Islamabad United v Lahore Qalandars | PSL 2 | Match 14 | Sharjah | Feb 20, 2017 | Match Thread

[Yatoo]

65 metre 6. StupidGround . Akmal should be back in Hut

 

[WC-Passion]

But Gayle has hit some sixes and taken some catches

elliot has leaked runs, dropped catches and done nothing with the bat

Still not good enough for someone who's played twice in the PSL and is meant to be one of the best T20 players in the world.

 

[Square Drive]

Umar you absolute champ. Take them home.

 

[world cup captain]

elliot is truly the worst foreigner on show in this PSL

Managed to pick up four wickets in the first match but very poor after that. Gayle on the other hand has done nothing what so ever.

 

[QalandarFan]

Why can't Umar Akmal bat like this more often.

 

[WC-Passion]

65 metre 6. StupidGround . Akmal should be back in Hut

Compared to some grounds like the ones in NZ that's a decent size.

 

[Barragan]

Nicely cut away for four

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Guys what's the score? I ain't home.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hundred up

 

[QalandarFan]

Splendid Cut!

 

[Yatoo]

Umar Akmal just got lucky.

Now non existent footwork

 

[Speedster777]

Umar Akmal don't get out now

 

[Yatoo]

Why can't Umar Akmal bat like this more often.

Because not even ground is size of a Pea

 

[WC-Passion]

Guys what's the score? I ain't home.

Lahore need to get 145. They are 102-5 with 5 overs to go. 44 off 30.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Umar comfortably our 2nd best Limited Overs batsman now that Sharjeels gone

 

[Barragan]

Managed to pick up four wickets in the first match but very poor after that. Gayle on the other hand has done nothing what so ever.

He has been so poor, that 4 wkts has been forgotten

 

[Square Drive]

Lovely!

Unstoppable today.

 

[Sub-Zero]

it's gonna be tight in the end

 

[Square Drive]

This man MUST open for us in LOIs.

 

[Rayyman]

Umar Akmal just got lucky.

Now non existent footwork

Please stop. He is a class stroke-maker.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This situation is tailor-made for Akmal. If he doesn't do it today he would never do it. No excuses after today.


[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] [MENTION=139150]aliasad1998[/MENTION]

Ok sure

 

[Sub-Zero]

Umar comfortably our 2nd best Limited Overs batsman now that Sharjeels gone

not even top 5

 

[Justcrazy]

44 from 30 balls

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This man MUST open for us in LOIs.

The sooner he gets promoted the better

 

[Barragan]

Still not good enough for someone who's played twice in the PSL and is meant to be one of the best T20 players in the world.

Still better compared to elliot

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Lahore need to get 145. They are 102-5 with 5 overs to go. 44 off 30.

Think LQ can do it?

 

[Yatoo]

Please stop. He is a class stroke-maker.

One, who like is brother, is usually caught at extra cover. He should thank this 65 m ground

 

[Zeshan547]

Why can't Umar Akmal bat like this more often.

mate that's bigger mystery then big bang.

 

[Justcrazy]

41 from 28 balls

Umar is key here

 

[theariezman]

seems like yesterday criticism works for Umar Akmal....infact it was more like abuse.

 

[WC-Passion]

Still better compared to elliot

Gayle still has been more disappointing, isn't him platinum?

 

[Speedster777]

Well bowled Raees

 

[Barragan]

Another beautiful flick for four

 

[Rayyman]

One, who like is brother, is usually caught at extra cover. He should thank this 65 m ground

Strength is not an issue. He is powerful. Timing is great too...

 

[asma_cricfan]

i am enjoying junior's fan's posts more than the slogs of junior. well a player who played 200 international matches already should atleast bat like this once in a while.

and yes bcz of small boundry, he flourished.
anyway atleast he is playing well after 5 previous failures.

 

[QalandarFan]

Unstoppable today Umar Akmal!

 

[Big Mac]

Junior's played really well, fair play to him.

 

[tanveer din]

elliot is just finish article, i just wondering how he hit steyn for sixes in semi final, southafrica deserves to win that

 

[Justcrazy]

36 from 24 balls

Match will go down the wire

 

[WC-Passion]

The boundaries aren't just small for him, they were for everyone else. Nice try though.

 

[world cup captain]

Akmal doing well here, the question is whether he can replicate it. Is this another once in a blue moon inning or the inning that will switch beast mode on for Akmal.

 

[WC-Passion]

Shadab is dangerous, Umar needs to be cautious.

 

[Barragan]

Gayle still has been more disappointing, isn't him platinum?

Don't think anyone is worse than elliot

 

[WC-Passion]

I told you so.

 

[b.lesner]

yes chris martin gone

The hypocrisy. People bash Umar supporters because of their excuses but the excuses they themselves make are hilarious

 

[QalandarFan]

Yaar! Come on Umar!

 

[Big Mac]

Beechara Junior, just got tired after playing a marathon innings. Still, he's kept them in the game

 

[Watsupdoc]

I don't think that was out but Shadab you beauty! We are back in the game!

 

[Speedster777]

There goes Akmal

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Don't think anyone is worse than elliot

Think we can win?

 

[Square Drive]

Damn.

Narine has to take them home now.

Fab knock Umar.

 

[Zeshan547]

That didn't look out in first glance to me. But LQ should still win it from here.

 

[Yatoo]

Hopefully Amir Yamin will win it for Lahore.

But Umar Akmal has non existent footwork. And unlike Afridi, can't even bowl

 

[marlonbrowndo]

yes chris martin gone

But Fakhar Zaman (aka Saeed Anwar) got out a while ago

 

[WC-Passion]

Wild swing from Narine )

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant knock from Umar. Best by a Pakistani on this tournament along with Babars

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yes yes yes
... Cha gya shadab.

 

[Barragan]

Think we can win?

If elliot gets out then sure

Six by Narine

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Shadab you champion

 

[Square Drive]

Narine!!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was outside the line for me

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yaar come on get Narine out as well!

 

[Justcrazy]

[asma_cricfan]

[Watsupdoc]

What the heck is happening?

 

[Barragan]

Brilliant knock from Akmal and brought LQ back into the game

 

[QalandarFan]

TWO in A ROW! Lahore we got this!

 

[Big Mac]

Holy crap, Sunil Narine must be a Monstar because it looks like he's stolen Gayle's batting ability.

 

[tanveer din]

Six

 

[JibranAnsari]

Big six

 

[Justcrazy]

Narine turning this on here
