Faisalabad Wolves v Lahore Lions | Super Eight T-20 Cup | Lahore | 30/3/13 | 1st Semi

[IAJ]

Just don't give away a boundary Ahsan.

Last ball coming up, still 3 needed to win, 2 for super over

 

[MRSN]

I think we have lost it

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Lahore Lions collapse is pretty representative in the mindless way PAK chases. Even a low score can be high enough.

 

[IAJ]

Cheema can win it for Lions here

 

[endymion248]

2 runs pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaase.

We don't need Ghedars in CL.

 

[IAJ]

Yes!!!!!!!!

 

[IAJ]

Wolwes!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[IAJ]

Ehsan you beauty!

 

[MRSN]

Pathetic..awful choke by LL..

 

[Asif321]

hahah kya baat hai ehsan adil ......... omg wht a turnaround ... lahore choked !

 

[shah_1]

some really crap batting from Lahore, you just gave this match to FW

 

[Hamza_]

Oh no Man :'(

 

[Madplayer]

Ehsan has held his nerve. These are the kind of bowlers Pakistan need. Remember ehsan vs india u19 in asia cup final? He defended very few runs in the final over then too.

 

[IAJ]

2 runs pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaase.

We don't need Ghedars in CL.

Don't worry, there are Stallions and Rams out there as well.

 

[endymion248]

I fully blame Akmal brothers, Wahab Riaz and Adnan Rasool.

 

[Asif321]

hahahahhaha all blame goes to great person mister KAMRAN AKMAL :kami

 

[IAJ]

Lols Misbah and Shoaib Malik hugging

 

[WebGuru]

Anybody interested in opening a new thread about Akmals?

 

[Poison]

What a collapse from 2-85 in the 10th over to 123 all out in the 20th

 

[thewrongUn]

Hats off to the best cricket brain in pakistan..misbah ul haq niazi...well done fiasalabd team

 

[shah_1]

I would beat hell out of Adnan Rasool, WTH was he doing

 

[chacha kashmiri]

misbah the ice cube somehow gets to the final

 

[gangstathe13th]

unbelievable - it ain't over till its over!

 

[Madplayer]

Not many bowlers can make a comeback like ehsan did in the last over.. He is Mentally very strong.

 

[endymion248]

Now, we won't see the future of Pakistan playing final and CL, but rather trundlers and tuk tuk

Thanks Wahab Riaz, Aizaz Cheema and Akmals.

 

[HASHAM2]

Ehsan Adil deserved Chance Now for PAKISTAN TEAM

 

[Punisher]

Guys where can I watch this match?

 

[IAJ]

Not many bowlers can make a comeback like ehsan did in the last over.. He is Mentally very strong.

Yes that was amazing, after 2 balls I though he had messed it up, but he kept his cool in the end.

Both Ehsan and Zia bowled well in this match!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

WTH.. was Adnan doing.issed:.....brain farts from akmal Bros and Hafeez lost the game for :ll... unlucky Jamshed got run out. A crap team in the final.......!!!!
BTW.. it was truly a world class over from Ehasan... same thing he did it in U19-2 Asia Cup Final....

 

[IAJ]

Guys where can I watch this match?

It's over.

 

[Asif321]

shame on Lions :umarakmal :kami ........... couldnt make even 127 )

well done misbah and 2 youngster beauties ehsan and asad

 

[saiyan0312]

MAn ehsan bowled a world class over.... this is coming back strongly. He was hit and he came back and held his nerve... What a player...

As for lahore loins... this is beyond disappointing. Complete fault lies with the middle order. brain farts everywhere. pathetic.

 

[endymion248]

Yes that was amazing, after 2 balls I though he had messed it up, but he kept his cool in the end.

Both Ehsan and Zia bowled well in this match!

Ehsan was okay. Nothing special, just good length to the tail. Zia is the real deal.

Slow down mate. They are a fine side with 3 good pacers in Ehsan, Niazi and Asad Ali and good batsmen as well, and they are good fielders.

I heard somewhere yesterday Akmal brothers are not happy with Hafeez, so they could have underperformed here. You never know with these brothers.

 

[saiyan0312]

same thing he did it in U19-2 Asia Cup Final

YEah that was unbelievable over too... Totally held his nerve in the last ball of the over when 1 was needed from 1 ball and he forced the batsmen to play dot. Can bowl under pressure and can take the wickets.... deserve a chance in the team....

 

[Hamza_]

It was an excellent game, now looking forward to next one.

 

[Punisher]

What about the Rams vs Stallions match? Is there any stream where I can watch it.

 

[Black Zero]

good aggressive play by Yahya Hussaini

this...but now just hope Rams beat both overrated teams..hopefully!!

It's actually plausible. Akmals are used to dodgy plays

 

[saiyan0312]

Ehsan was okay. Nothing special, just good length to the tail. Zia is the real deal.

Come on yaar... ehsan has shown that he can bowl good line and length consistently and he did good in his debut test too. Zia is a real deal but ehsan is also there.... Remember pollock,mcgrath and asif were all line and length bowlers and they were great.

I would pick him over spray guns any day. needs a chance .

 

[Black Zero]

What about the Rams vs Stallions match? Is there any stream where I can watch it.

search "smarttvlive and Geo super" in google..

 

[Asif321]

want to see pindi and faisalabad in finals ...

 

[saiyan0312]

Slow down mate. They are a fine side with 3 good pacers in Ehsan, Niazi and Asad Ali and good batsmen as well, and they are good fielders.

I wont be surprised if such was the case. they are dodgy. Well hope hammad does good in the next match considering he is given a fair chance by kukkri.

