What's new

BCB XI vs Pakistanis | BCB XI beat Pakistan by 1 wicket

Why did they hold back Gazi? The guy is a wicket taker. What a thick tank Bangladesh possess.
 
Not reading much in to the batting to be honest. We'll see how they go when the real action begins.
 
In retrospect, should Pakistan have fielded instead of batting?

They would have had a better idea of the pitch and conditions. There is no point in learning the pitch by losing wickets.

We can't chase even 200

Lol what.
 
Fawad won't fail you in the runs department, but I question his impact.
 
someone should decently cover the game no commentary on what's going on.Is it streaming live on channels in Pak?

Nope. Same thing happened in the WC warm ups, where on some grounds the official broadcaster's cameras weren't there.

For this series, there is still no official broadcaster in the UK.

pathetic,No importance given to such matches anymore i remember a time when i used to remember the scores of matches such as Indian Board Xl vs Aus or Mumbai Xl vs Aus.
 
I'd like to see him against quality bowlers and thinking captains again. The Australian nightmare is still fresh in memory.

On one hand you say that Pak cricket is finished, on the other hand you want to see our batsmen against quality teams and quality bowling attacks....aakhir chahtay kya ho?
 
Two fours in two balls for Fawad, brings up his 50

54 off 53 balls, well done

Don't see how they are related.

cricket is in his blood, he can convince his mind by saying that pak cricket is finish. but deep down in his heart he want to see the Glory of pak cricket again
 
This is a seriously good total to defend. Pakistan will win easily.
 
If our cricket is finished, as you claim....then why would you want to see our batsmen vs quality bowling? The result would be inevitable anyways.

Yes, but it clarify certain myths associated with certain players.
 
So only Hafeez and Fawad leave the game with their head high, in terms of batting.
 
So Azhar Ali doing the usual.

I told you guys. He is never going to work at this level. And this was the BCB XI.

Imagine him vs Shakib, Rubel and co. Alll they have to do is bowl two bouncers an over and Azhar will be done. If he somehow survives that (with a SR below 50), get a spinner on. Just too many weaknesses.:facepalm:
 
Pathetic to play Rizwan ahead of Sami Aslam.

Heck, Azhar just benched him lol!

Rizwan is a poor poor batsman. A lot of those hyping him up will be disappointed.
 
Pakistan end with 268/9 after 50

Fawad ends it with a four, remains not out on 67 off 58 balls, good stuff.
 
Hafeez 85 off 79 and Fawad 67 off 58 not out, rest of the batsmen didn't do anything at all.

Good acceleration from Fawad in the last 5-6 overs, even though he was batting with tailenders. Was going super slow at the start of his innings.

As was going to be the case.

The only chance Pak have got of winning the seies is for one Hafeez or Sarfraz to get a huge score 130+. We might get to 260-270 odd and give the bowlers a chance.

The likes of Azhar, Shafiq, Nasim are tpo useless to do anything. Haris and Fawad will be playing out of position.
 
All those crying over performance and someone not scoring today need to get a reality check. Be a bit mature please.

It's a practice match.

Rizwan is quality.

He is quite ahead of Sami and I dont think the gap will ever close.
 
Hafeez is clearly the best batsman in the pakistan side. People call him Flat track bully . But there is no shame in that, considering more than 80% batsman in the world as flat-track-bullies. Good to see Fawad alam scoring runs, have always rated him. way to go!

Rizwan is better than Sami atm, he has performed in all formats in domestic, and i have seen both Rizwan is much more elegant batsman than Sami aslam

When 90% of pitches ARE flat tracks, being an FTB is a more relevant and valuable skill then being prepared for some mythical fast, bouncy, seaming, spinning pitch where 22 (95) balls is a match-winning gritty knock.
