Thats right, dish network is not showing.
7.2 Umar Gul to Habibul Bashar, FOUR, short in length, pulls it well to long leg boundary, once again placed it well
Damn this Bashar guy keep hittin 4
Debutant Shabbir Ahmed brought into attack now
Shoaib Akhtar , 4 over for 22 runs 
This is test cricket, economy rate doesn’t matter, wickets matter.
A typical Bangladesh start, very much like a one day match.
Bangladesh 60/1 (13.0 ov)
Bangladesh RR: 4.62
Batsmen: R B 4s 6s S/R
Hannan Sarkar (RHB) 17 38 2 0 44.74 Striker
Habibul Bashar (RHB) 34 32 7 0 106.25 Non-striker
Bowlers: O M R W Econ
Umar Gul (RFM) 6.0 4 20 1 3.33 (2nb, 0w)
Shabbir Ahmed (RFM) 3 1 15 0 5.00 (2nb, 0w)
Shabbir and Shoiab getting a wake up call as of now. Gul is decent.
300+ on the card? i hope so :~)
71 / 1 in 17.5 overs.
They went in with only 4 regular bowlers??!!
And that too considering the inexperienced duo of Gul and Shabbir and a currently inconsistent Shoaib. a poor decision.
^
on top of that, decided to field after winning the toss. rashid was high on something or what?
80 / 1 in 20 overs [4.00 Run Rate]

I think it was the right decision to bowl first. Our batting will surely give some bashing to the Bangali but these bowlers are not doing good job at the moment.
4 bowlers are enough, and the fact that Hafeez can also bowl makes it five.
This is a very seamer friendly pitch, our bowlers need to put the bowl in right places, if they are going to take any wickets.
EP = Go back to Bangladesh :nahnah:
97/1…damn…bengalis are giving us an ass whooping so far

I would agree 4(+1) bowlers are enough, especially since the Khi wicket is seamer-friendly like you said..but at least 2 out of 4 should be frontline experienced bowlers..
Shoaib is in and out of form at the Test level as of recently..and Umar and Shabbir are not experienced enough to put the opposition's team under constant pressure..

yea...and Danish...2 overs for 13 runs...seems like the Bengalis have figured him out. Hafeez wont be very successfull in test matches as a bowler, he isnt a wicket taking bowler but a bowler who slows down the slow of runs. I wonder why Shoiab Malik is not playing, Pakistan could have used him :(
An empty stadium and an inept bowling display.
114 / 1 in 29.2 overs. :~)
^ yeah, not including Shoaib Malik or an extra seamer in the original squad might end up being a costly decision as it stands now.
anyway, the majority of the runs are coming from boundaries from both batsman at the moment..guding to empty third man region, driving through vacant covers etc, so we're not bowling disciplined enough at all.. Shoab and Shabbir have to tighten up their line..
**
29.3 Umar Gul to Habibul Bashar, FOUR, pitches up, went for the
expensive drive, off the edge to Taufeeq Umar in 2nd slip dropped
a simple chance
**
fielding is pathetic aswell along with bowling :~)
123 / 3
1 wicket a piece for shabbier and shoaib.
2 new batsmen at the crease.
finally the bowlers wake up and are bowling better now...hopefully they can bowl on the Bengalis under 250.
