Bangladesh to sneak an early win due to Pakistan not taking the opposition seriously enough and then to ride on sheer enthusiasm to a hard fought series win.

3-2

Heard it here first.

These days I have go into series involving Bangladesh with zero expectations*.

It will almost certainly be a clean sweep, although in this case I'm holding out the slight hope that the Pakistanis will have one of their now familiar brain explosions and we can nick a win at some stage.

I expect Tamim to come out of this series with an average of 40, as the Pakistani pitches will give their bowlers little assistance in exploiting his dodgy technique. He can rock back without moving his feet and flay his cut shots and drives with impunity.

I also expect Ashraful to stroke eight boundaries on the way to a stylish 40 during one of the games, and then do absolutely bugger all in the other four.

You heard it here first.

*err, other than the ones I just listed, obviously. D'oh!

Sounds about right.

I've got money on Pakistan not whitewashing the series, which raises the question, does it ever rain in Pakistan?

70/3 game is well in the balance here, this Pakistan team certainly doesn't look like it could easily run through an invigorated Bangladeshi side. Nafees and Tamim are two class act batsman at the top of the order and in years to come should form the basis of a strong team. Hoping that they bite this Pak team in the ass here.

MoYO adn Malik turning it on now. Again a lack of quality back up bowlers hurting the opposition.

LOL @ the ridiculous run rate. 10 runs an over for the last ten overs, and 6 runs an over, overall.

What's the record for most number of runs scored in a day since the 90 over introduction? At this rate, they'll be 500 by stumps....
