[Asad T]

I wanted to see Momin Qamar play. Hope he get's a chance this tourament

 

[RyanRyan10]

Is 50 years old Asif Afridi 1 among 33? @Rana

 

[Asad T]

Fakhar coming down to Naseem 2nd ball
love it
take him to the cleaners mate

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Very young. Can play for 4-5 years at least.

Past it for internationals unless he creates some magic which is unlikely, but happy if he gets a bit of a payday. If he has decent PSL, and he could pick up a gig in LPL, BPL, Abu Dhabi t10 etc, even 70-80k usd could sort him out for retirement

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Too much red. It's horrible.

 

[Asad T]

Also, so glad to see Shaibzada playing for IU today
he deserves to play for the best team

 

[Asad T]

Too much red. It's horrible.

Lahore should have stuck with green

[Nikhil_cric]

This Naeem is 26 and today is his domestic debut across formats ?

 

[Rana]

Rubbish start for Lahore

 

[mominsaigol]

And Ive already told you . Unless you are using VPN, it's probably because PSL digital rights haven't been sold in Australia.

That's not the case in India

And I've already told you, LET ME KIDNAP YOU

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

LQ have a reputation of bringing in players from non-traditional backgrounds.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Another Qalandar talent hunt product like Sohail Akhtar, Haris Rauf, Dilbar Hussain etc.?

 

[Omer2002]

oh dear the tulllar fakhar goes...clearly there is some pace in the wicket mindless slogging wont work

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Too much red. It's horrible.

Tbh both of Lahore's kits suck.

 

[mominsaigol]

And I've already told you, LET ME KIDNAP YOU

Jokes aside @Nikhil_cric Ik and thanks for informing me, I was trolling earlier. I view you as an elder bro.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tbh both of Lahore's kits suck.

But having both teams play in that light shade red is an eyesore.

 

[zarak]

As always you dont have an answer. Is that what you did during school exams? Filling in a pack of nonsense in the answer sheets hoping the examiner doesnt read your kachra and give you a pass considering your word count.

maybe she new what he will do to batters

 

[Rana]

Naeem was looking unstoppable in nets

Guy can’t get bat on ball atm

 

[mominsaigol]

Naeem was looking unstoppable in nets

Guy can’t get bat on ball atm

Even rizwan looks unstoppable in nets?

 

[Omer2002]

Even rizwan looks unstoppable in nets?

Hahahhahaha good one love it

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Picking bowlers like that is fine I guess . Not sure about batters .

 

[zarak]

I wish Naseem was doing all of this with 8km more

 

[cricfan432]

Shot by naeem

 

[zarak]

Picking bowlers like that is fine I guess . Not sure about batters .

every PSL this happens young batter given chance to open. fluffs it and then teams go to overseas

 

[Rana]

Even rizwan looks unstoppable in nets?

Yes it’s a twwwwwoooo

 

[Rana]

LQ is underway thanks to Naseem Shah

 

[Rana]

Cracking drives by Shafique

 

[Greenstorm]

Naeem has the physique of a modern day T20I opener. Lets see if he has talent and technique.

 

[zarak]

I thought Meridith was faster seems slow

 

[RyanRyan10]

Picking bowlers like that is fine I guess . Not sure about batters .

Sohail Akhtar, Mirza Baig were batters

 

[Rana]

Naeem has the physique of a modern day T20I opener. Lets see if he has talent and technique.

Looks weak outside off so far.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Abdullah Shafique is such a weirdo. He can look a million dollars and an absolute fool in the same innings.

Not many players like him.

 

[Greenstorm]

Shafique plays very differently in PSL as compared to internationals.

 

[followed]

Lol chinese technique shafique is turning into bradman on this road.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sohail Akhtar, Mirza Baig were batters

And they are pretty much nobodies

 

[cricfan432]

Jason seamer in, might get shafique

 

[Rana]

Looks like a legwan does Naeem.

 

[followed]

Naeem looks like a proper tennis ball batter. Playing Everything on the legside.

