ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan v Bangladesh | Match 31 | Kolkata | 31 October | Bangladesh Innings

Just read this article:

Ahead of Pakistan's ODI World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh at Eden Gardens Stadium on Tuesday, Babar Azam's side indulged their taste buds and ordered biryani, kebabs, and Chap from Kolkata's famous Zam Zam Restaurant. The 'Men in Green' chose to skip dinner at the team hotel, and instead chose to try Kolkata's famous biryani. Pakistan cricket team ordered the food on Sunday through an online food delivery platform.

Are these guys really professional players eating biryani almost on a daily basis. How can you then expect Rauf to reach to catch the ball?

It is indeed a Great Indian food tour

 

[NeVerMind]

It is free hit for opposition when spinners come on

"free hit" gone for a six

Pakistan teams have always been the least professional cricket team. Their tours of England were more about the food joints than the games themselves, they were out every night.

 

[Dantheone]

Not surprised to say Pakistan has the worst spin attack in this WC!

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Mahmudullah.

Good shot.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shawa shawa mir sb keep bowling on leg side lol

 

[Mas-LFC]

SIX! By Riyad

 

[Shafi]

So 5th loss in a row!!!!

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Babar's fault completely. We all know what he did to England in his first test

You have to drop someone permanently from team to bring in travel reserves. Nawaz is Babar's friend also direct competitor of Imad Wasim, there is no way Nawaz will be dropped.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 96/3 (20 overs).

Good over for BD. 11 off it.

 

[Swashbuckler]

What are these Pak spinners? I can bowl better than Usama Mir.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

A classic sign that a spin bowler isn’t working out at the international level - - they give a four every over. It shows a lack of control, and inability to bowl constant lines/ lengths.

This is one metric that’s been used to judge spinners for decades now.

Out of five overs he has bowled, Mir has given a four in four of those overs. And as I write this, he is hit for a six.

Heck, Ifti is bowling with better control than Mir.

 

[jattafridi]

Congrats Bangladesh

 

[ex-q-zit]

So babar lied about being a vegetarian like kohli?

Vegitarian Biryani and kebab are available in India. So we never know, he might ahve order veggie ones hor himself.

 

[NeVerMind]

Pakistan teams have always been the least professional cricket team. Their tours of England were more about the food joints than the games themselves, they were out every night.

We met most of the boys at Mumtaz in Leeds prior to their game with Afghanistan in 2019...was a nice surprise but not what a professional athlete should be eating, especially a day before the match....

 

[saqib.rai]

Pathetic from our spinners

And this is where we lost the World Cup.

I was analyzing our matches and generally the batting and fast bowling has been decent

It's the spin bowling that has been beyond pathetic

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

How much easy for spinner to adjust line & lengths, easier than pace bowlers?

 

[Asad T]

Ravi Shastri: What happened to your spinners?
Ramiz Raja: I don't know; its a mystery.
Nasser Hussain: They were a mystery; they are not a mystery anymore
Ramiz: Back home, we need to do a lot more to find good spinners. And if this is not an alarm bell for Pakistan, then I don't know what is

 

[sweep_shot]

100 is up for BD.

101/3.

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha gets Das!

 

[Shafi]

And people expecting we'll win against Bangladesh. We might loose by big runs. We might end up no.10 by the end of the World Cup due to poor NRR

 

[Cricket World]

Try Saud, he will be better than Usama

 

[sweep_shot]

Mahmdullah is on 46*.

 

[kron]

.

On a serious note, Babar should invest in salad, Celery juice and fruit to end that pot belly.

Babar has pot belly?

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Man.. What trash is this guy Usama bowling? Leave 6 balls, this guy can't seem to land 2 balls in the same good spot.

 

[kingusama92]

Good wicket but Pakistan is such a garbage team right now

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I don't think Pak will lose this match. Bangladesh bowling is SL level. Pak will chase anything <340 easily. My bigger point is that Pak bowlers are looking pedestrian

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Outtt
Chacha & crows have same age. Genius

 

[sweep_shot]

Ifti gets Litton.

102/4.

Threw away a good start.

 

[kron]

Dassss
Goneeza

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Finally a wicket - come on Pakistan we are better than this.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Softest dismissal of this world cup lol.

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar has pot belly?

Yh, he's developed it a bit. Small buldge in his stomach.

All our players have gained a few pounds bro, minus shaheen and Usama, they look the same.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Iftimania is only spinner we got our squad

 

[IAJ]

Rameez was PCB chairman not long ago and when Ravi asks him about the reason for Pakistan not producing spinners, he had no clue, just saying it’s a mistery. That is the issue with Rameez, Waqar and Wasim, they have no clue about domestic cricketers. Only in these situations you miss a guy like Bazid Khan representing Pak on von-box.

 

[Mas-LFC]

I knew it. I was just about to type. I feel Das will have a brainfart soon he’s been running dodgy! Trying to take singles where it aint there

 

[ex-q-zit]

Pakistan teams have always been the least professional cricket team. Their tours of England were more about the food joints than the games themselves, they were out every night.

But does it make sense to do so during such important tournaments. Also Babar has reportedly asked not to take any fitness tests of players since past 2 years. It shows in their performance on this tour so far.

 

[MMHS]

Man, really feel sorry for Babar - you got a side 3 down for 23, then these filth by the lead spinner in middle overs. Don’t know what captain can do if main spinner is hit to midwicket at exact location - one from full toss, next one from long hop.

This is the BD batting at its lowest point in many years with zero confidence- and it’s 100 inside 20 overs from 23/3 after 7.

