Bangladesh v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Dhaka | 17-21/12/11 | Day 4

[Obeid]

Supposed to be an early start once again, but we know how that's been going in this test match

Match is "supposed" to start in 13 minutes.

[Obeid]

Weather.com says it should be sunny, so who knows !

[prepare]

Who knows?

[Square Drive]

When is it gonna start? Is the weather Elias 'Sunny', or Elias 'Rainy'?

[Obeid]

Cricinfos got nothing, so idk

[MVP26]

Pakistan batsman have to score runs at a quicker pace or match will be drawn.

[Square Drive]

Match delayed - fog - Day 4: By cricinfo.

9.00am: Good morning everyone and welcome to the coverage of the fourth day. We've just heard that there will be an inspection at 9.30. No miraculous change of weather I'm afraid. That's all we have so far.

Source- Cricinfo

[Square Drive]

Hope game starts at least in 15 minutes.

[adnans0324]

oof, fog ne bara tang kiya hai. :misbah

[MVP26]

looks like match heading for a draw

[asif9138]

oh man again fog is stopping the play...can not complain about weather

[Square Drive]

9.20: Still a bit gloomy but the covers are coming off. Isam says that play may well start at 9.30. That's not too far away.

Good news!!

[asif9138]

any news about weather yet guys??

[Square Drive]

any news about weather yet guys??

Yes, match is starting in 2 minutes!!

[asif9138]

thanks!! good

[Square Drive]

Match is starting! Hoping for a good RR!

[Square Drive]

thanks!! good

No problem bhai jaan! :ajmal

[Square Drive]

Appeal on the first ball, not out.

[MVP26]

they should look to go at atleast 4 runrate

[KingKhanWC]

Weather looking a lot better today. Pakistan looking to bat the day out and put a lead of around 270 to declare early on day 5.

[Square Drive]

Only 1 off the first over... :/

[KingKhanWC]

Elias Sunny done the damage early on. YK departs quickly. :out

[Square Drive]

:out!! YK gone :(

[chaiwala]

:yk :out

[prepare]

Oh well Asad Shafiq and Misbah will now consolidate all morning!

[cricfan4ever]

big blow to lose :yk early...now the tuk tuk brigade will be out :facepalm:

[KingKhanWC]

Younis wasn't awake, had fog in his eyes. A poor defence shot to an average ball. Meanwhile Misbah is getting his eye...s in.

[GOAT]

where are the runs?!

[cricfan4ever]

can someone for once please counter attack :facepalm:

[KingKhanWC]

where are the runs?!

We don't need runs, we're playing for the draw.:misbah

[Square Drive]

Good thing :misbah looking to attack.

[Liverpool_Faizan]

that last ball shud have been hit for four

[Justcrazy]

Three tuk tuk in one team :yk :misbah :asad its just pathetic by the way Pakistan play Bd

[Justcrazy]

I wonder why Pakistan wants to play teams like SA / England etc, they should play only zim / BD to boost there averages.

[Justcrazy]

Asad still on 0 after 14 balls, what a confident batsman he is.....

[iRfaN_LA]

Asad 0 from 15 balls, Lets just forget about winning this test match. Just check the scoreboard at the end of day 5.

[GOAT]

We don't need runs, we're playing for the draw.:misbah

This may be a plausible and actually - the most likely - scenario.

I'm off then. I'm going to play Skyrim till my eyes hurt and our score is 320-4 after 140 overs.

[Justcrazy]

Misbah is simply bothered about pushing his average towards 50

[pakistanbest]

Shafiq looks one terrible batsman, know he scored a century but he does not instill any confidence and could well be an easy wicket for england, this team is made up full of tempremental players which all good and well but the rotation of strike is a major point in any form of cricket and is missing in this current line up

We need to counter attack but Tuk Tuk is what is hapening :(

[Justcrazy]

Just imagine a Kohli / Rohit sharma here, would they have been on 0 after 15 balls, that too against BD

[KingKhanWC]

1 off it. Credit to Bangladesh they have come out wanting to make a game of it. Attacking field for spinner and defensive for the seamer, trying to keep it tight. The lower order aren't the best players of spin and they know it. Shafiq looking solid but still on 0.

