Bangladesh v Pakistan | 1st Test | Chittagong | 09-13/12/11 | Day 3

[TalhaSyed]

Current state of game:

Bangladesh 135

Pakistan 415/4 (128.0 ov)

Pakistan lead by 280 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Good morning and welcome to the third day. First agenda of the morning will be Younis Khan's century. He's 4 away. Even if Pakistan go for broke and throw away their wickets, it shouldn't affect them too much because they already have a lead of 280

And sky sports does not seem to be showing the match?!?

[Inswinger]

Pakistan are in a dominant position to start day 3. First thing to watch for is YK 100

[TalhaSyed]

Stayed awake all night to watch YK's 100 inshallah :yk
However disappointed to see that the game isnt on Sky Sports but managed to find a stream

[asnl59]

why aren't sky sports showing it, they said they would show it on the red button

[Sledger]

Lol @ bowler getting excited first ball.

[TalhaSyed]

why aren't sky sports showing it, they said they would show it on the red button

Ohhh ok maybe its o the red button
Im trying to watch it on Sky Player on my laptop

[asnl59]

it's on sky sports 3 red button now.

[whyamir]

that dude is still grunting after every delivery...so annoying

[Sledger]

Century third ball of the day! Hit fine for four. :14: :yk

[Sledger]

2nd Hundred against Bd.

[cricfan4ever]

well played :yk now go on get a double! :D

[TalhaSyed]

Mashallah there it is!
Brilliant knock!
Would love to see him convert this to a big one

[Random Aussie]

Its a measure of Pakistan's improvement that i am not even following this match, i just assume you will be flogging Bangladesh. A year ago, anything could have happened.

So, Bangladesh being flogged?

[Zeeraq]

YK Century :14:

[TalhaSyed]

Very much so :yk

[W63L35]

Well played..... YK!

[whyamir]

woah that was a close one

[TalhaSyed]

I would be more then happy for Pakistan to bat out today aswell
Might sound selfish but the games in the bag might as well play for the averages :misbah

[anakwalajinn]

would be nice to see :adnan get a big score

and rehman & ajmal chip in with at least a 50 each :afridi

[Sledger]

Yeah, they can bat most of the day.. maybe leave 5-10.. minutes or so to get Tamim out. :hafeez

[TalhaSyed]

would be nice to see :adnan get a big score

and rehman & ajmal chip in with at least a 50 each :afridi

Knowing iDone even tho he could probly get all 10 Bang wickets on this pitch hed probly be more excited by the prospect of getting a 50 :ajmal

[TalhaSyed]

Yeah, they can bat most of the day.. maybe leave 5-10.. minutes or so to get Tamim out. :hafeez

Haha just enough to time for a ball or two :yk

[abdulhafeez306]

My god Shahadat and his grunt. Sounds more like javelin thrower.

Asad Shafiq won't find a better opportunity to score his first 100.

[cricfan4ever]

:yk averages 89 vs India wow :14:

I knew he has a terrific record against India but never knew his average was that high !!!

[anakwalajinn]

very very very embarassing to see sharapova bowl

[Legend Killer]

:4 by :yk

[anakwalajinn]

AREA! :shahadat

[Smooth_Operator]

Fun cricket from :yk

[themask1]

Free gifts offered :facepalm:

When do you pay for gifts
Who was that? :facepalm:

[Smooth_Operator]

Hoping Shafiq ups the ante once he gets in.

[W63L35]

Asad has scored 1 run in last 20 balls he has played..... nervous 40s?????

[Inswinger]

Hopefully, Asad will pick it up after a few overs. Would be great to see him get his 100.

[ash 68]

Morning everyone

We are off to Dubai and Pakistan this morning

What better way to start the journey than to see YK make a 100

Now need shafiq to do same under his guidance

[PakPrince]

lol commentators praising pak domestic structure and how strong it is

they prolly have no clue abt it

[Smooth_Operator]

lol commentators praising pak domestic structure and how strong it is

they prolly have no clue abt it

Hahaha, well from their point of view, it's probably much stronger than the Bangladesh Cricket Structure.

[Smooth_Operator]

Pathetic stuff from Shafiq, lucky that it was dropped.

[Legend Killer]

dropped, i feel sorry for Shahadat Hossain this guys has bowled his heart out but his fielders have let him down on numerous occasions

[Sledger]

Shafiq has looked really bad against the short ball here. England will be watching.

[cricfan4ever]

:shafiq survives :)))

poor Shahadat...

[Justcrazy]

:4

[Sledger]

448/4 now.

[smoothcriminal]

Good bowling by Hussain, and pretty terrible fielding by Bangladesh. Honestly I cant really appreciate the match. Not only is it uneven, but it is sad to see no evolution in this team more than a decade after playing test cricket. THe fact that they are praising OUR domestic infrastructure tells you something.

