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

[Prince of Pakistan]

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

What's fake? These are all very good actors skills wise. Fahad Mustafa being the best of them. Fahad has done some crazy and difficult roles.

 

[Rayyman]

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.

That rate won't be acceptable at the WC

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.

His technique is not that solid. Remember how Hasan got him out?

With scores of

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

In his last 5 ODIs?

Yeah not one innings with 95+ SR

 

[Slim]

Thats a six.

 

[shariqnoor]

Umar Akmal bottling it as usual. I've never seen him playing a world class innings when needed.

Wt20 semi-final innings against Australia is the only noteworthy innings he has played under pressure. And that was almost 9 years ago.

 

[Anchorman]

It's Shehzad's world and we're all just living in it.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

that shot deserves a spot in WC

 

[Rayyman]

that shot deserves a spot in WC

Welcome back

 

[Mamoon]

One six and Shinwari loses the script as usual.

 

[Slim]

WTH Rameez. Calm the heck down.

 

[babajee]

Uks )

 

[Slim]

One six and Shinwari loses the script as usual.

Wahab Riaz v2.

 

[Rayyman]

Uks )

Let's be real bro Imam can't play fast like Shehzad

 

[Slim]

DJ Bravo should retire after this PSL. He doneee

 

[Titan24]

Selecting Shinwari over Rauf is as criminal as Yasir over Umer Khan

 

[babajee]

Wahab Riaz v2.

I'd take Wahab of old over UKS any day.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Wahab Riaz v2.

M Sami V3

U Gul v5

Pakistan has produced many of them.

 

[Slim]

Let's be real bro Imam can't play fast like Shehzad

Agree. Thats why Shehzad should play 1 down. I have argued this before as well. Babar should open to utilize PP as hes best at that. What do you think [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]?

 

[Asif321]

lol Shahzad behaving like joker

 

[MABA]

Shinwari...

 

[babajee]

Let's be real bro Imam can't play fast like Shehzad

Yeah, Shehzad's 32 average at 72 strike rate is truly world class. Let's get him back into the side.

 

[Slim]

3 sixes in an over.

 

[Titan24]

Let's be real bro Imam can't play fast like Shehzad

Hi might not be able to hit power shots like Shehzad but his defense is better than Shehzad which is equally important when you are playing in the top 3 in ODIs especially with the vulnerable middle order that Pak posses.

 

[Asif321]

Bravo helping Karachi

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Shenwari with his usual death over ability

 

[Rayyman]

Poor guy UKS

 

[babajee]

Smacking Usman Khan Shinwari is not an achievement. It's standard affair.

 

[nitrous]

This should be the end of Shinwari ever playing for Pakistan!

 

[Rayyman]

Hi might not be able to hit power shots like Shehzad but his defense is better than Shehzad which is equally important when you are playing in the top 3 in ODIs especially with the vulnerable middle order that Pak posses.

Maybe on a swinging pitch but not current LOI cricket

 

[Asif321]

Can’t beleive shinwari is playing for Pakistan
No way he should be in WC squad

 

[Slim]

Cmon DJ, let Shehzad get his century now.

 

[Titan24]

Why couldnt Rauf get a chance over Shinwari?

Shinwari is definitely struggling, I dont know its his back or what but his yorkers which he bowled in season 2 of PSL are nowhere near to be see.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

This should be the end of Shinwari ever playing for Pakistan!

Only if Aussies smash him out of the park.

 

[MRSN]

This should be the end of Shinwari ever playing for Pakistan!

He is in the squad for Aus series.lol

 

[Slim]

This should be the end of Shinwari ever playing for Pakistan!

Hes been selected for the Aus series.

 

[Goharn]

I feel really bad for Shinwari but he shouldn't in any circumstance play WC or even Australia series. Get Rauf in!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shinwari and Sohail losing it for Karachi here

 

[MABA]

Okay guys this match is done.

 

[Slim]

Karachi kings getting pounded in front of their home crowd btw.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

game over for Karachi. Ground support go in vain

 

[Rayyman]

Why couldnt Rauf get a chance over Shinwari?

Shinwari is definitely struggling, I dont know its his back or what but his yorkers which he bowled in season 2 of PSL are nowhere near to be see.

I'll take Rahat over UKS tbh

 

[Mueez]

Gotta say feel bad for Shinwari.

Used to be a different bowler pre-injury.

