Just looked at cricinfo to see match ended in a tie :))
Will we have a one-over eliminator?
 
Misbah was on their side!

Yupp.. Misbh Won the mtch against low quality spinners.. Today he failed against a descent PAce attack

He should have won this... second last over and 2 dot balls is almost criminal in T20 especially chasing.

Well the super over should decide this.
 
Akhtar ayub bowled the last over well..... not easy to keep the opoosition to 6 runs especially when the opponents are chasing 7 in the last over in T20!!!!
 
But Misbah keeps choking at the last minute , not a finisher, a bit like

He needs to work on this.... the third T20 with england comes to mind. this should have been wolves victory. otherwise he batted very well. 41 from 34 is not bad.
 
He bowled brilliantly.

Rams would have won if it was nto poor captaincy by Kukri...
Bowled Hammad for just 1 over....

thats not poor captiancy , its a player being so shameless he is trying to stop others from going to the national side
 
Weird bowling choices... tanvir had used 7 bowlers before the 11 over....

Amin went for 24 runs. in 2 overs. seems like tanvir wanted to keep hammad from being more in light.

He took 3 wickets in the previous match. Most probably kept back by tanvir to keep him away from selection.

Misbah would have taken Hammad to cleaners. Hammad's sort of pace is just ideal for his big hitting!

Kukri and Akhtar brought them back into the game by bowling fantastically at the death.

HAMMAD would have surely got MOM.. if he had bowled 3 more overs and got some wickets.:)

Instead of the 3 overs Hammad had to bowl, he bowled:
Umar amin for 1 over, he went for 13-14.
Yasim Murtaza for 2 overs, he went for 19.

I am sure Hammad would have done a better job than this.

He still should. Did not see anyone bat at that score.

Kukkri is really shameless in this point. not giving a youngster a chance.

As they say: Hindsight is a wonderful thing!I feel Hammad wouldn't have made much difference.


BUT he surely could make difference here again with his clean hitting in super over!
 
But atleast he Plays a lot Of youngsters in his Playing XI unlike Tuck tuckk.... nd Now has sent HAMMAD to bat in super over..... Thats good...

Hammad to bat?.. hope he sends one over the rope.
 
Sensible from HAMMAD.. ATook single.. Hope Zia doesn't do any brainfart

Finally a hitter who can rotate the strike after a boundry rather then going for 6 sixes..... so only 3 to win.
 
Awais Zia, :facepalm:. Caught at long on.

What brainless cricket from him. Just s single was required, why would you play a big shot!
 
Unbelievable.
Pathetic stuff from Salman.
Really disappointing stuff.
I have to say this is unbelievable and pathetic from Salman.
 
Rams win on bye..... i think if this was tie then wickets would have counted and wolves would have won. salman could have cost the team the match :P :P
 
Hammad has proved that he should be selected for CT.... the guy is a clean hitter and can hit when he wants too and play under pressure when wickets are falling all around him. What more does one need to be selected!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well done Hammad Azam and Rawalpindi
That first ball six was awesome <3
 
Fantastic innings earlier from Hammad.

Clean hitting, innovation and nice placement.

Are selectors not watching it anf if they are watching it there is no
Reason for hammad to be out of the pak team.i hope you put up this
Matter with selectors.
 
Rams deserve a better captain. Never seen a more selfish captain than Tanvir, first promoting himself ahead of proper batsmen like Waheed and then not giving the super over to more deserving, Akhtar Ayub !