[Smooth_Operator]

:shafiq survives :)))

poor Shahadat...

Get on FB bro!

[Sledger]

50 to Asad.

[Legend Killer]

50 for Asad Shafiq

[Smooth_Operator]

50 for Asad Shafiq

[Justcrazy]

50 for Asad

[Justcrazy]

YK should look to be there at Lunch. He should look at scoring a big one here.

[Zeeraq]

50 for Asad :14:

[Justcrazy]

I would love to see YK score a 200 here.

[Justcrazy]

Rubel averaging 81.35 with the ball.

[Inswinger]

Hafeez was robbed of a double ton. Hope YK scores 400 to make up for it :))

[Justcrazy]

Asad Shafiq strike rate 37.87. That is really poor, he needs to improve on that.

[whyamir]

Anyone watching the Khan vs Peterson fight right now? It's also about to start.

[Justcrazy]

I think Pakistan should bat upto Tea here, No need to declare.

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

Free gifts offered :facepalm:

When do you pay for gifts
Who was that? :facepalm:

some bengladeshi commentator :)):)):))

[Inswinger]

Anyone watching the Khan vs Peterson fight right now? It's also about to start.

Hell yeah!

Cricket takes a backseat for now!

[smoothcriminal]

I just heard Ramiz say " we used to get our balls wet and ask our partners to do the throwdown"- WHAT IS GOING ON?!

[whyamir]

Hell yeah!

Cricket takes a backseat for now!

ITS ON!!!!:sami

[Inswinger]

Discuss the Khan fight in this thread
http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?p=4416537#post4416537

[Justcrazy]

YK should concentrate on Test Cricket only now, for next 3 years or so. That would help him play another 25 test Matches.

[Justcrazy]

I do not understand why despite so many spinners bowling , the over rate is not that quick?

[whyamir]

wow khan is dominating

[Justcrazy]

Is there no better bowlers than Rubel in bangladesh, where are bowlers like Syed Russell and Dollar Mahmood?

[Justcrazy]

Rubel 81.82 average now...... he is looking to overtake Bradman.

[Legend Killer]

Is there no better bowlers than Rubel in bangladesh, where are bowlers like Syed Russell and Dollar Mahmood?

Rubel is pretty quick though , the guy is constantly bowling in the 140s, thats probably the reason why BD has him in the squad

[Zeeraq]

150 Partnership up.

[Sledger]

wow khan is dominating

Younis or Amir? :rao

[Justcrazy]

Partnership worth 151 runs at the moment.....

[Justcrazy]

YK on 129 , at lunch he should be around 160.....

[Inswinger]

Younis or Amir? :rao

Amir was dominating bt Peterson has recovered nicely.

[Justcrazy]

Lead 331 runs now.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should look to dominate here, and play a few more shots.

[Sledger]

Amir was dominating bt Peterson has recovered nicely.

Amir looking jaded in the last two, Younis going strong.

[Justcrazy]

Why is Bangladesh not trying Ashraful for few overs, he can be a partnership breaker.

[cricfan4ever]

:shafiq needs to get a move on...

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan are not going declare before Tea, they know they will bat once and want to bat well and score runs, push there averages up :)

[Inswinger]

Amir looking jaded in the last two, Younis going strong.

Amir has recovered nicely. 4-2 Amir or 3-3 at this point

[Justcrazy]

It would be interesting to see where YK reaches, if he is still there at Tea...... I think he would be at around 210 not out by tea. He can be more if he can find a few boundaries here.

[Justcrazy]

Asad 37.25 strike rate, he needs to up that..... he should find gaps now. The bowling is not that strong.

[Forward Defense]

:out but catch has been taken on :noball

[cricfan967]

:))) out on a no ball

[Justcrazy]

There should be a free hit in Test matches for no ball. Test Matches need more entertainment. It would be interesting.

[haroonrasheed320]

What do you guys think about the strike rate of Shafiq? :S

[haroonrasheed320]

There should be a free hit in Test matches for no ball. Test Matches need more entertainment. It would be interesting.

No, test match is the only original form of cricket left and need no change.

[Justcrazy]

YK 139 not out.

[Asif321]

:four :shafiq

[Asif321]

Beauty :four another

[Justcrazy]

:4

[Strike!]

Expect a lot of short balls for Shafiq when we play England next month.

[Forward Defense]

Another :four for Asad Shafiq

[Justcrazy]

Rubel 82.88 average now with the ball, its pathetic.

[Justcrazy]

YK 6080 runs and counting.....

[Justcrazy]

Lead 355 runs right now.

[Sledger]

9 runs away from 500. Only four wickets down lol.

