Islamabad United v Karachi Kings | PSL 2 | Eliminator | Sharjah | Mar 1, 2017 | Match Thread

[BleedGreen]

He knows how to play the game. Act like a prima donna with pretty hair and all of Pakistan will think you are 'attacking' and 'talented'. Easy way to guarantee you stay hyped and stay in the minds of selectors and the media.

He can't even handle a good hairstyle. His hair's usually all over the place and he looks lazy. Nothing of the prima donna sort.

 

[super hitter]

Eventually, Babar's innings proved to be the best of the innings by some margin- may be the wicket isn't that easy.

YES!

he set the tone for the rest to duck the bowl with UTTER PERFECTION

 

[Belawal2014]

How tall is Rumman Raees?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

He's been Karachi's highest run scorer.

Highest run scorer in the PSL I think

 

[BleedGreen]

lets be honest here. He scored runs against eng in eng during odis. Bowled well in that only t20 against eng. Bowled well against aus initially. Then some catches got dropped during his bowling in one odi...where he later on got tonked.

Hasan Ali and Amir are not going anywhere, there are 3 spots for bowlers in odis. Shadab, imad and a thrid pacer is all we needed. When we get a better option in place of imad wasim then we can drop him. Till lets keep playing imad wasim.

Hasan Ali, Amir, Shadab, Rumman, Wahab

 

[Runner Up]

Last 6 wickets 26 runs.

 

[super hitter]

It wasn't Babars fault. He played the best knock. I hope Babar doesn't stay in this boring team next season. Lahore need him to be their number 3. Babar is by far the most dynamic batsman in this one dimensional team

his dynamics is restricted till ODI's, wasting himself in these leagues

Babar, Azhar, Shafiq should stay away from t-20's

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar, Azhar, Shafiq should stay away from t-20's

Babar will become our best t20 batsman. The other 2 don't even belong in ODIs so stop putting them in the same league. Pakistani fans are just clueless.

 

[Barragan]

I just want to see some quality swing bowling from Amir and Sohail

 

[MMHS]

Talat is injured or too young for such a high profile knock out match?

 

[Belawal2014]

Talat is injured or too young for such a high profile knock out match?

I'm sure they would've went with Talat instead of Asif Ali if he was fit.

 

[Barragan]

Too wide

 

[Asif321]

sarfraz should have been captain of karachi

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Amir ball not swinging....he just come around the wicket...such a defensive bowler

 

[srh]

Asif Ali has very bad FC and List A numbers

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=100918]Square Drive[/MENTION], are you awake bro?

 

[Barragan]

Sinwari?

Sohail is the leading wicket taker and can move the new ball

 

[Hasan123]

Sanga is a awful captain.

 

[Mamoon]

Two mediocre left-armers bowling in tandem. What a sight.

 

[Indiafan]

Amir and Sohail are the only hope for Karachi

Har baar log Amir par hope rakhte hai. Weird

 

[srh]

Karachi badly missed Shahzaib Khan; was he injured?

 

[static]

Talat is injured or too young for such a high profile knock out match?

injured, wasim akram said in the interview during the innings

 

[Hasan123]

Sohail Khan needs to be introduced into the attack asap

 

[Barragan]

141 from Shinwari

He does have a bit of pace

 

[The_KING]

I just want to see some quality swing bowling from Amir and Sohail

You won't get any from overrated Amir.

 

[zacattakk]

The commentators desperately trying to hype up Asif Ali. Mel Jones: Asif Ali scored a hundred in a domestic T20 back in 2012 so hes carrying good form in this format!?!? Seriously did she just say that?

 

[world cup captain]

This is a reasonably good approach from IU, but need to look for rotation of strike whenever possible.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on DR see us home.

 

[Barragan]

You won't get any from overrated Amir.

He may not pick up wickets, but that doesn't mean he can't swing the ball

Swung it a lot in the first game

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Amir has been the fastest bowler this PSL.

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Amir get undesrved wicket

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a catch!!!

 

[Hasan123]

Unreal catch from Sangakara

 

[Mamoon]

What a grab.

 

[Big Mac]

What a catch

lets be honest here. He scored runs against eng in eng during odis. Bowled well in that only t20 against eng. Bowled well against aus initially. Then some catches got dropped during his bowling in one odi...where he later on got tonked.

Hasan Ali and Amir are not going anywhere, there are 3 spots for bowlers in odis. Shadab, imad and a thrid pacer is all we needed. When we get a better option in place of imad wasim then we can drop him. Till lets keep playing imad wasim.

