Karachi needs at least 200 with small boundaries and dew in second innings.

[JibranAnsari]

for karachis sake, babar azam should get out early.

 

[Smooth criminal]

Where is Hussain talat????

 

[srh]

Babar playing for Lahore

 

[JibranAnsari]

maiden over. good stuff by irfan.

 

[Adil_94]

garbage by Babar just not a T20 player.

 

[Rayyman]

I am hyped for KK vs IU!



#DhanDhanaDhanHogaRe #KarachiJeeteGa #DilonKeBadshah

 

[srh]

Babar as T20I opener is recipe of disaster

 

[super hitter]

lol, babar you beauty, just get out asap man, you are an embarrassment iin t-20's

 

[badsha001]

Some sledging by Islambad players, baber yeh test match nahin hai...

 

[dauntless]

Good start by irfan

 

[Hawkeye]

hahhahahhahah

BABAR!

 

[dauntless]

Sami bowling good

 

[srh]

Babar as opener will bring Pakistan's T20I demise in no time

 

[Naim]

Kings are playing a test match

 

[dauntless]

Sami to get wicket of gayle

 

[srh]

Babar as opener is almost as bad as Sarfraz as hitter for Pakistan's T20I team

 

[super hitter]

9 bowls no rusn

 

[shariqnoor]

Misbah fielding two emerging players in a knockout game. Misbah haters who label him oldies supporter will be having nightmares over this.

 

[JibranAnsari]

couple of wickets would be awesome now

 

[super hitter]

I'm off, what a stupid one sided match! BYE BYE

 

[Adil_94]

A great start to the Test match here at Lords a little bit of early swing on offer but the openers are leaving well and defending solidly.

 

[dauntless]

wow what a test match going on

 

[cricketerB94]

Lol. 2 successive maidens.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Talat's injured?

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=141811]shariqnoor[/MENTION] hes probably done that to give them experience for a potential final because Watson and Haddin wont be travelling to Pakistan.

 

[ExpressPacer]

LOOLL GO Islamabad!! 2 maidens on the trot!

 

[Hamza_]

It's fuming time Mickey

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What is going on?

I am hoping Boring United is knocked out.

 

[MMHS]

Babar as opener will bring Pakistan's T20I demise in no time

Does happen sometimes - Gayle has gone for 6 dots as well, & he hasn't brought too many demise to his T20 teams around the globe.

 

[dauntless]

Shukar ae rabba

 

[Asif321]

oh record by Kings

 

[srh]

the last ball to Gayle was not wide?

 

[srh]

Does happen sometimes - Gayle has gone for 6 dots as well, & he hasn't brought too many demise to his T20 teams around the globe.

Gayle can catch up in no time; Babar cant

 

[dauntless]

Wow some good batting by Babar

 

[Hamza_]

Gayle can catch up in no time; Babar cant

Really?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Gayle can catch up in no time; Babar cant

Seems like you've been proven wrong.

 

[Madplayer]

4 fours in a row by babar. Tremendous batting. Breath taking shots.

 

[MMHS]

Gayle can catch up in no time; Babar cant

His SR is now 145 after 11 balls - 1st 7 dots. Judging a players needs to be slower that T20 cricket

 

[Rayyman]

Babar playing for Lahore

garbage by Babar just not a T20 player.

Babar as T20I opener is recipe of disaster

lol, babar you beauty, just get out asap man, you are an embarrassment iin t-20's

Talk nah. Wrist slitters.
#smh

 

[imranraf]

cricketgateway feed is horrible for me today. Too much buffering. Anyone else with the same issue?

 

[Madplayer]

Not out gayle

 

[srh]

Really?

Seems like you've been proven wrong.

Babar cannot match exploits of Gayle. I thought this is understood

 

[cricketerB94]

Gayle can catch up in no time; Babar cant

hahah... On your face by Babar...

 

[Hamza_]

Babar cannot match exploits of Gayle. I thought this is understood

In terms of SR he is going better

 

[Madplayer]

Babar as opener is almost as bad as Sarfraz as hitter for Pakistan's T20I team

Bro no offence but babar has owned you in 4 balls.

 

[srh]

In terms of SR he is going better

yes rare things do happen some times

 

[Hamza_]

Babar is in mood.

 

[Madplayer]

Babar on 22(14) 5 fours.

 

[MMHS]

Babar cannot match exploits of Gayle. I thought this is understood

Hardly anyone can, but not everyone brings demise the ........ the point it you talked too early. Just relax & watch the game - a tremendous touch player,who is improving in every match.

 

[Rayyman]

Another for Azam.

 

[dauntless]

Babar looking good now

 

[Hamza_]

Rumman Raees needs to crank it up.

 

[Rayyman]

Hardly anyone can, but not everyone brings demise the ........ the point it you talked too early. Just relax & watch the game - a tremendous touch player,who is improving in every match.

Do you think Azam should open in LOIs like Sachin did? Or should he follow Root/Kohli route?

 

[Madplayer]

Babar in killer mood today. Strike of 150 after having played a maiden. Lmao

 

[Madplayer]

Do you think Adam should open in LOIs like Sachin did? Or should he follow Root/Kohli route?

Why bring sachin and kohli into this question? Could have put it across without mentioning them.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar too good. Gayle needs to fire here

 

[srh]

Hardly anyone can, but not everyone brings demise the ........ the point it you talked too early. Just relax & watch the game - a tremendous touch player,who is improving in every match.

I just dont like Babar as an opener. I want someone more explosive as an opener like Sharjeel

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hardly anyone can, but not everyone brings demise the ........ the point it you talked too early. Just relax & watch the game - a tremendous touch player,who is improving in every match.

Pakistani fans are clueless. Babar is comfortably our best bat. He's gonna become a beast in this format too

 

[super hitter]

Talk nah. Wrist slitters.
#smh

even if KK score a 200 now, they've lost the game, we need at least a maiden when bowling to win the game...u just can't imagine 12 bowls dotted straightaway in a t-20

 

[Madplayer]

First 2 overs zero runs

Next 2 overs 29 runs.

 

[MMHS]

Do you think Azam should open in LOIs like Sachin did? Or should he follow Root/Kohli route?

3 is better, PAK don't have the No. 3 to replace him. Ahmed might serve the openers slot, while may be Sharjeel will get away with fines or few matches - don't think technically ICC can ban him for inconclusive evidence in a T20 league.

 

[Rayyman]

The game is 40 overs not 2. Lol.
