Pakistan v Bangladesh, 1st Test, Rawalpindi, 21-25 August, 2024.

This is also starting today, in about 8 hours.

Couldn’t see a thread.

Can’t see the Bangles being competitive here.

John the Bookie can ....




well Pakistan under-performing

Nice thread topic fix, Fromage. Good to know you’re still around and keeping things tidy.

Go the Bangles …

Bangers on top early with the Wackies at 3-16, but Ayub and Shakeel then both made 50s to get Pak back into the Test.

Only 41 overs bowled, after an extended rain delay.

Wow, 240 stand between Shakeel and Rizwan took the game away from the Bangers.

Rizwan’s an amazing player. Decent keeper and averages over 40 with the bat in all formats.

Bangers making a reasonable fist of replying to the Wackies' 448. Currently 5-279.

Now watch the wheels fall off quickly.

Litton Das giving Naseem Shah some stick in that over
4 4 . 6 4 .

Looks headed for a draw at the moment.

So the wheels didn't fall off. Well done Bangers.

Bangers continue to fight - a century to Mushfu*cker and good support from Maheedy heedy heedy (the Moocher).

I was hoping to see Shadman make a century ... but no-one knows what it's like.

I had the YouTube video all ready to go last night, but ....!

It's a forum tradition.

Mushfiqur Rahim out for 191. Partnership was 194.

Bangladesh 7/528.

Go the Bangers!!!

Pakistan wickets - where bowlers go to die.

Pakistan 4/68 still 49 behind the Bangladesh first innings. This could result in a Bangladesh win!

Now 8 down, and only 4 runs up.

Finish them off, Bangers!!

30 to win …

Bangers WIN!!!.

Yikes, Wackies all out 146 unfortunately has JtB written all over it.

This is the great tragedy of Pak's history with match-fixing. You can never tell when a result is fair dinkum or not.

Anywho, hearty congrats to the Mighty Manics. I'm sure they don't give a shit if the Wackies did throw it.
