It will be an atrocity if Akmal is picked for the national team after his egregious PSL.

Did Gayle do badly ? He usually kills in the IPL

Yes he did do poorly. Mainly because he was versing above average bowlers and not the trundlers/pie-chuckers in IPL.

Really ? Can you quickly list the Above average bowlers in PSL vs pie chuckers in IPL , quite curious now

[Varun]

Why does anybody bother with Ravi Bopara?

The serial failure of international cricket is now the serial failure in T20 league cricket.

Tbh in pak there are more bowlers who can walk into the national team as a pacer or spinner but they cant as they were sidelined for various reasons... having been said that they also get carted when they are learnt how to play by the opposition, i mean their variations being decoded (not ajmal the chucka)...in fact gayle carted ajmal for 3 sixers on the role and he started to do old trick of chucking for the next 3 and got him out in the sixth ball of the over lol..... so gayle cant set his slog sight as target against any mediocre bowler or bowling lineup was the major difference.....

Its not easy to hit in UAE like you can on Indian roads.

I remember Gayle launching into Indian leggies and offies. Indian tracks are highways. Gayle can simply hit through the line without the fear of mistiming it or getting bowled by the turn.

Its not just Gayle. When you play in UAE, you have to be smart when hitting big shots. That is exactly why all the big hitters from overseas failed.

Bopara was the MVP of 1st edition of PSL.

Quite possible , don't think it was the quality of bowling that he was facing.

Correct me if im wrong but didnt gayle also struggle last IPL?

 

[bleaf27]

Quite possible , I didn't follow it closely but overall he does quite decently , seen him play some crazy knocks

 

[Syed1]

Anybody who is putting Ifti in their side is just a blind hater with no eye for talent

4. Asif Ali
5. Brendon McCullum
6. Maqsood

You're delusional if you think Shehzad had a bad PSL.

 

[Saj]

The serial failure of international cricket is now the serial failure in T20 league cricket.

He was one of the top players in the first PSL.

Think he got a bit underutilised this season to start off with to be fair! 329 runs @ 54.83 and 11 wickets @ 13.81 (econ 6.90) last season including man of the tournament and he ends up batting at 6 and barely getting a chance to bowl (less than an over per match on average) this season? Doesn't seem quite right.

Doesn't seem quite right.

He was batting at 5 and got plenty of opportunities due to Karachi's terrible top order. Barely played an innings of note.

I was surprised at the lack of overs as Karachi were playing some lesser bowlers earlier in the tournament but they did introduce more specialists later on.

Why is Misbah missing from every team?

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Suprised no mention of Misbah

 

[Indiafan]

Yes he did do poorly. Mainly because he was versing above average bowlers and not the trundlers/pie-chuckers in IPL.

You seem to have a extremely, extremely big inferiority complex and this coming from a guy whose country's fastest bowler is Sami. Yadav and Sami can wipe te floor with any of your bowlers. In every PSL match I saw the same inane comment. Also, Gayle is flop half the time in IPL and clicks once or twice. But dont let facts get in your way please

[LordJames]

I am surprised that Umar Akmal is escaping the Flop lists. Surely he was a flop.