[Square Drive]

Muhammad asks: "Is it a bad thing that I'm hoping Misbah and Asad get out simply because watching the tailenders bat and seeing the bowlers bowl is far more exciting."

True.

[Justcrazy]

I just do not see Pakistan competing against better teams with such selfish players in the midle.

[Justcrazy]

shafiq 0 from 18 balls, well played. This guy is pathetic, just cannot bat at international level.

[pakistanbest]

Seriously if we carry on seeing this negativity then the future is bleak, Misbah and the management are by far the defebsive team we have seen even more defensive then Inzy and Malik

[pakistanbest]

Misbah finally scores a four, push on the pedal guys!!

[Square Drive]

:4 by tuk tuk.

[Justcrazy]

The team was already full of selfish players and now, Mohsin would continue as a coach, since August Waqar was out, they could not find a coach..... PCB should be awarded for this. What a lazy and idiotic approach.

[Justcrazy]

Asad 0 from 18 balls ( 3 overs)

[pakistanbest]

Another 4 and the 300 is up :)

[Love Pakistan]

Another :4

[KingKhanWC]

nice drive by Misbah, 4 more.

Pakistan are on top but you can't expect Bangladesh to crumble every time, they will give a good go. Good test match cricket.

[Justcrazy]

:4 from :misbah

[Square Drive]

Another :4 by tuk tuk!! Counter-attack starting Alhamdullillah...

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 35 runs now

[Love Pakistan]

Asad 0 from 18 balls ( 3 overs)

or banayy gey bhai saab Moyo!

[musama]

Asad is so selfish.....

[pakistanbest]

Misbah looking quite agressive, Shafiq is looking terrible

[Legend Killer]

Asad Shafiq really needs to get a move on, this is ridiculous

[Legend Killer]

Shafiq scores a run!

[musama]

y do asad always play the way that he is not going to play next match !!!!

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shafiq off the mark

[Justcrazy]

asad 1 from 21 balls :facepalm:

[Square Drive]

Asad off the mark *claps sarcastically*.

[Ashraful_Rox]

y do asad always play the way that he is not going to play next match !!!!

Because he knows :umarakmal is a much better entertainer and some fans prefer him over :shafiq

[Justcrazy]

I do not understand how do layers like asad get to play International cricket? Is there absolutely no more talent in a cricket loving country like pakistan.

[Legend Killer]

Cut away for four by Asad Shafiq

[Legend Killer]

another :four by Shafiq

[Square Drive]

asad 1 from 21 balls :facepalm:

2 boundaries from Asad. Happy??

[Ashraful_Rox]

:shafiq heard us and now bashing the life out of Shahadat :sami

[Justcrazy]

:asad looks annoyed and frustrated, and he has mashed 2 :4

[Justcrazy]

2 boundaries from Asad. Happy??

No not happy, this fellow either blocks or hits out in frustration. He needs to be rotating strike, that's what a middle order batsman is supposed to do.

[Justcrazy]

asad , just 2 singles in 26 balls.... shows he just is poor in rotating the strike.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan has a problem in keeping up the scoring rate because all the players in the top six are tuk tuks.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 19 now

[Justcrazy]

I think Pakistan should not bat for too long here, maybe about 10 - 15 overs after lunch, then try and get BD out cheaply.

[saeed-sohail]

Justcrazy have you ever played hard ball cricket? Its start of the day and we lost our key batsman for nothing.

Every commentary thread is full of your idiotic posts. If its that bad dont watch. If you want to whine creat a new thread and do it.Dont spoil the match thread.

[Justcrazy]

:misbah 46.57 average with the bat right now.

