Okay, glad you have your excuses ready now. 'Pathetic pitch', nothing to do with the batters of course. Let's wait until both sides have batted on it.

Are you done hating on Talat yet? He already has 2x the strike rate of Shadab who you keep praising and hailing as a batting hero.

Double standards.

We've pointed out faults in Shadab's batting. Which are evident right now.
 
Umar Khan shld get himself forced out of KK and so shld Zafar Gohar... both KK and United are wasting 2 excellent spinners bcz of "self projection" of their ****** captains...

Lahore and Zalmi shld pick them both.. Zafar Gohar shld come back to Qalandars

I don't hail Shadab as a hero. I have simply stated that he has been brilliant and Islu's best batsman this season. Who cares how he starts if he scores consistently at 160+.

Talat is batting at 135. Hardly earth shattering.
 
Shadab ruinning our batting again.

WTH!!

Now a collapse.
 
Poor batting from both of them. Each scoring at a run a ball during that partnership and not able to get the boundaries.
 
Ban KHI from hosting PSL matches.

There should be a system. One poor pitch = ban from one match.
 
Ingram missed even a Free Hit and there were calls for him to bat early as if it would have made any difference.

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] - like I said, Ingram struggles.

I already pointed out that he's batting in the middle-order so doesn't usually blast right away like Munro or Ronchi ;-)

You have pretty unrealistic expectations from some batsmen, while for others there's a lot of leeway...

Pitches have been pretty good this season, only a few have been sluggish. No big deal, can't have a belter for every game.

All KHI pitches have been 3rd class since the return to KHI. 3 matches in a row.

So why criticise Shadab coming in early, there is no one else who would do better than the contribution he made in previous games?

Ingram coming early can help. As he does take some balls to set. Also, Talat (good to send him early).
 
Misbah just came on screen. Someone check up on [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] quickly... he might have passed out with the excitement.
 
So Misbah says Islu have played good cricket and rain is the reason they have only won 3 games....
 
Arshad iqbal bowls the perfect test length. Good to see his pace him high 130s as well.
 
[MENTION=144683]Forum363[/MENTION] - Thank you for the concern and the obsession with me. :najam
 
Chachu ifti looks not an age below 45 today. Well done to the senior citizen getting the wicket of talat.
 
And Talat completely miscues it. Once again, loses all shape when trying to hit.

So 37 runs at a 123 strike rate. He batted decently today but just not suited to t20. Every big shot he played except the reverse sweeps looked forced.
 
I hope Asif Ali can hit some big ones for Entrrtainment sake but I doubt there be more than two.
 
Although i want United to win, i won't be sad it they lose because this is what they deserve for sacking Dean Jones and making Misbah the coach.
 
Ronchi leaves and Islamabad united looks like a club level team. When you leave team to Misbah this disaster happens.
 
And to think, [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] was saying Shadab is holding back all this talent by batting higher up. Funny how no one else has batted well for Islu this season in the middle / lower order.

They have been rubbish even with Ronchi. 3 wins from 9 games. Misbah should get an award for how he's managed to destroy a champion team like this.
 
Why did Islamabad United need 6.5 bowling options today? Musa, Rumman, Akif, Faheem, Zafar, Shadab, Talat. Batting is thin, needed another batsman.

Shadab is the 3rd highest scorer with highest strike rate. But let's blame him. Clueless PP experts.

Clown misbah is to blame specially you can consider asif ali only plays due to being misbahs friend.

Badar really should have been playing.

Genius Misbah with his non - sensical decisions. Is there any statistics for the most number of changes to the playing 11? Islu seem to be changing the order every game. Most of the changes make no sense either.

Yeah apparently he hurts the team because he takes a few balls to get going.

....So instead Ingram should bat higher up because he takes some balls to get set. :imad [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] logic lol.
 
Faheem lost us matches with his bowling.

Now today with his pathetic running.