 

[Titan24]

Maybe on a swinging pitch but not current LOI cricket

He showed his importance in Pakistani team by winning man of the series in SA in his very first tour.

He is just 23, what makes us assume that he cant develop shots and improve further. His basics are right and he just need to develop on that.

Shehzad definitely has put his hand up for the 3rd opener if there is any.

 

[Slim]

LOL DJ Bravo is a disaster.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Mohammad Amir would have won the game for KHI.

 

[Asif321]

Bravo is useless

 

[Slim]

LOL @ Wasim

DJ Bravo retire hurt ho ja bhai. You suck.

 

[MRSN]

Okay guys this match is done.

Not yet

 

[Titan24]

Shehzad saved his best for too later considering the national team selection happened couple of days ago

 

[Slim]

Shouldnt have let him take the single. DJ Bravo is going to lose this for Quetta.

 

[Rana]

Deny the single off the last ball Shazzy

 

[Slim]

Shehzad saved his best for too later considering the national team selection happened couple of days ago

Its a home series. We should be able to make adjustments.

 

[Asif321]

What stupidity is bravo doing 4 dots
Shahzad hardwork going in vain

 

[MRSN]

What stupidity is bravo doing 4 dots
Shahzad hardwork going in vain

He wants Shehzad ton

 

[Asif321]

Match losing over by bravo. Heck even tannu must have done better

 

[shariqnoor]

No way can Yamin and Shinwari of all people can defend this.

 

[Slim]

Come on Shehzad. Hog the strike, no pressure. Hit it aram sai, lad.

 

[Mamoon]

Agree. Thats why Shehzad should play 1 down. I have argued this before as well. Babar should open to utilize PP as hes best at that. What do you think [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]?

It is a good idea. Batting at 3 can potentially improve his rotation.

 

[asadee]

Why isnt Imad bowling Iftikhar??

 

[Slim]

He wants Shehzad ton

Not really. He cannot even touch the ball. He cannot even help him self. Hack.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Karachi lol

 

[Titan24]

Its a home series. We should be able to make adjustments.

Cant drop someone as it wouldnt be fair to the player but definitely can be added as 17th member.

 

[Asif321]

How can bravo be so poor with so much experience

 

[ManFan]

That rate won't be acceptable at the WC

His technique is not that solid. Remember how Hasan got him out?

Yeah not one innings with 95+ SR

SR is not everything.

An opener averaging 50+ at a SR of 80+ allows for a great platform to be set.

Fakhar is allowed to play without unnecessary risk-taking and Babar not having to resort to a defensive mindset as soon as he walks in.

Hafeez, Malik, Sarfraz, these guys cannot be trusted to build an innings with pressure from the start. They need a stepping stone to attack from and Imam provides that.

 

[Rayyman]

Shehzad and Akmal lost Pakistan T20 WC and they'll lose them this game as well

 

[Slim]

BANG. Six. Shehzad.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why isnt Imad bowling Iftikhar??

Bowl him now?

 

[ManFan]

Gotta say feel bad for Shinwari.

Used to be a different bowler pre-injury.

Had the same brain before and after.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Viv Richards on his feet for Shahzad

 

[Slim]

Well, i am glad DJ is out. Hack gone

Should not be selected for any future games.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That is out

 

[MABA]

Man all Karachi pasht bowlers are so brain dead.

 

[ManFan]

Difference between Pakistani pitches and UAE are evident here.

UAE hinders more than helps Pakistan in LOI and to an extent in Tests (pacers).

 

[Mamoon]

Good wicket for Gladiators.

 

[MRSN]

How can bravo be so poor with so much experience

Cricket is his part time profession. He is a singer these days

 

[GreenKnightRises]

remind me the Shehzad of Bangladesh Premier League 1

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Karachi erupts again in attendance

 

[Asif321]

Thank god bravo gone

 

[Rayyman]

SR is not everything.

An opener averaging 50+ at a SR of 80+ allows for a great platform to be set.

Hafeez, Malik, Sarfraz, these guys cannot be trusted to build an innings with pressure from the start. They need a stepping stone to attack from and Imam provides that.

I'd rather have Haris at #4 than Imam opening.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cricket is his part time profession. He is a singer these days

He's always been a singer who plays a bit of cricket for money for his singing career.

 

[Asif321]

Why are Karachi celebrating bravo wicket )
