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

[TeymurBlake]

Daniel Christian what a performer he is.

 

[Ahmed216]

Boring T20

 

[Titan24]

Looks like taking IPL name is not allowed.

Lol! I think you are looking too much into it. He wasnt able to take all the names if I am not wrong as there are quite a few

 

[Hasan123]

Powerful shot from Azam Khan.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Azam looks sluggish. Very slow movement. Would struggle against express pace.
Nabi looks unfit as well.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Azam Khan needs to work on his running.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pathetic stuff from azam khan.that was Nawaz call

Nawaz's call doesnt mean that was a safe run. Nawaz was jist running for everything

 

[Shams123]

Danny Morrison named all the franchise teams Dan Christian playerld but deliberately ignored his IPL team name. Not sure why? Looks like taking IPL name is not allowed.

Nope. This is not the case at all. Ramiz in the very first over mentioned that gayle has been very sucessful at number 3 in IPL.

PSL is not like ipl in which kp cannot even tell about his psl innings to shastri.

 

[shamaan]

Nawaz's call doesnt mean that was a safe run. Nawaz was jist running for everything

He ran half way and back

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Definitely better than Sarfaraz opening when there are 3 specialist top order batsmen available

Also this way you have a hitter with an accumulator one after one not all hitters or accumulators together.

 

[Titan24]

I guess for some fans if they dont see tons of 4s and 6s, the match becomes boring for them. I personally dont mind, bowling team having a sniff as well

 

[shamaan]

Nawaz's call doesnt mean that was a safe run. Nawaz was jist running for everything

Azam was ball watching which cost nawaz his wicket

 

[Nado_]

Risky run regardless as it went straight to the fielder.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Ben Cutting smoked that.

 

[Titan24]

Nawaz couldnt even show much anger towards Azam due to obvious reason of head coach being related to him.

 

[Titan24]

These two need to bat through. Shinwari on a good day can hit a bit as well

 

[Ahmed216]

Azam was ball watching which cost nawaz his wicket

Yes he was ball watching to see how far it was from the fielder. I think he never said yes to nawazs call. I may be wrong

 

[shah_1]

It was clearly Azam Khan’s fault

 

[MenInG]

Moin Khan not happy with Azam's running am sure.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Has Arshad Iqbal lost any weight since last PSL. He looks the same.

 

[Saj]

Don't think Moin was too happy.

Nawaz moved about 35 yards, Azam moved about 35 millimetres.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

I will come back to this post after 10 overs of chase.

How about now instead?

 

[Rajdeep]

Should give M.Nabi a ball. He is a terrific t20 bowler.

 

[shamaan]

Yes he was ball watching to see how far it was from the fielder. I think he never said yes to nawazs call. I may be wrong

Defonitely azam at fault even if he didnt call

 

[OldWarHorse]

The run out took its toll on young Azam

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Karachi all over Quetta

 

[TeymurBlake]

Azam Khan gone and fell for the trap, just like Saim Ayub.

 

[Hasan123]

Some awful batting from QG.

 

[NauV]

Don't think Moin was too happy.

Nawaz moved about 35 yards, Azam moved about 35 millimetres.

So sad, isn't it! I don't even know how to describe what I feel but still be polite . .
Such ability with the bat . . Pak could really use someone of that skillset . . but you just can't be playing international cricket with that stature

 

[Saj]

Awful slog by Azam.

Really poor innings this by QG.

 

[Titan24]

Got Nawaz run out and now goes himself. Poor first match for Azam Khan

 

[shamaan]

Poor stuff from azam

 

[last_knight]

How about now instead?

Below par score but still you will see what I meant.

 

[Omer2002]

As i said quetta has pretty awful batting line up

 

[hafeezrocks]

Cutting is very dangerous batsman in the BBL..should bring on Amir to bowl.at him, will be an interesting battle.

 

[Devadwal]

Watched few over ,no excited whatsoever .boring cricket by QG . when will be LQ match ?

 

[Firebat]

The mix-up between Azam and Nawaz:

[Titan24]

Arshad Iqbal with figures of 1-4 in 2 overs till now

 

[hafeezrocks]

Cutting is a mighty Six hitter in the BBL.

 

[Titan24]

Cutting is the only hope for QG to go around 130-40 mark

 

[world cup captain]

Quetta is such a boring team with Sarfraz as the leader.

Islamabad should have been playing the opening match.

 

[Saj]

The run out took its toll on young Azam

He seemed to be breathing heavily after the walk from the dugout to the middle.

