Lahore Qalandars won the toss and opted to field.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Lahore should win this now if they wanna survive.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Fakhar to score a 100 and Umar Akmal to fail after scoring 10 or so

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Freaking Elliot back.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Yamin has to bat at 5 if he's going to play otherwise a pointless selection.

 

[Sub-Zero]

we need guys like Amad Butt in the squad, he is very fit

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Is Elliot playing? I hope he's not playing

Fully agree.

 

[DRsohail]

he is playing..good news is that amir yamin is playing..

 

[Pakistani Pace]

he is playing..good news is that amir yamin is playing..

What's yamin like? Haven't really seen him play before,

 

[Sam18696]

What a crowd MashAllah

 

[Abdullah]

Yamin has to bat at 5 if he's going to play otherwise a pointless selection.

number 8 is my guess. after narine!

 

[DRsohail]

What's yamin like? Haven't really seen him play before,

he is a bowler who can bowl at 133kph....a good hitter of the ball technically sound...one of the best seam all rounder from pak atm....

 

[cricketerB94]

Not backing Lahore anymore. Why Elliot after a number of bad performances?

 

[Amirforpresident]

Really hope Mccullum Lets Yamin bowl with the new ball.
I remember how he got Roy on the first ball of the match.

 

[Speedster777]

Is Ghulam Mudassar playing?

 

[Speedster777]

TTF Tanvir and trundler Irfan playing again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Is Ghulam Mudassar playing?

No.

 

[Justcrazy]

Smith starts with a boundary

 

[Justcrazy]

Watson should come at number 3

 

[QalandarFan]

Man we're at the bottom we need to win this!

 

[Justcrazy]

IU need at least 200 here .

 

[Madplayer]

Boring team batting. Wanted Lahore to bat first.

 

[Justcrazy]

Six from first over

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir Yamin in the attack.

 

[Ummii]

180 - 200 by oldies

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on man how did Rafathullah hit a six!

 

[Ummii]

some times lahore bowling attack looks much poor than Quetta

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir Yamin actually bowls at a decent pace everything above 130 and a few above 135 with a top speed of 139.2. Doesn't sound like a medium pacer to me should be named at least medium fast.

 

[Ummii]

yamen isn't a good fielder

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Not watching right now. How's match going guys?

 

[Sub-Zero]

Yamin hit 139.2 kph and 138.7 kph in his over

 

[Justcrazy]

smith looking good

 

[Ummii]

lol @ Riffat lala shot selection

 

[QalandarFan]

Need a wicket here.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Yamin hit 139.2 kph and 138.7 kph in his over

I've heard he's actually really fast.

 

[Ummii]

drop

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Great.

 

[Speedster777]

Rafatullah is such a hack

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

what does Talat need to to do in order to get a game? (apart from being 15 years older)

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Great.

Did we drop a catch?

 

[Ummii]

it was a six

 

[Ummii]

Did we drop a catch?

2 catches drop

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Rafatullah is such a hack

dont disrespect seniors, he has so much experience he can be the Viv of Islamabad

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Did we drop a catch?

Two, back to back.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

2 catches drop

Nooo wayy that's dreadful.

 

[QalandarFan]

Why didn't McCullum open in the last match.

 

[QalandarFan]

Chalo ji Finally the best fielder in Lahore Rizwan takes the catch!

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Thank you Rizwan. Great pair of hands.

 

[Ummii]

they can do some lottery stuff in Islamabad for opening with Smith ( if they really want a guy like Riffat to play for them ) .

 

[Rayyman]

Thank Allah. Rifat is out.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

what a tremendous innings, showed his experience, gave a great start

truly a wonderful smart responsible innings

so called young talents need to learn from this

 

[QalandarFan]

Even Ramiz is indirectly calling Rafatullah a hack.

 

[Ummii]

what a tremendous innings, showed his experience, gave a great start

truly a wonderful smart responsible innings

so called young talents need to learn from this

how is the weather in the moon?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Islamabad top three

33 , 40 and 39 years of age and number 5 is 42 years old. Lol.

 

[Rayyman]

Yamin is such a talent.

 

[Speedster777]

Bro LQ are full of youngsters. They already lost last year so I want them to have a better season. This will benefit PSL. Also I don't want to see IU win again. They are oldies and I want to see Sami, Irfan, etc. smashed.

Same here. I want Misbah's oldies X1 to lose and lose badly.

 

[Ummii]

any Islo supporter here ?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

how is the weather in the moon?

i dont know but experienced misbah and co would

 

[QalandarFan]

Need to get Haddin out he can be dangerous.

 

[Ummii]

chucker in action

 

[Amirforpresident]

what a tremendous innings, showed his experience, gave a great start

truly a wonderful smart responsible innings

so called young talents need to learn from this

Youngsta Beauty moment of the match.

 

[Sub-Zero]

good over by Narine

 

[QalandarFan]

Islamabad top three

33 , 40 and 39 years of age and number 5 is 42 years old. Lol.

At least this year they have 2 emerging players under 23

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

lol rameez tearing rafat chacha
"somebody tell him you can bat just once" drop twice and gone

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

any Islo supporter here ?

I am but the Rafatullah decision has left any incredibly sour taste

i could live with him getting called up to the team, pay day for Misbah's mate, no different to whats happning with most of the fringe players in the teams.

Playing him and destabilizing the entire team was just shocking though.

ISU issues where down below and could easily been fixed by replacing Asif ( another misbah mate) with Talat who has had an outstanding domestic season.

 

[Sub-Zero]

what a ball Yamin
Shabba

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Yamin

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

lol rameez tearing rafat chacha
"somebody tell him you can bat just once" drop twice and gone

- Sometimes Ramiz does come up with absolute gems to be honest..... I remember back in the Bangladesh minnow days, we had like a 37-0 streak against then across all formats and Ramiz came on commentary and said something to the effect of:

...........it's been so long that people say the last time Bangladesh beat us, Apple and Blackberry were just fruits' )

 

[QalandarFan]

Gone Yamin gets another. Big wicket of Haddin!

 

[Chief Destroyer]

You could see it coming.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

any Islo supporter here ?

here in India we cant watch it on tv so i watch it online .watched all the matches all most but wenever there is islu batting i turn it off i cant waste my precious MB on 40 years old boring team.
just watched rafat chacha batting to see this hack failing
n he failed thrice lol

 

[QalandarFan]

Now let's hope Yamincan impress with the bat too, he seems a good Player.

 

[Zeshan547]

Man for me yamin could be the biggest find of psl if he can make it count, have been on the money so far,

 

[QalandarFan]

Yasir Shah on!

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Yasir that's a terrible delivery.

And gets a wicket next ball!

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Useless Shah.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

 

[QalandarFan]

Yasir Strikes!

 

[QalandarFan]

The 42 Year Old in the middle now.
