just bowl wicket to wicket to last man
I'm expecting a check from Bangladesh fans here.Out of nowhere, suddenly becoming a match.
not over yetI'm expecting a check from Bangladesh fans here.
Lol. This is some epic Gambhiring.not over yet
It is nownot over yet
So I was rightThis has gotten way too close for comfort and I thought it would already be over. Pakistan have batted superbly on a deck that is flatter than I expected.
Only watched on and off but didn't see too much wrong with the BD bowling.
They should pick Ali Raza for that test series in WI, he is not an out and out express pacer but he can bowl North of 140-144ks in T20 not sure about test cricket. He is clearly their one last hope.Pakistan do have fast bowlers who can 90 mph + , Ali Raza , Ihsanullah , Ubaid Shah ..I saw it in PSL ..
They just dont pick them. They like randomly try players here and there with no real blueprint.
Thats definitely the big story hereSo I was right![]()
Pakistan does not know whats it best team is. Always going to struggle if there is no stability in selection.Fwiw Pak should really have won that one but for some unforgivably soft dismissals by their top 7 in both innings, just gifting us their wickets. They could easily have had a first innings lead.
Overall I'm surprised at how bad they are. They not only lack actual quality but they also consistently do sloppy things in all three facets that give away the advantage in crucial moments. Or to put it another way, it was like playing against Bangladesh.
As for us - I think we basically played at something close to our best capacity and it was satisfying winning this after losing a home test to Zimbabwe and then getting thrashed at home by South Africa like it's still about 2004.
Feeling pretty good about cricket right now
Felt like BD batters mostly threw their wickets away rather than Pakistani medium Pacers having anything to do with it.Fwiw Pak should really have won that one but for some unforgivably soft dismissals by their top 7 in both innings, just gifting us their wickets. They could easily have had a first innings lead.

This test is lot closer then it looks on paper. It took pretty special knock from litton kumar das to win for you guys. Anyway bd right now are pretty good test team and if india don't win in sl in August bd should rated as best asian test teamFwiw Pak should really have won that one but for some unforgivably soft dismissals by their top 7 in both innings, just gifting us their wickets. They could easily have had a first innings lead.

Wi have **** batters. If they prepare green pitches abbas will blow them awayWI is not going to be an easy series either for Pakistan. They have a terrible record in WI and have only 1 series win there in their entire history.
WI have drawn last two series 1-1 both at home and away vs Pak.
Alzaari Shamar and Seales would be a much tougher pace attack for these guys to deal with than the BD one.
