Lahore to score another Qalandars win today. Razzaq should play as he is dangerous allrounder.

 

[Asif321]

Sami and Rumaan to rattle Qalanders

 

[Passionate Observer]

A clash of two teams headed by tactical and technical failures, one will outdo the other interms of conservative defensive batting and captaincy, the outcome will be mundane borefest characterized by conservative defensive batting and clueless captaincy, one skipper will outdo the other which will make it a hilarious comedy. Won't be surprised if one captain hand over the initiative to the other only for the later to mess it up and vice versa.

 

[iiqbal]

Lahore Qalandars Team is perfect example of team without leader. As team management was not sure who will be their captain. they unable to get proper squad. They don't have one quick fast bowler. V V bad selection.

Misbah vs Azhar: A Battle of Cricket Mediocrity at its very Best.

Misbah vs Azhar: A Battle of Cricket Mediocrity at its very Best.

Misbah is not mediocre as compare to current talent in Pakistan team. He is not exceptional. But i rate him good. Please see PSL matches to have idea of Talent in Pakistan

 

[Ryankhan]

I am going with Lahore Qalandars and i hope Gayle plays today as the pitch will be different as the match will be in Sharjah and i hope we see some MCL stars in todays match who ever are available....should be a good contest..hope watson fires with the bat too

 

[dauntless]

Go qalandar boys and beat united

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hope babar plays today and Akmal comes at 3 again

Misbah vs Azhar: A Battle of Cricket Mediocrity at its very Best.

Please don't compare Misbah to Azhar. He is 10x the player, captain, and person.

 

[Passionate Observer]

Please don't compare Misbah to Azhar. He is 10x the player, captain, and person.

He may be a better human but cricket wise him and his protege are almost identical interms of batting and captaincy.

 

[Madplayer]

Lahore Should have made gayle captain. He has experience and can lead from the front unlike azhar who doesnt even merit a place in any t20 side.

 

[cricfan14]

Does cricketgateway work on phones? Or is there a youtube stream to watch on mobile? Getting on the train for a couple of hours

Two of the most boring sides in the PSL..

Welcome to tuk fest

You didn't watch Lahore's last match??

 

[Syed1]

You didn't watch Lahore's last match??

U.Akmal was playing his once in 15 matches kind of innings. Doesn't change the fact that Azhar and Misbah are both reactive, defensive captains and it shows in the team's strategies..

Don't you think battle between 2 poor captains would be interesting??

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Hope Gayle plays and Azhar gets out early. Want to see Umar and Gayle batting together.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Let's go King Misbah!!!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shane Watson win the toss and bowling first.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dammit still no Babar. Ehsan playing instead of Hammad which is good. Also Kamran Ghulam comes in

 

[cricfan14]

Shane Watson win the toss and bowling first.

Misbah's out?

 

[Strike Rate]

So Gayle is still out this time because of flu

 

[Strike Rate]

For 3rd time in a month Shane Watson is captaining the side due to injury to the original captain - Hussey (Syd), Finch (Aus), Misbah (Isb).

Watson is a bad luck for captains

 

[cricfan14]

So Babar Azam is selected for the WT20 but can't play for Islamabad United. I swear we must have the most mentally incompetent brain trust on the planet

 

[Rathore]

Gayle not playing having flu dsnt matter we still have enough fire power to demolish the opposition.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

These frequent injuries won't do any good to Misbah. He should retire from International cricket.

 

[Brilliance]

Kamran Ghulam playing !!!!!!!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Ryankhan]

Dont really worry about misbah but Gayle should have played but Watson should be happy he got his buddy in the side. B.Haddin. should be good contest and hope Umer plays at no.3 and knocks a 50 or 100

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This pitch is a bowlers graveyard. Small boundary too...

What are you expecting bhai??

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Game on

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Few people posting here today..

 

[Red Devil]

Shouldn't have bowled first here me thinks. Qalandars could rack up a huge total.

 

[MarkCooper]

How is Gayle always injured? he never actually moves his body in any way to suffer an injury. He just stands still and swings.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Chalo g, game on now.

 

[Syed1]

I can't watch the match since I'm at work, but I'm eager to find out what all this hype about Rumman is about.


As far as I know he is nothing special, but has a very easy-on-the-tongue name.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Azhar opening...

 

[PTI tsunami]

Azhar Ali is a embarrassment

Azhar on fire, smashed it for

 

[Mr Consistent]

Azhar ali on fire

 

[Abdul]

Great shot by Azhar Ali!

 

[cricfan14]

Seriously Babar Azam isn't playing??! But he's on our W20 squad? This is so pathetic

 

[MABA]

Whoa azhar strike rate over 100

 

[Syed1]

Islambad's pace attack is no better than Zimbabwe. Why the hell is Sami not opening?

 

[street cricketer]

Looks like Islamabad has a really weak attack.

Russel and Watto opening the bowling..

 

[Syed1]

Malcom Watson and Courtney Russel opening the bowling when they have Sami and Raees

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Thats more like it we need 190 here to have a chance.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bowled

 

[winchester]

Samiiiiiiii

 

[Abdul]

All eyes on Umar Akmal now.

 

[street cricketer]

Gone..

 

[Mr Consistent]

Delport Gone

 

[#GreenRoars]

Navid batting one down?? Great move

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Just feel sorry for poor Akmal now

 

[Mr Consistent]

[#GreenRoars]

Beautiful shot

 

[Arsal_AK]

Why wouldn't you send Umar at 3??

 

[winchester]

Better crowd in Sharjah

 

[#GreenRoars]

Crowd seems good today.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dont care if wicket falls now. Akmal better be next

 

[street cricketer]

Sami seems to have changed his action.

Still I can remember copying his action while bowling during my childhood days. That was when Sami was a top pacer for Pakistan and I was greatly fascinated by his bowling action..

 

[godzilla]

how quick was the ball that sami took his wicket with, anyone see?

speed gun seems to only occasionally be registering.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

So Azhar's place for the next game confirmed. Good to see Ehsan Adil playing. He will impress.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Raees bowling now

 

[Abdul]

Think that Mohammad Rizwan is padded up - Umar Akmal deserves to bat before him!
