Islamabad United vs Multan Sultans | PSL - 4th match | Dubai | Feb 16, 2019 | IU innings

[Titan24]

Only Shafiq kept Ronchi silent for sometime he is murdering others

 

[Khan12]

Hammad to bat at 8 again today.

 

[Naim]

20 from this over .

 

[IAJ]

Ronchi killing Russel here, poor captaincy.

Ronchi has scored 50 of the 57 runs lol

 

[Titan24]

20 runs over from Russel

 

[Khan12]

Russel has been a shadow of himself since the Ban.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good to see Shafiq bowling well.

Another good innings by Ronchi

 

[Titan24]

Malik saving Shafiq’s overs shows Shafiq has impressed the people he needed to

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shahid Afridi strikes.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Boom Boom gets Ronchi

Big big wicket

 

[Titan24]

Another day fro Asif Ali and Faheem to show if they are consistent enough

 

[Goharn]

Talat 5(10)

 

[Mueez]

Major test for Asif and Faheem.

Let’s see if they perform well today too.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Why do every player look so fat?

cameras may be.... which channel are you watching

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wasn't that a no-ball?

 

[Titan24]

Junaid is yet to bowl

 

[Hasan123]

Ronchi gone. Big blow.

 

[Khan12]

Talat 5(10)

better then 0 (4) from delport.

 

[babajee]

Another day for Rana to save IU.

 

[Hasan123]

Malik captaincy has been good here.

 

[Boi]

Why wasn’t that a no ball?

 

[IAJ]

Catch o Lala

 

[Khan12]

Excellent catch from afridi.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good catch from Afridi!

 

[Titan24]

Junaid already reversing it in 8 overs

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Another day fro Asif Ali and Faheem to show if they are consistent enough

yeh let see if they are happy with dean jones going easy on them

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why wasn’t that a no ball?

My question exatly! Afridi clearly cut the back crease!

 

[Goharn]

Why wasn’t that a no ball?

The foot needs to cut the line at the first impact.

 

[IAJ]

Was that QB in the stands?

 

[Mueez]

Afridi you youngsta beauty

 

[Titan24]

yeh let see if they are happy with dean jones going easy on them

Hahaha. Yes its the hot discussion.

 

[Hasan123]

We are far to reliant on Ronchi.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

just looking hw much of this hack's (talat) bat turned playing that shot

 

[Khan12]

just looking hw much of this hack's (talat) bat turned playing that shot

Babar had the same problem. Its takes time.

 

[Khan12]

Good to see Shadab come up.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hahaha. Yes its the hot discussion.

haaan haannn ... Wasnt talat also part of that "easy" team.. 1 easy (talay) back in the pavilion already, lets wait for the next 2

 

[Hasan123]

Luck for Salt.

 

[Titan24]

If Junaid is fit he should be in Aussies ODIs and eventually WC squad

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Babar had the same problem. Its takes time.

Yes babar had the same problem, but comparatively less and he has other shots to cover up that problem

 

[Hasan123]

Salt doesn't look impressive. The honest truth is a lot of these overseas signings aren't very good. I would rather see a younger Pakistan player than a average overseas player.

 

[Titan24]

What a way to get out!

 

[Khan12]

Another oversees quota filled. i mean "star". Next Plz.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This Salt guy is so useless...

 

[Hbomb00]

IU need Misbah 911 emergency

 

[babajee]

I wonder why Bell isn't in the XI.

 

[Theo_14]

For us this is very exciting. Finally get to see the middle/lower order getting the exposure. Lets see how they handle this.

 

[Khan12]

Salt doesn't look impressive. The honest truth is a lot of these overseas signings aren't very good. I would rather see a younger Pakistan player than a average overseas player.

This. Exactly but i am told these are stars and people want to see them. I wonder who knows salt.

 

[Titan24]

Ian Bell might replace Salt for the next match

 

[Naim]

it was a fast ball . maybe afridi want to apply for speed watch thread

 

[Goharn]

If samit is batting at 9, why not just play Zafar Gohar. He is pretty good for a 9 and much better bowler.

 

[Hasan123]

This. Exactly but i am told these are stars and people want to see them. I wonder who knows salt.

I don't mind elite overseas players such as AB and Russell. But for me players like DR Smith,Fletcher,and Salt are a waste of time.

 

[Khan12]

Shadab looks miles better then the so called star.

 

[Hasan123]

Samit Patel is another waste of time signing. There are plenty of domestic spinners so why sign Samit Patel?

 

[Titan24]

Afridi took a good catch along with two wickets. Still a match changer on his day

 

[Khan12]

I don't mind elite overseas players such as AB and Russell. But for me players like DR Smith,Fletcher,and Salt are a waste of time.

