Faysal Bank T20 | Match Day 2 | Rawalpindi / Islamabad | 07/02/2014

[MenInG]

Yesterday was a total wipeout - hopefully we should have a better showing today as there is sunshine but we are told that the outfield may be too wet to play!

Not sure what the scheduling will be for today.

 

[MenInG]

Dr. Nauman Riaz saying on TV that first game not likely to happen - 2nd game and onwards is more likely

 

[MenInG]

Bazid Khan and Mohammad Wasim on TV criticizing the quality of the tournament and choice of teams etc

 

[MenInG]

M Wasim & Bazid on TV discussing rumours surrounding the dismissal of Zaka, saying it discredits PCB in front of the world - Do you agree?

 

[Kianig89]

ya the format n icluion of new teams is a poor idea

 

[Asif321]

will get only 1 game today it seems

 

[Madplayer]

dr. Nauman asking again and again and again the same question that why younis isnt in the Odi team. He think younis would do good in world cup in australia where horizontal bat shots are required.

Younis answers that he has always been an advocate of giving chances to the youngsters but says cricket is his bread and butter and if he is fit and performing then he should be in the team.
