Islamabad United v Quetta Gladiators | PSL 2 | Match 7 | Sharjah | Feb 15, 2017 | Match Thread

[Sub-Zero]

nice whack, need a few more of those

 

[Syed1]

Lol is that Shafiq WOW

 

[tanveer din]

goood

 

[Markhor]

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.

Both teams still made it to the final last year, and neither will they collapse to 60 all out unlike certain sides.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Only an awful player like Shafiq can't get a single run off that full toss. Pats it to the fielder. Shameful Limited Overs batsman

 

[Sub-Zero]

wasted a bad ball again, Shafiq please get out

 

[Sub-Zero]

Watson still got it

 

[marlonbrowndo]

How many dots will Shafiq play in this over before taking a single?

 

[MABA]

LOL some characters in the crowd today...singing "sami meri waar"

 

[Sub-Zero]

should have made at least 50 in the powerplay, again the start is not good enough

 

[Sub-Zero]

Shafiq got 18 off 19, criminal strike rate

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shafiq gives it his all in every shot and ends up getting just 1

 

[Hamza_]

What is Shafiq doing.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

No one else plays shots with this much effort to get singles

 

[Executioner]

Watching PSL for the first time this season. Tuned in for a few deliveries and turned out, the atmosphere looks dull.

Can't expect PSL to succeed in UAE I am expecting losses for PCB. Hopefuly Pakistan will be safe one day In Shaa Allah and PSL and international cricket will resume there.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Fine leg threw it at rossouws end because Islamabad don't want to get Shafiq out

 

[Syed1]

People singing anthem

I agree with you for the long term prospects but they were able to make a profit in just their first season even with awful attendance. The TV revenue is where the real money is and PSL is a huge hit in PAK

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is criminal from Shafiq on a surface like this on a ground of this size

 

[Sub-Zero]

nice pull shot by Shafiq, I hope he does not get a 50 tho

 

[-=Umair=-]

What the name of this song

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What the name of this song

Lean on

 

[Syed1]

Shafiq has only one boundary scoring shot and that is the swivel pull shot

 

[Hamza_]

Shafiq is a seriously limited player

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shadab bowling beautifully. Haddin misses the stumping. And it was quettas best player..

 

[Syed1]

Good bowling from Shadab

 

[Markhor]

Shadab deserved a wicket.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great stuff by shadab

 

[Hamza_]

Excellent by Shadab though. Missed stumping by Haddin

 

[Sub-Zero]

that could be the difference between a win and a defeat, Rossouw should be careful now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq should go on to score a 100

 

[Sub-Zero]

really good bowling by Shadab

 

[saeed5646]

Shadab deserved a wicket.

Great stuff by shadab

Excellent by Shadab though. Missed stumping by Haddin

he has better Googly than yasir

 

[Syed1]

He has an excellent googly. Plus he is a hard hitting batsman.


GET HIM IN!!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol Shafiq

 

[Muhammad10]

Few sights in cricket as majestic as the mistimed Shafiq drive.

 

[Sub-Zero]

it's getting boring, need some sixes

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rossouw can't save the friends 11 today

 

[world cup captain]

Shafiq playing a match winning inning.

 

[The_KING]

Yes Come on Islamabad!

 

[MABA]

Out of all the players Shafiq has managed to outlast all of them

 

[Syed1]

Abay yar oldies are winning..

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Shafiq is our new opener in all format.
May God save us from torment

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hope Islamabad win this. They need a win after a difficult couple of days.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Looks like Shafiq is our new opener in all format.
May God save us from torment

) couldn't have said it better. But I think even if Sarfraz wants to play him, the coach will never allow it

 

[Sub-Zero]

match is gonna be a close one now, don't think Quetta will be able to get to 150

 

[world cup captain]

There goes the game for Quetta unless another Sarfraz special.

 

[MABA]

Cannot have Shafiq out there next game unless Quetta like to drag themselves in games

 

[The_KING]

This Shadab guy looks to be a decent leggy

 

[JibranAnsari]

he has better Googly than yasir

Yasir does not have a googly..he is a fraud

 

[Hamza_]

Awesome Sarfraz

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot Sarfraz

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shafiq has no power.

 

[Markhor]

This match has been quite dull so far and sums up a lot of the PSL's problems. Low, sluggish UAE wickets just kill any excitement in a cricket match not to mention below average sized crowds.

Not to mention there are many players either not suited to the format or over the hill.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz really needs to improve his power hitting against pacers. Can't blame him though with a dud like Shafiq at the other end

 

[The_KING]

Sarfraz

 

[MABA]

Horrible innings all around from Quetta today, looks like champs will dominate them today but Quetta do have a knack of defending low totals

 

[Syed1]

Raees is bowling tight

 

[Rayyman]

Youngster Zohaib Ahmed smashed.

 

[JibranAnsari]

sarfraz bhi gayo

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq will carry the bat

 

[world cup captain]

I reckon 130 for Quetta.

 

[The_KING]

Excellent stuff so far ISLU. Keep Shafiq on strike.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Islamabad need to ensure that Shafiq doesn't get out

 

[ExpressPacer]

PSL feels like BPL this time. Worse, actually.

 

[Asif321]

Quetta need Anwar Ali cameo

 

[The_KING]

Get Shadab in our LOI sides. He is better than Yasir

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should fast track shadab khan.. very impressive.

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan should fast track shadab khan.. very impressive.

We are playing in West Indies, Bangladesh and in UAE v Sri Lanka this year - all slow, low turning pitches.

So a good time to blood in a young spinner like Shadab. What's his batting like ?

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is probably the worst t20 batting pair.

Don't know , has one first class hundred and averages 27 in list A with a SR of 106. Good enough I guess.

 

[world cup captain]

Quetta needs to rethink their strategy. This simply can't and won't work.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Full toss played for a single.. LOL

very good attacking batsmen

 

[JibranAnsari]

why isnt luke wright playing?

 

[badsha001]

people can't put away full tosses (doesn't have to be a boundary but a decent shot) need to quit playing cricket...

 

[Naim]

Yaa Allah tera shukar

 

[MABA]

The torture from Shafiq ends

 

[saeed5646]

What a big wicket for watson he just bowled on of the best batsmen of modern era

Shafiq after playing a GOAT innings
