Bangladesh vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Dhaka | 22nd April | Pakistan Innings

[honeybadger]

Sami 29 (22) Control 100%
When was the last time a pakistani opener got into double figures with 100% control?

 

[adarsh_bang]

This is also a good opportunity to see how the Bangla Tigers respond to being put under pressure. This hasn't happened in the last two ODIs.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

I don't dispute that but if you had to drop someone it had to be Sarfraz unfortunately.

Ahead of Hafeez or Alam who were playing as specialist batsmen?

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

57/0 after 9 Pakistan looking great

 

[Zeshan547]

Pak showing bangla bowling it's real worth, and this is not a jinx. Keep it up boys. Smack damn bangs hard.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Tuk Tuk mentality has been eradicated completely form the team after Misbah's retirement. even Azhar is rotating the strike better than in past

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sami has scored against the likes of Irfan, Junaid, Ajmal etc.

These are nothing to him.

In sha Allah he will score a ton.

19 years of age. Looks superb.

3 youngsters introduced this series.

Rizwan, Sami and Saad.

All done well.

PAK cricket is rising.

 

[Shafi]

Real test for Sami and Azhar

 

[adarsh_bang]

Arafat - The dubious action -Sunny is on now.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Sunny on

 

[Yatoo]

Even though the series is lost but it's been a good learning experience. WTH is Gul playing?

 

[Justcrazy]

Sami looking good here

 

[adarsh_bang]

Azhar has the skill to do it. Needs to stay calm and not get bogged down.
As an Indian, the best - most complete batsman in this Pakistan side is Ali

 

[honeybadger]

Throw, throw, throw the ball, gently down the seam...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Arafat sunny to get a 5 fer.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Over excitation form Bangladeshis

 

[The_KING]

Ahead of Hafeez or Alam who were playing as specialist batsmen?

Alam just came back so it would have been unfair to drop him after just two games. I was gonna drop Hafeez if he hadn't cleared his bowling action. But now we need him as an AR.

 

[adarsh_bang]

pre meditated shot by Sami..

 

[ihsri aha]

[MENTION=56866]Bullet Drive[/MENTION] is happy, and we are happy

 

[adarsh_bang]

Gone. Needless pre meditated shot. OUT

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Even though the series is lost but it's been a good learning experience. WTH is Gul playing?

Better option than Unlucky Rahat

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Looks out

 

[adarsh_bang]

Oh Wait! Maybe not out!

 

[Bullet Drive]

argh

 

[wasimjunior]

God I hope Sami is the real deal. Been excited to see him for a long time

 

[adarsh_bang]

Hit the pad first.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Looked out real time

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not out.... in my view!

 

[honeybadger]

It was fun while it lasted.

 

[Hawkeye]

Not out please! :/

 

[GreenKnightRises]

It has brushed the bottom of the pad. No gloves from my point of view.

 

[The_KING]

Phew!

 

[Red Devil]

Benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman

 

[Hawkeye]

Yayyyyyyyyy :d :d

not out!

 

[Shafi]

Lucky save!!! Sami should accumulate this

 

[wasimjunior]

What's going on!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yessss

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Not out

 

[Yatoo]

So the guy can't sweep

 

[Sakss]

Bachat yyaya

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Benefit of the doubt

 

[The_KING]

Good catch though. Can a Pakistan ever take a catch like that? I doubt it.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Tamim just wanted a review to show off his catch in my opinion

 

[Bullet Drive]

Thank you Allah.

Now plssss Sami forget the sweep.

Make a ton!

 

[m.shah]

Close call

 

[GreenKnightRises]

This chucker Arafat Sunny will create a lot of problems to our batsman

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Sami did this against England in U19 he always looks to sweep balls that aren't there. Needs to work on that

 

[Zeshan547]

Thank God sami is still there, and right decision is made.

 

[honeybadger]

phew. That was close.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I will try to get Sami a bat contract iA Dont like his current

 

[arehaan]

This guy sunny is definitely chucking. It is so obvious

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Tamim just wanted a review to show off his catch in my opinion

Did that little bird of your's said this to you

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

So far soo good going by both openners. By the way who was saying Pakistan's domestic is nothing a systum?

 

[The_KING]

 

[Red Devil]

Wow what a shot!

 

[Yatoo]

I will try to get Sami a bat contract iA Dont like his current

You stay away from him. [emoji6] [emoji6] [emoji6] Jamsheed, Akmal, Shehzad. Don't wanna add another one

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Azhar just needs to maintain this pace without tuking

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Rubel being turned to rubble

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sami is quality on short ball.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pakistan should aim for 350+ with such a good start

 

[Bullet Drive]

Into nervous 30s now.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Sami needs to teach Harris how to play the short ball

 

[jog_1]

Pakistan should aim for 350+ with such a good start

Don't get too ahead of yourself.

 

[honeybadger]

What's wrong with this one? Gayle scored his triple ton with that Ihsan bat.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

I want to know what Azhar was doing out of the ODI squad. They should have persisted with him early on.
Anyways Shezad must be biting his nails...if these 2 provide consistent scores he could never get back in the team again unless Azhar replaces Hafeez at 3

 

[Yatoo]

Sami needs to teach Harris how to play the short ball

Harris looks ugly playing the short ball or when slogging

 

[Zeshan547]

Sami fall over a little bit when playing on front foot and sweep too much, these are two minor technical problems but overall he has most bases covered technically, but need to work on these two otherwise with time quality bowlers will get better of him and he will be found out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sami please play straight down the ground to spin. Rotate strike now till 35th over.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Did that little bird of your's said this to you

No I had to give it its annual migratory leave, I am currently employing the services of my little goldfish, who also knew nasir wanted a similar skill replay too

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Harris looks ugly playing the short ball or when slogging

bcz he is fatty

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Sami should look to rotate against spinners but no complaints he's playing well

 

[junaid.ahmed]

nasir is not a chucker???? he seems to be

 

[honeybadger]

In his 30s now. Pakistani batsmen usually go fill retard right about now.

 

[honeybadger]

In his 30s now. Pakistani batsmen usually go full retard right about now.

 

[Professor]

Both Nasir and Sunny have suspect actions IMO.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Huge gap between bat and pad

 

[honeybadger]

He recently said he had absolutely no idea how he bowled his arm ball. I think its painfully obvious.

 

[Zeshan547]

Arm ball can't turn that much without chucking, and sunny is not herath either, so he defo is chucking.

 

[Amjid Javed]

The spinners need to be milked abit more here as bangladesh are beginning to reign things in here slowly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sadly I can feel a wicket coming.

This is where the Indian team would carry on and battle through. This is where Pakistan think they are under pressure and will sky one.

You MUST battle this period.

PLEASE!
