I am not going to start bash, but as I have been mentioning about mentality, this mentality thing is to be eradicated as I personally feel incorporating young batters, but I have been critical of spoiling young players, as again as our society behaving between elderly and younger generation, megalomaniacally.

Onus

On paper, Pakistan looks bleak compared to Bangladesh, although Pakistan did right on winning the toss and bowl but is chasing our forte? Because although pitch looks juicy, but this is a South Asian surface, and definitely it is deemed to break after day three, so could Pakistan sustain that long?

Pakistan's Venom-less Bowling

Bangladesh's playing eleven

Pakistan's bowling has been without vulture, which means utilizing the conditions, and extracting the conditions are two different things, and hence after getting two early wickets, they have not able to utilize the conditions, as right now when I am viewing scores (as again I am only following the scores) 139/2 in 37 overs, whereas just like Jasprit Bumrah spanked in IPL by Indian youngsters, I will not disregard Shaheen Afridi, but instead his handlers and PCB management, it is high time, PCB should utilize Shaheen Afridi with respect and develop newer bowlers, it was astonishingly for me seeing Mohammad Abbas, how badly we have treated him, is this how we treat our assets i.e., Cricketers, but this is where I would be criticising PCB where several leakage of news from PCB in order to create a controversy, because the same issue, we experienced during initial times of HBL PSL 2026.

This is how "premier" fast bowler bowls?

Babar Azam "sudden" injury

If Babar Azam is necessary for Pakistan Cricket, then BA should take account of his fitness, and the TikTok reels released clearly showed that BA was confused in facing wobbling deliveries, this is the reason why I have been critical of the role of Social Media, PR agencies and those journalists who always support the hype, I have no grudges with Babar Azam, but ethical issues should be given importance for the country, because the same batter scored 588 runs in PSL, but now it seems mysterious how yesterday suddenly in late hours got "injured."

Pakistan already in red-zone whereas Bangladesh in yellow-zone

I am listening to Commentaries from Ali and Furqan Bhatti, slightly disagree with them, instead I am expecting Pakistan "already" in red-zone, keeping in mind, Pakistan has two uncapped players who will bat as early as day 2, I can't see Pakistan taking quick wickets, I wish Pakistan proves me wrong, but right now what I am seeing, I have to write accordingly, someone rightly said, home teams create wickets keeping strengths of visiting teams, and ironically I have to agree with one comment, now cricket fraternity doesn't afraid of Pakistani bowling.

Day-one advantage - Bangladesh

Bangladesh clearly winner of the Day 1 of
Dhaka test

I won't be arrogant, instead realistically speaking that Pakistan cricket is being ruined by Marketers, not cricketers, just see this analysis, game is being played in South Asia, and everyone knows later innings i.e., 3rd innings will definitely decide the fate of the Dhaka test, and for which I am not expecting anything positive from Pakistan, not expecting anything from two debutants, as it would be unfair to them, but rest of the team, like someone rightly said, test match is played from both ends during the sessions, unlike here where except Mohammad Abbas 37 years old playing with more venom, whereas no venom was seen from the 25 years old Premium Fast Bowler Shaheen Afridi wasn't able to bowl with that fierce, which was previously associated with Pakistan cricket, now globally none taking our bowling seriously.

Someone saying...

Bangladesh already scored 200 while I am writing these lines, and still celebrating mediocracy, this is high time, not to create cricket team on Narratives, if required, then also analyze where's that narrative coming from.

Just look above screenshot and this, and
how quickly Bangladesh's are scoring.

Quick runs scored by Bangladesh

It seems pitch will slow down, which means that batting at later sessions in this test match will become more difficult as someone rightly said, don't go on conditions, the soil is still South Asian.

Updates at 3:29 pm Pakistan time

Bangladesh cruising towards 300 scoring mark, and like before Friday prayers I mentioned that pitch is made on South Asian soil and hence wicket will definitely turn hard-to-score as soon as it becomes powderier and dusty, since it is South Asian soil, it is definitely the case that more LBW decisions await for Pakistan, because this team is made on Social Media Hype, not on Cricketing Background, those hypers, who are not asked for more curry on dining table, those are ruling the Social Media, there should be accountability where such hype is originated, because this is Pakistan's cricket we are talking about, and Pakistan's cricket shouldn't be dictated on the basis of social media hype, I am deeply hurt being Pakistani cricket fan, there should be respect, esteem and dignity associated with Pakistan, not the trending kings of Twitter, because this thing should also be taken account where such trends coming from. There should be a systematic mechanism backed.
