Islamabad United v Quetta Gladiators | PSL 2 | Match 17 | Dubai | Feb 24, 2017 | Match Thread

Give Talat a bowl Misbah. You have already lost.


Let the kid have his moment.
 
If KP was playing test in last English series with India, he would have helped them win atleast one test, from there who knows...He is very good against spinners, plus his reach is too much... Well last time he did won test series for English man!!
 
Friends and Accumulators XI

Haha yes, the only thing being "accumulated" are Quetta's points in the PSL. Whereas other "dynamic and explosive" teams are taking the first flight home.
 
He is the best batsman England has ever produced!! - Errr, he is not even english, another great ones from SA and donated to English ;-)

Interesting debate. KP is the most exciting England batsman. Struggled against left arm spin though. I'd say Graham Gooch deserves that title, he faced all the great bowling attacks of the 80s and 90s.
 
So far, PSL PAK LO 16 (for both ODI & T20 combined & excluding KAkmal, Sami, Sohail & Irfan)

Ahmed
Fakhar
Babar

Shadab

Talat is not a number eight batsman. If you have to play him at eight then don't even play him.

He is back up opener for Fakhar (whom I'll never play, but he has slogged few runs here)
 
If Lahore loose against kk do Lahore get knocked out ?

Since PZ won today, the LQ vs KK match will decide who goes through. If LQ win they will go through otherwise KK go through.


Obviously there are other permutations and combinations. I'm still hopeful that IU is the first team to go home.

Now I know why I couldn't find a slot for Umar. He comes at 4, dropping Mian at 6 & rest one slot lower. Since one more batsman, I'll definitely play Talat as opener instead of Fakhar. Any PAK player at 20 hitting a SIX on extra cover boundary at Dubai must be given chance.

Not to mention, KP also was the key for England to won the only ICC trophy they have ever won, the T20 WC back in 2009/2010...Gooch was good in test, but he did not had KP like impact nor that well rounded player...

Oh man, I support Lahore but it'd be a shame if Karachi are sent home earlier. Want Islamabad to leave.
 
At this mature age, Misbah still couldn't come out of this slow burning style for a respectable defeat ........

Actually we completely deserve it. KK is very very boring and we continue to play Chris Gayle and Ravi Bopara.

The only sad part of KK going home early is we won't see more of Babar and Usama..
 
QG is surprising every team/everyone & I probably can find a reason now - they are the only team who are actually playing their top batsmen in top 5. Their top order will score quick or get out for the next man - even Asad has gone after or gone out.
 
I'd have KP in my T20 side instead of Morgan, if I was English
 
I doubt if Misbah knows that Talat can bowl. He is in his normal mood of operation - 5 X 4
 
That was good ball from Shadab, he can spin the ball too, he should be the permeant all rounder in all three formats, I cannot see why we should not do that?? - That will be huge mistake to not include him for both test and Odi for WI tour, Inzi we are watching you, atleast do one dam thing right :acp

A captain like Sarfraz for Karachi would have been great.
 
England has so many power hitters, KP still at this age top them all(maybe excluding Buttler), he is still too good to be not playing International level cricket!!
 
No, I meant to say how Talat bowls, spin(left, right, leg) or medium pacer? - We know the capabilities of Misbah, 10 saal say bardash kar rahay haan :sanga

Talat bowls medium pace
 
This kid has the best Googly in contemporary world - beating KP with big turn is one thing, out smarting him .... I am sure Haddin has no clue which way it's turning & he has kept against Warne, McGill ....
 
4 overs for 28 and 1 wicket. Those are spectacular figures under the circumstances.
