Karachi Kings [126/3] cruise to a 7 wicket win over Quetta Gladiators [121/10] to start PSL 6

[Rana]

Sarfaraz lol

 

[Titan24]

He always does, whenever he gets kick on his back

Still not the early 140s which he used to ball couple of years back though.

 

[Hasan123]

It's 2021 and people still think Sarfraz can play international cricket......

 

[Hasan]

Enjoyed the wicket celebrations!

 

[Thunderbolt14]

He is a T20 baby as T20 is the format which brought him into reckoning. However, I think if he works hard he can more than just a T20 player.

I used to be a Banton fan but over the past year I’ve realized he has zero work ethic. Been following his interviews etc. Content to play leagues at decent sums of money and skipped out on Somerset’s first possible FC trophy to sit on the IPL bench.

 

[Rana]

That was actually a really funny celebration for a guy who bowls 135

 

[shah_1]

Useless Sarfraz

 

[Titan24]

I had heard Aamer Yamin was good with new ball. I see nothing special here though...

Gets that inswing going but nothing in this match so far.

 

[Baigel]

Toba Astaghfirullah, these kids have no idea how to celebrate wickets

Embarrassing.

 

[Rana]

What was Sarfaraz trying there btw?

 

[Omer2002]

Quettas batting is very very bad and bowling on paper is explosive

 

[Titan24]

I used to be a Banton fan but over the past year I’ve realized he has zero work ethic. Been following his interviews etc. Content to play leagues at decent sums of money and skipped out on Somerset’s first possible FC trophy to sit on the IPL bench.

Interesting. These are the things which make a huge difference in terms of what a player achieves in his career.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Show more respect, 135 is the top speed of certified legend Mohammad Amir.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lucky Gayle

 

[angrypathan]

Yamin vs Gayle would be interesting

 

[Titan24]

Lets see what Saim can do at this stage.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Toba Astaghfirullah, these kids have no idea how to celebrate wickets

Embarrassing.

)

 

[liam26]

If Gayle gets dismissed cheaply this could be a one sided encounter.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What was Sarfaraz trying there btw?

Trying to be Moin Khan

 

[Rana]

Beautt of a ball

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Interesting. These are the things which make a huge difference in terms of what a player achieves in his career.

There was this one interview where he said something like “playing in the IPL was my number one dream since I was a kid”. Like... not playing for your country?

His dad is also apparently a multimillionaire and used connections to give Banton his initial shot at the Somerset trials.

 

[Rana]

Gayle finding Amir a bit too quick for him

 

[angrypathan]

Pretty awesome for Saim Ayub to be debuting with a legend like Gayle at the other end

 

[Babar_Azam_fan]

Is this test cricket league or

 

[shamaan]

Lovely celebration from Yamin

 

[Rana]

Saim Ayub

can this be our Paddikal of PSL?

 

[MenInG]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

140.5kph Amir

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Pretty awesome for Saim Ayub to be debuting with a legend like Gayle at the other end

And Amir running into bowl! Hope he does well.

 

[Omer2002]

This saim has changed his technique..which is good he was boy wonder in under 15s Nd 16s but never broke through

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saim Ayub

can this be our Paddikal of PSL?

Give the kids a break.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Saim Ayub

can this be our Paddikal of PSL?

Careful, someone might make a thread on this and that’ll ruin Saim’s career.

 

[Rana]

Amir 140.5

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is this test cricket league or

This isn't IPL

 

[Titan24]

Saim Ayub

can this be our Paddikal of PSL?

Unfortunately we dont play our young ones in top order. Atleast he is not being asked to bat at no 7 or something but, would like to see him in top 3.

 

[shamaan]

What’s with these idiotic celebrations.

Lovely celebration

 

[Watsupdoc]

All Saim has done so far is block the ball...

 

[Thunderbolt14]

This saim has changed his technique..which is good he was boy wonder in under 15s Nd 16s but never broke through

One of the top run scorers in U19 this season too.

 

[moghul]

Gayle looks fitter than last tile I saw him .

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Sarfraz is really desperate to prove Hafeez wrong. The reason he is suddenly opening.

Never opened the batting in PSL during his peak years.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

All Saim has done so far is block the ball...

He’s played 4 balls, couple wickets have fallen. Bigger issue is Gayle’s tuk tuk.

