54 / 4 at lunch. Cheema going good. We are really lcuky to have fast bowlers one after another..
Hope he will not be thrown out when wahab riaz comes back. He really bowls all his body n soul.
More like....Misbah Wins the toss on the batting friendliest conditions ever and decides to bowl against the mighty BD.
Formar chief selector keeps not giving chance to Talha against the mighty BD after leaving Pak saying this will ebe an opportunity for juniors....Meanwhile Aus and NZ and SA give opportunities to new bowlers and have potentially discovered guys that can lead their attacks for next 5 years whereas we keep wondering what is wrong Pak bowling and batting line ups every time we come against a good team or at good test match wicket.

Talha is useles. Despite hype machines working he is not express pace (say like Shoaib) and have very poor technique. Bowls from too wide of crease to get many bowled or LBW decisions. Bowls a lot of full deliveries on the pads. Has little seam or swing movement.
Misbahs methods have been working so far. That is all that matters.
I think due to the heavy fog, pakistan team management and captain decided to bowl first again..Misbah and team should be able to clean them up quick on the 2nd day..BD will surely throw away their wickets again.. probably 275-280 first inning for BD inshallah...
Then it will be real test for Pakistan to first overcome the deficit and then atleast post a 200+ lead..
*Once again Pakistan batted too slow scoring just 205 runs in 69 overs (RR: 2.97) on day 3
*
With 15-20 overs being lost every day because of fog/bad light, slow scoring might come back to hurt us
Although Misbah and Younis upped the rate slightly towards the end of the day scoring 43 runs off the last 10 overs
This is one of the main reason pakistan will find it hard to beat sides above them because those teams score quickly always. Apart from Hafeez and YK to some extent, there is no one who can take the game to the opposition.
Mediocre BD attack, absolutely belter of a pitch and look at the run rate.
