Pak vs Bd is becoming same for bd as it was vs Ind few years back where Bd side knew they can put the side under pressure just by showing up some energy in the field.

 

Ind lost few series as well, think one where taskin emerged as a star and then Fizz

not in tests though.

 

these are not upsets. bangladesh is genuinely the better team.

[rollingstoned]

Match is poised nicely.

[bsriharsha]

Proper phainty for Pakistan.

[bsriharsha]

Lead of 250. Another 120 runs in the next session and a bit. And have a burst of pace for 10-12 overe and still have a relatively new ball first thing next morning.

[Tillu]

The score board started ticking only after Litton came to bat. Mushfiq with his small frame didn't have the power to hit these trundlers devoid of any pace to boundaries.

Bazball is going to murder them

Mushy is past 40 I think as long as he provides support to Liton his job is done.

BD have a brittle lower order as well

[bsriharsha]

England for some reason have always struggled against pakistan.

Brook and Root will be looking for record breaking series.

Even Windies will be eyeing a series sweep though Pooks are lucky that both tests are in trinidad instead of Jamaica or Barbados.

Pace friendly wickets might bring their trundlers into play.

 

In Trinidad Windies faster bowlers like Joseph and Seales will be the point of difference.

 

In England I see Bethell, Smith etc also having good series.

Taklu khan dropped a straight forward caught & bowled chance of Liton

If both Joseph's and Seales are fit and firing it's going to be a bloodbath for Pak batters.

 

They need to bring back Naseem instead of uber Trundler Hassan Ali

[deathmonger]

While a defeat to India or Bangladesh always hurts for Pakistan, an Indian Muslim or a Bangladeshi Hindu being the cause of it hurts more.

[Zero_Unit]

Don't worry. Bobby boii will play some nice looking coverdrive to match Liton. On a serious note, wtf Pakistan ...

[Tillu]

Look at the celebration of this jahil Hasan Ali after taking Littons wicket. All these trundlers were grunting while cranking up their pace to 126-127

[Lone Wolf]

Litton grew impatient for no reason.. they had set up a short ball trap..

Missed an easy hundred 

[bsriharsha]

Yeah , shouldn't even have gone for that shot. 

 

Make the trundlers tire themselves out and then hit the easy runs later. 

 

Not everytime people have a chance to hit a hundred every innings.

[bsriharsha]

Bangla needs to hold on till tea atleast. Another 12-15 overs. The number of runs added doesn't really matter 

 

Upto Mushfiqur now. This is when the opposition batsmen are ground down. 

[Lone Wolf]

Pak bowlers are tired now.. Liton would have easily cashed in on all these freebies.

 

Mushfiq is doing a decent job himself though 

[bsriharsha]

They need to stick around for another 20 overs. Litton pressed the accelerator a bit too early