 

[Darkrai]

Not a fan of Quetta but still want a competitive score.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Ben Cutting has to play an important knock now, use all his experience and get Quetta to 150.

 

[Ahmed216]

Impressive arshad Iqbal.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

He seemed to be breathing heavily after the walk from the dugout to the middle.

Looks like gained more weight too

 

[Omer2002]

The spinning talent of the Afganis is amazing and they can all bat.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Arshad Iqbal is bowling well. Just need to work on his fitness.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Sharjeel Khan slow.

 

[shamaan]

Arshad keeping nice and simple

 

[TeymurBlake]

Ben Cutting gone.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Takes decent skills to get rid of someone like cutting.

 

[Titan24]

Good bowling from Arshad. 140.9 kph and destroyed the stumps of Cutting

 

[hafeezrocks]

Not a match between two balanced sides so a one sided contest is obvious.

 

[shamaan]

140kph beatiful line and length

 

[Titan24]

Would like to see Arshad evolve into National setup in atleast couple of formats in next couple of years

 

[LeedsGreen]

Hes right. This is boring.

yes as quetta have batted poorly- money spent on advertising is irrelevant to that

 

[shariqnoor]

Arshad Iqbal isn't a world beater but he keeps things really simple for himself. Decent option in T20s. Definitely a notch above Musa, Naseem, Rauf in T20s.

 

[Titan24]

Ben Cutting went too early for the big shots. He was batting with tail, should have waited till last 3 overs or so

 

[Deewana Mastana]

People seem to be dissing the pitch on SM is it that bad?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ben Cutting went too early for the big shots. He was batting with tail, should have waited till last 3 overs or so

Played an awful shot to get out especially when he was the last recognized batter left with 5 overs in hand too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Arshad Iqbal isn't a world beater but he keeps things really simple for himself. Decent option in T20s. Definitely a notch above Musa, Naseem, Rauf in T20s.

Everytime I watch him play, reminds me of those old WI bowlers with that action of his and run up.

Would work in Tests too.

 

[LeedsGreen]

People seem to be dissing the pitch on SM is it that bad?

pitch is absolutely fine- looks a good surface decent bounce and pace

 

[Titan24]

Played an awful shot to get out especially when he was the last recognized batter left with 5 overs in hand too.

Absolutely. Poor game awareness from Cutting in this match and he generally is pretty good in such situations

 

[Ahmed216]

Proving to be LSL( Low standard league) so far

 

[TeymurBlake]

Is it me or does Usman Shinwari look buff.

 

[Titan24]

pitch is absolutely fine- looks a good surface decent bounce and pace

This. Ball is coming onto the bat pretty well and there is good pace in the wicket. It just poor batting and execution.

 

[Ahmed216]

Everytime I watch him play, reminds me of those old WI bowlers with that action of his and run up.

Would work in Tests too.

His action helps him make good use of his height. Varies length as well

 

[Justcrazy]

106 . 8


16 overs

Quetta needs to bat out 20 overs here

 

[OldWarHorse]

Arshad Iqbal is good.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Pitch is decent for batting but Quetta Batsmen kept on playing mindless shots. First Banton started mindlessly at the top, Sarafraz followed later, Saim is a Test Batsman only Gayle batted nicely for a while and looked good at crease but got no support from the other end. Then run out of Nawaz, followed by Azam Khan and Cutting back into the hut. The innings never got going.

 

[Audrey500]

Chat gone silent once again when Amir bowls a unbelievable over. 1 run of the bat and wicket of the over.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Hasnain just gets the bat on that and smokes it for 4. Just smash the bowl as hard as they can and try to get to a competitive total.

 

[Titan24]

This pair should just try to go for singles till last over. This will allow them to go above 120 and a good hit or two can see them around 130

 

[Baigel]

He seemed to be breathing heavily after the walk from the dugout to the middle.

A bit exaggerated don't ya think?

 

[BigShak]

Hasnain can swing the bat for sure. Still remember him slogging England around in one of the ODIs

 

[Justcrazy]

If quetta bats sensibly here , they can get 130 here

 

[Titan24]

Chat gone silent once again when Amir bowls a unbelievable over. 1 run of the bat and wicket of the over.

Was bowling at tail but, nevertheless has bowled decently today

 

[BigShak]

Arshad is the kind of bowler who needs a County season or two to polish him and he’d be a very decent Test prospect.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Arshad Iqbal starting to tournament well.
