Pakistan v Bangladesh | Match 43, World Cup | 5th July, 2019 | Lords's | Pakistan innings

[Hasan123]

In fact Pak have never done it before. Some are even calling for 500. That too with our lack of firepower

Some people have no shame.

 

[rhony]

Imam will go bonkers after he gets his hundred

 

[Indiafan]

So you are saying if teams needed to achieve these two milestones in one game we would have seen more such matches of teams scoring 400+ and bowling out opposition under 100?

Thats one odd theory mate.

No, you would see teams trying to. It's the intent being questioned here, not results

 

[DRsohail]

One of them has to take the charge.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD’s target should be to target the top rankings across the formats. Trying to be better than just one team shouldnt be the aim when there are other teams as well.

BD doesnt have to surpass Pak to prove anything.

You misunderstood my post.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shut Up Athar Ali pls. You don't need to drag Bangladesh in everything

 

[chuck]

Only 282 more needed.

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistan is miles behind other teams. Our opener can’t even hit a four even after playing 40 overs.

 

[Jeetlodil]

These are worthless innings for two reasons. One, Pakistan have shown no intent of trying 400 plus. Trying and failing are two different things. Second , Bangladesh fielding and field placings have been not up to the mark. Anyone could have scored at this rate, even Shoab Malik in his poor run of form. No risks to neutralize the spinners. Like the batting has bowed down to spinners, and some wouldnt even rate these bowlers as regular spinners.

 

[Leeon1994]

Imam is ready to take charge at 88 while Hafeezz scared at the beginning of his innings.

Look for the synonym of selfish on google and you will find Hafeez written there.

 

[Titan24]

So you are saying if there is no cure of cancer ,the impossible illness...

We shouldnt try to find it? Man only if pharma companies thought like you..

Pharma Company have a long time on their hands to find difficult cures as nobody is expecting them to start with, they just need to show a bit of progress maybe every few years or so to keep getting funded.

Its in no way comparable to a cricket match where you just have one day to perform and decide whether you want to take that less than 1% chance or not with cost of trying to do it and completely loosing the plot. They dont have years to try and achieve a particular milestone with a minute possibility.

 

[Rayyman]

Imad should come next. I think he can play a good innings here.

 

[Hasan123]

Imam has done well today.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Batting has been mediocre at best

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Yeah, deffo thought the same.

and the third umpire went bang bang bang bang... like he was in a hurry a hurry to catch a bus..... i think if it was an englisman or an aussies or an indian, they would have taken much longer to come to the decision..

 

[ZaudStorm]

Disgusting from pakistan players.

when playing Dead rubber, atleast there should have been some try to go for 400-450 odd.

there has been zero intent...playing purely just for same of personal milestones

Go and score 400+ then, I'm sure you could do a better job than the Pakistani team. Really feel bad for PCT to have such fans.

 

[Rayyman]

Hafeez

 

[Green Patriot]

Imam on to his first century.
Cementing his place after a poor worldcup.

 

[ekpakistani]

Athar ali khan feels bd can chase 700

 

[m.shah]

Hafeez playing for his place

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should easily reach 320. Anything below that will be disappointing for them.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Batting has been mediocre at best

good .. trying to cheer everyone with a joke... u r funny man

 

[Leeon1994]

Bangladesh is hurting Pakistan in the long term. Instead of winning they are taking revenge by helping cement players like Hafeez in our team.

 

[Titan24]

No, you would see teams trying to. It's the intent being questioned here, not results

We saw the intent from India against Eng and that too in a loosing cause.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imam eyeing that 100 for the honours board name

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Shut Up Athar Ali pls. You don't need to drag Bangladesh in everything

He is worse than Sanjay & Ramiz.

 

[Rayyman]

What the heck is Professor doing!

 

[rhony]

Hafeez Bhai doesn't want to flop in his last game.

 

[sweep_shot]

We don't have anyone better than Athar. Others are worse. LOL.

 

[Leeon1994]

We saw the intent from India against Eng and that too in a loosing cause.

When you realize Hafeez is still playing faster than Dhoni but on the same level as Misbah

 

[ARK Rafay]

He is worse than Sanjay & Ramiz.

Whenever a commentator talks about other team he starts trying to relate everything to Bangladesh and makes it like Bangladesh is God in cricket

 

[chuck]

Hafeez on mighty 14 off 16. Legend

 

[Leeon1994]

Only 170 needed from last 10 overs with 17 an over totally achievable.

 

[Rayyman]

Pakistan need a six hitter in that Top 5.

Imam
Babar
Haris
Rizwan+

That fifth player has to have power without being a hack.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hafeez Bhai doesn't want to flop in his last game.

He is giving himself a farewell and a fifty

 

[ekpakistani]

Last 10.. Aim 20 / over.. Take some risks

 

[chuck]

Only 170 needed from last 10 overs with 17 an over totally achievable.

I thought we were aiming for 500

 

[Green Patriot]

Go and score 400+ then, I'm sure you could do a better job than the Pakistani team. Really feel bad for PCT to have such fans.

He is an Indian.

