[world cup captain]

islamabad not looking serious

I as a fan am total flattered due to the fixing saga, how do you think the players feel?

 

[tanveer din]

good

 

[Zeshan547]

If these blind slogging is keep going we are surely losing this as well.

I think karachi and quetta are strong favrts now

 

[tanveer din]

whos gona win

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Cmon guys

 

[world cup captain]

Umar just needs to rotate the strike right now, don't try to smash it.

 

[uberkoen]

The problem with supporting Lahore is that they don't have any decent local players in the team that one can look forward to watching. The team will rely on Mccullum, Roy, Eilliot and Narine mostly.

My bet is on Lahore if they can get Fakhar or Umar in some form. Karachi is strong and probably the most rounded team, but it's just a gut feeling.

There is Zaman but idk if he's worth the hype.

Islamabad?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Islamabad?

They don't look up for it after the fixing thing

 

[Rayyman]

Gohar, Bhatti, Qadir and Irfan.

 

[uberkoen]

There is Zaman but idk if he's worth the hype.

Looks pathetic based on what I've seen so far.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Umar akmal hits for four

 

[Rayyman]

Looks pathetic based on what I've seen so far.

Yeah looks like a complete hack. [MENTION=139150]aliasad1998[/MENTION] was right.

 

[MRSN]

UA needs to keep it down the ground. no big risk.

 

[uberkoen]

Gohar, Bhatti, Qadir and Irfan.

Bhatti and Irfan are not international standard players. Was hoping Zaman would come out good but doesn't look like it. Hope Gohar and Qadir can get a few games.

 

[Barragan]

Beautiful shot for four by Akmal

 

[MRSN]

that's glorious shot of the day. Umar showing his talent.

 

[Rayyman]

Shadab looks a bit raw tbh.

 

[world cup captain]

Islamabad?

Main reason for my support was Sharjeel, which may surprise some. Now that he is gone, I have lost interest in the team.

The team heavily relied on Sharjeel and Billings. Now that Sharjeel is gone, Billings can hold up to the weight. I highly doubt anyone else in the team can be consistent.

Smith has been very scratchy, he's wasting a lot of balls while Haddin, Watson and Misbah can perform only on their days now. Disappointing to see where this team has come to. From having Sharjeel, Amin and Babar now there is no one.

 

[Barragan]

Ajmal is chucking

 

[Stallion__]

Akmal has played that cut after a long time.

 

[MRSN]

Why is Saeed Ajmal bowling with his old action? [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

I thought he remodeled his action a bit more slingy..

 

[ExpressPacer]

Is it just me or did we see the same Ajmal action he was called out with for the first two deliveries? I'm not necessarily saying he chucked but looked very similar to his old one.

 

[world cup captain]

Looks pathetic based on what I've seen so far.

Give him more time, I don't think he has ever played in front of a crowd. Hopefully this is the case.

 

[MRSN]

Ajmal is chucking

He is bowling with his old action which was banned.

 

[Stallion__]

Roy struggling here

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Ajmal chucking

 

[MRSN]

Is it just me or did we see the same Ajmal action he was called out with for the first two deliveries? I'm not necessarily saying he chucked but looked very similar to his old one.

he is definitely bowling with his old action. His new action is a bit more like slingy.

 

[Barragan]

He is bowling with his old action which was banned.

Yep

Pathetic to see and I hope he gets called for it

Report him

 

[tanveer din]

nice

 

[ExpressPacer]

he is definitely bowling with his old action. His new action is a bit more like slingy.

Yeah. I'm fine with it as long as he gets wickets for IU. )

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Can Lahore manage this?

 

[Barragan]

Smacked by Akmal

 

[uberkoen]

Give him more time, I don't think he has ever played in front of a crowd. Hopefully this is the case.

Hope so. Has good stats at domestic level.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Smacked away for four by UA. Always like Umar Akmal

 

[MRSN]

This has been sensible batting by this pair so far.

 

[world cup captain]

Good use of the feet. Surprised to see Akmal keep the ball along the ground.

 

[Barragan]

Roy going a bit too slow

 

[MRSN]

Hope so. Has good stats at domestic level.

not a dynamic batsman. but can be a good bat in tests.

 

[Rayyman]

This has been sensible batting by this pair so far.

Umar Akmal is looking really good out there. Strong through the off-side and nice footwork.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Ajmal getting smashed despite chucking.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Ajmal bowling with the same acting

 

[MRSN]

just need singles and twos no big risk.

 

[uberkoen]

Who was hired to correct Ajmal's action and how much did we pay him? What a waste of money.

 

[world cup captain]

Why if Irfan still at the ground? Isn't he also suspected of fixing?

 

[MRSN]

Umar Akmal is looking really good out there. Strong through the off-side and nice footwork.

there was this thought by one of poster here to ban UA from playing in the air which I like the idea lol. He is very capable of playing good down the ground but takes needless risk.

 

[world cup captain]

Akmal really seems to have matured excluding yesterday's shot. He was rotating the strike in the Australian series too.

 

[Barragan]

What a shot by Akmal

 

[MRSN]

beautiful

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Sixer from my man UA!

 

[Barragan]

LOL

What a wide from Watson

 

[shaaik]

Am I the only to hv lost a bit of interest in this year's PSL after this horrendous latest fixing saga.??

 

[Dubawi]

Fawad Khan looking bulky guess he is piling on weight for Maula Jutt!!!

 

[uberkoen]

Am I the only to hv lost a bit of interest in this year's PSL after this horrendous latest fixing saga.??

You and [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION].

 

[world cup captain]

Same here, came on to see how Fakhar is doing but now Akmal is out there.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Am I the only to hv lost a bit of interest in this year's PSL after this horrendous latest fixing saga.??

Was it just sharjeel & khalid Latif?

 

[uberkoen]

Fawad Khan looking bulky guess he is piling on weight for Maula Jutt!!!

At least he's not shamelessly promoting his upcoming movie like Ali Zafar.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Ajmal chucking wth man

 

[Rayyman]

there was this thought by one of poster here to ban UA from playing in the air which I like the idea lol. He is very capable of playing good down the ground but takes needless risk.

And then proceeeds to loft a six over mid-wicket.

 

[Barragan]

It is out

 

[shah_1]

Ajmal is chucking

 

[Mamoon]

Fakhar doesn't look international material, time to rule him out as potential replacement for Azhar, Sharjeel and Latif.

As things stand, it looks like Kamran and Shehzad will be the two new openers in Limited Overs, which I don't mind. However, I would prefer a dasher over Shehzad in T20s. Shahzaib needs to perform.

 

[uberkoen]

Ajmal is definitely chucking.

 

[dhump]

how on earth is this not out ???

 

[fasihulhaq94]

lol not out! who is the 3rd umpire?

 

[shah_1]

That was out

 

[Barragan]

That is surprising

On the line is out

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Not fair.. Ajmal chucking

 

[Rayyman]

Fawad Khan looking bulky guess he is piling on weight for Maula Jutt!!!

At least he's not shamelessly promoting his upcoming movie like Ali Zafar.

Not really, he looks pretty big. Jackets can make you look larger too.

 

[Barragan]

Brilliant from Akmal

 

[MRSN]

get sir chucker to cleaners

 

[shah_1]

Umar is playing well

 

[Pakistani Pace]

 

[world cup captain]

) ) Got away with one

 

[uberkoen]

Did Lahore Qalandars have the same kit last year as well? This is a very ugly kit.

 

[Jabo]

The crowd is awful 3 days in

 

[Stallion__]

Less chucking from round the wicket