[whyamir]

Grunt like you just bowled over 160 kph..






actual speed: 120 kph :yk

[Justcrazy]

Justcrazy have you ever played hard ball cricket? Its start of the day and we lost our key batsman for nothing.

Every commentary thread is full of your idiotic posts. If its that bad dont watch. If you want to whine creat a new thread and do it.Dont spoil the match thread.

Yes , I have played cricket, and like you I also want Pakistan to win. I am very annoyed today, just heard that Mohsin is going to continue as a coach....... it has made me really frustrated.

[Justcrazy]

Had there been no weather disturbances, Pakistan would have won this easily.

[saeed-sohail]

Yes , I have played cricket, and like you I also want Pakistan to win. I am very annoyed today, just heard that Mohsin is going to continue as a coach....... it has made me really frustrated.


Thanda glass paani pi aur so ja. In the morning you will feel better.

[saeed-sohail]

Had there been no weather disturbances, Pakistan would have won this easily.

We will win regardless. Keep faith.:shafiq

[bluffmasterv2]

Ridiculous appealing from Mushfiqir gets a stare from Asad and rightly so!

[Love Pakistan]

:4 by TUK TUK

[Justcrazy]

32 runs partnership

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mushfiq has been an awful captain and not to mention he makes :kami look like gilly, why did BCB made this midget captain. We were better off with :shakib

[Justcrazy]

:pakistan trail by just 8 now.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mushfiq was also the man who got :shakib run out who looked good for a 200, i hope the midget gets replaced as we bring shakib back as captain

[Justcrazy]

Mushfiq has been an awful captain and not to mention he makes :kami look like gilly, why did BCB made this midget captain. We were better off with :shakib

Bangladesh lost to Zimbawe, I think stuart law wanted a change, because the captain and vice captain :tanim were getting arrogant.

[Ashraful_Rox]

^ Should have made Shariar Nafees the captain, he's well educated and a better batsman than Mushfiq. Mushfiq drops 10 - 12 catches + stumping every match

[Love Pakistan]

Ball's spinning! Our spinners should be happy!

[Areesh]

Pakistan still not fast enough. :(

[JibranAnsari]

Sad innings from Younis Khan.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ball is spinning and the stupid captain is not bringing either DX or :shakib :facepalm:

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan still not fast enough. :(

We do not have this capability.

[Justcrazy]

drinks

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Salam, wow Taufeeq, well done :

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Hope Shafiq scores big

[JibranAnsari]

40 runs in 14 overs today?

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shipon: 'I am extremely disappointed in Rahim's captaincy. Hopefully he will learn in time. There is no point using Shahadat now, when team's main goal is to reduce run scoring. Not that he is a wicket taker. It is not a one day match - he does not have to bowl." ~ cricinfo

Agree with Shipon there.

[Areesh]

We do not have this capability.

And those who have the capability are not in the team. :umarakmal

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Shakib looks really fat. Is he fat?

[W63L35]

109.4 Elias Sunny to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, very sharp turn! And kept low too, Misbah wanted to paddle it away and Mahmudullah at first slip charged off towards short fine leg before you could say "sunny", Misbah was no where near making contact

109.3 Elias Sunny to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, turn and bounce! The same one that got Younis, this time it nearly shaves the outside edge

Well, if that is the case then the lead of 150 should be more than enough.

[Asif321]

one of the worst innings played by :yk

[Ashraful_Rox]

^ That's a gangsta avatar of :akhtar right there

[Areesh]

Well, if that is the case then the lead of 150 should be more than enough.

Well it sounds good enough. :rehman :ajmal :hafeez

[Asif321]

50 for misbah ........... should start hitting now

[Justcrazy]

Misbah 50 not out

:108: :108: :108:

[Areesh]

Shakib looks really fat. Is he fat?

He is not fat. I don't think so. :inzi

[Asif321]

^ That's a gangsta avatar of :akhtar right there

:akhtar:akhtar:akhtar:akhtar

[Asif321]

hahahahahahhahaa Dolly droppped
misbah laughs tooo

[musama]

may be this batting line up can afford Umar Akmal in between them ...

