Karachi Kings defeat Quetta Gladiators by 1 run to qualify for the play-off stage

[SarfiBabarHaris]

If Mickey was the reason behind Hasnain's inclusion as some has informed here why couldnt he pursue the case for Umer Khan who is playing for his side over Yasir Shah?

I doubt Mickey was the reason. He hasnt given us a single new player in 4 years from karachi kings.

Umer should have been selected.

 

[Slim]

One more chance for us to see the meme pair to see on strike together. Legendary stuff.

Is umar akmal going to struggle again today?

 

[imshally81]

 

[imshally81]

Umer khan is a wicket taker bowler... We need him..

 

[Asif321]

So Lahore going out , Karachi gona win thsi

 

[imshally81]

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Umer khan is a wicket taker bowler... We need him..

Still shocked about the fact that Yasir Shah is there.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Umar Akmal is in the form of his life.

 

[MRSN]

and yasir can bat?

He is an all rounder

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ahmed Bradmanzad

 

[Slim]

3 consecutive 50s for shehzad

 

[Mamoon]

Shehzad should have been picked for the Australian series instead of geezer Abid.

 

[Titan24]

I doubt Mickey was the reason. He hasnt given us a single new player in 4 years from karachi kings.

Umer should have been selected.

He gave chance to Shinwari

 

[Titan24]

Umer khan is mediocre.

What makes you say that? Have taken the wicket of every top batsmen in PSL including Rocnhi, Watson, Anderson, Russouw.

 

[mak36]

Mickey needs to realise the value of spinners. Usama Mir is rotting on the bench whilst Sohail Khan and Shinwari are repeatedly giving chances despite being spanked out of the bowling attack.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

He gave chance to Shinwari

Yar Shinwari was selected from misbah time when he bamboozled his team in a National t20 cup and Misbah was very impressed.

 

[mak36]

What makes you say that. Have taken the wicket of every top batsmen in PSL including Rocnhi, Watson, Anderson, Russouw.

Oh, and a certain AB.

Umer needs to look to spin it more though.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Shehzad should have been picked for the Australian series instead of geezer Abid.

Agreed but problem is once the colours are on, he seems to go back to the Misbah school of life.

 

[mak36]

Yar Shinwari was selected from misbah time when he bamboozled his team in a National team cup and Misbah was very impressed.

To be fair to Mickey, he was the one who gave Shinwari a second chance.

The time you are referencing, he was dropped after one game (pre-Mickey era).

 

[Mamoon]

Agreed but problem is once the colours are on, he seems to go back to the Misbah school of life.

Sooner or later he will get another shot at redemption, and the Australian series was a good opportunity.

 

[Titan24]

Shehzad should have been picked for the Australian series instead of geezer Abid.

I havent seen much of Abid but surely Shehzad is looking in really good form

 

[imshally81]

Shinwari on.. KK game off...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I am in love with this Tapal Danedar tea

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Sooner or later he will get another shot at redemption, and the Australian series was a good opportunity.

He should, he at least has shown promise in a change in attitude.

A player like Asif Ali who is neither a batsman or bowler is easily replaced.

 

[Titan24]

Oh, and a certain AB.

Umer needs to look to spin it more though.

Yes AB as well.

He is just bowling within the requirement of T20s, I am pretty sure he will be able to spin it when he will give more air.

 

[Rayyman]

I wouldn't mind Shehzad as 3rd opener for WC but he hasn't played longer formats for about a year.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

To be fair to Mickey, he was the one who gave Shinwari a second chance.

The time you are referencing, he was dropped after one game (pre-Mickey era).

Yeah but thats what i meant in my initial post. No new unknown player from Karachi Kings has made it to Pakistani team. Shinwari was already known to swing it big.

Though Mickey has played a key role in Babar's development.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Imad should have had Iftikhar on for a few overs. Sohail Khan will only leak runs!

 

[Slim]

Sooner or later he will get another shot at redemption, and the Australian series was a good opportunity.

England series it is. I expect one of the opening options to bomb massively.

 

[Slim]

I am in love with this Tapal Danedar tea

Good to see you alive. The tea is fantastic, thankyou.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Poor batting in this over.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Maybe Shehzad would have a surprise entry to the World Cup

 

[imshally81]

Maybe Shehzad would have a surprise entry to the World Cup

Please No...

 

[Mamoon]

He should, he at least has shown promise in a change in attitude.

A player like Asif Ali who is neither a batsman or bowler is easily replaced.

Umar needs to take over from Asif. Shehzad will have to do with a backup opening role for now.

Imam has put the nepotism claims to rest, and Fakhar still has some credit left in the bank. Shehzad will have to capitalise whenever he gets an opportunity, i.e. when either Fakkhar or Imam are not playing.

 

[ManFan]

Sooner or later he will get another shot at redemption, and the Australian series was a good opportunity.

I think your sentimental attachment to Shehzad clouds your judgement towards him.

 

[MRSN]

Maybe Shehzad would have a surprise entry to the World Cup

With an Unorthodox Imam and out of form Fakher Shehzad has a strong case to play in the world cup.

 

[imshally81]

Dropped...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

form is temporary, but class is permanent

 

[imshally81]

With an Unorthodox Imam and out of form Fakher Shehzad has a strong case to play in the world cup.

We have Shan Masood too...

 

[Slim]

I think your sentimental attachment to Shehzad clouds your judgement towards him.

Irony is strong.

 

[Slim]

form is temporary, but class is permanent

Uakmal showing us that hes still poor but a better option than Asif Ali.

