*Official* Pakistan in Bangladesh 2011

[Agent Nationaux]

No need to exaggerate Smali. If these two bat all day tomorrow, Younis will get 200 and Shafiq will get his century. We should then declare and have plenty of time to get Bangladesh all out in the last two days.

Or who knows, maybe one of them might get out

Maybe that's just me being ridiculous.

no matter who the opposition is you respect them, only make a declaration after taking in to account the possibility of the opposition having one good innings so untill Pakistan is ahead by 400 the thoughts of declaration should not be entertained.

I think you can add the qualification of test match quality

Absolutely. The object is to secure a win; not to try to win in 3 days.

Agreed...but they need to make sure that they give themselves enough time to get Bang out...

525/4...........

the bangers getting banged really hard

Pak are effectively 390/4

Youni crossed his 150 and Shafiq nearing a century lol

 

[NUFAN]

Why has Nasir Hossain who batted at number 8 only been given 2 overs out of 160? Seems bizarre..

This is just a complete old fashioned slaughter, I'm looking forward to watching Pakistan against the top teams, they have shown that they are very difficult to beat these days.

England is landing in next month

 

[NUFAN]

Looking forward to that series Smali.

When should Pak declare?

I hope they do decide to bowl in the last session. Try and get Bangladesh 5 down for say 75 by stumps..

Younis is at 183. Let him play until he gets out I should say. It is still the 3rd day.

Pak has 2 more days to go even if they play out the day today. The bowling is easy so let Younis improve his average lol

 

[Faisal1985]

Some good batting practice for Pak.....

YK should get a double ton....Misbah should let him get that...

 

[smash84]

gone....Shafiq gone as we speak

 

[Faisal1985]

Well he did his job.....

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I know it's still the 3rd day, but the lead is 435 now and it should be 470-500 by tea. For Bangladesh to somehow pass 500 it would take them almost 2 days to get to that score, so tea time on day 3 isn't a bad to declare IMO.

Plus I want to see Bangla bat!

 

[smash84]

haha.....NUFAN you want to see the bangers bat or you want to seem them fold in 50 overs

Plus, this might be the best opportunity that Younis might get in a long time in order to make a big 300. Might as well make the most of it.

Pakistan won't gain much by declaring today even though Bangers probably might not even reach 400.

Younis's runs might be important for him if he plays for his record

I think it will be much earlier...feel after YK's double ton...should be soon...

 

[NUFAN]

But Misbah shouldn't give a **** about Younis's record. Wait until after his 200 tho.

I want Bangla to be competitive tbh, but if they aren't wickets are never dull.

I wouldn't mind seeing most of the Bang top 8 do well, Ashrafail can get out in comical fashion if he likes.

 

[Faisal1985]

triple is too far...i think that would be a little far fetched on part of Misbah...you have enough runs to win the game so go for it...