[Ashraful_Rox]

:facepalm: where do Bangladesh manage to find these rubbish players, this robiul guy needs to be slapped by Bhajji day and night

[qaiser]

England bowling and fielding would be much better than Bangladesh

[JibranAnsari]

Yah , Taufeeq got three lives , younis 1 and misbah 1. We can have umar akmal in the team , can't do worse.

[Areesh]

:facepalm: where do Bangladesh manage to find these rubbish players, this robiul guy needs to be slapped by Bhajji day and night

This drop chance is going to cost you the match. :misbah

[cricfan4ever]

46 runs in 17.3 overs so far :facepalm:

[JibranAnsari]

lol@ phattu batting

[Asif321]

:four

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan gets lead

:yahoo:
:yahoo:
:yahoo:

[Areesh]

Yah , Taufeeq got three lives , younis 1 and misbah 1. We can have umar akmal in the team , can't do worse.


Only if :mhk can understand this thing. :(

[Ashraful_Rox]

:misbah on superman mode, playing t20 :4

[Asif321]

Reverse sweep and another :four :misbah

[MVP26]

Misbah looking good out there

[Areesh]

2 balls 2 :four

[Justcrazy]

:misbah 2 x :four

[musama]

Misbah on roll here :P

[Ashraful_Rox]

Next time if someone misses a stumping or drops a catch of shakib bowling, he should go and kick the fielder in his nuts

[JibranAnsari]

bangladesh has 1 half decent spinner and we are all at sea against him. What a shame!

[JibranAnsari]

Sad too see that Asad is our future.

[Justcrazy]

Asad is just pathetic with rotation of strike, why cannot a batting coach work on him????

[Justcrazy]

sad too see that asad is our future.

+1

[Asif321]

another rewerse :four

[Areesh]

Another :four by Misbah.

[Justcrazy]

Good to see :misbah waking up and realizing that Pakistan need to declare at some point soon, after lunch.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Asad should go boom boom mode because I don't think our fielders can grasp a single catch

[JibranAnsari]

misbah could not hit it :facepalm:

[MVP26]

Now asad also needs to get a move on.

[Justcrazy]

:misbah 47.14 average now, he is a reverse sweep specialist.

[MVP26]

misbah averaging 47 now

[Areesh]

What the hell is asad doing? He is again too slow. :(

[JibranAnsari]

Asad should go boom boom mode because I don't think our fielders can grasp a single catch

Yah , they have some pakistaniat transferred :))

[Areesh]

Elias Sunny to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, whoopsy! Sunny lands it somewhere outside the pitch spectacularly wide, the balls pitches twice and Misbah just for fun decides to chase it and smash it, too bad he couldn't beat short cover, reminds me of the incident in Cuttack when Craig McMillan did something similar to Murali Kartik

:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

[Asif321]

cute babe in crowd :farhat

[Ashraful_Rox]

Replace Sunny with Nasir, stupid Mushfiq

[Justcrazy]

asad needs to get run a ball, that will do.

[JibranAnsari]

61 in 21 overs today

[Obeid]

If Misbah got out to Elias Sunny on that ball...

:))) the impossible would've happened in the history of Misbah's cricket dismissals.

[MVP26]

Asad shafiq is really a selfish player, playing for his spot.

[cricfan4ever]

poor batting from :shafiq :facepalm:

[Asif321]

why is asad playing sooo slow .. for wht?

[Areesh]

Asad Shafiq. :facepalm:

[Justcrazy]

asad , is a selfish player, just playing for his place in the side. This mentality is harming Pakistan a lot. It harmed against Sri lanka also.

[Asif321]

maiden over :facepalm:

[Areesh]

Maiden over. :pissed:

[Ashraful_Rox]

<iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AJp8jpDIycI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Happened to Ab Before :yk

[JibranAnsari]

please get Umar Akmal in the side.