I don't think he's bad, he's just thoroughly mediocre. Type of player who can carve out a niche in T20s but won't make the grade at test level.

 

[Syed1]

Two mediocre left-armers bowling in tandem. What a sight.

Thanks for your support. Geeli papi by Amir to you

 

[world cup captain]

You won't get any from overrated Amir.

The over rated strikes...

Come on DR see us home.

Like I said before, Smith won't score.

 

[ExpressPacer]

That was plucked right out of the air. Best catch by a wicket keeper I have seen in my entire life.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir get undesrved wicket

He's bowled well with no swing on offer. But clueless Pakistani fans obviously wouldn't realize that

 

[Sam18696]

Amazing

 

[ExpressPacer]

Amir has been the fastest bowler this PSL.

Mohammad Sami. Bowled at 150.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What a catch. What a caaaaaaaaaaatch. Best of PSL.

 

[Hasan123]

Finally some luck for Amir!

 

[Belawal2014]

Bomb threat at my uni. Classes cancelled today. Wasn't planning on going today anyways.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Mohammad Sami. Bowled at 150.

He didn't. Amir actually bowled at 150 two games before and he's been consistently around 145.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sanga needs to have his name on the wickets column there for this one. No way in hell was this suppose to be a wicket had anyone else been in his place.

 

[srh]

Sanga still so good

 

[Barragan]

That is better than Sammy's

Bishop has to change his name

 

[Syed1]

Mohammad Sami. Bowled at 150.

Bowling one ball at a certain pace doesn't make you the fastest overall. That comes from average speed. If you want to say who bowled fastest ball of tournament then that is Sami

 

[ExpressPacer]

He didn't. Amir actually bowled at 150 two games before and he's been consistently around 145.

He did actually. 149.5.

 

[Hasan123]

Let's not panic now lads, we got this game. #Unitedwewin

 

[super hitter]

amirrrrr

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant over. Amir gets another!! Bring Sohail on now

 

[ExpressPacer]

Bowling one ball at a certain pace doesn't make you the fastest overall. That comes from average speed. If you want to say who bowled fastest ball of tournament then that is Sami

Exactly. However, his average speed is right up there too. Don't know the exact stats but bowling in the 140's consistently is Sami.

 

[Pakpak]

Amir haters

 

[Muhammad10]

Har baar log Amir par hope rakhte hai. Weird

Kya bol rahe thay?

 

[saeed5646]

Har baar log Amir par hope rakhte hai. Weird

lol Answer mil gya ?? 2 wickets in three ball

 

[Barragan]

Another one for Amir

 

[Syed1]

Sanga needs to have his name on the wickets column there for this one. No way in hell was this suppose to be a wicket had anyone else been in his place.

Yeh DR was facing a bowling machine and just edged it for giggles

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Yes Another one goes

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Big game player.

 

[Syed1]

Another geeli pappi to all haters.





Talk nah???????????????

 

[Big Mac]

Islamabad choking

Poor Misbah gonna come out to bat at 15/3 in a knockout game and think "Why does this keep happening to me?"

 

[saeed5646]

Amir haters

would love see their face when amir take wicket

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Brilliant over. Amir gets another!! Bring Sohail on now

There's no need. Usman is the better option. Sohail bowls too many pies.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Get a slip in for Sohail to the right handlers

 

[Syed1]

Shaba Misbah do what you do best.


Lose the match for your side in a knockout game.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

There's no need. Usman is the better option. Sohail bowls too many pies.

Sohail gets wickets though

 

[Barragan]

Nice in dip from Sohail

 

[Mamoon]

I want to face Karachi. Islamabad is our bogey team.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This guy looks a leg side dominant player. Bowl a 5th stump line

 

[Sam18696]

Come on KK. Misbah ko out karo!!

 

[MMHS]

KK needs to bowl out Amir is 1st spell, they are not going to defend 126 unless it's 50/5

 

[Syed1]

Karachi Karachi chants...



Is halqay ko halka nahi lehna

 

[Hasan123]

Need to rotate the strike here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I thought Karachi fans were the worst. Now I want Karachi to win because of Babar and Amir. These Islamabad fans are pathetic on another level

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Karachi would want Misbah out there for as long as possible.

 

[Big Mac]

That's a dumb shot from Asif, really lucky that landed safe.

 

[Pakpak]

I thought Karachi fans were the worst. Now I want Karachi to win because of Babar and Amir. These Islamabad fans are pathetic on another level

You've noticed it as well. I support Lahore but want Islamabad to lose. Their Misbah fans make this decision very easy.

 

[Syed1]

Asif Ali has garbage domestic numbers..



Yar Amir