 

[followed]

Lol he looked terrible. Thanks for coming naeem

 

[cricfan432]

Naeem looks like a proper tennis ball batter. Playing Everything on the legside.

Another tepiya by qalandars. I think technique for hard ball is different. No tepiya can survive hard ball

 

[Greenstorm]

Here comes tuk tuk.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Feel for Naeem, he has no business playing at this level.

 

[khyberlion]

That's what happens when you pick someone from a street.

Chinese technique abdullah has fire in his eyes today.

 

[Asad T]

Abdullah Maxwell 18* (10)

 

[followed]

Daryl Mitchell should be nowhere near a T20 side.

 

[Barragan]

This naeem guy is whack

 

[Greenstorm]

Ronaldo from daraz is here as well.

 

[followed]

Imad is in with his inswing bowling. He must be thinking about cigarette while bowling.

 

[cricfan432]

Kusal Perera is better than Mitchell on Pakistani pitches

 

[Greenstorm]

Mitchell is no Van Dussen. Qalandars batting relies a lot on Fakhar.

 

[BakuGM]

Lol he looked terrible. Thanks for coming naeem

There are 20 batters better than this guy.... How does he get into a PSL team?????

 

[BakuGM]

There are 20 batters better than this guy.... How does he get into a PSL team?????

And I meant 20 Opening batsman in Pakistan are better than Naeem

 

[Ahmed216]

Is Jahanzeb Sultan part of this tournament?

 

[BakuGM]

Is Jahanzeb Sultan part of this tournament?

Unfortunately NO but this Naeem guy is........

 

[Rana]

Beautiful bowling maddy

 

[Ahmed216]

Unfortunately NO but this Naeem guy is........

Shame!
Naeem looked like he had no clue. Let's see how he does in games ahead.

 

[Rana]

This Naeem guy is the one to watch.

Tu rehnde!

 

[BakuGM]

Shame!
Naeem looked like he had no clue. Let's see how he does in games ahead.

I am not sure if Qalandars will be playing him again

 

[Asad T]

And I meant 20 Opening batsman in Pakistan are better than Naeem

and he literally has 0 domestic expirence

 

[Asad T]

Half tracker from Shadab first ball
If Shafique can dispatch him for a 6, then anyone can

 

[followed]

Abdullah chinese technique shafique is looking good.

 

[cricfan432]

Cant play spin these foreigners

 

[Darkrai]

Shadab needs a good PSL….starts with a short stuff yet again

 

[Darkrai]

Cant play spin these foreigners

Tell that to Aqib and selectors

 

[Asad T]

I honestly have this expression when Shadab doesn't bowl a half tracker

 

[followed]

Sikandar raza has a job to do now.
He is aged and probably at the back end of his career now though.

 

[BakuGM]

Billings should have deposited that ball for six.....

 

[Asad T]

Sikandar raza has a job to do now.
He is aged and probably at the back end of his career now though.

Luckily for LQ, he's getting better with age

 

[cricfan432]

Shafique can partner Saim atleast in odi the way hes playing. Better than Imam.

 

[Asad T]

Beautiful bowling maddy

The beef between Imad-Babar set us back so much

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Love it when Shafiq is in full swing

 

[jamie smith fan]

Brilliant batting from shafique.

 

[Asad T]

Shafique can partner Saim atleast in odi the way hes playing. Better than Imam.

Shafique needs to prove that this isn't a flash-in-the-pan performance. More often than not, he is even slower than Imam in ODI's

 

[jamie smith fan]

Lq batting looks very fragile this season.

 

[cricfan432]

Shafique is alright player for subcontinent pitches

 

[Greenstorm]

Shafique can partner Saim atleast in odi the way hes playing. Better than Imam.

He plays defensively in internationals and those bowlers expose his technique. Still better than Imam on flat subcontinent wickets. Should have been in CT.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Shafique needs to prove that this isn't a flash-in-the-pan performance. More often than not, he is even slower than Imam in ODI's

We saw how mediocre he was on nz tour.
