Well, as soon as you said 'Good old fashioned batting', really.

He is an awful umpire by the looks of it. Gave Nazmuddin (sp) out yesterday when Cheema and the cordon were not even that interested. Just a polite appeal and finger was up in a shot.

I think he is blind tbh. Another Ashoka de silva

Azhar can bat as he likes, as long as he makes his regular 50s. Plus this is batting practise for him and he needs to be in top form against England.

Ganesh, whats up with your umps BCCI makes billions from the game can't they invest a tiny proportion of it on the up and coming umpires.

If we wanted him in top form v England we should left him and brought in some youngersters, or #Fawad Alam#.

Watching Test cricket in Bangladesh is like watching something on a black and white TV. The place is such a hole.

 

[TT Boy]

haha......that is the way Azhar ali plays.....good old fashioned batting.

Don't mind it that much if he makes a solid score

Bit of a fallacy to say he is old fashioned, he isn’t as he plays every innings, every situation in the same manner. He limits himself, don’t know if that is through choice or maybe he isn’t very good. An old fashioned player when faced with statistically with one of the most attacks of all time on a road would not tap back half volleys, Azhar does that. There are only 2 players in the Pak top order who have more than 2 gears.

 

[Xuhaib]

he's ok against the pacers its against the spinners where he struggles to rotate to laden footed imo.

 

[smash84]

younis and?

 

[TT Boy]

Hafeez. Use to just be Younis Khan but Mohammed has been really good in the past 18 months or so albeit against mostly poor attacks but when faced with them, Hafeez knows what to do.

 

[TT Boy]

Nice shot to bring up 50. Though it was an awful delivery. When will Bangladesh move away from slow left armers, they don't need 2 in the same side.

we have been tortured by the likes of Imran Farhat and Faisal Iqbal for years believe me this batting line up despite its dourness still feels like the 80's west indies batting.

 

[TT Boy]

Nazimuddin ffs. How easy was that? Amateurs.

Revital ads from Tuvraj *Slaps face*

 

[smash84]

younis khan has face 15 overs and scored 28 runs. He makes Azhar Ali look like Adam Gilchrist

 

[smash84]

toffee's finally gone

 

[Agent Nationaux]

God what a rubbish test. I am now having doubts for the English series, if this is how our batsmen continue to play. Azhar has been such a great find, but he really needs to make the singles and twos against both spin and pace.

 

[ganeshran]

Pak batting is excruciating to watch! If they bat like this against England they will be marginalised for sure. Where is class & intent?
