*Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

Pray to **** there's enough overs left. I'm not sure this is Zakir's natural game, based on the very nuggety 250 ball century he made on debut but I'm glad he's doing it

Credit to Sami (a bd youtuber) for this analysis. I think this is interesting.

Babar Azam these days tends to throw his hand on to a fifth/sixth stump line deliveries which are slightly shorter. Nahid Rana in the first and second test exploited that perfectly and got him both times. He continuously barraged him sixth stump line with slightly shortened length to get him out with eventually a surprise fuller length. In the second test, he got him with same plan ie slightly shorter length outside off where babar edged one.

With spinners, Babar's weakness is the ball that is slightly shorter on off stump line. He tends to go backfoot and give his wicket. It happened many times and Shakib continuously bowled him that line and length to get rid of him.

TBF they were 2 teams playing as 1 back then.

You can read the PCB Mafia game here in the non-cricket related games thread for more info. :p

With Ebadaot coming back, it'll be interesting who gets selected as pacers in red ball cricket.

I think Hasan Mahmud's effort with the bat in the first innings, is the difference that gets his name on team first XI for the India tests.

Nah Pakistan won test series at home in between these results.

This is the worst period in Pakistan's history, if they don't win here it will be 10 consecutive tests that they haven't won at home. It's been 3 years without a test win .

Getting whitewashed at home by Bangladesh is a special kind of bad as well, just to top off the extended bad run.
Think it's worse with how they lost. Produced a road and collapsed to spin, then had there pacers get out bowled by Bangladesh on a juicier pitch. Choose a struggle Pakistan.
