Islamabad United v Peshawar Zalmi | PSL 2 | Match 12 | Sharjah | Feb 18, 2017 | Match Thread

[Hasan123]

Sami strikes, maqsood showing his poor tempremeant again.

 

[tanveer din]

it will be a huge loss for some teams, the likes of Morgan, Roy, Billings will leave

when they are leaving?

 

[Markhor]

Also a good fielder. Would be a good addition to our side.

Is Shadab a decent batsman ? Sick of these pseudo all-rounders like Nawaz, Bhatti, Anwar etc.

Though to be honest with the way he's performing, Shadab could make it into the XI on his bowling alone.

 

[saeed5646]

Maqsood is a joke of a player
deserve a call up for ODI team

what are you saying bro

 

[dhump]

lol what the hell Sami just did hahha

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shabba Sami wickets will come dont worry

 

[Markhor]

People were going gaga over Zalmi's attack before the tournament, and true their bowling is decent. But their batting is flaky as hell.

Yes, he looks quite good with the bat although he hasn't got many opportunities as of yet. That will come with time.

 

[Barragan]

Sami almost got Morgan with the short one is well

 

[Sub-Zero]

when they are leaving?

to join the national ODI team

 

[tanveer din]

oh

 

[tanveer din]

to join the national ODI team

when?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Been a good day so day so far with Quetta winning, Sarfraz performing, and a faltu player like Hafeez failing. All left is Afridi getting out for a duck and getting smacked with the ball to wrap up a perfect day.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Irishman is a clever cricketer

 

[Hasan123]

Morgan loves a reverse sweep

 

[Sub-Zero]

when?

tomorrow I think

 

[Hasan123]

Good test for Shadab, bowling to 2 international class batsmen. This is what we want in the PSL. The young local players to face the top international players in pressure situations.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shadab can turn as well
can become a complete leggie, have to learn to control though

 

[tanveer din]

nice

 

[KingKhanWC]

KP fired, now it's Boom Booms turn

 

[Sub-Zero]

cheeky slower one by Watto

 

[Hasan123]

Watson needs to keep it tight here

 

[KingKhanWC]

Great initative by Isb Utd to raise awareness for the beautiful snow leaopard.

 

[Sub-Zero]

kia hogya hai yaar inko
koi chakka chauka maro yaar

 

[Sub-Zero]

wicket for AMad Butt
nice

 

[Barragan]

shakib gone

 

[Hasan123]

Yesssss Amad strikes.

 

[dhump]

Already liking what I see of Amad Butt..

 

[KingKhanWC]

Terrible shot from a player who lacks power.

Sammy in.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Tauseef is with Islu
so if Rafatullah performs here
he'd be in for a comeback

 

[Barragan]

136 from Ammad

 

[Hasan123]

Amad and Shadab performing under Misbah, a bad day for the haters.

 

[Barragan]

Shadab almost got Sammy

 

[world cup captain]

Don't see some regular posters on right now...

 

[Hasan123]

Misbah should keep the field up, don't let easy singles be taken vs sammy who's rubbish Vs spin.

 

[Barragan]

Beauty by Shadab

 

[KingKhanWC]

You could get the PSL truck through Sammy's gate.

 

[Sub-Zero]

what a display of spin bowling

 

[Barragan]

Sammy looked clueless that over

 

[Belawal2014]

Googly pe googly!

 

[Rayyman]

I want to see a Sammy or Afridi blitz today.

 

[Hasan123]

Sammy is an awful batsmen especially vs spin, if it wasn't for his captaincy and personality wouldn't understand why anyone would be interested in this hack.

 

[Sub-Zero]

good to see those people getting some money

 

[Rayyman]

Shadab is expensive, but he is getting wickets. Good for a leg-spinner.

 

[Belawal2014]

loool these interviews are cringe.

 

[Khan12]

Shadab and hasan Khan should replace imad and nawaz in near future. Both are better players then them.

 

[Belawal2014]

Shadab is expensive, but he is getting wickets. Good for a leg-spinner.

One of his overs went for 15. Other two were great.

 

[tanveer din]

loool these interviews are cringe.

he says he will make home

 

[dhump]

Shadab is seriously exciting player

 

[Hasan123]

There is definitely something to work with when it comes to Amad Butt.

 

[Belawal2014]

Good bowling by Amad.

 

[tanveer din]

nice

 

[Belawal2014]

he says he will make home

Yes, but they seem forced, especially the "thanks to Pepsi Catch a Crore" after EVERY interview.

 

[Sub-Zero]

loool these interviews are cringe.

gotta respect them, they are not as educated as us, we should be thankful to Allah

 

[Barragan]

Morgan out

Well done to Shadab

 

[Rayyman]

Amad Butt is talented with the ball, but I want to see him with the bat. He needs to be good enough to bat at 7 to get into the team.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The danger man goes, terrible shot.

 

[Hasan123]

Shadab strikes!!! Getting the big wicket of Morgan. An exciting talent

 

[Belawal2014]

Shaba Shadab!

 

[tanveer din]

out

 

[Belawal2014]

gotta respect them, they are not as educated as us, we should be thankful to Allah

That's not what irks me. Read post #133..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor cricket by zalmi. They keep playing hafeez at top of the order ,need to drop him.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Brilliant spell, superb control.

 

[Rayyman]

Yes, but they seem forced, especially the "thanks to Pepsi Catch a Crore" after EVERY interview.

This competition is a big reason for the large crowds we are seeing. A lot of the people don't even come to watch the cricket. They just want to get a crowd catch.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah is the best captain in psl.

 

[Sub-Zero]

horrible batting
such a turn off
I was hyped after Quetta's chase

 

[gkb101277867]

Why was zainab abbass speaking English to that guy? You could clearly tell he couldn't speak it.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good running.

Last hope partnership for Z

 

[Rayyman]

Misbah is the best captain in psl.

Yeah his captaincy has been spot on today.

 

[Khan12]

Shadab should be on the plane to West indies along with hasan Khan both are excellent fielders too plus much better batsmens n then nawaz.

 

[Belawal2014]

This competition is a big reason for the large crowds we are seeing. A lot of the people don't even come to watch the cricket. They just want to get a crowd catch.

Yes, and I have no problem with the competition itself. It's the forced interviews after it and the plugging of "thanks to Pepsi catch a crore" after every interview. Made a mountain out of a molehill of my comment.

 

[Sub-Zero]

even Hafeez's wife looks upset

 

[Smbhayi]

Zalmi need to drop Professor & the captain!

 

[Sub-Zero]

love the crowd chanting Pakistan zindabad
that moment was epic when crowd chanted "KP KP KP"

 

[KingKhanWC]

Flicked to cow corner

 

[Hasan123]

There is no way Nawaz should be selected over Shadab and Hasan Khan

 

[s.h.a.k]

Quality of bowling in the PSL is good to see. This is easily a 180+ pitch but some excellent bowling by these boys. Even in other games too. That's why their are not much big scores in the PSL.

 

[itsme]

Hope to see shadab and amad bat but it's unlikely now

 

[itsme]

Shadab yes hasan i don't think so

 

[spade]

Got to admit this young guy bowls international class leggies, Shadab just 18 years, my God, if he doesn't play for Pakistan in the near future, no one should. He looks the part already and this is coming from a guy who is very fussy and pedantic with anything related to spin bowling or batting against spin.

I hope this isn't a false alarm. This PSL has some world class youngsters.