 

[Rana]

Quetta is boring. Where is Azam Khan?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Gayle storm in Karachi )

 

[Titan24]

His dad is also apparently a multimillionaire and used connections to give Banton his initial shot at the Somerset trials.

Came easy for Benton and maybe thats why work ethics are not upto the level they should be.

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfraz opening ahead of Chris Gayle LOL. And some people had the nerve to say Sarfraz is the best captain since IK.

 

[angrypathan]

I did say Yamin vs Gayle would be interesting

 

[Watsupdoc]

He’s played 4 balls, couple wickets have fallen. Bigger issue is Gayle’s tuk tuk.

Gayle is at least playing shots and looking for singles and now attacking

 

[Rana]

Gayle looks fitter than last tile I saw him .

Have you seen Afridi recently? He looks 16 again

 

[HitWicket]

There was this one interview where he said something like “playing in the IPL was my number one dream since I was a kid”. Like... not playing for your country?

His dad is also apparently a multimillionaire and used connections to give Banton his initial shot at the Somerset trials.

The real quote:

“When I was growing up, the IPL was definitely something I thought I’d love to do and play for England in Test cricket as well.”

Also Banton was one of the best looking players in the international U19 setup shortly after signing for Somerset, I doubt he needed his Dad's influence to get on their books...

 

[moghul]

Gosh , only Gayle can to that , a little flick and gone for six .

 

[Firebat]

Chris Gayle wow. Barely tapped it with that tree trunk in his hands for a 6

 

[OldWarHorse]

Gayle has arrived

 

[Rana]

Yameeeeeeeen loool

 

[shamaan]

Universal Boss

 

[Titan24]

Gayle taking Yamin apart. Yamin not getting as much shape on the ball as he would have liked

 

[Rana]

18 off that over

 

[Amirforpresident]

Guys where can I watch it in Europe? Pls Im in need of some cricket

 

[angrypathan]

Maqsood is another trundler I can see Gayle taking a liking too. Maqsood is a more crafty bowler than Yamin though

 

[Hasan123]

Ayub should probably be batting in the top 3.

 

[Rana]

oh no not these dances

 

[Hasan123]

Gayle
Banton
Ayub

That should be QG top 3.

 

[angrypathan]

Ayub should probably be batting in the top 3.

If Banton continues to flop he probably will

 

[Rana]

Wow Maqsood has a very flat head from the back

 

[Titan24]

Saim looks like a stylish left hander

 

[IAJ]

Oh Bazid yaar, chupp kar ja

 

[NauV]

Guys where can I watch it in Europe? Pls Im in need of some cricket

I am watching it on the official HBL PSL stream on tapmad . .

Also, did the commentary change to Urdu for everyone?! If yes, this is stupid for audiences outside Pak . . if Sky, etc. are showing PSL, then the commentary abroad should only be in English

 

[Justcrazy]

49 . 2

6 overs

 

[Hasan123]

If Banton continues to flop he probably will

Wouldn't write Banton off after 1 game. He can be a match winner if he gets form.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Ayub looks stylish. Lets see if style meets substance

 

[Ahmed216]

Wow a proper T20 player this Saim Ayub ��

 

[Titan24]

No Nabi against lefties till now is odd

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

The quality of players is really low. Waqas and Yamin? Struggling to produce quality cricketers.

 

[angrypathan]

Wouldn't write Banton off after 1 game. He can be a match winner if he gets form.

Yeah I agree, but he didn't have a good season last year either from memory. I hope he delivers soon

 

[shamaan]

Ayub looks like a compact player

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yaar Saim please play openly. What is this tuk tuk?

 

[Rana]

Bazid is so funny.

I wish to see him and Kumail Nanjiani commentate one day

 

[angrypathan]

Ayub has the luxury of having Gayle at the other end, and he's on debut so I guess we can cut him some slack, but he can't be 6 off 10 regularly going forward

 

[Hasan123]

Ayub has a good technique. Probably not a T20 player at this stage but if he gets more first class games I can see him improving.

 

[RehanG]

Ayub looks stylish. Lets see if style meets substance

Well Imran Farhat and Umar Amin were also very stylish..

 

[Hasan123]

Yeah I agree, but he didn't have a good season last year either from memory. I hope he delivers soon

I think if he can get 1 good knock, it should get him going.
