Last recognized pair batting for Bangladesh. How far will they go?
 
Pakistan should wrap this up within first session. I don't think it will go to second session.
 
So unfortunate for Naseem. Would have easily gotten his second 5-fer of his career. I hope it isn't serious. It would be wise to rest him for the first few games of the PSL even if it isnt serious.
 
Inconclusive so the on field decisions stays. One that could go either way but did look like it hit bat and pad maybe milliseconds apart.
 
136kph, banged in short by a guy who is 6'6, and barely carries to the keeper. What a depressingly lifeless surface :mv
 
Abbas taken off very quickly. Looks like management want Yasir to get a few cheap wickets here so they can justify his repeated selection.

No they just want someone to replace Shaheen after a couple of overs because Naseem isn't on the field. Not everything is a conspiracy
 
Ball is swinging you have a tailender. You would wanna try finish innings off quickly pointless bowling Yasir Shah whose been struggling for a while.

And who bowls to the same tailenders when Shaheen and Abbas have bowled 6 over spells each? Azhar Ali?
 
The worse thing out of this game is Yasir shah taking side wickets.
 
Yasir Shah should be dropped but got cheap wickets to extend life
 
Good performance, just a bit annoyed that Yasir Shah took some wickets, want him dropped.
 
What an absolute mauling :facepalm:

This is nothing more than free points for the WTC.

Well played Bangladesh.
 
Pakistan needed just over an hour on the fourth day to clean up the Bangladesh lower order and canter to an innings-and-44-run win in the first Test in Rawalpindi.

Bangladesh, who had conceded a 212-run first-innings lead and had gone into stumps on the third day at 126/6, lost their last four wickets for 38 runs. In all, they made 42 runs on the fourth morning, with Liton Das, who was yet to open his account on Sunday, making 29 of them.

Legspinner Yasir Shah claimed two of those four wickets to draw level with 16-year-old pacer Naseem Shah, as both finished with four wickets each. Naseem took home the Player of the Match award for his five wickets in the game, including a hat-trick on the third evening.

Mominul Haque was the first to fall on Monday, when he was trapped lbw by Shaheen Shah Afridi in the day’s first over. Liton then took over the scoring and dominated an eighth-wicket stand of 26 with Rubel Hossain, who resisted for 26 balls, making 5 in the process. But once that stand was broken, the innings fizzled out quickly, as Bangladesh lost their last three wickets for 12 runs.

Bangladesh had put up a slightly better performance in the first innings, when their middle order collectively chipped in, but Afridi made sure to keep them to 233. In response, Pakistan coasted on centuries from Shan Masood and Babar Azam, and fifties from Asad Shafiq and Haris Sohail to rack up 445, before their bowlers ensured they wouldn’t have to bat again.

The more Yasir takes the wickets the more he will play.

I want him to take tons of wickets and improve as a bowler as he has alot of skills. We need a threatening leg spinner and with not many around in our domestic we should be praying yasir keeps getting wickets and improving his deliveries!!
 
Wouldn't mind trying Shadab or Zafar Gohar for the second test in April. It won't hurt us to try one of them out in place of Yasir against Bangladesh. In England Shadab should definitely play ahead of Yasir as Yasir won't do anything, plus Shadab did well with the bat in England last time.
 
 
Other than a mini collapse after being 342/3 it was a clinical performance from Pakistan. Need to work on weaknesses and weak points during wins as well to keep on raising the bar.

not convinced with Rizwan at the moment. We need a good number 6 7 8 abroad as we may find ourselves a few down with not much on the board..a good allrounder or 6 coming in can turn things around quickly. or at least give the team a fighting total. just wish sarfi gets some form back and he can be slotted in , in the squad. Without teh cuptaany pressure he may prove very useful for us.

You know what Misbah's like. Doesn't change a winning team.
 
An out of form spinner, couple of rookie bowlers were all needed to finish BD off. Not withstanding the absence of Rahim, Saqib this is ridiculously a poor effort. There is no excuse to get folded like this on this featherbed twice

Rizwan showed that he can adjust in overseas conditions with a pretty good 95 in Aus. Sarfaraz is 32 and would be at the end of his career by the time World Test Championship would be finishing. No doubt Sarfraz was did really well at home when Pak reached no 1 rankings but I guess the way Rizwan has performed in domestics and for Pak A he deserves the spot unless he completely goes out of form and Sarfaraz shows good domestic form.

In ODIs he Rizwan is much superior to Sarfaraz without much doubt as he averages close to 50 in List A.
 