Exactly. We need them players (i.e AB) and even if there are 10 of them i am fine. But, what annoys me is seeing these useless players who are absolute rubbish.

 

[ABMiller]

How is the crowd tonight?? I could not watch the match. That toss picture is not promising

 

[mak36]

Ian Bell might replace Salt for the next match

He should replace Delport. Don't understand why IU signed him.

 

[Hasan123]

Good to see Shadab taking responsbillity by going up the order.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Afridi still showing whose boss..still.much better thn some youngsters who have been getting a free ride for a couple of years now

 

[Hbomb00]

Asif Hack Buttler departs :

 

[Titan24]

Samit Patel is another waste of time signing. There are plenty of domestic spinners so why sign Samit Patel?

I guess they have to play overseas players to maintain the brand value. They want it to be different from a domestic T20 tournament.

 

[Khan12]

He should replace Delport. Don't understand why IU signed him.

Delport is a "star". They want to win. Didn't you know. It's a private league.

 

[Khan12]

I guess they have to play overseas players to maintain the brand value. They want it to be different from a domestic T20 tournament.

Then Play 2 like Big Bash.

 

[Titan24]

He should replace Delport. Don't understand why IU signed him.

Delport was performing regularly for LQ though looked poor in the first two matches here

 

[Hasan123]

I guess they have to play overseas players to maintain the brand value. They want it to be different from a domestic T20 tournament.

Samit Patel doesn't maintain brand value. Having up and coming young players will maintain your brand value.

Samit Patel wasn't selected for England due to his awful fitness levels. That isn't good for brand value.

 

[Hasan123]

Exactly. We need them players (i.e AB) and even if there are 10 of them i am fine. But, what annoys me is seeing these useless players who are absolute rubbish.

Fully agree. Also when they hog key positions it annoys me further.

 

[Titan24]

Then Play 2 like Big Bash.

Yes can be done but, its working for PCB and franchises so they dont wanna change it I guess.

 

[Khan12]

Yes can be done but, its working for PCB and franchises so they dont wanna change it I guess.

Yes it definitely is when players like samit, salt etc are selected and someone like saud is benched.

 

[Titan24]

Samit Patel doesn't maintain brand value. Having up and coming young players will maintain your brand value.

Samit Patel wasn't selected for England due to his awful fitness levels. That isn't good for brand value.

Agreed but, 4 overseas gives impression of it being different from other local T20 tournaments.

 

[Hasan123]

I think I may lose my mind if Shinwari plays instead of Junaid in the next ODI series. Junaid isn't perfect but he is better than Shinwari.

 

[Titan24]

Yes it definitely is when players like samit, salt etc are selected and someone like saud is benched.

They are also interested in the revenue and increase in brand value every year which they are achieving.

 

[Hasan123]

Agreed but, 4 overseas gives impression of it being different from other local T20 tournaments.

It's better to have 1 or 2 elite overseas players than 4 average /unknown overseas talent.

 

[Titan24]

Junaid bowling beautifully. Was really impressive even in CT middle overs when bowl started to reverse a little.

 

[Khan12]

Fully agree. Also when they hog key positions it annoys me further.

And then people complain where are our young batsmen. They are watching it at home or being benched. When then get an opportunity the team is either in trouble or they need to score over 12+ an over. When they can't people lecture us we don't have batsmens. All these oversees batmen hold the top order. Did you see moores yesterday specially the ball he missed from amir even tail ender wont miss it by much. Due to him someone like Umar Sadiq has to warm bench.

 

[Titan24]

It's better to have 1 or 2 elite overseas players than 4 average /unknown overseas talent.

Yes but its happening in other leagues as well. Not sure if Shinwari who was 1 out of maybe 2 overseas players is a well known face in Australia and if he increased BBL’s brand value.

Other than IPL which has a separate window all teams struggle a bit with availability of players.

 

[Khan12]

They are also interested in the revenue and increase in brand value every year which they are achieving.

From playing samit etc. Right.

 

[Khan12]

It's better to have 1 or 2 elite overseas players than 4 average /unknown overseas talent.

This.

 

[Hasan123]

Yes but its happening in other leagues as well. Not sure if Shinwari who was 1 out of maybe 2 overseas players is a well known face in Australia and if he increased BBL’s brand value.

Other than IPL which has a separate window all teams struggle a bit with availability of players.

Other franchises hire scouts and look around other T20 leagues for players. I think some of the PSL selections are due to friendships.

 

[Titan24]

From playing samit etc. Right.

From whatever reason they are achieving it, they dont want to change the formula obviously.

 

[Hasan123]

Umar Siddiq should be keeping in all the games.
