Oh man those girls crying when Rahim dropped Afridi, just goes with every stereotype of the female subcontinent cricket fan I talk about.

haha......what a match.....this Afridi innings definitely better than the one against India the other day....

Felt like slapping the umpire for refusing the runner to Afridi. Does anyone know why wasn't a runner allowed for Afridi? He was clearly in pain

Rule change. If you can't run your own runs, **** off - kinda thing. Good one too.

Yup, never liked the old rule. Injuries are part of the game. Either you can play, or you can't. No one should be helping you on the field.

Rule change which occurred years ago.

This is the difference between a proper batsman like Fawad and absolute hacks like Kakmal bros.

The injustice that has been done to this guy.

Why would you give Razzakv his full ten?
Yeah was weird, especially since Ziaur didn't bowl at all. I know he thinks he's a batsman now but if he's going to play international cricket he's going to have to bowl at least some overs in every single match because he's a filthy, filthy slogger.

Nasir always seems to be underbowled as well. Can't remember the last time he delivered more that 5 overs in an ODI, or 10 in a Test innings. Weird for an all-rounder who tends to bat low-ish (yet has a gun record).

Hes not really an allrounder; he's a batsman who can bowl a bit. They just bat him low because Shakib and Rahim exist. He'd still comfortably make the side if he didn't bowl at all which is absolutely not true for Ziaur, or at least shouldn't be.

I think Nasir bowls an appropriate amount given the balance they go for really although I'd like to see him used a bit more as a seamer in Test cricket so they could pick less of them than they usually do.

Yeah, in home Tests bat him at 7, open the bowling with him alongside Robiul (is Robiul or Rubel the good one? I can never remember it..), give the rest of the overs to Shakib, Gazi, Sunny (piss Razzak off for good in Tests), potentially with Mahmudullah in there as well.

Though in saying that, Al-Amin looks pretty decent for a Bangladeshi pacer.

1. Tamim, 2. Not Kayes, 3. Anumul, 4. Mominul, 5. Shakib, 6. Rahim, 7. Nasir, 8. Mahmudullah, 9. Gazi, 10. Sunny, 11. Robiul

TBH though, Nasir's still good for a few more overs than they get out of him IMO. He's bowling 10 per Test as it stands which, given the length of time Bangladesh usually spend in the field, seems a tad low.

Robiul is pretty much the best Bangladeshi pacer in their history.

Really feel for Mashrafe Mortaza though, he could seriously bowl before his injuries.