 

[saiyan0312]

Who is the MOM??

 

[endymion248]

No, McGraths and Asif were not only line and length players. They could swing it a long way and seam it both ways.

 

[IAJ]

Yeh Hafeez kou apna English ka bokhaar utaar dena chahye. Talk urdu man!

There is no smoke without fire and both have been accused previously in that dreadful Australia series. If there is any truth would never pick them for Pakistan again just pathetic.

 

[IAJ]

Who is the MOM??

Ehsan Adil

 

[HASHAM2]

Ehsan adil Man of the match <3

 

[chacha kashmiri]

i hope ehsan, zia ul haq don't go the same way as the last decent u19 pair i.e ignored and neglected

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ehsan was okay. Nothing special, just good length to the tail. Zia is the real deal.

.... Have to accept the fact Both are Awesome... Zia was good , but Ehasan held his nerve till the End... Experienced CHEEMA wasn't able to hold on a good over against The tAIL in this Match ..:a jmalwhich caused 11 runs in the final Over...

 

[endymion248]

Allegations:

Kamran: Syndey and many other drops.

Umar: Not playing in WC as WK.

Akmals are above team's interest.

 

[Madplayer]

No, McGraths and Asif were not only line and length players. They could swing it a long way and seam it both ways.

Mcgrath was all about seam movement and line+length. He hardly swung the ball..

 

[endymion248]

Cheema is the reference now?

Ehsan Adil can be our third seamer. But don't get your hopes too high, he won't always bowl to the tail.

 

[endymion248]

Mcgrath was all about seam movement and line+length. He hardly swung the ball..

Yeah, I was thinking more about Asif on the swing point. Anyways, it's not like Adil has seam movement.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

No, McGraths and Asif were not only line and length players. They could swing it a long way and seam it both ways.

ehsan is only 19... just give him 1 or two year interntionl experience.he'll outclass them INsha allah... FYI.. McGrath, Asif etc showed their class when they were aged round 25-26.... Asif Got hmmered during his start of career and Mcgrath too....

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Good cricket. Great to see youngsters like Zia and Ehsan doing so well. Good weekend so far.

Hope Raza Hasan and Hammad can do well in the upcoming match

 

[Madplayer]

Maybe we shouldnt be surprized if umar akmal makes it to the playing 11 in the next ODI?

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Good cricket. Great to see youngsters like Zia and Ehsan doing so well. Good weekend so far.

Hope Raza Hasan and Hammad can do well in the upcoming match

 

[saiyan0312]

Ehsan Adil

Thanks.

i hope ehsan, zia ul haq don't go the same way as the last decent u19 pair

I agree... hope they can reach upto their potentials unlike these two

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Cheema is the reference now?
.

Lol.. So You din see the Game and talking Big... CHEEMA Got hammered for 11 runs in the LAST Over against FB Tails...

 

[endymion248]

ehsan is only 19... just give him 1 or two year interntionl experience.he'll outclass them INsha allah... FYI.. McGrath, Asif etc showed their class when they were aged round 25-26.... Asif Got hmmered during his start of career and Mcgrath too....

In 2006, Asif was 22 or 23. And he showed to be really smart for his age, not only line and length or movement.

Anyways, if Adil can be half as good as McG or Asif, I'll be happy.

 

[endymion248]

Lol.. So You din see the Game and talking Big... CHEEMA Got hammered for 11 runs in the LAST Over against FB Tails...

Yes, but Cheema is not exactly world class, is he?

 

[saiyan0312]

Yeah, I was thinking more about Asif on the swing point. Anyways, it's not like Adil has seam movement.

Give him time. He is just 19 and he is learning... picking up wickets left and right. and that was a peach of a delivery that got greame smith who has played over a hundred test matches.... And he was economical there too. Pretty sure if given a consistent run he can very very useful...

Fine enough. But people are hyping him up like crazy because of his domestic performance
while he didn't show to be an extra-ordinary potential in International.

 

[Rizwan25]

Umer akmal just proved us wrong. Misbah was so right when he didnt pick him in playing 11.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Asif showed to be really smart for his age, not only line and length or movement.

Anyways, if Adil can be half as good as McG or Asif, I'll be happy.

You clarified my point...Asif was not World Class during 2006-2007.. he showed his smartness of His age...!!!!!! i think He became world class after 2008 season...

BTW Am great fan of Asif.. I would like his Comeback as early as possible.... but now we are struggling for a right hand pacer...!!!
IN sha allah... Adil will outclass Mcgrth once he learn the art of swinging the Ball both ways..

 

[endymion248]

He doesn't need to swing it both ways, he needs to seam it both ways and improve his outswinger.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yes, but Cheema is not exactly world class, is he?

But in Misbah's view, he is.....

Lahore lost
Will the team winning S8 make it to CLT20 or will it be the FBT20 winners?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done Wolves! but the chocking lions in there place!

 

[thewrongUn]

Ehsan Adil is a rare talent indeed..lucky enough to be in Misbah's team and spotted by the selectors as well at early age....way to go folks...

 

[Seen Sheen]

Congrats to Wolves. Extremely disappointed the way Lahore Lions subsided. Mindless cricket from their lower order in the final two overs cost them dearly.


By the way, does anyone know which team would feature in Champions League? The winner of this tournament or the winner of the previous tournament (FBT20 - Lahore Lions were the winners)?

 

[Down2Earth]

Misbah showing hafeez who's daddy. And the scorecard makes the match seem fixed but I never watched it so can't say for sure. Akmal brothers are a joke
