Pakistan win the 2nd Test against Bangladesh by an innings and 8 runs - Win series by a 0-2 margin

Surely something needs to be done by ICC if Bangladesh fail to win any test match in this cycle as well. They didn't won any test in last cycle as well.
Maybe World test championship needs to habe 8 top teams only & Bangla can play in 2nd division with Afghanistan, Ireland & Zimbabwe.

Good idea you can add Scotland UAE and others for a second division where one team gets promoted and has a chance to play the top 8 teams it’ll give Bangladesh the incentive to improve their cricket.
 
Kind of amusing Faheem has literally done nothing all match. Didn't get to bat and hasn't bowled a single over yet and might not even get a chance to do so this innings.

Just looked up his stats. Faheem has 22 wickets @34 and 630 runs @35. Most of the good stuff has happened in the last year and a half. He can relax this game :)
 
Forget about winning. Competing itself is missing. this is an absolute surrender.

Exactly that's why ICC should force Bangladesh out of test championship to make it more credible. They can play few test matches every year vs top 8 teams but just not in test championship.
 
They are finally playing like they should’ve in the first innings to block deliveries and avoid losing their wicket.
 
This is simply sad viewing, how these players are letting down their fans. Horrendous display.
 
Why has Babar given the easiest bowlers to target new batsmen. Makes no sense
 
Nauman just hasnt looked like picking a wicket this series. Doesnt seem to have an armer and is not deceptive at all. Didnt know he's so bad. Surely a cause for concern for Pak.
 
Sometimes i think BD fans are so kind with their team. They give too much benefit of doubt to their players. India/Pakistan fans are less forgiving in that regard with their non performing players. How long they are going to rely on Rahim and Shakib to pull off a miracle for them.
 
I don't understand the concept of Faheem where there are two spinners in the team, surely two fast bowlers won't get tried when you have spinners bowling majority of overs.

Just pick a proper batsman like Saud Shakeel, he can gave the team 5 to 6 overs of bowling in day if needed.
 
Nauman has been really off target. Bowled one good ball and next ball is a half tracker. He is done. We need better spinners.
 
This should be the last match for Nauman if he doesn't do anything on a pitch that has plenty for spinners and bowling against Bangladesh batsmen.
 
Lunch break has come at a good time. Pakistan need to regroup.

This pair + Shakib are BDs best. Pakistan just need to open one end up.

Surely Hasan Ali could have two overs more overs of new ball, he hasn't bowled at all before in this match. Harmless Faheem was brought in too early.
 
Last hour of commentary has been only about BD domestic structure

we shld b thanking our stars its not abt family politics in BD and how tht hampers BD progress in cricket and how if the players didnt have to face the family politics, they would have won the Test Championship, ODI WC, ODI champions trophy and T20 WCs ...
 
Some fight by bangladesh. We probably have 30 more overs of play today. Bangladesh can easily draw the match.
 
Azhar Ali, Nauman Ali and Fahim Ashraf are the weak links in our team. Saud Shakil, Zafar Gohar and Nasim Shah should play play ahead of these players.
 
Musfiq and Liton looks settle. We don't have any express fast bowler to destabilize Bangladesh batting. Draw is most likely unless miracle happen.
 
Calm down. BD batsmen are too late in realising how to play. It just matter of one wicket and the tail won't be able to put up a fight. Pak will win.
 
I am missing ramiz raja in the commentary box. This only bangladesh oriented commentary is so trashy.
 
Can commentary get any worse?

Honestly I don’t even comment on these type of matches on PP but this commentary has made me login. Over 26.3 atahar ali khan is going all gaga about how well Liton das has played that short ball but reality was he was late on it by 2 year atleast instead of appreciating the brilliant the ball he’s appreciating the batsman who had no clue in any world how to deal with that ball he barely moved out of the way at the last millisecond laughable and cringe fest commentary to say the least .

Yah , extremely biased and poor commentary.
 
I wish Hasan doesn't get any wicket now so he gets booted from team for his below par performances.

Excuse me? He’s been the best bowler for Pakistan in 2021 y’all got way too much hatred and your own personal agendas against certain players he ain’t getting booted cause some malak mudassar doesn’t like him on PP lol.

Aray @meengrain bhai, I dont even know him personally so what personal agenda u r talking ?

He has performed well post comeback but couldn't maintain the same level of performance for longer period.

We have other guys like Naseem who have performed well and deserve a chance.

He has been pakistans best test fast bowler for one year now.

You kidding?

He got 5 wickets in first innings if last test match.
 
May be 20 more overs

No, it's around 2 pm in Bangladesh. Yesterday they played till 4:30 pm. It's also bright and sunny day compared to yesterday.
Even if they play till 4:30 BD time only, Pak can bowl nearly 35 overs. Pak has enough overs to win the match.
 
No doubt his best performing year has been 2021 in red ball cricket. But who have we played against in 2021? WI, Zim, Bangladesh and SA.
Why not drop shaheen afridi as well? He too has done well against these opponents only. Hasan made a comeback last year after injury and has been phenomenol for pakistan in test cricket. South africa is a good team of pace bowling.

By your standards no bowler should ever play.
 
Good fightback by the two experienced stars of Bangladesh. Pakistan really just need one of them to open the gate.
 
Pathetic captaincy by Babar. If Nauman is so poor why doesn't he try Azhar and Fawad? They cannot be worse than Nauman.
 
Nawaz is a better spinner than Nauman

Nawaz adds batting options so could have selected Naseem instead of Faheem. Don't expect anything out of the box from the captain.
 
Babar is such a robot. He will bowl Nauman probably another 10+ overs and Bangladesh will happily negotiate his bowling. Both Fawad and Azhar ali could get at least a wicket each.
 
Obsession with Nauman bowling would cost us this match. Pathetic bowler. Failed to take even a wicket in a spinning track. Even if we have 50 overs left, Nauman will waste atleast 20 of them.
