***Official*** Bangladesh in Pakistan

[James90]

Pakistan keeping vital wickets in hand. Can't see them losing from here really.

Bangladesh missing Rana in my opinion. Rest In Peace

Yeah, definitely. Such a sad loss. Selfishly, he'd be the perfect player at the moment - batting number seven and bowling a solid 10 overs every time.

 

[Beleg]

how the hell did they come up with 158 of 25 given the bangers' runrate?

 

[James90]

Ah, right, yeah. So Pakistan should have to score at the same rate even though they've got half the number of overs and 10 wickets in hand. By now D/L is surely accepted as the fairest measure. Also the fact that Bangladesh were robbed of two overs at the death where they would have lifted their run rate.

 

[CrazY GirL]

that D/L Method sucks big time...Pakistan should have gotten a target where they had to play at the rate of 4.6 coz Bangla scored at this rate...but what did we get ? 6.3...that was really unfair...but Salman Butt and Yousuf and rest of the batsman did really well...credit goes to Pakistan...They deserved to win

Lifted their rate to over 6 from under 5?

Haha, no. Bangladesh were under the assumption of more overs. When you're under the impression that you have more overs to bat, you score more slowly. Note the difference between the scoring rates of a Twenty20 game and a Test match, for an exaggerated example.

Shahadat in

For Rasel

 

[cricman]

I thought they had it, 19 runs of the 46th over and than Free Hit and all of a sudden Mashrafe starts swinging and missing Full tosses and we lose by 23 runs

Tamim's run out was unfortunate honestly a freak play 99 outta 100 times it's a 4 and 99 outta 100 time a guy doesn't hit the stumps from the boundary line, Ashraful run out hurt, Aftab playing a reverse sweep made me

I think we'll pull out a win in the next 2.

 

[James90]

Oh dear. Finally they get the batting right and it's still less than what the opposition can produce. I won't write off Bangladesh winning a match but I think their chance has gone.

Great performance chasing a big total there in that 3rd ODI. Well done Bangladesh.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Very well done..and i must say unexpected!! I never expected them to win any of these matches....all I hoped for was a decent batting performance...because their bowling has always been above average! The only reason they lost the match was because they have never been in such situations before..I dont think they believed they could win this match when they went into bat..and thats what caused those silly runouts!!

Anyways, for the sake of cricket, I hope Tamim Iqbal and Shakib are better and more mature players after this match!!

 

[slowfinger]

5-0.

They'll be flogged.

XD THATS THAT

 

[Athlai]

Tamim is the future of Bangers cricket. Solid opener. Showed his stuff to us Kiwi's now he's showing it again. Go you beauty go.

 

[albo97056]

one step forward several back again.... 42/4

I really like Younis Khan, but FFS he's a whinger. Will throw his toys whenever he's given the opportunity.

You get the feeling he's sick of the PCB, which is fair enough, but what surprises me is he didn't take his cricket kit and just go to the ICL with the cash.

Still reckon he's a gun though. Big fan, just wish he'd stop crying all the time.

Well he eventually pulled out of this series citing personal reasons and the rumour mill is suggesting that he is contemplating early retirement. Apparently his sick and tired of all the 'drama' which surrounds represents Pakistani cricket.

Hopefully that’s just a rumour for if Pakistan loses Khan then they will well and truly be down **** creek.

 

[TT Boy]

Ton for Shakib. Came at a fair lick as well and critically Bangladesh now has some runs to defend. Credit to Mortaza as well for keeping Shakib company, nearly a hundred run standard for the ninth wicket.

5.4 Shahadat Hossain to Salman Butt, 2 runs, dropped! fuller and wide outside the off stump, driven in the air to extra cover, goes through Mahmudullah Riad's hand to the deep.
