[Amjid Javed]

Thats 5 chances we have missed today! shoddy fielding! we should have bangladesh in serious trouble here ffs

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This kind of batting will even make :Mibsah sleep

Please don't let imrul score in the second innings, get him out or injured

 

[parwezzkhan]

5 chances has been put down by pak in 48 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

BD looking to bat long and hope the pitch starts turning

 

[UpInTheAir]

Who's the main culprit?

 

[Adeel Naseem]

poor very poor fielding indeed

like govt school master waqar should hit the stick on the hands of whoever dropped

Hahaha He shuold make them murgha Of the 6 chances offered, Pakistan took only 1; that too probably because, it was difficult to drop!"

 

[UpInTheAir]

poor very poor fielding indeed

like govt school master waqar should hit the stick on the hands of whoever dropped

He does, that's why their injured

 

[Neferpitou]

Five chances lol and then you guys blame Waqar.

 

[Executioner]

5 drops are from 5 different players

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lol Bangladeshi selectors Went in with two bowlers and one is Rubel Hossain

 

[The_KING]

Wahab bowling fuller today. Why didn't he do that during the ODI series?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Three bowlers * Playing for a draw here

 

[Neferpitou]

Wahab bowling fuller today. Why didn't he do that during the ODI series?

Reverse swing.

 

[MarkCooper]

I am loving this run rate of 2.3. I know its a bit high, but I cannot blame them too much.

Keep playing those shots along the ground boys - never hit the ball in the air!

 

[desi_launda]

5 drops are from 5 different players

Good teamwork

 

[honeybadger]

Wahab bowling fuller today. Why didn't he do that during the ODI series?

His first spell was short balls galore.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

5 drops are from 5 different players

6 players left to drop

 

[junaid.ahmed]

c'mon boys big birds are still in the nest

 

[Justcrazy]

120 / 2

Yasir on again

 

[Jabo]

Hafeez


Stupid selection

 

[BigBoy123]

Bring junaid back he may reverse it

 

[m.shah]

How many drops untill now in this match??

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Bowlers Should Concentrate on Clean Bowled Or LBW B/c 90 Catches Will Be dropped

 

[angrypathan]

Wahab getting the ball to reverse

 

[Adeel Naseem]

How many drops untill now in this match??

Just 5 May become 10 very soon

 

[angrypathan]

How many drops untill now in this match??

5

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab is only good when the ball is reversing in these conditions , he needs to make use of it.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

That shout looked pretty good...would have been clipping though

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez


Stupid selection

He is bowling better than both the main spinners.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Nice reverse from Wahab

 

[m.shah]

This fielding coach should be fired. What is he doing

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Why would you bowl back of a length on a track like this especially when the ball is reversing

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

He is bowling better than both the main spinners.

Because he is still chucking

 

[TheNightWatchman]

This fielding coach should be fired. What is he doing

lol...It's not as if the fielding coach is changing the way they catch the ball lol

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch has nothing for fast bowlers

 

[Neferpitou]

This fielding coach should be fired. What is he doing

Now it's the fielding coach's turn.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why would you bowl back of a length on a track like this especially when the ball is reversing

because the Great is the coach , he thinks out of the box

 

[JibranAnsari]

Because he is still chucking

Is he? Even if he looks quite negligible when compared to arafat sunnys chucking.

 

[m.shah]

[MENTION=51830]nightwatchman[/MENTION]

Didn't you saw how much the fielding had improved under fountain.

 

[1337]

Wahab <3

Generating some serious pace on this dead pitch

 

[Lords]

Looks like BD is aiming for a draw. Even a draw is a moral victory for them.

For pakistan nothing less then a victory will suffice. Just a victory will do if not comprehensive victory. Name at stake here.

 

[The_KING]

I hate this stupid rule that if the ball is clipping the stumps the decision will stay with the umpire. Stupid ICC with their stupid rules.

 

[Justcrazy]

Now it's the fielding coach's turn.

Pakistan need a captaincy coach .

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wicket is pretty placid but there is reverse swing there and looks like the spinners will enjoy surface when it comes to day 4/5

 

[angrypathan]

Azhar Ali is going to have a lot of bruises at the end of the day

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Shah looks pretty good

 

[desi_launda]

Bowling looks innocuous

Bat 5 sessions , thats 150 overs and score aroun 500. Get pakistan in and you never know.

 

[angrypathan]

I hate this stupid rule that if the ball is clipping the stumps the decision will stay with the umpire. Stupid ICC with their stupid rules.

