The answer to flat tracks are two things.

A. YORKER
B. REVERSE SWING.


Thanks ICC for taking out the only realistic number 2 option.
 
I simply hate Bhatti. The Sami clone with no brains.

On what criteria is he reselected after getting hammered in Sharjah.
 
Asad Ch: "Bowler who has dismissed most often Sangakkara in ODIs is Shahid Afridi - 9 times. He is yet to bowl at him in this match." I suspect he might be in very soon. These two look very comfy against pace

This is a crunch game provided the minnows will not win against the big boys so far Pakistan to qualify they need to beat one of SL or Ind and knowing Ind game is always a pressure one we need to win this to ensure we qualify for final
 
Really poor bowling performance all round so far, we could be left chasing 300+ here now.

Bhatti is be the worst of the lot and has been all over the place, he really needs to work on his bowling.
 
I dont understand why pakistan in investing on umar akmal when they can give a chance to muhammad rizwan.
 
41 runs in last 5 overs, seriously need to tighten up here.
 
What kind of shitty pitch is this ............. so flat :facepalm:

spot on it is flat as hell no moisture in the wicket so fast bowling was dead, then these bengalis have rolled lodes of dead grass into the wicket and what that has done is made the wicket hold up and not break up, so there is no turn for spinners as well, just a complete road that is slow and low.
 
Indians will murder our bowlers if this is the kind of pitches we will have for this tourny
 
Misbah and his mind. Not looking for wickets when your prime bowler is bowling
 
Misbah is just being passive in the field waiting for a wicket instead of trying to get one he shouldve given Ajmal a slip at least

Lankans on course for 300+ if they can do this to us Indians will destroy us

with these wickets and 4 outside circle this Asia Cup is going to be a big scoring one :)

Most ODI wickets in India and Bangladesh are like this to be honest.
 
Very boring match IMO for following reasons -

Pitch color is similar to Bajra Roti (Pearl Millet), cemented flat track.

Sick of watching Sri Lankans play so much in Asia.

Pathetic Hindi commentators, I need to recharge my Dish TV subscription for English. Watching match instead on cable TV.

What is point of Asia Cup? SL and BAN play boring cricket. Only India and Pakistan match will generate excitement, and Afghanistan is better in entertainment value than SL and BAN.

Its not a ICC tournament and crowd attendance for away team matches will be extremely low.

Rant over, switched off TV and back on PC.
 
If Pitches stay like this It will be an India SL final and we all know who'll win that

This could be a boring event. Flat tracks, high scores, rubbish commentators, low production values, no DRS.

well apart from ajmal and gul, and to some extent afridi, the rest of the pakistani bowlers will struggle on these pitches since they don't have the nouse , guile and skill level to bowl on flat roads.

no longer pakistan has likes of waqar, wasim, imran, and shoaib akhter for these type of tracks.
 
Rameez "marginal of error is minimal"

Oh bhai you can do everything right and still go for four. Its that kind of pitch.

:four more
 
That's why 320+ is the norm in India and Bangladesh

Which means that Misbah cannot afford to take his usual time to settle down. Pakistan will have to chase good throughout this tourney.