As I write - they are out matched by even more hopeless people… that’s a sackable shot by Liton.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Give it to shaheen now

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just tuned in , Kemon Achen to all PP' bandhu's Hope Khub Bahlo toh to all...just to throw in the local Bangla flavour : )

As I type Liton has thrown his wicket away, true to his career trajectory - elegant and good to watch but a perennial undeachiever. I feel dude has trouble keeping his intensity and concentration going.

Heard 'Dil dil pak ' in the background - Arthhur must be happy...

 

[IAJ]

It is indeed a Great Indian food tour

Waiting for travel vlogs from them

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Horrible from Litton, lol. Someone tell these BD lads they are not defending anything less than 260 here.

 

[sweep_shot]

That was a very stupid dismissal. Against the run of play.

 

[Mas-LFC]

KKR have more reasons to not pick the tiny pea brain Das.

 

[Dantheone]

PCT already thrown away the advantage of taking early wickets. This has been a major problem since long time. This is where captain needs to prove his abilities.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

I'd have expected for them to change after so many losses and criticism. I even felt sorry for Babar as setting field for Nawaz and Usama must be a nightmare although it's basically he who selected this team.

But their actions are worser than toddlers.

Are these guys really professional players eating biryani almost on a daily basis. How can you then expect Rauf to reach to catch the ball?

Poor on the restaurant to leak a customer's order. I remember this happening on India's tour of Australia as well but that was some random guy who paid for the bill and then posted it online.

 

[kron]

Yh, he's developed it a bit. Small buldge in his stomach.

All our players have gained a few pounds bro, minus shaheen and Usama, they look the same.

Shaheen is always fit. Yea I agree. Maybe they dint even train seriously for wc lol. Maybe fell love with Hyderabad biryani looool

 

[shah_1]

Salman Ali Agha and Saud Shakeel should bowl some overs instead of Usama Mir.

 

[FearlessRoar]

PCT already thrown away the advantage of taking early wickets. This has been a major problem since long time. This is where captain needs to prove his abilities.

Pakistan is lacking to maintain momentum

 

[mominsaigol]

Shaheen is always fit. Yea I agree. Maybe they dint even train seriously for wc lol. Maybe fell love with Hyderabad biryani looool

Bro haris Rauf is fat for a fast bowler now .

Yh they all gained a few pounds except shaheen and usama

Bro you have followed Pakistan cricket for decades and this must be Pakistan’s lowest point in spin departement as well?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chacha will LBW shakib

 

[FearlessRoar]

Guys please note

Stick to only match discussion

 

[Mas-LFC]

Tanzid should be dropped.

Towhid Hridoy needs to be given more games.

Tawhid has been given games he has failed recent times, failed in NZ series. Got dropped rightly, but here’s a chance to do something. Going forward needs to bat 5.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 103/4 (22 overs).

BD need these two to stay there till 35-40 overs.

 

[IAJ]

Tells you everything when Chacha is your best spinner

 

[Ahmed216]

There are categories of part timers too and chacha is a good one

 

[sweep_shot]

There are categories of part timers too and chacha is a good one

He bowls better than Pakistani regular spinners.

He at least dries up the runs.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Iftimania is very handy on this pitch. Should get atleast 2 wickets

 

[Mas-LFC]

This pitch has spin, tricky wicket. Not 280plus. 255-265 should be good total.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

KKR have more reasons to not pick the tiny pea brain Das.

Which BD batter apart from Mahmudullah has looked anything but in this World Cup?

 

[sweep_shot]

What's the par score here?

270-280 seems to be par to me here.

 

[sweep_shot]

2 wides from Haris.

 

[MMHS]

There are categories of part timers too and chacha is a good one

He is the best spinner for PAK by some margin - at least can drop 6 balls on spot.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Why didn't Babar brought Shaheen for 2 over spell? 1 more wkt and Bang will collapse within 160.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Now i see no difference between Haris Rauf and Mohammad Hussain. Both have no control on line and length

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib is off the mark finally.

Took 9 balls.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Why didn't Babar brought Shaheen for 2 over spell? 1 more wkt and Bang will collapse within 160.

Because Babar has not aggressive approach. He is in shell

 

[emranabbas]

Our. Spinners.Suck

Mashallah very good record

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Mahamadllah has also been round the traps, experienced guy and also under estimated

 

[kron]

Bro haris Rauf is fat for a fast bowler now .

Yh they all gained a few pounds except shaheen and usama

Rauf used to be so fit and strong. Yea he definitely couldn't contain himself with the food options you get I guess in India haha.
Have been there before and yea honestly food is addictive. But you are an athlete so you have to resist these cravings.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mahmudullah dont take silly risky singles. Wth happens to these players nearing a milestone. Just rotate the strike!!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shakib struggling.1 off 13

 

[MMHS]

Does Rambo has any clue of what he is suggesting!! If this Shakib or Mushi (or Tamim) been the one of 2010s, then paid pundits like Rambo Raja won’t have required to give gyaan - that little even idiots like can figure out.

They put the most inform batsman at three, who is found out at highest level…. putting Sakib at 3 won’t have done any miracle here.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shakib struggling against iftimania

 

[sweep_shot]

What is Shakib doing? LOL.

1 off 13 balls.

 

[MMHS]

Shakib struggling.1 off 13

And Rambo wants him to bat at three….

 

[NeVerMind]

Shakib completely out of form...so all you need is to keep it tight, just like what Chacha is doing and he will do something silly

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chacha should give 30 minutes lesson to our spinners daily.