[anakwalajinn]

any activity here or everyone watcing the boxing? :danish

[Justcrazy]

Lunch round the corner here..... YK should be patient here

[W63L35]

highest 5th wicket partnerships for Pakistan;

[Inswinger]

AMir Khan just got ripped off by the ref

[Sledger]

Amir still should have won by a point. Home officials. :jm

[Sledger]

Nice glide by Asad, good footwork. Younis 6 away from 150.

[Justcrazy]

Asad into 70s now, he can get his maiden ton here.

[Justcrazy]

I think the way these 2 are batting, they can bat the whole day..... still Pakistan would have full two days , to get Bangladesh out.

[Strike!]

When was the last time we scored 500?

[Sledger]

600 Vs SL? :taufeeq

[Justcrazy]

500


:pkflag :pkflag :pkflag

[Sledger]

500 up and Ashraful on to bowl.

[Strike!]

600 Vs SL? :taufeeq

lol right. We sure score lots these days. :yk

[taqi]

Shafiq should score 100 here

[Justcrazy]

:4

[Sledger]

lol right. We sure score lots these days. :yk

Best batting unit in world cricket. :junaid

[Sledger]

150 to Younis!

[Justcrazy]

YK 150, his seventh score of 150 plus in Tests

[anakwalajinn]

150 for :yk

[Justcrazy]

Ashraful Has 20 wickets in Test Cricket so far.....

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

:6 :O by :yk

[cricfan4ever]

carry on :yk ...200+ on the cards, 7th 150+ score, still remember his run out on 199 against India

[Justcrazy]

:6

[Justcrazy]

YK should look to bat till Tea here.

[Justcrazy]

:4

[Justcrazy]

Shafiq 79 not out......

[taqi]

shafiq in a hurry equels his highest

[Justcrazy]

:4 more Asad moves to 83 ...

[NJamal]

Asad is in a hurry to reach his 100.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan showing intent here, that is good, they must attack this bowling.

[NJamal]

Its Lunch, Pakistan 525/4

[Strike!]

Lunch taken.

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

They should declare the inning after Asad's century (inshallah).

[Zeeraq]

Lunch

[Sledger]

525/4 at lunch. One way traffic.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan 390 runs Lead, its lunch

[NJamal]

They should declare the inning after Asad's century (inshallah).

No, 5 sessions are more than enough for us to take 10 Bangla wickets. I would like us to bat till tomorrow lunch time to smash some records.:sachin

[Zeeraq]

On ESPNCricinfo :
"Younis,Shafiq punish sloppy hosts" :)))

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

^^ :)) that'd be bullying

[Love Pakistan]

Make 700 and declare! :misbah

[sawal]

They should bat till younis score 400

[anakwalajinn]

100 up for :shafiq?

[anakwalajinn]

I think we should bat at least until lunch tomorrow :)

[NJamal]

They should bat till younis score 400

Yes he can so much time still left in this test so whats the hurry for declaration.

[sawal]

Yes he can so much time still left in this test so whats the hurry for declaration.

Stil 238 overs remaining peera

[NJamal]

Stil 238 overs remaining peera

Yes and no chance of rain also. I think 140 overs are enough to dismiss Bangladesh. So Pakistan should bat 98 more overs.:yk

[Ray]

We shud definately batt till younis is on the crease....

If not The other target shud be Pakistan scoring 600+ and batting till midway in the third session atleast if not more

[anakwalajinn]

why are people talking about the decleration so earlY? it's day 3... an overnight decleration would be okay because then all di buouyz can have a day off on day 5. but wontmind if we declare by lunch or tea tomorrow

[osee_bhai]

3rd new ball in

[Strike!]

Third new ball taken.

[AZ]

Yaar yeh Ramiz Asad ko out karwadega, bloody manhoos!

[AZ]

Shott, crunched off the backfoot by YK.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Should have declared ages ago, this is dull

By the time Shafiq gets his ton they will probably wait til YK gets a double ton

[NJamal]

Lead is above 400 now.

[bluffmasterv2]

Another casualty on the field .

[NJamal]

Younis will get to 200 first or Asad will get to 100 first?

[NJamal]

2 more to Asad

[cricfan967]

Shafiq to get his maiden test century!

[cricfan967]

Scary stuff.. Shafiq barely survives

:))) did the commentator just say Hafeez is the best bowler in this match by far?
He only bowled 3 overs without a wicket..

[osee_bhai]

I don't get how Rubel's average is so high. He has quite a bit of pace and sometimes bowls decent line/length, he gets bounce, a little seam movement, reverse swing. His control sometimes goes a little haywire, but not bad enough to suggest a 80+ average. The sami of BD bowling.

[AZ]

Asaaaaaad, dekh ke khel :X

[cricfan967]

:four

Shafiq on 96!

[NJamal]

Asad 96*

[osee_bhai]

Man these commies have been really negative of Asad, I agree he's had a couple bad shots, but so much about his batting and weaknesses? While BD are bowling crap?

