[Yanna_Rascala]

I cannot believe Yamin got dropped again despite being the best bowler in the last game. I don't know what that kid has to do to get selected when the likes of Anwar Ali, Rizwan and Shehzad are playing regularly.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Play Babar Azam damnit..who is Asif Ali

 

[cricfan14]

Misbah and Afridi love each other nothing can convince me otherwise lol they're always whispering and gossiping

I think its the rank high full tosses to Tanvir that did for him, then again Tait went for 26 in his last over

 

[Canistani Hero]

Misbah and Afridi love each other nothing can convince me otherwise lol they're always whispering and gossiping

but then there would be no conspiracy theory to sell?

 

[cricfan14]

Is Babar Azam actually injured? This is seriously ******** that he's going to get no matches in the PSL but is going to play in Asia Cup and WT20

 

[Barragan]

Play Babar Azam damnit..who is Asif Ali

misbah's buddy from Faislabad. )

He is rubbish and both Amin and Babar are far superior.

 

[Red Devil]

Well, at least they didn't play freaking Irfan again.

 

[shebimalik]

Asif Ali one of the supplementary picks is playing today for Islamabad. Must be due to injury to one of the members of the original squad.

if you're going to copy someone's tweet word for word, you should give reporting credit

Sharjeel save your life and play some off side shots.

[Barragan]

Two solid boundaries from Watson in that over against Junaid

 

[HaiderAbbasRizvi]

Junaid bowling in 110's...

 

[Barragan]

Whoa

Shahid Yousuf diving around like a gazelle

 

[Barragan]

Streaky boundary by Sharjeel

 

[shaz619]

early on, I'd have 2-3 slips and a third man for shaun tait, he needs an ultra aggressive field setting imo it's T20 but in his first spell that's the type of field which best suits his hostile bowling

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Lol @ everyone bombarding Sharjeel with an offstump line. He's having it hard there.

 

[Abdullah719]

Looks like Junaid has removed that little skip at the beginning of his run-up. Good.

 

[Barragan]

Poor delivery and nearly got hit is well

 

[HaiderAbbasRizvi]

Excellent captaincy by Misbah, no slips and two catches went missing...

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Good tight bowling from Zalmi so far.

 

[Indiafan]

Junaid 2 overs 20 runs. Tait 2 overs 6. What a contrast

 

[Syed1]

How is juni's bowling? Good enough to make a comeback?

 

[Abdullah719]

Excellent captaincy by Misbah, no slips and two catches went missing...

Sorry to disappoint, but the captain is Afridi.

 

[Indiafan]

Excellent captaincy by Misbah, no slips and two catches went missing...

He has a wide slip and no the way Watson had hit OVER the slip that would not be a catc

 

[Indiafan]

sorry to disappoint, but the captain is afridi.

lmao

 

[Abdullah719]

How is juni's bowling? Good enough to make a comeback?

Pace is good, but bowled a couple of half-volleys and a full toss.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

What a delivery by Asghar.

 

[Abdullah719]

He has a wide slip and no the way Watson had hit OVER the slip that would not be a catc

Apparently slip catchers take catches that go 10 feet above their heads.

 

[Barragan]

Brilliant ball by Asghar

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Wow this Asghar is world class. Always does well under pressure.

 

[badsha001]

what a bowling change by mIsbhah...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Beauty by Mohammad Asghar

 

[cricfan14]

I seriously do not understand how Afridi didn't push for Asghar's inclusion?? He's watching him daily and he has the attitude that Afridi loves too

 

[Khyam]

Brilliant delivery by Asghar to get Watson out.

 

[Abdullah719]

What a jaffa that was by Asghar.

 

[Abdullah719]

what a bowling change by mIsbhah...

I presume this is sarcasm.

 

[Passionate Observer]

Khalid "hack" latif in the middle.