I hate it too, until the other team reviews a not out and the decision stays because of umpire's call

So did they forget all that. Do Pakistan players have brain damage??

 

[angrypathan]

lucky shot

 

[JibranAnsari]

Momin ul haque is a pretty good batsman , pakistan needs a new batsman like him after misbah and younis.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Is he? Even if he looks quite negligible when compared to arafat sunnys chucking.

Yes he is. No he is mixing around like Ajmal did in the ODI's, if he gets caught he will be in serious trouble

Sunny is a chucker no doubt, not as legendary as ajmal but second best chucker, umpires needs to report him, also ajmal and hafeez needs to be reported again for chucking.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Momin ul haque is a pretty good batsman , pakistan needs a new batsman like him after misbah and younis.

Azhar is pretty good

 

[Justcrazy]

Mahmadullah

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need 2 wickets before tea here to make this a decent session for us.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

why yasir is over pitching??? you cant get LBW bcz icc want to stay with umpires call

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Come round the wicket Wahab

 

[Mamoon]

You don't 'learn' to field nor do you 'forget' it; it's all about the intensity and focus.

JF is a world class fielding coach and his methods were such that he kept our players engaged. As soon as he left, our intensity in the field dropped and we switched off completely.

 

[angrypathan]

90.5 mph

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar is pretty good

I am talking about new batsmen , azhar is old. into his 30s and has played for 5 years now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

That's pretty much it , like batting and bowling fielding also needs a lot of practice and his fielding practice methods were working.

Obviously Pak were much sharper in the field when he was around but that's not an excuse for a player dropping an absolute dolly

 

[Indiafan]

I hate this stupid rule that if the ball is clipping the stumps the decision will stay with the umpire. Stupid ICC with their stupid rules.

No it is not. you do NOT KNOW if ball is clipping the stump. Just because a cartoon shows it doesn't mean it is actually clipping

 

[The_KING]

I hate it too, until the other team reviews a not out and the decision stays because of umpire's call

Ikr. If you get bowled but the ball only clipped the stumps would that be not out because the ball didn't hit the stumps full on? I don't understand why it is any different for lbw.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yes he is. No he is mixing around like Ajmal did in the ODI's, if he gets caught he will be in serious trouble

Sunny is a chucker no doubt, not as legendary as ajmal but second best chucker, umpires needs to report him, also ajmal and hafeez needs to be reported again for chucking.

I think ajmal and hafeez are under the limits now but boy sunny is a big fat chucker.

these lazy sons of rajas & mahrajas cant do anything, they like the cricket of hundreds year back where salves used as fielders

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I think ajmal and hafeez are under the limits now but boy sunny is a big fat chucker.

Ajmal chucked in the second odi after he was thrashed in his first over, old habits die hard, same with hafeez.

Sunny yes, not denying here, am I? He is a chucker, don't like him too.

 

[SL_Fan]

Decent batting from Bangla. Looking set to score 400+

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ikr. If you get bowled but the ball only clipped the stumps would that be not out because the ball didn't hit the stumps full on? I don't understand why it is any different for lbw.

That's the margin of error to the umpire and DRS system , remember this hawkeye system isnt perfect and the flight of the trajectory and angles shown aren't 100 percent correct. So it's fair to give this much of an advantage to the umpire.

 

[Justcrazy]

139 / 2

55 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sunny yes, not denying here, am I? He is a chucker, don't like him too.

Most parts they both were fine and especially has been cleaner, he wasn't much over the limite to start with.

Ajmals career is over anyway.

 

[The_KING]

No it is not. you do NOT KNOW if ball is clipping the stump. Just because a cartoon shows it doesn't mean it is actually clipping

Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

 

[JibranAnsari]

especially hafeez*

 

[run-out]

can any 1 tell those 5 chances were easy or tough ?
Am at work can't watch

Completely agree wid u , our fielding improved alot under his coaching look now they can't catch a ball

Oh I get it.

 

[angrypathan]

I think ajmal and hafeez are under the limits now but boy sunny is a big fat chucker.

From what I've seen of Hafeez in this game, he looked okay. He wasn't exceeding the limits by a lot before the remodeling either. But Ajmal in that 2nd ODI was clearly bowling a few deliveries, including the one which he got a wicket off, with his old, 40 degree bend action, but yeah his new action looks okay. Arafat Sunny on the other hand, if he's not a chucker then noone is

 

[Mamoon]

Completely agree wid u , our fielding improved alot under his coaching look now they can't catch a ball

You would do well to agree with me, I have PhD in cricket.
