Cricket match prediction discussions

[mm2543363580]

I don't know why there is so lengthy debate going on about BCB and Shakib? As per my knowledge shakib has played 59 test, 218 ODIs and 96 T20Is for Bangladesh and still I read posts that BCB has not done justice with that legendary all rounder. What else a player need from his board if he has played so many matches.

This is all because of the increasing money flow into cricket and the emergence of Bangladesh as a better team with time. When there is money automatically there'll be politics and the same is happening with the Bangladesh cricket board. He's a good cricketer, and has faced several such disciplinary complaints which is true. Now what has been looking like an politics that is being played by people who doesn't have better idea about cricket. This is like establishing their power.

Yes shakib has been one of the best players for Bangladesh. May be we can say he is the best player of all time for Bangladesh. But his behaviour time and time again has been very bad. He has only decreased his respect among cricket fans. I dont agree that BCB has not done justice with him. I think he has not done justice to his skills and for his country by showing bad behaviour.

Can we give a bit of attention to women cricket team as well. They are also doing good and needs a bit of appreciation. In today's match Eng Vs South Africa - I believe SV will win this match they are at the moment batting chasing and needs 67 runs from 74 balls.

The match is going great - both the teams are in great spirits. Good batting, excellent fielding and wonderful bowling by both the team. England lost its 6 wicket now and still 37 to win from 38 balls. Pressure building up. I am siding SA too.

You're this statement is shocking for me as after 23 years of test states and having very long experience of playing cricket they still have no idea how to handle things fairly in board

Exactly my point because 23 years is a long time for any Nation. And by this time Bangladesh should have been recognized as a force to be reckoned with in cricket but that is not something we will see right now. Nepotism and favoritism have been in the Bangladesh cricket board like a plague. And the only way to remove this is to change the personnel on the board in my opinion.

The problem is Shakib Al Hasan wants to be treated better as he is the best player in the Bangladesh team and the board thinks that has a problem. They just don't want to admit that they have the best cricketer in their team and want to establish their authority everywhere. that's where the communication gap between the cricket board and the players comes into play which has held the Bangladesh cricket team back for a long time.

It's come to a point of annoying that we are discussing shakib and BCB for no reason again and again. I mean enough has been said about both, still everyone coming up with same logic that Bangladesh is not progressing because of corruption in BCB. Can we discuss anything else here? With no offense.

A good point now it's time for change of topic because this all is already sorted out by both stakeholders with now Shakib is going to South Africa and BCB is also having clear all things, so members need to understand and change the point of this talk, but sadly I just check we have no enough to talk because very bore time around cricket with IPL is going to start after few days, and then we can talk some other things and have some enough topics to talk about.

Australia is having some good time in Karachi test with super bowling from their main attacking bowlers they completely demolish Pakistani batting which is now heading for biggest lost in next two days of this test match.

AustraliaW won by 7 wickets with 118 ball remaining their last ODI world cup match.AustraliaW played really well their last match.WindiesW didn’t big score so Australian women take it easy win.AustraliaW have to good team and their team combination as well.I hope they will win their next all matces in this world cup match and i hope they will win this ODI world cup. I hope AustraliaW will be champion ICC Women ODI world cup 2022.

@galambo a fair point and we can now chose to discuss how Vihari and Iyer have cemented their places and effectively ended Pujara and Rahane comeback chances, because I see no way the latter two can return back to the playing 11.

Also Pakistan management will have to answer the tough questions as to how did the team collapse so soon despite having the home advantage, and one reason I can suggest is Pakistan became overconfident after drawing the first match, what other reasons can you’ll think for their collapse.

^ It was really unbelievable how the Pakistan team collapsed. I actually think that they were under some good amount of criticism after the draw in the first 2 matches. I think they felt like they had to go for the win in this test, they obviously can do that.

But, you know, they really become overconfident too. It was really surreal how their 1st innings collapsed. Now, they need 314 runs on the last day of the test match & they have 8 wickets in hand. Babar Azam really needs to stay at the crease for a long time if they do want to achieve that target and others will also need to play a big role and make big partnerships.

That was a really moderate target for a team like Australia to chase. And they are a lot better as a team than west indies. It was quite expected for most people, I would say.
But I really have to talk about Ellyse Perry. A really sensational cricketer. And she really seems to be everywhere in the match. It's really hard to find a player like that. She might be the Shakib Al Hasan of women's cricket. 

A perfect all-rounder. And she plays a big role in almost everyone in Australia. As she also did in the match against West Indies.

One of the most over confident guy in Pakistan team is imam ul haq. He was selected in team initially purely on nepotism as his uncle Inzamam-ul-Haq was chief selector at that time. After first test imam gave too many statements like he is new Don Bradman of the era. See the result in second test yourself.

Today is a good day for Pakistan - All rounder of the match went to Muhammad Rizwan. And wow!!  for Babar Azam too. Today the team played well. Interesting match though. Let's take out time to appreciate boys. Forget other stuff. I am so amazed and suprized in what Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam did today. Well played boys!

Hands down to those who predicted a draw for Pakistan and Aussie test match. What a treific draw by Pakistan and what a wonderful performance by Muhammad Rizwan and Captain Babar Azam. I really like the personality of Muhammad Rizwan. Can't get my eyes off the TV when Riz is on the field.

Yeah... congrats to Pakistan for saving the match. But the man of the match award should go to the curator who prepared the dead pitch. To be frank, the pitch was not of international quality and it is a shame that the PCB needs to resort to such cheap tactics to get some points in the WTC. If they had prepared a lively pitch and lost the match, then there was some honor in that. At least we could have said that they tried hard. But for this series, from the very first day the Pakistanis went on the defensive. There is no honor even if they win a few points from drawn matches.

England vs WI test series is also in progress and first match ended in draw and on first day of second test England were 244/3 at stumps. What you will say about curator of that pitches? I have already said in Test match thread and will repeat that both teams are equally strong for each other and its right of country to make pitches according to there own will.

I really thought that the pitch was going to be a lot better than this. I really did not expect to see this after 24 years. I thought that the matches were going to be really competitive. Instead, we just saw the batters playing as they wish, and realistically there is a love result outside a draw in a pitch like this.

If any team becomes aggressive it is certain that they might lose a wicket but if they play safe there is no way that a batsman is going to get out. But I have to give credit to Pakistan for not losing the test match.

We never expected Pakistan's display of heroics at the crease and their patience. You can easily understand how suddenly the situation has changed if you compare the two innings of Pakistan. In the WTC table, Australia and Pakistan both lead the way. If Pakistan had taken advantage of home advantage here, they would have won instead of drawing. Pakistan has tough road trips ahead. Losing next match will see them fall below Sri Lanka.

You are right that pitch was not upto standard and we see hardly any support for bowlers so far except in Pakistan second innings. Australia is visiting Pakistan after 24 years and Pakistan just don't wanna lose this series to prove there equivalency with Australia team. Poor show by curator.

Actually, Australia could have won this one easily, but they messed up big-time due to which Pakistan somehow managed a draw. I never expected them to win even after an amazing second innings.

I feel that the final test will go to Australia since their batting and bowling units have been consistent so far in this series.

I agree that the pitches were not in their best state, but the Australian bowlers still managed to take advantage of them in a better manner when compared to the Pakistan bowlers which is praiseworthy.

All is well that ends well. Everyone was in good mood. Especially Waqar Younus, after the match review, he looked so happy and said in last 10 over my heart was pumping on every ball. Draw also means a win for Pakistan. To be honest, Pakistani needs to work more honestly in their respective departments. They are certainly lacking professionalism.
