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

[Square Drive]

Rizwan has been in good touch lately, hopefully these two build a stand of some sort.

Shadab is fantastic. So happy for him.

 

[Square Drive]

I'm hoping Yamin hits the winning runs tonight.

 

[Syed1]

Here comes dancer Rizwan. Struggled against Adil Rashid last summer so let's see how he gets on vs Shadab.

Not a fan of Riz but some of you just hate without giving him a chance. Last match he played splendidly.

 

[Zeshan547]

despite his performances today i dont think Yamin can be considered a third seamer unless we are playing on a green pitch

he is more of a person who should be able to give us a 5 overs or so a game

he may not be the next ben stokes, but we have to work with what we have, he is the closest we have to modern day batting pace all rounder. And if given proper run and guidance i think if can be the answer.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dont think so just yet, think there is still place for him in odis and tests

why he fails in t20s baffles me given he is actually a decent death bowler

Isnt smart enough , doesnt have a good sense of match situation and frankly is done as a bowler.

 

[WC-Passion]

Umar needs to keep it going now.

 

[Barragan]

Four

 

[160KPH]

Shadab Khan needs to replace Hafeez. Imad can move up.
Beautiful batting and bowling so far tonight

 

[Justcrazy]

Umar akmal

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Let's see what the most dynamic bat in Pakistan does today!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Akmal is gonna win Lahore the game here

 

[Boi]

Sensing an Umar Akma special tonight.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The last pair for lahore this

 

[Markhor]

Not a fan of Riz but some of you just hate without giving him a chance. Last match he played splendidly.

He's not gonna get fed lollipops by Zulfi Baba, Anwar Ali, Mohammad Nawaz and Tissara Perera every day.

 

[WC-Passion]

Come on Riz. Hit LBW out of the park please.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

he may not be the next ben stokes, but we have to work with what we have, he is the closest we have to modern day batting pace all rounder. And if given proper run and guidance i think if can be the answer.

yeah but as you said batting allrounder. He should never have been dropped in the first place but im worried people will over emphasize his bowling and then use that as reason to drop him. Rather i think he should be judged more on his batting and in that regard he should be batting at 6 or 7

Isnt smart enough , doesnt have a good sense of match situation and frankly is done as a bowler.

i feel t20s are just to much for him, he doesnt stop and think, in ODIS though you cant drop him yet

 

[world cup captain]

Expect Akmal to fire to keep his place. Match winning inning on its way.

 

[Syed1]

He's not gonna get fed lollipops by Zulfi Baba, Anwar Ali, Mohammad Nawaz and Tissara Perera every day.

That bowling line has carried QG to the top of the table

 

[Markhor]

Are people actually interested in watching the match or taking bloody selfies ?

 

[WC-Passion]

That bowling line has carried QG to the top of the table

Sarfraz and Rossouw imo have carried them too

 

[Justcrazy]

42 / 3

8 overs

 

[Syed1]

I hate this selfie culture that is taking over Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lahores gna lose this by 30 odd runs.

 

[Adil_94]

time for UA to step up today

 

[WC-Passion]

I hate this selfie culture that is taking over Pakistan

Hate selfies in general tbh

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shadab to get both these keepers out.

 

[Watsupdoc]

First time i am seeing him bowl and he's impressive!

 

[Barragan]

Extra bounce there by Shadab

 

[Sub-Zero]

good over by SHadab

 

[Barragan]

Good use of the feet for four

 

[Syed1]

Shot of desperation

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rizwan is jumping like a clueless batsman

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shadab has a very good control for a legspinner at such a young age.

 

[Syed1]

Rizwan really struggling. Hit out or get out.

 

[Barragan]

Yamin should bat above elliot

 

[Sub-Zero]

Watson serving pies to Umar Akmal

 

[Barragan]

Nice flick for four

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate over 9

 

[WC-Passion]

Watto needs to be targeted

 

[Sub-Zero]

Awful Rizwan

 

[Barragan]

Rizwan struggling and bowled

 

[Markhor]

John Travolta gone, get a proper batsman in now.

 

[WC-Passion]

Rizzu gone

 

[Watsupdoc]

Watto is intense - that stare

 

[world cup captain]

Rizwan really struggling. Hit out or get out.

Wish Granted

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Terrible by Rizwan

 

[Justcrazy]

54 / 4

10 overs

 

[Haroon786]

 

[Barragan]

Irfan in?

 

[Speedster777]

This Rizwan guy never scores.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What the? Irfan is sent in next? )
Lahore is desperate now.

 

[Haroon786]

 

[Rayyman]

Kaptaan still hasn't bowled Butt. MashAllah what captaincy!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

[WC-Passion]

Irfan Jr??!?

 

[Sub-Zero]

Irfan sent as a pinch hitter

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

) why is he sent in

[WC-Passion]

 

[Barragan]

Four

 

[Sub-Zero]

[Watsupdoc]

[The cricket enthusiast]

[Watsupdoc]

[WC-Passion]

Lovely shot from Junior.

 

[Barragan]

Tremendous shot for six

 

[Sub-Zero]

bring back Shadab against Umar

 

[Zeshan547]

Man only if sharjeel wasn't as dumb, we would have making of very decent ODI line up. But now will have to work with something like this.
1_fakhar
2_junior (as last resort)
3_babar
4_haris
5_sarf
6_malik
7_yamin
8_imad
9_shadab
10_amir
11_hassan
now just imagine sharjeel in place of fakhar.

 

[Rayyman]

Yet winning the game...

Not giving chance to the youngster.

 

[Square Drive]

Yes Umar!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot of the day. Brilliant from Umar

 

[Barragan]

Nice deft touch

 

[WC-Passion]

Shot

 

[Watsupdoc]

That dive from Irfan )

 

[Square Drive]

LMAO why is Irfan in though? )

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pathetic over from Butt so far though.

 

[Rayyman]

Butt getting smacked.