 

[Barragan]

I seriously do not understand how Afridi didn't push for Asghar's inclusion?? He's watching him daily and he has the attitude that Afridi loves too

No idea how he didn't get in

He was the perfect spinner to select in these conditions

 

[pasha404]

can't beleive Asghar is not in T20 squad.dumb Afridi

 

[_Ace_]

Afridi backs the most mediocre of players like Shehzad to the ends of the earth but the best T20 spinner in the country playing for his own team in PSL he didn't have the common sense to push for even when the WT20 squad has not a single specialist spinner.

 

[cricfan14]

No idea how he didn't get in

He was the perfect spinner to select in these conditions

There isn't any justification. PCB saying he's not "ready." Afridi lobbied for Khurram aggressively and got him but didn't do the same from Asghar, who is just crushing the competition on a stage like this?

It makes NO sense, unless Afridi feels threatened. Seriously.

 

[Red Devil]

Gotdammit, all players who are not in the squad are looking great.

 

[pasha404]

Afridi backs the most mediocre of players to the ends of the earth

and those one who can he kiss in the ground in front of cameras

 

[IcedCoffee]

Do we have a specialist spinner in the line up? If not then who would asghar replace? It's clear that the selectors wanted an all rounder instead.

 

[Passionate Observer]

Another boring match on the cards.

Ironic, coming from the clan that selected Usman Shinwari after one match-winning performance.

 

[cricfan14]

He should've been selected instead of Irfan, not another all rounder

 

[cricfan14]

Khurram is super ready for his T20 debut at the WC...

and those one who can he kiss in the ground in front of cameras

And yet Asghar who is the best T20 spinner in the country and is playing for his own team in the PSL, he did not have the common sense to push for, that when the WT20 squad has not a single specialist spinner.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Islamabad supporters can go to sleep without any objection before 12am this time as Misbah is next.

 

[Winsome]

Islamabad United should win

That is a pathetic excuse of "not being ready"

We had players like Tanvir in 07, Amir in 09 and Raza Hasan in 12 - they all did a great job.

Simply gutted.

 

[Boi]

Hopefully United get smashed. Can't believe they give youngsters like Ghulam and Babar a game or two max and then drop them. So unfair, especially when hacks like Latif and Asif Ali get in over them.

 

[Passionate Observer]

When will Misbah/Afridi retire from all forms of cricket?

 

[Indiafan]

Sharjeel ek match ke baad thanda pad gaya

I feel like I defend Waqar endlessly, but insisting on Irfan and ignoring Asghar is grounds for firing. Seriously. It means he's totally out of touch on performance and conditions

 

[Abdullah719]

Khurram is super ready for his T20 debut at the WC...

We have a habit of panicking and randomly picking players out of the blue for important tours and tournaments.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

The PSL has kinda turned into an ironic punishment for Pakistan fans.

At first it was supposed to be a platform for your young players to excel, now its basically an exhibition of the players you wish you had on the plane to India.

So you're basically doomed now to watching players who should be on the plane to the WC playing well while the rest flop.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Finally a

Agreed, a decision which will cost us dearly

 

[Passionate Observer]

This Asghar guy is as overrated as one can get, doesn't swing the ball not even an inch, he would've been absolutely murdered on Indian tracks.

 

[Abdullah719]

Crowd chanting "Afridi", Sharjeel launches him into the stands.

 

[#GreenRoars]

103m.

 

[Barragan]

Massive six from Sharjeel

WOW!

 

[Syed1]

Good thing he doesn't swing it, because he is a spinner



#pwned

He is a spinner.

 

[cricfan14]

Aaaand that's why you need an actual specialist spinner in T20s

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Sharjeel destroying Afridi for not selecting him

 

[Abdullah719]

Afridi giving IslU some momentum. #BiggerHearts

......

lol

 

[Syed1]

Wow Sharjeel taking out ghusa of his non-selection on kaptaan

 

[_Ace_]

Was the best T20 spinner in the country in Asghar not worthy of even a fraction of the fierce romance that the Kaptaan had been demonstrating for the mediocre Shehzad all along...

 

[Red Devil]

Get Sharjeel and Asghar in the team somehow damnit. Haroon Rasheed you fool.
