***Official*** Pakistan in Bangladesh 2021 (T20Is and Tests)

[AndyZaltzHair]

Yasir Ali debut! Sweet. He's the new Tushar.

Tushar retired two days ago

 

[Starfighter]

Lol they appeal so much more for one he's nowhere near.

 

[Starfighter]

Exactly the same second time around.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

This is the partnership. If its broken, we will bundle out for less than 150

 

[Prince EWS]

Yep, that's why we need a new Tushar.

Yesss

 

[Starfighter]

Bangladesh have dug themselves quite a hole here.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Don’t know why we need to play Saif.

Yasir Ali slotted a bit low. Yasir at 6 and Liton at 7 would have been ideal

 

[Aritro]

Don’t know why we need to play Saif.

We've finally seen off Mithun, now we've got to wait it out while this bloke fails enough for the selectors to see sense. There's always one hey?

Mithun picked up 7-fer in Domestic. He’s knocking at the door

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Mushfiq playing well here

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

There is definitely turn in this pitch

Yes I saw that. I don't mind him being picked as a bowling all rounder as long as they bat him at 8 or 9, which would represent a level of responsibility roughly proportional to his batting ability.

I didn't watch the early part of the innings, but it doesn't look like there's much in the pitch to trouble the batsmen. Pakistan were getting some value out of the harder ball from what I saw around the 20 over mark before it was smoother sailing. The inexperienced guys just had to stick it out.

Very slow turn at this stage though, the sort you can wait on. Hopefully, for the sake of this match as a spectacle, it gets skiddier. It was a good toss to win anyway. Shame we wasted the batting-first advantage.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Now Liton needs to carry on. This is the time he gets out mostly

I have a feeling this happens to our batsmen due to non-elite fitness levels and, very often, too many cigarettes.

With elite fitness, being out there for a hundred balls means you're seeing it well and can more easily accumulate runs for the next hundred balls. With inadequate fitness levels, it means you're already knackered and heading towards the end of your innings.

Also not to mention the feeling of being satisfied already

Very true

any smart cookies out there who have any knowledge of a radio link for the match?

 

[Aritro]

No idea about radio, but you can listen to the much beloved Deshi television commentators on the Youtube stream!
