***Official*** Pakistan in Bangladesh 2015

[Athlai]

And people didn't want Hafeez in the side.

Dude's bowling is so underrated.

Isn't he banned from bowling?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dayummm, go Bangladesh. Hope Pakistan get dicked this series.

 

[Niall]

Isn't he banned from bowling?

Yeah

but before the ban, none stop online talk about dropping him.

He is a very underrated ODI player, never gets whacked, useful batsman and at times can beast it in Asia where Pakistan play so much cricket.

Wait Tamim is only 26? The hell?

Wait Tamim is only 26? The hell?

Why are you surprised? He was 18 when he slapped Zaheer for 4 consecutive boundaries in 2007 WC.

 

[Niall]

Stick a fork in Ajmal, he is done.

Short term option is play Babar for the next few games.

Long term have a look at Shah and Gohar.

And tell Raza to stop taking cocaine.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah, that's exactly why I'm surprised. He's been around for aaaaagggges. Didnt know he debuted as a teenager.

 

[harsh.ag]

Wait Tamim is only 26? The hell?

Ha ha. Didn't know this either. Damn. He has a long way to go. Seems like he's been there for ages. Kind of puts a perspective on how we never talk about him becoming better.

 

[Athlai]

Can Bangers get 40 in the last 4? Would be their new high score.

 

[Xuhaib]

I am not at all surprised by BD resurgance. The likes of Tamim, Shakib, Mushfiq, Mahmudullah are now in their mid-late 20's this is the age when a cricketer really starts delivering and these guys have the added benefit of playing so much international cricket already with he introduction of good young players and they are already looking a better team.

its kinda similar to mid 90's SL where the core of Arvinda, RanaTunga, Mahanama, Tilikratne Gurusinha, Jayasuriya suddenly started clicking especially the likes of Murali and vass joined them

yeah it looks over for him.I am not that perturbed really our spin bowling depth is decent.

 

[Athlai]

New high score. Awesome stuff.

 

[Niall]

At least one of Safraz or Hafeez have to go big or it will be a trashing.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Mushfiqur is bloody awesome, eh?

 

[Athlai]

You know if it wasn't for Wahab and Junaid I'd outright say Bangladesh has the better XI.

Definitely have a better batting lineup. Even with Fawad "Bradman mk VII" Alam in the team.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Mushfiqur averages close to 50 since the beginning of 2014 in ODIs. Turning into a beast of a player for Bangers.

They do have the better team even with those 2.

Misbah, Afridi retired

Umar and Shezhad dropped for acting the muppet

Irfan and Maqsood injured

6 regulars missing, better sides than Pakistan if they lost that many players would struggle against Bangladesh.


Heck even in recent matches, it was Afridi sneaking them over the line.

 

[weldone]

Mushfiqur is bloody awesome, eh?

Ya, proves my point that he should play at no. 3/4 more often.

 

[Athlai]

Has been properly gun since about 2011.

 

[Daemon]

Mushfiqur is just 2nd behind Smith in the list of current players to have improved their game beyond sight imo.
