Latif is still on 0* after playing 20 balls. I am sure he will get out while the score is not there.
Any bets on Inzi pulling this one in favour of Pak and redeeming himself. :D
If he hadn’t run out Younis who knows? The big guy might have given himself a better chance.
Right now I’d rather bet on Princess Di being spotted alive and well in Inzimam ul Haq spectator enclosure

I think he is under tremendous pressure to make this innings to have a place in the next matches.
When you put a bunch of unknown players in the PAK team, what do you expect?
We should have treated this Test series with respect. Instead, Anwar isnt there, Shoaib Aktar was allowed to go to Durham, etc
Look at our batting line up - no known or established players except for Inzy and Younis khan.
Looks like a Pak A team that is playing.
As usual, we will create a record - giving Bangladesh their first win. Pathetic. Add this to our other world records like lowest score in a game, losing to Bangledesh in a One day, etc
i think Rashid is doing a great job by not hitting the balls and staying at the crease and putting pressure on BD bowlers ..
^Sofar the unknown players have performed better than the know players. The unknown made runs and took wickets.
Ah! Latif made a run after playing 38 balls.
So Latif is gone for 5 after playing 39 balls. I think we its fair to have some other player for the ODIs in place of him.
Asoka desilva should be taking the umpiring lessons again, let alone be an elite umpire 
Aab too Allah hee humari team par rahem karen.
There it goes, first ever Test victory for BD… I see it coming 
saqlain and latif had a challenge to see who cud face the maximum number of balls with the least runs scored....
lets see who wins this one....

I think Afridi and Nazir must be right. You go there to make runs. Getting out is for sure!
If every player makes 30-40 runs, we are done!
The strategy is right, Saqlain shouldnt throw his wicket away and occupy the crease, that will frustrate BD bowlers while inzimam should do the run-making, whats wrong with that?
Lets hope some miracle happens and inzimam is there to finish the match with a boundary.
Close of play Pakistan 148/6.
Inzi not out 53.
113 required for victory with 4 wickets standing.
The match is in BD's favour.
The lone hope for Pakistan is Inzi.
Let's wait for a miracle tomorrow.

wait AND hope !!
Waisay i think BD deserves to win this match, But Pakistani youngsters like YAsir Hamid and Mohammad Hafeez should realize that Int'l cricket is not about making lone centuries, its about being consistent with your run making. Thats why inzimam went through the worst phase of his career after making that heroic 329. Hopefully after this innings, his bad days are gone.
I am not sure if he really is any hope. I wish Inzi and Saqlain can stay and not throw away wickets, runs will come their way… but who knows if Inzi can manage more run outs like Younis Khan’s 
There were too many factors in favor of Bengladesh
- Bad Pak fielding
- Worst Pak batting
- Inexperienced Pak bowling
- Good BD batting
- Better BD bowling
So much for tryin out new players. They havent learn anything from WC. They did the same thing and just before the WC all the seniors came back that gave us some hope of success which didn't happen.
We should take each series seriously with our best possible outfit. Infusing half of the team with new players is very stupid!.look what happened? We are losing against BD on our turf..
I don;t think Rashid is our answer..He doesnt have leadership qualities..
Inzi might be able to hang around but there's no way they'll be able to do that at the other end, after Saqi it's a bunch of rabbits so Inzi will run out of partners.
Well though he's playing now, his running out of Younis more or less handed the match to BD.