 

[Asif321]

Dropped lol

 

[Mamoon]

I think your sentimental attachment to Shehzad clouds your judgement towards him.

I was very critical of his attitude, but I misunderstood him.

 

[Rayyman]

With an Unorthodox Imam and out of form Fakher Shehzad has a strong case to play in the world cup.

Tbh Imam brings nothing special to the table. He's not unique. Any Shan Masood, Sami Aslam, etc. can do what he's done.

A top 3 of Fakhar, Shehzad and Babar is more flexible.

 

[Markhor]

Shehzad should have been picked for the Australian series instead of geezer Abid.

Geezer Abid did well in the recent Quaid-e-Azam one day cup, and against England Lions in the A team series.

However his best format would've been Tests. Should've played vs NZ.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

definitly aloo paratha has made a difference to 's power hitting

 

[imshally81]

 

[Titan24]

With an Unorthodox Imam and out of form Fakher Shehzad has a strong case to play in the world cup.

Imam has just won the man of the series against SA and that too in SA. He deserves his place

 

[Mamoon]

Geezer Abid did well in the recent Quaid-e-Azam one day cup, and against England Lions in the A team series.

However his best format would've been Tests. Should've played vs NZ.

He has scored runs but he is not a long-term investment.

 

[Titan24]

Umer Khan.... Yasir over him in ODIs is still a question mark

 

[Mamoon]

Fahad Mustafa is the only reason why I dislike Kings.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Criminal that they selected Yasir over Umer Khan.

 

[Rayyman]

Geezer Abid did well in the recent Quaid-e-Azam one day cup, and against England Lions in the A team series.

Am sorry bro don't need unfit uncles with Azhar Ali batting style in Pakistan team

 

[Greenstorm]

Umar again gave his wicket to left arm spinner. When will he learn

 

[mak36]

Probably.

But according to Rashid others wanted experience while Mickey thought Hasnain should be in now.

No idea what Sarfraz's role was in this.

Did he say anything about Rauf?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

With an Unorthodox Imam and out of form Fakher Shehzad has a strong case to play in the world cup.

Imam has been on a free ride for quite a sometime.
4 overs in T20's is all he has right now

 

[asadee]

Umer khan is mediocre.

Lol r u feeling OK

 

[Rayyman]

I have no clue why Malik was made captain. Imad is pretty good.

 

[Zeeraq]

Fahad Mustafa is the only reason why I dislike Kings.

Really? He has no impact(or minimal) on Karachi Kings. In a year or so he could be a brand ambassador of another team.

 

[ManFan]

I was very critical of his attitude, but I misunderstood him.

How so?

His fitness was never an issue; he just cannot score consistently at an acceptable rate up the order in Intenrational cricket.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Harris Rauf can't hit 150's frequently .

But Hasnain can ,

 

[MRSN]

Imam has just won the man of the series against SA and that too in SA. He deserves his place

The kind of batting we have Imam needs Fakher to fire otherwise it becomes very difficult for him to play his slow steady innings with Azam who himself takes time.

 

[Mamoon]

The MoS in South Africa with a hundred and two fifties in 5 games is on a “free ride”. I wonder what a “paid ride” looks like.

 

[ManFan]

Umer Khan deserves a national call up.

Yasir Shah is pure trash in LOI and has been on the decline in all departments, even in Tests as far back as late 2016.

 

[Rayyman]

How so?

His fitness was never an issue; he just cannot score consistently at an acceptable rate up the order in Intenrational cricket.

Neither can Imam bro.

 

[Mamoon]

Really? He has no impact(or minimal) on Karachi Kings. In a year or so he could be a brand ambassador of another team.

I really dislike him.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Someone, please tell me if they made the boundary length longer or if it is the same.

 

[MRSN]

I really dislike him.

He's quite fake

 

[ManFan]

Neither can Imam bro.

Imam has proven to be able to score consistently at an acceptable rate.

He averaged 54 at a SR of 82 in SA on his first tour.

 

[Titan24]

The kind of batting we have Imam needs Fakher to fire otherwise it becomes very difficult for him to play his slow steady innings with Azam who himself takes time.

In the 3rd ODI against SA he scored a century at SR of 87 and Fakhar got out for 2. Pak still scored 300 above.

I agree he needs to add but more less risk attacking shots in the long run. However, in terms of his defense and solidity he is one of the best we have and you need consistent an solid players in top 3.

 

[Slim]

Windies players are proper mercs.

 

[babajee]

Neither can Imam bro.

With scores of

86(101)
71(91)
101(116)

In his last 5 ODIs?

 

[Rayyman]

He's quite fake

So are all these Pak celebrities like Humayun Saeed and Faisal Qureshi. Mad annoying.

 

[Mamoon]

Gladiators and their bottling in Pakistan continues.

 

[Mamoon]

He's quite fake

He has the attitude of a multi Academy Award winner.

 

[Asif321]

Bravo looks out of sorts
Need Anwar Ali

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Should have sent Anwar Ali in instead of Bravo.

Big mistake from Sarfraz.

 

[mak36]

Umer Khan.... Yasir over him in ODIs is still a question mark

Criminal that they selected Yasir over Umer Khan.

Zafar should be #1 pick, but Umer definitely deserved selection ahead of Yasir (then again, that's not saying much!).

Both are smart bowlers.

 

[Slim]

He's quite fake

Agree, 100%. Doesnt even have the looks of a super star. Over-rated.

 

[Asif321]

Only Anwar can win it for Quetta here none else
