[Sub-Zero]

Galdiators are gonna slaughter the Retired XI

 

[Sub-Zero]

Gladiators are here, Islu uncles should just forfeit the game

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Hopefully Quetta Gladiators will win tonight!!!

 

[Syed1]

Looking forward to a resounding defeat to the oldies brigade

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Friends XI vs Grandpa XI. Terrible for the game.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Friends XI vs Grandpa XI. Terrible for the game.

still better than Lhr Blunders XI vs Khi Failure XI

 

[Sam18696]

Still no crowd

 

[cricketerB94]

Teams?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

2 worst teams. Quetta with their terrible local selections and Islamabad with their oldies. Sarfraz friends 11 vs Grandpa 11. TBH I want Islamabad to win just because of what they've been through the past few days.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Still no crowd

people coming in, it's gonna be better than Dubai

 

[cricketerB94]

Shafiq

 

[Syed1]

Teams please? I cannot follow the match live

 

[world cup captain]

One of the uncle is sitting out today.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shafiq

Sarfraz is captain after all...

 

[ammar_merry]

shafiq is the vice captain of Quetta...says waheed khan on geo super

 

[world cup captain]

Sarfraz is captain after all...

shafiq is the vice captain of Quetta...says waheed khan on geo super ��

Shafiq to open in West Indiess too

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shafiq to open in West Indiess too

ODI team does not have dearth of openers like Quetta

 

[Syed1]

Looking forward to another failure from Shafiq

 

[Executioner]

Riad playing, T20 suits him. Man of the series in BPL-1, one of the top performers for BD in T20s last year

 

[ExpressPacer]

How is the crowd?

 

[b.lesner]

not watch match now , lost total interest as Asad Shafiq continues to play and better t-20 players sit out

i thought Bismillah Khan would open today if not him maybe Saad nasim get a go as he makes Pakistan t-20 side but not PSL playing 11.

 

[MABA]

Ahmed Shehzad has Milo as his bat sponsor?

 

[MABA]

How is the crowd?

pretty small, I have noticed Thursday seems to attract the most crowd.

 

[world cup captain]

Teams please? I cannot follow the match live

Mills dropped from qeutta while IU drop Ajmal.

 

[Syed1]

Shehzad needs all that strength from Milo

 

[Amirforpresident]

Gul in for Mills???? What wrong has he done?

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shehzad in the mood

 

[Mir jibran]

get this shafiq out asap

 

[MABA]

Shehzad needs all that strength from Milo

haha good one...ovaltine above Milo tho

 

[MABA]

Man Asad can't play limited overs for beans

 

[Sub-Zero]

useless Shafiq, just get out

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shafiq is just awful

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amazing timing.

 

[MABA]

Some real great shots from Ahmad here

 

[Asif321]

shahzad should be back

 

[marlonbrowndo]

How can Sarfraz play Shafiq in a t20

 

[Syed1]

Yaar yeh Shehzad tou acha khel raha hai


He will be back and then go back to his tuk tuk ways

 

[Sub-Zero]

shahzad should be back

he will be back surely, at least in the ODIs

 

[Syed1]

Shafiq has zero timing

 

[Hamza_]

Should have opened with Umar Amin

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yaar yeh Shehzad tou acha khel raha hai


He will be back and then go back to his tuk tuk ways

Same thing happened last year. Pakistanis have poor memory. Remember he was added into the world t20 squad and we all say what wonders he did

 

[Syed1]

Next match QG should drop Shafiq and play Amin as opener with Shehzad

 

[Sub-Zero]

pathetic just pathetic from Shafiq

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Shafiq has no timing lol

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shafiq finally gets a boundary, but he should get out, plays too many dot balls

 

[MABA]

Out...loose shot from Shehzad

 

[Abdullah719]

Stop calling him Selfie, his name is Shehzad.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shehzad was looking good, was playing much better than Shafiq, well not bad from him gave a decent start

 

[marlonbrowndo]

It's a road. 180 is par

 

[tanveer din]

Next match QG should drop Shafiq and play Amin as opener with Shehzad

Luke wright?

 

[Hamza_]

Better innings from Shehzad but really needs to up the tempo in next match.

 

[Syed1]

Wrong guy got out

 

[MABA]

Very good yorker from Sami

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good stuff from Sami. Golden duck for KP

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Pietersen beta tum retire hojao

 

[Asif321]

oh god KP 3 matches fail

 

[Sub-Zero]

what a ball by Sami, kP failing again, Luke Wright should replace him in the next match

 

[tanveer din]

It's a road. 180 is par

Crowd today?

 

[world cup captain]

How was Shezi's shot on which he got out on? I'm not watching the match right now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rossouw in. He's carried this rubbish team so far

 

[Syed1]

Lo jee KP is so useless

 

[Syed1]

KP should have been a part of IU, he is a non-performing oldie playing on past reputation. He would have fit right in in Oldies XI

 

[tanveer din]

nice

 

[MABA]

Wait why is Luke Wright not playing, he was great last PSL

 

[world cup captain]

It falls on Rossouw again. This Quetta team is quite weak like I said before.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Wright for KP next match please

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz friends 11 overreliant on rossouw. Awful to see Sarfraz playing Shafiq

 

[Moiza]

Better innings from Shehzad but really needs to up the tempo in next match.

What can he do with Shafiq on the other end?

 

[Sarfarazian92]

No wonder Kipi bhai pulled out of the IPL auction

 

[Moiza]

Sarfraz as an opener would be a wonderful thing

 

[Sub-Zero]

Sami should come back to the karachi teams, either Quetta or Karachi

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shafiq plays 4 dots and then takes a single

 

[Syed1]

Sarfraz friends 11 overreliant on rossouw. Awful to see Sarfraz playing Shafiq

Trying hard to be critical of Sarfaraz wherever possible. Too bad he is still the best captain and awesome LOI batsman much to your dismay.

 

[Moiza]

How does Viv let them play Shafiq over and over? Or the owners..

 

[Mir jibran]

sami so far has been the best bowler in psl across 2 seasons

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz as an opener would be a wonderful thing

No it wouldn't. We need dynamic openers. Sarfraz is a middle order batsman. He should play at 5.

 

[Sub-Zero]

single after 2 dots to get the strike again for the next over, Shafiq is pissing me off

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Trying hard to be critical of Sarfaraz wherever possible. Too bad he is still the best captain and awesome LOI batsman much to your dismay.

No doubt that he is a brilliant leader and tactician but his team selection just isn't right...

 

[Moiza]

Shafiq tapping into his Glucose reserves