[Zeeraq]

Man these commies have been really negative of Asad, I agree he's had a couple bad shots, but so much about his batting and weaknesses? While BD are bowling crap?

[sawal]

3rd highest partnership 5th wicket wali now

Man you scared me lol

[NJamal]

100 for Feeqa, well played lad.

[anakwalajinn]

mubarakan :D

[farsiddiqui]

Well Done! Congrats Asad on the 1st of hopefully many 100s.

[anakwalajinn]

Man you scared me lol

[osee_bhai]

Congrats to Asad!

[cricfan4ever]

[PakPrince]

Pakistan should bat out the whole day today.

[NJamal]

Now Younis turn to go for 200.

[sawal]

lol whyz?

5th wicket gir gaee lol

[anakwalajinn]

man this shahadat hossain is so annoying

[Forward Defense]

Cricinfo

Bangladeshi players should participate in the Pakistan domestic circuit, if they are to improve their cricket, we'll welcome them.

[Zeeraq]

Congratz Asad for his maiden ton :14:

[Strike!]

Neo cricket's coverage becomes crap and PTV is covering the hockey ceremony. :118:

[osee_bhai]

Last 10 overs, 50/0

[cricfan967]

Big no ball :asif

[cricfan967]

Shahadat Hossein officially has the world's most annoying grunt.

[Love Pakistan]

Shahadat Hossein officially has the world's most annoying grunt.

True that!

[Zeeraq]

Shahadat Hossein officially has the world's most annoying grunt.

+1 :))) You're right.

[cricfan967]

YK goes big, :six :))

[Strike!]

Swatted for six.

[Asif321]

200 for YK comonnnn

[anakwalajinn]

I am gonna get sad if we declare today. seriously
should bat the day out!

[osee_bhai]

What is the highest margin of victory for Pak I wonder? And against BD.

[anakwalajinn]

Shahadat Hossain bowled his 100th no ball in 32 tests... :facepalm:

[Asif321]

Yes Bat today fully ... :misbah

[anakwalajinn]

maybe they should give the ball to nasir hossain?

[anakwalajinn]

lol why even appeal for that? :)))

[Asif321]

Let YK break record of Lara :yk

[PapaBear]

Is the commentator itchy about pak not declaring

[Asif321]

:out shafiq

[cricfan967]

Shafiq :out

[Strike!]

Shafiq gifts a wicket, Well played though. :14:

[Obeid]

You know, if we wanted we could get a total of 1000 here by day 4 session 1 (batting around 6 an over)

[osee_bhai]

Partnership finally broken

[Asif321]

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Mohammad akram just called adnan akmal "once a ball picker in Gaddafi stadium"

It was like " I know him since long time when he used to be a ball picker in Gaddafi stadium" :)))

By the way any idea why Mohammad Akram commentary thread is deleted again?

[Asif321]

Waiting Now for 200 YK

[Zeeraq]

Good Avatar Asif321

[Ryankhan]

todays is the 3rd day of the test match right? so i hope there isnt any declaration from misbah, let them play till the end of the day and inshallah pak can get them out in 2 days time. so hope adnan gets a big one also and i wish YK gets a triple ton. good `100 by ASad though, very happy for him, played well.

[Looney]

Younis Khan playing for records :sachin


lulz

[anakwalajinn]

how is :adnan's technique? :13:

[Asif321]

wht u think of adnans batting

[osee_bhai]

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/210099.html

Here is the list for largest victories with an innings. Pakistan's highest is an innings and 324 runs vs NZ back in 2002 at Lahore. Against BD we have an innings and 264 runs win (which is 2nd best for us) at Multan in 2001.

[osee_bhai]

wht u think of adnans batting

It's hard to say to be honest, but I think Sarfraz's technique may be a bit better. We have seen Adnan have some stroke making ability though.

[Asif321]

give bnagladesh 10 innings they still cant finish this lead

[anakwalajinn]

I have to susu very badly but :yk nearing 200 :(

[Random Aussie]

whats the heaviest defeat in test cricket in regards to an innings defeat?

Innings and 579 runs, England beat Australia :(

But the second is an innings and 360 runs which is a chance. Also an Aussie loss :(

[anakwalajinn]

haven't watched much of adnan's batting. mini trolling on banglacricket forums, lol.but :adnan seem to move a little bit around here and there. not the best technique. should go for his shots IMO. but then aian I am not watching much

[anakwalajinn]

Innings and 579 runs, England beat Australia :(

But the second is an innings and 360 runs which is a chance. Also an Aussie loss :(

that was a long time ago bro :wg

whats happening over there? still rain? stumps?

[Asif321]

Bangalis have been killed

[Asif321]

Hope YK Makes itt !!!
