Islamabad United beat Lahore Qalandars by five wickets in the opening match of PSL 2019

[Watsupdoc]

Lol it’s only 2 overs and so much drama already!

What the heck was Ronchi doing?

 

[Asif321]

Messy start to psl
Rameez calling Sohail as Rizwan Sohail

 

[Theo_14]

Both teams have played one emerging player. The rest are same old. Very disappointing.

For me PSL is pointless unless teams use lots of rookies/wonderkdis. Very frustrating.

 

[a_tahir]

I think folks need to lower their expectations of the PSL as a vehicle for young talent. Let's be honest, journeymen cricketers have started far more regularly than young talent in the first three editions.

These franchises just seem to pay lip service to blooding youngsters.

They can't just have all pakistani players.

 

[Rana]

The guy needs a new bat

Exactly.

wow youngs beauty four!! by Sohail

 

[Asif321]

Sohail looking another awais Zia

 

[fluke]

I have high hopes on sohail Akhtar and I hope he will shine today

 

[Khan12]

Sohail looking another awais Zia

He's already better then him by playing 2 offside shots.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

I have high hopes on sohail Akhtar and I hope he will shine today

haha.. awais zia type

 

[imshally81]

 

[badsha001]

i hope sohail akhtar does good. he has been unlucky previously in LQ, lets see if he can turn things around this time.

[Hbomb00]

and FOUR epic phainty

 

[asadee]

Sohail luks good

 

[Syed1]

All LQ have to do is get to 120-130 and then leave it to Hussian Talat who will ensure that IU loses.

Patel getting spanked. Good for Zafar.

I love u bro

I see where you are coming from. Thing is, he knows how to score but he needs to work on how quickly he scores those runs and work on his power game. No1 is perfect but at least he know how to hang in there and score runs which not very pakistani players are able to do that.

 

[Goharn]

Waqas Masood us such an ordinary bowler. Can't watch him.

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar looks out of touch

 

[Hbomb00]

Fakhar

 

[saeed5646]

Want to see waqas to be taken to cleaner and see musa in next match

 

[Slim]

They can't just have all pakistani players.

Exactly, these people need to cut their non stop whining. Go watch QEA if you want this to be another domestic tourney.

 

[Hbomb00]

Fakhar still need to work on playing leg side shots

 

[Slim]

Fakhar struggling. If he keeps on doing this, end is nigh. Dont see him post WC.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

balls doesnt get an inch higher than a knee roll and fakhar playing like he was never out of form

 

[Rana]

Good over by Waqas

 

[Greenstorm]

Want to see waqas to be taken to cleaner and see musa in next match

Waqas in an intelligent T20 bowler. Making Sami captain seems like a blunder.

 

[saeed5646]

Have to say islu without misbah is looking not good .he shoud have been with them as a coach

 

[Greenstorm]

Want to see waqas to be taken to cleaner and see musa in next match

[hasanali22]

Sohail Akhtar isnt much but hes certainly looking better than asif ali

 

[saeed5646]

Waqas in an intelligent T20 bowler. Making Sami captain seems like a blunder.

He is laibilty on the field and don.t see he will have long future for pak on the other hand musa is exciting

 

[imshally81]

 

[Markhor]

Bazid does his research as always. Rameez take note.

 

[Rana]

That was huge

 

[Hbomb00]

damn that was huge byFakhar

 

[Markhor]

How can people want Fakhar Zaman dropped from the national side ?

 

[Greenstorm]

balls doesnt get an inch higher than a knee roll and fakhar playing like he was never out of form

Fakhar actually struggled due to low bounce in UAE. It is hard for Asian batsman to score on their first tour of SA.

 

[Slim]

How can people want Fakhar Zaman dropped from the national side ?

 

[Hbomb00]

How can people want Fakhar Zaman dropped from the national side ?

Lol we want him to play better leg side shots as well against pacers

 

[badsha001]

Sohail Akhtar isnt much but hes certainly looking better than asif ali

i would rather see both of them than hafeez and malik in the team

 

[Greenstorm]

How can people want Fakhar Zaman dropped from the national side ?

Can't understand myself.

 

[Asif321]

Faheem is much better opening bowling

 

[Syed1]

Only following score... does Sohail Akhtar look like he has a future?

 

[saabir]

This guy Sohail is killing all the momentum. He need to hit or get out

 

[Syed1]

Rana in the attack.... do or die tourney for him I feel

 

[Syed1]

18(18) while opening and when you are considered a "hitter" does not look very nice.

 

[Hbomb00]

Only following score... does Sohail Akhtar look like he has a future?

No, against pace I don't see him hitting.Another hack I think

 

[Slim]

Difficult to judge hitting capability on PSL - Asif Ali has ruined it for us.

 

[Greenstorm]

Only following score... does Sohail Akhtar look like he has a future?

Asif Ali type batsman.

 

[Goharn]

Batting at 100 SR after playing 15+ balls as opener shouldn't be acceptable at this level.

 

[Shams123]

Sohail akthar looks like a very ordinary batsman though he seems decent against spin.

 

[Slim]

Asif Ali type batsman.

I wouldnt want to be like Asif Ali. He fooled us all.

 

[Shams123]

Psl is a platform for pakistani youth to showcase their talent. It is tragic to see lahore opening with sohail akthar and islamabad making sami the captain.

 

[saeed5646]

Lol rizwan hussain seems to be too much nervous.weird debut so far

 

[imshally81]

[Slim]

Hopefully this match will aid in quenching the thirst of those who were thirsty for high scoring PSL matches.

Its better to have these type of players instead of Malik, Hafeez and Rizwan/Sarfi in T20s.

 

[Rana]

Sohail Misbah v.2

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

i dont understand why shadab all of a sudden trying to be only leg spin bowler.
whoever is guiding him is destroying his careeer.
where are his googlies?

 

[Rana]

Starboy has become a boy recently as a bowler

 

[Hbomb00]

Its better to have these type of players instead of Malik, Hafeez and Rizwan/Sarfi in T20s.

yeah and keep them away from ODI side

 

[a_tahir]

Lol rizwan hussain seems to be too much nervous.weird debut so far

Why wouldn't he be nervous?

 

[Shams123]

This season of psl has greath deficiency of foreign talent.

 

[Markhor]

Shadab getting whacked. His declining form cannot be ignored.

Averages nearly 40 with the ball against top teams in ODIs, and his T20 economy rate has worsened too.

 

[badsha001]

Its better to have these type of players instead of Malik, Hafeez and Rizwan/Sarfi in T20s.

exactly. we need fearless cricketers not experienced mental midgets

 

[Ummii]

Nowadays it is normal for Shadab to get phainty

 

[Shams123]

Really want devilliers next. Please sohail get out!

 

[Greenstorm]

Devicich and Delport are only playing on foreign quota. Young local players should have been preferred.

 

[imshally81]

Sohail isn't that bad.. imo

 

[Shams123]

I dont think fakhar will last long in international cricket. He has terrible technique and quality teams have started working him out.

 

[mak36]

Weird line up from both teams, especially IU.

 

[Rana]

Sohail so similar to Miabah as a hitter

 

[Goharn]

Devicich played really well in the last PSL. Cameron Delport shouldn't be there though.

 

[Slim]

Cmon sohail get out, we want to see ABD.

 

[Shams123]

Wish to see babar play in every powerplay
