*Official* Pakistan in Bangladesh 2011

[Athlai]

Solid effort from Bangers to keep Pakistan to 131. Shame their batting is so terrible only 4 proper blokes.

 

[Howe_zat]

Anyway, not a bad effort from Bangladesh, but I'm sure Pakistan's spinners can defend this. Pretty sure I'd have said that regardless of the total.

135 looks like a decent total on this wicket.....especially for a batting line up like the bangers

 

[Jacknife]

Misbah loves those red-inkers, another one to add to the collection.

 

[Athlai]

Tamim
Kayes (sigh)
Siddique
Shakib
Rahim
Naeem
Marmadoola
Mortaza
Tail who cares
Tail who cares

Now that batting lineup might actually stand a chance chasing this total ^

And if ****s like Hom and Nazimuddin actually stood up at international level you could easily chuck them straight into the team with all those allrounders.

 

[Howe_zat]

Would you pick Nafees, Athers?

 

[Athlai]

Would you pick Nafees, Athers?

Probably not for a T20. In all honesty he'd go better than Kayes but the Kayes-Tamim partnership is all but set in stone. And somehow it sorta works.


Looking at Nazimuddin's T20I record frustrates me, he has scored 120 after playing Pakistan in 2 T20I matches and he doesn't get a look in? FMD.

The guy is currently dominating the domestic scene and because he was up to **** all in a few ODIs he never gets picked in the forms of the game he actually goes alright in?

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah Nazimuddin and Rasel are the guys I would be bringing in to help Bangladesh. It's hard to see them winning unless Shakib or Mushfiqur make a 50 IMO. Kayes is complete fail, he's probably bat sensibly today since it's a T20..

 

[smash84]

bull strikes

 

[Jacknife]

That was the definition of playing round a straight one.

This could get ugly.

 

[smash84]

hafeez strikes now

 

[Athlai]

How Alok Kapali wormed his way back into the team I'll never know.

 

[Athlai]

Kayes is the finest player in the world at doing just enough not to get dropped yet still not enough to actually properly contribute to the team. He'll score 11 (20) here.

What's up with Gul, ever since his thrashing at the hands of Sehwag, his speed has dropped considerably. Hasn't bowled a delivery in the the 90's since. However as a bowler I think he has improved, especially with the new ball.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Run out.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Imrul Key is gone.

 

[Athlai]

Kaye to hit the showers before hitting himself in the face repeatedly.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Hafeez wag, bowled Shakib.

 

[Athlai]

As much as I love Marmadoola he can't bat in T20s to save his life.

One more wicket and they're into the tail, Marma and Nasir could do a job if these two get close to the target but if a wicket falls in the next 8-9 overs it will be a slaughter.

Edit: Shakib gone. All over.
