1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

YK trying to get to his hundred today. Looks difficult though as he has to score 14 huge runs in only 5 overs

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

400-4 Pakistan :)

Hope to read that score line more often especially against England and SAF next year :D

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

**CONGRATS ON 6000 Test match runs ! [4th highest run scorer for Pakistan]

Younis Khan :hbk:

The Best Is Yet To Come From Younis**

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

YK is at 96 . Hope he will get his 100 tomorrow.
Pk maintaining comparatively a good RR

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Yet another great performance by YK.

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Congrats to Younis Khan on reaching 6,000 test runs, a class and dependable test bat

If he does get there tomorrow it w'd be his 19th test hundred. Miandad's 8832 test runs might be difficult to surpass but Inzi's 25 test hundreds is well within Younis's reach (Pakistan are playing 16 tests in the next 2 years)

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Younis is an example of how hard work and determination can make you into a great test cricketer, talent isn't the be all and end all

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Totally Agree Bro!

YK is such a hardworker !

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

**Day - 3

**Younis completes his 19th test ton :k:

441/4, YK 119*

Lead: 306

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Why are Bangladesh so pathetic?

Things seem to be going downhill fast instead of improving with time?

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

I am currently watching watching Amir vs Peterson right now!!!....I hope BD fans are not insulted

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

And I am mainly blaming their batters who look totally clueless about their job. This was not a 130 pitch..

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

I dont care about the cluse-less batters and the team...To me, BD are the brave ones, they are bravely facing the team which is non risk taking spineless cowards.

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Well one could argue that defensive Misbah and co. do not need to take risks as reckless Bangladesh are more than capable of messing things up for themselves any time in the field

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

GA, there is difference between postive and reckless....I want Pak to be Positive but Captain, seniors in 11 and management either sees being defensive and being Reckless the only two avenues....and they are picking being defensive...Which is sad for Pak cricket...This is bad for PAk cricket as this attitude will only see them with consistent victories against 2nd and third tier teams but wouldnt get them anywhere against quality sides like SA/Eng/Aus/India.

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

Congrats Shafiq. Hope this hundred is the first of many, many more to come. Asad Shafiq has to be the best young batsman that came out of Pakistan in the last couple of years.

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

EDIT

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

after Umar Akmal

As a batsman, Umar is far more talented possessing a greater range of strokes than both Asad and Azhar

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

583/5

Misbah likely will declare as soon as Younis (190*) reaches his double hundred

Re: 1st Test: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 9-13

I dont think under the conditions they reallyneed to go faster. There is plenty of time in the test and there are no bonus points for finishing the test before 5 days.
