Pakistan v Bangladesh | 2nd T20I | Lahore | 25th January, 2020 | Bangladesh innings

[Deewana Mastana]

What was the point of giving shadab this over when the pacers were bowling so well?

So that he can help them get over the 100 mark.

 

[Snowflake]

Blaming the pitch instead of the batting lol

It doesn't have to be one or the other. He's not wrong

 

[Ronaldo7]

The pitch isn't great but it's not a 140 runs one

 

[Hawkeye]

The selectors see that he can bowl 150+ and is just 19 years old. Any country will invest in a bowler with that armoury. As long as the action isn't Wahab-esque and the bowler has a brain, he can develop the requisite skills.

It's a bit strange to be going on about how trash Hasnain is on a day where he's bowled pretty well. And he was moving the ball earlier too.

Agreed. He hasn't been excellent but has the raw ingredients, and deserves to be developed further.

Keep dreaming about that he can bowl 150kph. He can't. 1 delivery in a million deliveries does not mean that he can bowl 150kph. Rauf is much quicker than Hasnain and has variety to his bowling.

Hasnain is good length, good length, good length, short ball, slower short ball.

Shaheen is the only decent fast bowler we have in the country right now playing international cricket. Let's see how Rauf develops.

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh will get 140 max

 

[Mueez]

Shaheen is class yaar.

Our best bowling talent in the last couple of years.

 

[Rana]

Beautiful slower ball

You're too influenced by some of Mamoon's posts.

Have an independent mind too. Anyway, Hasnain isn't fully developed yet and is not a world beater. Shaheen is a pretty mature product.

 

[Rana]

That Shadab over was pointless!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Tamim is reminding me of Hashim Amla

 

[Hawkeye]

Bangladesh will get 140 max

Won't even get to that.

They're playing like true minnows, sadly. I hate to use this word for BD but they keep doing it.

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh have completely trolled Pakistan in this series and before it. Won the toss in two games to bat first and just have not batted! How do you expect the crowed to be excited for the return of cricket!

 

[Mueez]

Bullet like throw by Imad.

What a run-out.

 

[Snowflake]

The pitch isn't great but it's not a 140 runs one

That's true. But his point regarding this pitch not being ideal for T20 WC prep is valid.

 

[Slim]

Fielding has improved this series.

 

[maanleo]

That Shadab over was pointless!

One over had to be bowled by a spinner. Fast bowlers had only 4 overs left.

Crowd seems excited, its people like who are used to seeing the bowlers getting smashed all over the park getting disappointed.

 

[Slim]

Have to say Soumya Sarkar is one of the most useless players i have seen to come from Bangladesh.

 

[Gullycricket]

Why are they hiding a player like Soumaya Sarkar ?He should be playing in top three

 

[ARK Rafay]

Our pacers have bowled many wides in this series so far

 

[Markhor]

The only way Pakistan can win the T20 World Cup is on these dead slow pitches where we can play defensive cricket, and restrict teams to 140-150.

However on true surfaces as we can expect in Australia where par score will be around 180-200, our lack of power hitting and quality spin will be exposed.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lets hope in 3rd T20 we see Pakistan bat first.

 

[Slim]

He should be out of the team tbh

True.Couple that with our batting being non existent after Babar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mossadek and Shabbir missed by Bangladesh.

Hopefully they will have Sharjeel and Fakhar into the sides by then. Possibly Asif Ali and Umar Akmal also in the squad

 

[Mamoon]

No wonder they are ranked 9th and [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] was saying they will beat us.

I didn’t say that.

What I said was that a full-strength Bangladesh (i.e. with Shakib and Mushfiq) is a better ODI and T20 side than Pakistan in Asian conditions.

Our fans are too arrogant for a team that were whitewashed by Sri Lankan reserves at home only a few months ago.

Looks like it wasn’t a big enough reality check for some.

Nothing but humiliation awaits us in the upcoming two WT20s.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf gets Mahmudullah

 

[Mueez]

If we want to win the World Cup, we want our bowling to step up.

Batting hasn’t been a big problem for us in Australia.

It is the mammoth totals that we have conceded.

 

[Markhor]

Outstanding from Shaheen. I hope to God we manage him properly.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Nothing better to see than a pacer hitting the middle stump.

 

[Rana]

Rauf is a top class addition. Good death bowler who Pakistan was lacking

Even on dead slow pitches, India would comfortably maul us.

You get a reality check every day on this forum yet you are consistently in denial, what do you expect from others?

 

[sharmaji]

Excellent bowling by Pakistan.

Looks like you don't believe in the Mickey Arthur formula for T20s?

Why the sudden change?

It's Australian conditions we can't stop conceeding big totals there everytime. Even India's bowling attack will conceed 180+. We need to sort out both batting and bowling.

Sharjeel, Kamran and Fakhar needs to be back. Iftikhar and Khushdil should play all games in the middle order before the WT20.

My XI will be

Sharjeel
Babar
Kamran
Hafeez
Iftikhar
Khushdil/Amad
Imad/Yamin
Shadab
Amir
Rauf
Shaheen

 

[Rana]

Excellent, excellent bowling!

Mamoon bhai has his own party ABP, anyone but Pakistan.
