On top of it the guy Phillipe is a keeper.

He 100% is worth the $200-300k bracket in PSL

 

[Rana]

Those guys are utter rubbish in this format. They keep getting picked in franchise leagues and keep failing.

They should pick Saffers like Esterhuizen, Hermann brothers, Aussies like Josh Philippe,Kiwis like Matt Boyle, Ackeem Auguste from Caribbean etc.ahead of those guys(Smith, KW)

I also sense PSL franchises are tired of giving young overseas talent a platform to just say goodbye forever for the next decade or so.

SS missed out on 230 because………

 

[Rana]

PSL wants names that are world known and not newbies who will play one season and perform in PSL and then play IPL for the rest of their careers.

How did that work out with guys like Dwarshius, Akiel Hossein, Alzari Joseph etc?

 

[Rana]

Top first over by Dwarshius

Somebody in cricinfo, rightly pointed out that why pakistani players plays like **** even in the leagues. They dont even try new shots , learn new stuff or improve themselves. They will do the same things o er and over expecting magical results.

2nd innings will tell us if Babar played well or did his innings cost Sixers

He didn't play well. Even the boundaries were from edges.

2 out of the 3 are now back in the IPL.

Btw, you do realise it was a sarcastic thing up there

Not really.

Most of our players have done well in leagues in the past. Saim was player of the year in CPL. Even no hopers like Azam Khan have done well. Chacha even built a name for himself.

Shadab, Amir, Imad, Haris Rauf have been consistent in the past too.

bbl picked players for Instagram likes not based on abikty or even form.

NO PERSONAL REMARKS PLEASE

In terms of quality, gap is really increasing between the pak players and others. u can take example of good t20 players( not exceptional cases) like Tilak,Markram, Rachin etc.They are much more impactful, consistent and have better power hitting range than most of the pak players .

Sydney 10 runs shorts

What a prediction

 

[Rana]

What a prediction

They made Babar motm like they would in Peshawar Zalmi?

I feel for you. Bad day at the office.

Never. I am always right. A bad day in the office for me is Babar scoring a 40 ball century

 

[Kianig89]

The glorious cover drive was seen finally, which makes legend like M Waugh in awe of Babar.

That cover drive is pin point artillery stuff, text book standard
