*Official* Pakistan in Bangladesh 2011

[smash84]

I don't see much hope for the bangers in the coming ODIs and test matches. Incidentally Pakistan's points may go down if they don't clean sweep the bangers I think

 

[Prince EWS]

For some odd reason the batting averages in Pakistan domestic cricket are a better indicator of a players quality then the bowling averages.

That's usually the case with domestic cricket worldwide. Batting is often just as much about concentration and discipline as the conditions, the standard of the bowling and your technique, so scoring heavily domestically is a very good indicator to having the right mentality to do it internationally as well as long as your technique holds up and you don't get overawed by the extra pressure. There are a lot of ways a certain bowling style can be a lot more effective domestically than internationally though and with some bowlers there will minimal change in effectiveness from low-level domestic cricket to Test cricket.

Obviously there are tons of exceptions but as a general rule, domestic batting batting performances are a better indicator to Test success than domestic bowling performances.

can't the likes of Khalil be given in such a useless game, and why is Sohail Tanveer still being selected he is as useless as they come.

This guy to play their next T20 ^

Ashraful is also a better T20 option than half these guys. Argh such total fails.Siddique better be injured.

Even though Siddique was hard done by, he's barely scored a run this year. His confidence is shot.

Still better than Kayes and Kapali.

Still better than Kayes and Kapali.

For some reason I have faith in Kapali. And Kayes still keeps scoring runs in ODIs somehow.

I'll throw things at you.

Kayes only scores runs in ODIs because he bats so slowly and more often than not ends up with scores like 65 of 110 balls. Anyone could do the job he does at the top of the order.

errr...........NO

 

[Athlai]

errr...........NO

They really could. Kayes doesn't get runs through being more skilled or talented, he gets runs because the opposition cbf.

Kayes is gun; Athlai can suck it.

Yes if I was an opposition captain I'd rather keep Kayes in tbh.

Nafees has no clue against Hafeez.

 

[TT Boy]

Surely those first 5 overs must be a record? 2 runs scored. **** sake.

6 for 2 now. Nafees wants to do a Runako Morton.

 

[Naumaan]

Shaheryaar Nafees dropped but other guy caught at slip. Bangladesh either block everything or try to hit everything....

 

[Prince EWS]

Did Kayes actually get dropped from ODIs before he got dropped from Tests? Hilarious.

Naeem finally gets a go in the top order and duly fails.

 

[Prince EWS]

Shaheryaar

Gosh.

 

[Naumaan]

Sheheryaar nafees edged four times in 2 overs from Hafeez. Still survived.

 

[African Monkey]

Nafees going out of his way to give Younis Khan a catch atm
