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
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.

[asnl59]

[whyamir]

[Sledger]

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

[Sledger]

2nd Hundred against Bd.

[cricfan4ever]

well played now go on get a double!

[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

Very much so

[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

would be nice to see get a big score

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

[Sledger]

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

[TalhaSyed]

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

Haha just enough to time for a ball or two

[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]

averages 89 vs India wow

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

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]

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]

survives

poor Shahadat...

[Justcrazy]

[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.

[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

[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.

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]

ITS ON!!!!

[Inswinger]

Discuss the Khan fight in this thread
http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/sh...37#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]

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]

[Justcrazy]

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

[Justcrazy]

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

[Inswinger]

Lead 331 runs now.

[Justcrazy]

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

[Sledger]

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]

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]

Originally Posted by Sledger 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.
