Heart goes out to Shaheen Shah Afridi

[Slim]

One got to feel for SSA, stuck in a team filled with bunch of mediocres and a nobodoy captain with an inept management.

He literally alone carries the bowling and has to face the disappointment when the rest cannot deliver. Sorry, champ.

I hope LQ's owner finally gets something between his head and fixes the team for next year with a proper professional management or just sell the team. Enough is enough.

I am all for his 100 commitment but today he was putting too much effort on his body .He should carefully handle himself otherwise serious injury won't be far.

He is must for pakistan test series against england i don't want him to miss it by putting extra effort on meaningless t20 matches

 

[Khan12]

Feel for him to be playing with clowns like sohail, Samit,vilas etc.

 

[trickyone]

I saw literally 5 players were captaining the side, tells you how good LQ management is

 

[Sycamore]

Just worried he is over doing it for a meaningless tournament. Save it for the world t20 Shaheen.

 

[aloo paratha]

Feel for him. He has always put in good performances but ends up on the losing side due to the crappy Lahore team.

 

[Asif321]

No idea how this vilas and david Weise keep coming into team
On what basis Sohail is captain?

Yeah, i was concerned as well but hes passionate and gives more than 100% to whatever team he is playing. LQ made a non international player as captain and Shaheen is super professional about it and giving his best.

Exactly, Shaheen is Pakistan #1 bowler in Tests and ODI whom we should not over bowl especially in useless T-20. This is even more true as he plays for Qalandars who have no chance in qualifying in the tournament so he should cut down his work....

David Weise looks proper club level. Even i would smash him for six sixes in an over. LQ always end up one or two marquee signings and then rest of them are mostly clown selections.

 

[last_knight]

If LQ are serious about PSL, SSA should be their Captain in next Match.

 

[reversehook]

sohail akhtar looked like a confused goat in the last over. almost all the teams got pathetic captains in this season. . maybe an inside joke on who picks the worst skipper...

 

[Saj]

He was badly let down by Wiese, Rauf and Shinwari. Between them they bowled 11.5 overs for 120 runs.

Don't you dare they are international world class players. They have to win hence picking these players.

Rofl HAris Rauf (2-41) was given best bowler of the match award above Shaheen (4-18), seems PCB adjudicators have also lost their mind.

What in the world? I can understand Shadab getting it over Shaheen but Rauf makes no sense whatsoever, he was very poor today

 

[Hasan123]

Special special bowler. I really hope PCB protect and manage him correctly.

Feel bad for the kid..... Can't believe LQ management still has dehati Aaquib Javed as coach despite 4 years of coming last. Heck teams like QG, IU and PZ who have had far more success have been proactive in changing their management. Here LQ have stuck with the same no-hoppers for the last 5 years. Seeing LQ lose brings me joy, but I don't want the talent of folks like Shaheen, Rauf and Fakhar to be wasted.

Just like playing for the national team then.

Babar is a nobody captain? :/

 

[DRsohail]

Syed1 no comment about useless and brainless Shinwari??/ am supporting KK this year as this garbage is not there.

 

[Forum363]

I feel like Shaheen is the kind of bowler to use every situation to help him grow.

This will be a good experience, hitting his prime at a young age but being stuck in a mediocre team. He will be taking a lot of pressure and expectations with little support.

The passion he displayed today was phenomenal. Diving around in the closing stages of the game. He seemed to be everywhere.

Rauf is overrated
Fakhar has been found out

Only Shaheen is suffering

 

[shamaan]

Different class to everyone else at only 19 hes only going to get better

 

[Ahson8]

One of the best T20 bowling spells, shame it came in a loss for him. As some one else here said, I hope he doesnt overexert himself here, he is an important asset and needs to be managed carefully.