Congrats to PAK.

Absolute shambolic Test match for us, where players couldn't maintain the basic discipline of the game. The fundamental of Test match batting is to play out by sessions - that's is the core difference with LO cricket and two innings cricket. They blow the game in last 15 minutes of day 3!!!

I think, it's an emotional call to award Naseem the MoM - if it was a bowler, should have been Shaheen, otherwise my MoM was Babar, took the away in two sessions of Day 2.

Anyway, hope next Test in two months time will last longer enough.

As it was a pretty much a batting wicket especially for day 2 or 3 I guess that is why it went to Naseem as he was able to take wickets when wicket was pretty decent to bat and BD batsmen Momin ul and Shanto were batting without much trouble.

Shaheen was really good but his performance came on first day on a fresh wicket while Naseem was able to produce a hatrick on a much less supportive wicket on day 3. These are the only reasons I can think off.

Yes it was a batting paradise. So bowlers get more cerdit.
 
You judge Naseem against top opposition like Eng, Aus, NZ, SA, Ind, not hapless BD battling lineup.
 
Has anyone pointed that Nigel Llong has had a horrid test in terms of calls.
 
Congrats to Bangladesh for snatching another innings defeat instead of pushing themselves to make Pakistan bat again. Nothing for Pakistan to benefit from this tour as well before much more tough UK tour. Not one player from Pak was challenged by Bangladesh. All TTFs of Pakistan side played their usual crap to ensure place in the team and none used this opposition to make a 200 or more.
 
Good win here, hopefully the same in 2nd test, then onwards to lords to give england a good pasting.

120 easy WTC points thank you very much
 
Epic phainta. SSA should have been the MOM tho. Congrats to the team!
 
8 Tests left for Pakistan.
1 vs Bangladesh = 60 points.
3 in England = 40 points each.
2 in New Zealand = 60 points each.
2 vs South Africa = 60 points each.
 
Poor performance but not unexpected. BD have serious works to do in Test format.

Batting used to be our strength in Test but that too has now become weak.

Something has to be done.

Congratulations to Pakistan.
 
Shameful that this team has been making such looserish attempts to dictate to the PCB in the last ten years. Glad the PCB refused to put up with their rubbish all this while.

Mominul Haque aims to draw inspiration from U19 team

Following his side's heavy defeat in the first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh Test captain Mominul Haque said his team will look to seek inspiration from the junior team, who created history by winning the ICC U19 World Cup in South Africa.

Put in to bat first Bangladesh were bundled for 233 with only Mohammad Mithun scoring a half-century. Things only got worse for them in the second innings as Naseem Shah took a hat-trick to bundle them for 168, consigning them to defeat by an innings and 44 runs.

Mominul Haque minced no words in his assessment of his team's performance. "It was a very disappointing performance by us, there is no excuse for it and I think we have to improve a lot of things," he said.

"In home conditions every team is very good. They know our strength and they bowled very well. They worked very hard and it was more disappointing because we could not get even one 100-run partnership. I think it is very difficult to score big runs if you get out at 30 or 35, because then you cannot make good partnerships. We have lost the last eight or nine Test matches and we are working to overcome it."

To do that, Haque is willing to learn and take inspiration from all sources, and said that the U19 team's victory in the World Cup final serves as a great lesson for self-belief. "If you want to learn something, you can learn from your juniors and from everywhere. They can give us some knowledge on how to get good results," said the 28-year-old.

"They really fought back on the ground and we should learn from them. We have to learn one more thing from them and that is the way they have shown self-belief."

A group of the Bangladesh national team, who were handed a humiliating innings and 44-run defeat by Pakistan during their first World Test Championship fixture of the three-phased tour on the fourth morning of the Rawalpindi Test, are scheduled to return to the country today.

Bangladesh succumbed to their sixth consecutive Test defeat when their first Test against Pakistan ended on the fourth day. The Tigers were orginally scheduled to board the flight home from Pakistan tonight. However, most of the Bangladesh players preferred not staying an extra day in Pakistan as they boarded the flight back home yesterday night. They are scheduled to arrive today at 4:40 pm Bangladesh time.

Only Taijul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Ebadot Hossain and Abu Jayed opted to stay back a day. They will be arriving tomorrow.

The Tigers are next scheduled to face Zimbabwe at home. Bangladesh will play a lone Test, three ODIs and two T20Is against Zimbabwe, starting from February 22 before going to Pakistan in April for the third phase of their tour.
