[AssassinatedDevil]

The Pakistan Cup starts today. Who do you guys think will win the cup?

 

[shaaik]

So no live telecast on ptv this time ..

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

Match starts 2:30 pm PST

 

[shahan91]

where is hussain talat

 

[Abdullah719]

where is hussain talat

Federal Areas.

 

[Shafi]

Only 5 teams with significant number of TTFs?????/

 

[Shafi]

Playing with less teams will actually harm us because TTFs are undroppable and promising young players will loose the most.

 

[rizwanak]

Shaheen afridi playing

 

[pakistani pride]

Aaahhh I see the BLOCKER is @ work again. Mighty SR of 60.

Shaba...

 

[ataullah]

Bismillah khan striking at 112. Hope he scores 3 figures as he is a good wicket keeping option

 

[zacattakk]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] what is your opinion on 21 year old Muhammad imran today? Looks a good fast bowler

 

[DeadBall]

Century for Bismillah Khan, Shezzie on way to a century too, on 81.

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] what is your opinion on 21 year old Muhammad imran today? Looks a good fast bowler

I’ll have to watch him.

 

[MMHS]

By the way, I don’t see any M Imran in the Punjab squad listed above, but CI says he is playing!!!!

 

[Kazim_Pak86]

Belter of a pitch...great batting by Balochistan. Well played to the Quetta boy Bismillah Khan who socred a ton. Ramiz Raja Jr-Nawaz are batting with Balochistan reaching 250 with just 3 wicket lost.

 

[DeadBall]

Shehzad run out on 95.

 

[letme alone]

By the way, I don’t see any M Imran in the Punjab squad listed above, but CI says he is playing!!!!

wahab is not playing due to injury. so he is playing instead

 

[DRsohail]

ALL TTF playing and ramiz raja junior performing shows the standard.

 

[Kazim_Pak86]

365 is nice total but the fielding side deserved 380+. Ramiz Raja Jr. was dropped at 46, a very casual attempt.
This was'nt as great a pitch, as Shoaib Malik captaincy made it. Bowlers looked totally demotivated. I missed a yelling Sarfaraz who tries to push sense in the bowlers when they are not bowling according to plan.
Nawaz-Ramiz scoring in last 5 overs did'nt go far enough. They were content in scoring less than 15 runs per over. An international team would've posted 400 on this pitch easily.

 

[GreenShirts]

Caught a few overs of the action,pitch is a belter.

 

[DRsohail]

only wanna watch Sahibzada and shahin shah.

 

[Khan12]

Sahibzada looking good but needs to stop crouching too much.

 

[Khan12]

only wanna watch Sahibzada and shahin shah.

Shaheen will bowl after Anwar ,Gul, tanvir etc lol

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Coverage is horrible,as usual.

PTV are horrible overall.PCB needs to give domestic cricket production rights to Ten Sports.Even Geo Super is better.

 

[Khan12]

PTV are horrible overall.PCB needs to give domestic cricket production rights to Ten Sports.Even Geo Super is better.

I know they should at least we will get some good coverage. plus with ptv isthe torture of listening to chisti.

 

[ataullah]

How did shaheen bowl his 2 overs?

 

[Greenstorm]

How did shaheen bowl his 2 overs?

Looked good. Was beating batsmen for pace.

 

[ataullah]

Looked good. Was beating batsmen for pace.

pace is pace yaar

 

[Greenstorm]

������ pace is pace yaar

Yes. Pace is even more important on these kind of ultra flat pitches.

 

[MenInG]

Sahibzada Farhan 100!

 

[Khan12]

150 for sahibzada Farhan.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Wow trundler Tanvir and Anwar hiding and throwing a youngster in the deep sea.

Lol.

Had they had choice even trundler Gul would be hiding.

 

[mirza105]

was thinking same

 

[mirza105]

legend Anwar and legend tanver no where to be seen

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

legend Anwar and legend tanver no where to be seen

They don't understand, that they won't be picked how much ever good they do. (It's a different thing that they won't even perform).

Whereas it's a good learning for Afridi to build his temper in these situations.

And he's got a wicket.

 

[ataullah]

Shaheen best quickie today on flattest of wickets. Out bowled tanvir and gul.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good batting by Rizwan

 

[DRsohail]

only Shahin and sahibzada to look for.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Poor Shaheen bowling to Malik the beast and the best batsman from both sides.

And Tanvir and Anwar hiding. Lol

 

[ataullah]

Poor Shaheen bowling to Malik the beast and the best batsman from both sides.

And Tanvir and Anwar hiding. Lol

Then they cry when pak dont pick them lol

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Oh my goodness! This is next level

Trundler Tanvir and Trundler Anwar hiding, and bowling a spinner to MALIK of all people at the death.

This shows how selfish they are, they can afford to lose the match but not spoil their stats.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Any scorecard please

 

[Kazim_Pak86]

Just incredible, 731 runs in 98.5 overs.

Like to mention, out of the 98.5 overs Rizwan remained on the field as a keeper and batted for 84 overs. Wicketkeeper of the rival team, Bismillah Khan almost 76 overs. Farhan also fielded and batted for 96 overs. Rizwan has amazing fitness he was still running 2s in the last few overs also, this is never easy as a side you have fielded and then have to chase.

Farhan has zero footwork but is a formidable opening batsman. The way he played even 450 target looks gettable. He punished the spinners and played scoring shots when required. Balochistan field placements and fielding was pretty poor. They gave up on the wicket and remained defensive spreading out the field to allow batsman to take singles to tire themselves out to give them a wicket. Apart from Shaheen and Gul for a part of the spell there was'nt much about the bowling. Irfan Jr. was spinning the bowl but he went for plenty of runs.

Balochistan captain Shehzad kept the mid on up and helped Punjab batsmen to rotate strike. They took lot of singles in that region. Fielding was even more horrendous. Seeing the batsmen tired they still remained lethargic slow to attend the bowl. This pitch has nothing for the bowlers, expecting even bigger totals on this surface.

Is sadaf worth hype?

Maqsood batting without helmet against him.

 

[MMHS]

Bro [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION], I demand a full 50 minutes video of every ball bowled by Sadaf in this game

No cut piece - 10 overs, from the time Captain hands him the ball at the start of over, to the last ball of the over when it finally comes back to umpire; 10 times. It's a life time opportunity to watch the most discussed upon Non International cricketer of history of PP........

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Brilliant over from Sadaf, he just bowled a maiden & almost got the wicket of Hussain Talat. He is certainly the best bowler so far in this innings.

 

[saeed5646]

Sadaf is poor version of rahat ali his body language is very poor and bowling in late 120s .he is nothing specail .i think we have alot of better bowler than him in pakistan team

 

[Khan12]

Said shakeel is decent for a part timer.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Lol M.Wasim smoking in the background in the Comms box )

 

[Kazim_Pak86]

Sohaib Maqsood is an incredible talent but a lousy runner, really wished he had improved his fitness and behaviour. Still remember he refused captain Azhar Ali to stand close to batsman for a catching position and Azhar had to replace him, himself.

A behemoth talent who hits mostly in the air and out of the ground yet thesenon-cricketing issues has impaired his progress.

Doing well right now with Tallat, but he won't be running many 2s.

Wrong info. This so called situation happened during WC 2015 QF VS AUS but Misbah later said it was a false story.

Stop spreading lies....

 

[Arham_PakFan]

50 for Saad Nasim

Smashed for six

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sadaf gets another wicket!

Never mind. It is first instance when I have watched him bowl. overs, 46 and 48 and 50th.

Don't know how good a young Sadaf was, current Sadaf reminds me of a very tired Alan Mullally.
