Pakistan vs Bangladesh | ICC World T20 | Group A | St Lucia | Bangladesh Innings

[Momo]

So Pak 172 in 20 overs. Bangladesh need 173 to win.

 

[Saj]

Tamim, Ashraful and Sakib are the key men.

Get a couple of them early and we are in business.

 

[Momo]

The Markhors have done pretty well. Let's see how the Tigers respond.

 

[Lethal]

Come on Aamer & Sami.

Serious firepower up-front.

 

[JilaWatan]

i dont get y ppl are still saying they wud want nazir over butt...butt performed, and even then u ppl here are not satisfied...kabhi tu khush ho jaa kero

 

[Momo]

How Sami bowls will be interesting to see. It's his first T20 of course.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Love the world cup theme song called "bring it"

especially the music Gr8 baatting by pakistan!

 

[Monsee]

Excellent score by Pak but short by 20 odd runs considering the start we got...still is an easily defend-able total if bowlers just maintain line-n-length

 

[t_kaay]

i dont get y ppl are still saying they wud want nazir over butt...butt performed, and even then u ppl here are not satisfied...kabhi tu khush ho jaa kero

my thoughts too.....damned if he does and damned if he doesnt

 

[amar1212]

when top order does good, middle order sucks
when middle order does good, top order sucks
when both, middle and top orders do good, lower order sucks
lol

but overall very good score thanks to the openers but afridi's tactics failed (bringing in hitters after openers got out late

 

[JilaWatan]

my thoughts too.....damned if he does and damned if he doesnt

im so happy nazir ko nahi khilaya

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So what should be the bowling plan from here on?! Start off with Aamer and Sami and then Ajmal to follow?! or 2 overs each for Aamer and Sami to start with and Hafeez comes on?!

 

[sannah12]

Hope Ajmal opens the bowling.

 

[t_kaay]

bowling should be aamer and sami with ajmal and shahid to choke the middle overs

 

[Cheguvera]

im so happy nazir ko nahi khilaya

Nazir was never in contention...people were clamoring for Shahzaib's inclusion in the squad...and would have been perfect at open or even one-drop in place of Butt or Hafeez...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Any ideas then...?!

 

[Cheguvera]

Bangers can still push pakistan here...173 is a very good target, but not an impossible one at that...

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Butt is proving slowly and surely that he is the best batsman in our team currently. Not the best opener the best batsman. He proved it in Aus and he proved it today.
It was really funny seeing all these so called hitters trying so hard to hit boundaries but were not getting any where as he was hitting them quite easily.
I never thought I see a day where Afridi was bringing down our runrate where as Butt was picking it up. Afridi did the selfish thing trying to hit would have been better of giving butt more of the strike. We scored 15-20 runs less because of Afridi

 

[JilaWatan]

Nazir was never in contention...people were clamoring for Shahzaib's inclusion in the squad...and would have been perfect at open or even one-drop in place of Butt or Hafeez...

chal eh!!! baar ho...he scored 70...kush ho jao

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Bangla scoring more than 120 would be a bad day for our bowling side
we shoud beat them by atleast 50 runs.

 

[imshally81]

i think abdur razzaq should share the new ball with the amir

 

[Khabri420]

Pak bowlers need to put the pressure on the Tigers from ball one.

 

[Abdullah22]

Tamim, Ashraful and Sakib are the key men.

Get a couple of them early and we are in business.

Don't forget sami. :Sami

 

[z2_daredevil]

chal eh!!! baar ho...he scored 70...kush ho jao

+1
loool

 

[Pak_Power]

Aamer will deliver.

 

[Saj]

185 was on, but it was always going to be difficult for the new batsmen when they came in.

 

[cricketpassion]

Aamir is ready

 

[Lethal]

Tamim tiyaar hain.

Aamer has the ball.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So what should be the bowling plan from here on?! Start off with Aamer and Sami and then Ajmal to follow?! or 2 overs each for Aamer and Sami to start with and Hafeez comes on?!

I take it there are no ideas around....

 

[Saj]

Aamer to pick up a wicket in his first over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aamer starts off

Dot ball on the money!

 

[Easa]

I predict Bangladesh will stutter early on, stage a mini recovery, and end at about 130 odd.

We batted well on a strange pitch. Full credit to the openers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No bowling speeds still up - Quite shambolic to see still they havent got them up!

 

[Lethal]

185 was on, but it was always going to be difficult for the new batsmen when they came in.

True - it was never going to be easy for the likes of Afridi, A.Razzaq or Misbah. No time to settle on a slow pitch with the ball a lot softer.

 

[Pak_Power]

Good start by Aamer!

 

[pak4life]

whats happened to the speed gun

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good cricketer Mohammad Aamer - Harsha Bhogle

 

[Lethal]

Aamer on money so far.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ban off the mark

Tamim gets the 1

 

[imshally81]

first run from the bat

 

[JilaWatan]

dead pitch...slow outfield...big boundaries ...it will be hard to score boundaries.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good ball by Aamer

 

[Pak_Power]

No speed cameras??

 

[cricketpassion]

1St tiger is out )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

[Khabri420]

[Seen Sheen]

[iZeeshan]

[haroon]

[GLORY OF '92]

What up with the lack of speeds?

 

[iZeeshan]

Upset that there are no speed guns.

Would like to see how fast these two are bowling.

 

[imshally81]

4444444

 

[Atif]

[Lethal]

Cracking pull/swivel by Tamim.
