What's new

Islamabad United beat Lahore Qalandars by 71 runs in 17th match of PSL 5

This Faizan guy looks a parchi to me

a batting allrounder bowling at one of the most difficult time of the innigs... with oppositon 2 down, and going at 10? i dont think its tht bad

also... for some1 just entering any competative cricket... come on , give him some slcak.

the parchi in this lineup is Salman Butt.. i wont be surprised if he is paying all his qalandar's fees and some to the great Mr Aqib Javiad
 
I want Lahore Qalandars to win but Salman butt to score 0(1).
So his average gets affected.
 
Shinwari has no chance of making it back to the main team. Waqar's fuming is noticeable.
 
Lahore's team is completely non-inspiring. Shaheen and Rauf are both gone for now, and Lynn is passive. And the Pakistani contingent is unknown/lackluster. Absolutely no player to get excited about.
 
I am a bit disappointed he got out. Show-off batting through the innings again would have hampered Islamabad’s chances of batting Lahore out of the game.

I think as of now Munro has done the same.
 
Hope LQ loses tonight and I believe they will.... steyn Vs Hafeez and the Snake Butt LOL
 
Shaheen is saying that he will hopefully recover in 2-3 days and its nothing serious. He was even warming up for the match but than it was decided that ball can hit again in the field so its better to rest him.
 
Can IU defend this? It's LQ, therefore you never know, but this is not UAE and on these tracks under light, I don't think any score below 200 is safe. IU had the chance today to put 220/8 sort of target (not watching, based on scorecard), but they kept their batting order fixed and ended up probably 15 short.
 
If Faizan is chucking to bowl at 100 clicks, he might struggle to get his delivery reach the batsman with a clean action.

Just because LQ scored 200 yesterday doesn't mean they will chase this. Huge loss incoming for LQ. At least by 50 runs if not more.

100 kph is really slow for a professional cricketer.

I’ve seen club cricketers who can crank it up to 130 kph.
 
Steyn came to pakistan looking for Hafeez, just to get himself in rhythm :asif

Lahore Qalandars don't need a target of 200 to lose. They somehow manage to lose from any position but i hope they win today just for the sake of maintaining competition in the tournament.

Didn't observe his speeds carefully but I'm pretty sure he was bowling at more than 100kph.

Anyway, he's a part-timer. Weird captaincy by Sohail Akhtar to bowl him out in back to back games. Though yesterday the match was pretty much over when he was bowling and today the last two overs were forced due to Dilbar's injury.
 
Just realized that the first match between the two sides was also in Lahore.

Looks like the professional duo of Mani and Wasim do not understand the concept of home-away.

Completely idiotic and brain-dead scheduling.

Exact thing I said at the start of this match. Match could have easily been played in Pindi. Lahore is like 35 mins away from Isloo by flight and 3.5 hours by road. Lazy booking it seems.

pot calling the kettle black.
 
i thought faizan is more of a batsman than a bowler..
or are they over trusting him with bowling?
definately not a bowler you give a full quota to

The second one in Pindi was washed out, I think.

Doubt Mani and Wasim have the time to be sitting around formulating PSL schedules.
 
ISLU.

What a brilliant team.

No way LQ is winning today. Zafar Gohar also playing. Wow.

And Butt! :)))

:moha
 
Test match mode by Hafeez and Butt. Butt is trying to run to third man for singles, lol.
 
Now Hafeez will try and get injured for the rest of the PSL so he can get that first plane ticket to Australia.
 
Just when you think Aqib can't do it worse he selects Butt. I have never seen more incompetent person than him
 
"Butt the selfish" is a term associated to him and anyone can see how pathetic thus guy bats for his own scores
 
Butt has to be the most shady crap that's going around our cricket. How on earth has Qalandars picked him is beyond imagination.
 
LQ is a total disaster .. yesterday was a total anomaly based on once in a year type innings

this team is going nowhere but down