 

[soulhunter]

Lol at imam feasting on minnows again to up his avg.

 

[Lovelydayall]

Funny that Indian bloggers are talking about PCT not showing intent. HAHAHA

 

[Jeetlodil]

Batting has been mediocre at best

Plus 1. Numbers dont show the right picture.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Hafeez man you would've been great middle order batsman

 

[Titan24]

Pakistan need a six hitter in that Top 5.

Imam
Babar
Haris
Rizwan+

That fifth player has to have power without being a hack.

Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah and Umar Akmal again can be tried for that role.

I dont know many else maybe add Hamad Azam to the list.

 

[ekpakistani]

Mortaza runs like granny haha

 

[ARK Rafay]

Plus 1. Numbers dont show the right picture.

Bangladesh bowling has been poor and their fielding even worse

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

BD’s target should be to target the top rankings across the formats. Trying to be better than just one team shouldnt be the aim when there are other teams as well.

BD doesnt have to surpass Pak to prove anything.

Awesome take bro...so fed up of the one-upmanship...
Tbh bangla are improving, and in other sports other than cric as well, coming back to cricket -bangla college system is proving to be a good feeder system to their senior leagues....I have a fellow indian friend who coaches in BD domestics and he says he sees amazing talent coming thru...especially pacemen, there is a real emphasis on fitness and pace bowling that was'nt there say 10 years back...i feel BD are on the way up and going to challenge a lot of teams harder very soon....

 

[Hasan123]

Lol people still hoping we achieve it . )

Bangladesh wont get all out for 90 even if we get 400.

 

[sweep_shot]

Many of the seats are empty. Not fully sold out?

 

[Pakpak]

Probably to not have 2 left handers at the crease against Bangladesh's off spinners.

No, he always comes ahead.

 

[chuck]

Hafeez is on to something

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lol people still hoping we achieve it . )

Bangladesh wont get all out for 90 even if we get 400.

We didn't expected them to be 90 all out. But give it a fight, give it a try.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

i abs hate this bangladeshi commentator ... Athar... Where the other guy was talking about Imam having an oppertunity to get onto the honors board at Lords, without waiting for the guy to even let finish his sentence, he strted talking about how Tamim is on the honors borad bcz of a test hundred some million years ago... talk abt being pathatic and biased and idiot

 

[Leeon1994]

160 more runs in 54 balls shaba boys we can do it.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Even if the target is not 400 plus, isnt it time to take risks.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Can Hafeez make 100 off 60 balls?

 

[Abdullah719]

Hafeez Bhai doesn't want to flop in his last game.

Last game?

 

[Rayyman]

Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah and Umar Akmal again can be tried for that role.

I dont know many else maybe add Hamad Azam to the list.

Preferably an opener because I don't think any of Babar, Haris or Rizwan will be pushed to open.

Need someone like Finch, Bairstow, Sharma or Gayle at the top of the order.

 

[Titan24]

Thanks bro.

Yes BD has some pretty decent upcoming cricketers, not sure about too many pacers at the moment other than maybe Qazi Onkik but surely they have some pretty good young batsmen on the way.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Batsmen playing for averages here

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imam please don't get stuck now. Dot balls is killing Pakistan at this stage

 

[WengerOut]

Imam is playing at over 100 SR. Is the pitch that good?

 

[chuck]

Playing for his 100.

 

[aukhan]

Congrats Imam....

 

[sweep_shot]

Well played, Imam.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Batsmen playing for averages here

Can't believe we were so naive to think they'll go for 400 today

 

[Leeon1994]

Ok Rohit ul Haq time for some sixes..

 

[Jeetlodil]

Lol people still hoping we achieve it . )

Bangladesh wont get all out for 90 even if we get 400.

What Bangladesh scores is not material at this point. Even in a regular game, attack should have started 5 overs earlier

 

[sweep_shot]

Imam is playing at over 100 SR. Is the pitch that good?

Pitch is flat. Yes.

 

[Mamoon]

Mark Nicholas is an epic commentator. Cricket nerds dislike him, but he really knows the art of making moments memorable.

 

[Pakpak]

Lol the most useless 100.

 

[Leeon1994]

So Imam would have took 150 balls to make century against a better bowling attack?

 

[ekpakistani]

Ha ha.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Has Hafeez cemented his spot for the next few years?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Mark Nicholas is an epic commentator. Cricket nerds dislike him, but he really knows the art of making moments memorable.

He's one of my favorites

 

[Titan24]

Preferably an opener because I don't think any of Babar, Haris or Rizwan will be pushed to open.

Sharjeel can comeback maybe. Sharna’s career changed when he was given opening slot so matbe we can experiment with some of the middle order aggressive batsmen along with the hope that someone like Zeeshan Malik or Haider Ali come thru.

 

[chuck]

We are half way stage - another 250 to go. Sarfi still targeting 500 with only 2 wickets down.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imam pulled a Guptill

 

[ARK Rafay]

That's a good kick by Imam. And that's Goal! I mean OUT!

 

[Hasan123]

Unlucky way to go.

 

[Leeon1994]

This reminds me of when got hit wicket back in the day.
