Bangladesh vs Pakistan Day 1| Bangladesh batsmen flourish after dismal day in the field for Pakistan

[Mamoon]

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

It isn't.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Bangladesh is playing for a draw . . .

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Should have played two T20s and one Test

 

[Anchorman]

I'm astounded by how comfortable Mominul looks.

 

[Indiafan]

Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

The ball which you see hitting is a cartoon projection. It is based on H/E predictive calculation. And H/E admits there is a +- 5cm error. So based on the error rate, the balls can be missing the stumps even if you see it as clipping the stumps

 

[Anchorman]

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

Such humility.

 

[Mamoon]

Such humility.

Quite often, facts are not humble.

 

[Anchorman]

Need Mahmudullah to score at least a half-century. #fantasyteam

Ok thanks. I didn't know that.

 

[Mamoon]

Mominul is indeed a high class batsman.

 

[Mamoon]

needs to hang his boots now.

 

[10sion]

150 up.

 

[Justcrazy]

150 up

 

[junaid.ahmed]

can yasir bowl a googly???

 

[Random Aussie]

Grind them into the dirt boys! Hang in there to tea

 

[m.shah]

150 up

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangladesh session this one, 90 runs so far in 29 overs and no wickets lost. Pakistan should have taken chances which were on offer!

 

[angrypathan]

can yasir bowl a googly???

Yeah he's bowled the odd googly today

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Bangladesh must be feeling what Pak felt after defeating Australia in the test series. More disbelief than joy. Unfortunately for Pak they could only soak in that joy for about a month

 

[junaid.ahmed]

BD unable to achieve r/r of 3 in any session but Pak successfully maintained the drop rate of 3/session

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Don't understand why Wahab was held back when he was clearly reversing it

 

[Shafi]

How many catches so far we dropped? Do we really have to wait until Bangladesh declare?

 

[imrankhannsu]

Come on my boys, tire them out!

Tire Bangladesh out of the thrashing habit. I think Pakistan has dont great to contain them, but alas the fielding has been pathetic.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Weldone by BD so far. I think they will score a little faster in the last session and end the day with 250/3.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tea

Bangalis sticking to the plan of playing slow but steady

 

[Shafi]

I knew that the recent performance against Australia was just a fluke. Bangladesh is certainly not better team than Australia for sure.

Bang is holding this against you guys for next 15 years.Articles will be written on this years later.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Big session needed from our bowlers, we need to take 3/4 wickets in last session and also not let Bangladesh score as freely as they have been doing like in last session.

 

[Justcrazy]

Final session on now

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I knew that the recent performance against Australia was just a fluke. Bangladesh is certainly not better team than Australia for sure.

Do you really think Shakib, Mohammed Shahid and Rubel etc are good enough to get Misbah and YK out cheaply? No way homes, expect Misbah or YK to score double tons, also don't forget Jason Gilespie has a double ton against Bangladesh .

No way I see Bangladesh picking up 20 Pakistan wickets.

No Ahmed Shehzad? He was a gun Test player

 

[Random Aussie]

Tea

Bangalis sticking to the plan of playing slow but steady

Out of interest this was exactly the same strategy as Pakistan employed on day 1 of the first Test against us.

BD team today had no players in that match. Time to wake up!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need wickets , quick ones , something has to be done.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Out of interest this was exactly the same strategy as Pakistan employed on day 1 of the first Test against us.

We did that so the game was atleast competative for a day

 

[Zeshan547]

So on such a wicket it's hard as hell to get a batsman out once, let alone twice, feel really sorry for our bowlers.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Decent ball that from junaid, we just need a period of not letting bangla score to many and someone will throw a chance to be taken.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Just wait and see Azhar,Hafeez Asad Misbah anf Co. getting out cheaply to Taijul Islam in this dead pitch

 

[m.shah]

Bangladesh on the driving seat

 

[Energetic]

"Top 8" club needs to be questioned now. Either BD has replaced 1 of the teams or its a "Top 9" club.

 

[MarkCooper]

shut up talking about the bloody weather, commies

 

[Justcrazy]

Nothing happening , crucial session.

 

[Shafi]

Junaid trundler

 

[MSaad1237]

We need Muhammad Amir back I guess...

 

[world cup captain]

A torturous RR from the Bangladeshis.

 

[Justcrazy]

BD showing patience here

 

[Amjid Javed]

Junaid been milked like a cow, pakistan devoid of ideas at the moment.

 

[Adeel Naseem]

We need two or three specialist catchers icc should allow pak to have extra spc. Fielders if they want to save pak cricjet

 

[cricketpatzer]

We need Muhammad Amir back I guess...

I believe his ban gets over sometime this year and he would be eligible to play again. Whether the selectors want him back is a different question.

 

[The_KING]

This is so boring. Take a wicket lads.

 

[imrankhannsu]

Junaid bowling for a draw too

 

[zabalestmsm]

How times change!!! BD screwing us in a Test match so far!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

A torturous RR from the Bangladeshis.

wait till Pakistan bat

 

[imrankhannsu]

How times change!!! BD screwing us in a Test match so far!!!

Dont think so. We have bowled well so far, however we are screwing ourselves with drop catches.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Anyone who has dropped catch should be fined half their match fee.

 

[gani999]

"Top 8" club needs to be questioned now. Either BD has replaced 1 of the teams or its a "Top 9" club.

Going by the rankings, maybe BD should replace India

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very unimpressive bowling so far despite the catches dropped.

 

[hussain.r97]

Just bring back Wahab already. He was actually making things happen.

 

[Shafi]

What will be our ranking if we get whitewashed by Bangladesh again?

 

[axl100mph]

Junaid has seriously declined. He wasn't special anyway but now he is even worse than mediocre.

 

[gani999]

only in tests I mean.. Not in the shorter formats

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Younis khan should bowl now he may break partership if no more drop catch

 

[JibranAnsari]

No life in junaid khans bowling. Pakistans fast bowling future looks bleak.

 

[Shafi]

Very unimpressive bowling so far despite the catches dropped.

Thanks to Waqar!!!

 

[Firebreaker]

Is Jubair playing?

 

[JibranAnsari]

What will be our ranking if we get whitewashed by Bangladesh again?

Number 7 i guess.

 

[hussain.r97]

Bring in Wahab and Hafeez in tandem. Get Hafeez to bog them down, while Wahab really has a crack at them from the other end.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar toiling hard without success.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

How times change!!! BD screwing us in a Test match so far!!!

so sad still I am unable to believe this

 

[zabalestmsm]

Dont think so. We have bowled well so far, however we are screwing ourselves with drop catches.

Who dropped catches?

 

[Shafi]

If Bangladesh score 600+ we will be under pressure

 

[Firebreaker]

Who the hell is this Shahid fella?

 

[Adeel Naseem]

If we had ajmal in this test it may not be so borring run rate would be near 4

 

[Shafi]

We will loose this test if Bangladesh score big

 

[imrankhannsu]

Who dropped catches?

So many cant remember but Zul. Babar did one

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Thanks to Waqar!!!

earlier akram was criticized for this now waqar, we have to admit that our bowling have no life

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

How times change!!! BD screwing us in a Test match so far!!!

Good times

 

[Shafi]

How times change!!! BD screwing us in a Test match so far!!!

The way we are sliding soon we will play First Division ICC cups

 

[anuk]

this has been a surprisingly poor performance by the pakistanis. the wicket must be as flat as a pancake.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Who dropped catches?

Waqar did according to half the people on here

 

[Shafi]

Mominul will be next Bradman!!!
