Mr. Handsome JK

 

[Bilal7]

If you count injured bowler out then it will be 2 front line bowler with one all rounder.

Hope the poor guy gets better but this is good news for Pakistan. Even if he comes back now he wouldn't get the luxury of a new cherry in his hands.

 

[iHammad]

Lol Ind v Ban is going to be a boring series

 

[Zeshan547]

Fawad got 40 + average in odi withgood strike rate

and got exposed even VS bangla bowlers.
