Is Pakistan batting line-up worse than Bangladesh's?

[mishra]

I think their batting is far superior than Bongs in test arena because of Misbah and YK. In odis they are comparable but Pakistani batting definitely has a edge their too.

pak is b'desh`s bogey team,however poor form pak are in,b'desh just cant play pak`s spinner,same with west indies..though overall,against different teams,b'desh`s batting is on par with pak`s batting currently

[putrevus]

Bangladesh batting is talented and have shown ability to player proper cricketing shots and play under pressure where as Pakistan batting is full of sloggers and hacks like Umar Akmal who wilt under even slightest pressure. All Bangladesh needs is confidence and couple of results go in their way, they will leave Pakistan way behind at least in terms of batting.

[Haarkarjeetgaye]

need one test and ODI series to decide that.

Both are equal

I am looking forward to the tri series between Pakistan-Sri Lanka-Bangladesh. According to ICC futures program, it is going to happen in few months.

[Kriterion]

In any condition is a bit too ambitious.

I don't think so. Against top bowling lineups in sporting conditions PAK/SL/NZ are routinely rolled for 100 runs or less. Can't imagine Canada or Kenya doing much worse, so I think Bangladesh wouldn't either.

Let me try to sum up in one sentence Slogging culture in Pakistan > Slogging culture in Bangladesh. They look more organized and disciplined than Pakistan batsman. Misba is at the other end of the spectrum. Overly conscious about protecting his wicket and ends up scoring at sub-par rate.

Missed it while creating the thread :banghead: and can't change it now.

[Kiwi]

Why use the word worse? Despite the Pakistani batsmen being awful the Bangladeshi batsmen have been impressive.

[Texan]

Looks like Pak batsmen wanted to justify this thread today. :hmmm:

[Trichromatic]

Ya that's why they defeated us just an year back at our home. I still feel sometimes we Indians go overboard insulting them. Plus from what I remember we lost our last match to Bangladesh n got kicked out of competition whereas Pakistan defeated them twice to win it.

In last 12 months Pakistan - Batting Avg of 26.95, RPO - 4.68 Bangladesh - Batting Avg of 29.89, RPO - 5.25

The difference is that here in Bangladesh sloggers are not idolized. Pakistani fans basically worships blind sluggers like Afridi and Co. To us slogging is eyesore, unless your are talking sehwag/Gilly type players who occasionally play the slog. If you compare the top order of both teams, we are pretty much similar in strength. But its the lower half of our team that makes us better. From no. 7 to no. 11 we have batsman who can wield the bat. Pakistan tail is full of Chris Martins. We on the other hand have Tail enders that score crucial runs like Gazi, razzaq and mortaza. As for our no.7 we have riyad who has a defer average as opposed to Pakistans Afridi

[Iconoclast]

Well I think you have to take into account that they aren't playing on home pitches. These UAE pitches aren't at all like conditions in Pakistan. Also I think there still is fixing going on ... losing 7 wickets for 16 runs on that one ODI ... that's total bullocks.