[Areesh]

:umarakmal is a must in this team.

[musama]

f..... ASAD wht the ... he is doing

[Asif321]

:four :misbah:misbah

[Ashraful_Rox]

Giving maiden to Elias Sunny is a crime, even :gul can hit this guy for sixers

[JibranAnsari]

out of 132 deliveries today. shafiq has played 65 and in the rest 67 , 41 runs have been scored.

[MVP26]

:4 misbah

[Justcrazy]

:4

[Asif321]

ohh this ball was perfect for misbah to hit

mised it

[Areesh]

:four by Misbah

[Areesh]

Come on Asad. Kuch to karo bhai. :(

[MVP26]

asad should just get out :facepalm:

[Justcrazy]

20 runs lead

[Ashraful_Rox]

66 more overs remaining, Pakistan should play 46 overs and score 200 more runs and declare.

[MVP26]

misbah out

[Ashraful_Rox]

:out shakib Iceman

[Love Pakistan]

:out

Whata shot to get out on!

[JibranAnsari]

Let us see now if asad has in him to play with the tail , at the moment he can't even manage it with the batsmen.

[MVP26]

Atleast misbah tried accelerating unlike asad

[Ashraful_Rox]

:shakib needs three more wickets then he'll have a 100 on this match and a 5fer

[pakistanbest]

Time to see what Shafiq is made off, he needs to accelerate and get us to a lead of 100+

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan leading by 26 now, Pakistan should start hitting out here and get a quick 50 - 60 runs here.

[JibranAnsari]

4 more overs before lunch.

[Justcrazy]

No point in saving wickets .... and wasting overs.... just move on.

[pakistanbest]

Akmal is doing a Shafiq here

[Usman]

This is just shameful. We are playing Bangladesh of all opponents - first we let them score an amount of runs that they can usually only dream off and then we bat so slowly that a result is the last thing that is expected. Shameful stuff against such weak opponents.

[qaiser]

wicket don't seem easy for shot playing

[Ashraful_Rox]

:shafiq breaking free

[Ashraful_Rox]

10 runs of the sunny over but still stupid mushfish will continue with him

[JibranAnsari]

Asad gets another life. He is terrible against spin.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Another dropped catch. Who's our fielding catch? :kami

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Salam guys. How long delay was it today?

[Ashraful_Rox]

Salam guys. How long delay was it today?

W. Salam :amla

[Justcrazy]

I do not understand why pakistan players have becom so pathetic against spin????

:asad :azhar :razzler

Dreadful coverage, horrible commentary. Pitch report today was atrocious. Hope there is a result.

[Justcrazy]

[TV Umpire]

Guys, all this whining over RR is getting annoying. We can't control it, learn to live with it.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lunch.

Good batting by :misbah and :shafiq
Terrible fielding by mushfiq, riyadh, rabiul and etc

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lead by 48 runs, score 100 more runs and declare.

Just go go beserk after lunch, and smash quick runs, no matter if you get all out, then come back and rock BD with quick wickets.

[Asif321]

soo no thinking of declaring till tea it seems :misbah

[Areesh]

Very disappointing batting by Pakistan.

[ash 68]

Once again good solid batting

Whining girls on here will never be happy they would rather we batted at 10 runs an over and been bowled out for 180

Pathetic supporters really

[I Believe in the Teesra]

agreed

[Couch Cricketer]

I don't get what so many of you are crying about its Bangladesh on the 5th day will not even survive 2 sessions.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Once again good solid batting

Whining girls on here will never be happy they would rather we batted at 10 runs an over and been bowled out for 180

Pathetic supporters really

[mmkextreme_1]

[TV Umpire]

I hope the tail-enders play their shots

[Areesh]

I am missing :umarakmal while watching this mediocre batting.

Even some one like Robiul Islam can get a wicket against our batting. :facepalm:

[TV Umpire]

393/6

Rehman is a tuk tuk batsman

[Areesh]

100 lead looks difficult now. :(
