Not slow and boring for Pakistan though? Poor show from Bangladesh mind u.
Yep very poor from Bangladesh! Frustrating to see from a BD point of view as well!
7 wickets down now... Shakib gone! This game is pretty much over! Pathetic really. Cant bat through 50 overs, what chance do we have in the Tests?!!
Stuart Law & the BCB better get there act together! Jamie Siddons was making good progress as coach and they chose not to renew his contract!
Tiger its 74-9 now mate. Where is the Bangladesh that beat England in the world cup?
Another 5 for for Afridi.
The Bangladesh that beat England have been taken apart by the idiotic people at the BCB! Why would any team change a coach that was making steady progress with a bunch of youngsters, who are learning their trade on slow tracks?!
The pitches in Bangladesh don't help players like Shafiul & Rubel to flourish. Thats why you see so many spinners! Under Jamie Siddons, these players were playing out of their skins. You just had to see Shafiul's performance against England in England to notice he had some level of skill!
We all out now for 91! Pakistan should win this by 10 wickets!!
I have to agree these pitches at Mirpur are tailor made for Pak bowlers. Did Siddons get the sack or did he resign?
He didnt resign. The BCB failed to give him a new contract, so therefore he had to leave!
1 positive BD can take from this game... Our lowest total v Pakistan in ODI was is 87! So atleast we managed to pass that score!!
How many overs do you think it will take Pakistan to get to the total?
Pakistan team has got the strongest spin attack in the world and thats the primary reason why they are the best side under subcontinental conditions.
Pakistan... 36/1 after 9.2 overs
Making the total seemingly with ease! Nasir Hossain bowls out Imran Farhat! He should have had a catch in the over before so just as well he got that one!
Last thing you need with only 91 to defend is dropped catches!!
Rubel Hossain & Shakib Al Hasan pick up a wicket each to take the score to 42/3 off 11.3 overs...
Surely just a blip in the Pakistan innings??
WTF make that 4 down. I was expecting the game to be over after my last meeting.
Pakistan 44/4... 12.3 overs! Rubel Hossain gets Sarfraz Ahmed for his 2nd wicket!!
Nothing to worry about for Pakistan though with Umar Akmal & Afridi still to come...
Some good looking Bangladeshi birds the cameramen keep focusing on.
LOL Kash... Gives you something to watch though dont it!
With BD getting a few wickets, it makes me wonder what if the top 3 batsmen all put 20 each on the board. Could have been more of a game.
Pakistan has missed out an opportunity.Couple of decent young openers should have been tested like Khurram and Nasir but we have kept persistence with perennial failure Farhat.
This fightback will give Bangladesh a lot of confidence after 2 dismal batting performances consecutively.Surely, the remaining games between the 2 sides will not be as onesided as this.
Tiger if you had got 150 on that track it could have been close. Pak don't chase well and we have so many batting flaws with Farhat and batsman like Khan and Misbah batting slow. Finally we have a wicket keeper who can keep well but has no idea when he is batting.
Credit to pakistan for making a game of it............not!!!
Kash, not watching.... what am i missing? Hopefully those bengla babes will be featured on the highlights show later on tonight.....
Lol Afridi I think they will have show them to make up the 1 hour highlights.
What are u missing? As per usual a good bowling performance and then a poor batting response. Openers got out to poor shots, Khan was unlucky and Safraz is nothing better than a number 11 being promoted.
To be honest, I thought the Pakistan Batsmen would have scored the 92 runs needed within 17 overs! Required just over 5 an over to meet that target! So Bangladesh have exceeded expectations so far.
I hope this does breed confidence within the team for the remaining 2 ODI's. Show that if we get a decent score on the board and bat 50 overs we got half a chance!
63/5 now.....
dear ohh dear......
They don't call Pakistan the entertainers for no reason.
Why has Malik bottled it before Afridi?
Arghh... These dropped catching chances making me think what might have been!
Yeah I was wondering why Shoaib Malik hasn't come out yet! Not in the best form of late though.
Malik probably wants Afridi to show him how its done...... Afridi should come above him anyways on current form..
Malik is just a poor mans shankar......
