Karachi Kings is the weakest PSL Team

[saadsahabjee]

They may look the strongest on paper but in reality the team consists of inconsistent and unproven players.

Shoaib Malik - Good captain , can't say the same about his [on and off ] batting

Shakib - Trouble Maker , hope he plays his natural game instead of showing his abusive skills.

Mushfiq - out of form

Mir hamza - still unproven against international players

Shazaib hassan - hack

Bopara - not a t20 player

Simmons - out of form

Vince - Unproven against everyone except our t20 bowlers

Amir - Only good in form player in the team

Sohail K - Injured recently don't know how he is going to perfrom after comeback.

Sir Sohail Tanveer - The less said about him the better .

All in all the team looks really weak if we analyse their current form and performances especially the lack of a power hitter like afridi , pollard , gayle , Maqsood ,watson is their biggest weakness which is going to haunt them if the opposing team made a big score, their best bet is to bowl the team out for as much less score as possible and try to chase it with their allroundish batting ...

 

[Abdul]

I would say that the Quetta Gladiators is the weakest actually.

No one in their team stands out other than Kevin Pietersen and Sarfraz Ahmed (who is yet to prove himself in the shorter format).

 

[Deosai]

Shoaib Malik - Excellent captain, good fielder and in form with the bat & can also bowl.

Mir Hamza - Talent young swing bowler

Mohammad Amir - World class bowler

Bopara - Can bowl a bit, has strong arms so he can slog.

Sohail Tanveer - One of the best (or luckiest) T20 players, has lots of experience with winning leagues

 

[nam]

oh chal bhai chal.. KK all the way!

You didn't even mention Imad Wasim who is one of the strongest limited overs player in Pakistan.

Shoaib is a good batsman and a decent option with the ball.

Shakib is a pure all-rounder which is gold in T20.

Mushfiq is a decent bat and keeper.

Bopara; well I agree about his batting, but people don't realize he is a AMAZING bowler in T20 format.

Shahzaib Hasan and Nauman Anwar are exactly the kind of big hitters needed in T20 format.

It's not a half bad team.

 

[Hamza_]

Karachi Kings is the best team followed up by ISB.

 

[Ahson8]

Lol what are you talking about ?

Dilshan
Nauman
Vince
Malik
Shakib
Mushfiq
Imad
Usama / Bhatti / Sohail Khan
Tanvir
Amir
Mir

That's a solid team.
Will have to do with Simmons when Dilshan isn't available, but still.

 

[o_ahsan99]

I think KK is a very strong team.

Shoaib Malik is one of the best captains in Pakistan and watching the draft, he seems to be part of the core management, which will allow him to execute his game plans.

KK's bowling is exceptional. Shakib and Imad are very good bowlers even at international T20 level so expect them to do well in PSL. Amir was exceptinal in BPL and I expect him to improve as he plays more. Sohail Tanverr has been very successful in T20 leagues around the world and even though he does not deserve to be representing Pakistan, he is still a good option for PSL. Shosib is the fifth bowler. He has recently done well in UAE conditions and consistently bowls well in Pakistan domestic. Shoaib may not light the world on fire but is acceptable as the fifth bowling option for a PSL level team. We should also consider the conditions. The games are being plaeyed in UAE, which has only 3 stadiums that will be holding all the 20 something games. This mean that after the first 7 to 10 games, the wickets will have a lot of wear and tear and the spinners will enjoy bowling on them and with Imad, Shakib and Malik; KK is covered in this department.So this takes care of bowling.

Mushfiq is a solid keeper so no issues over there.

Now comes the batting. This is where it gets a bit tricky. In Shoaib Malik KK has one of the best middle order batman in Pakistan's domestic cricket. He scores big runs consistently, finishes a lot of games and not only does he play spinners well, he can hit them for lots of sixes too. Shakib is a genuine allrounder who has scored runs at international level against all teams so he is good for the middle order. Beyond this I think a lot will depend on the performance of two specific local players. While playing for Pakistan, Imad Wasim has shown that he can be a decent bat at number 7 or 8, but Imad considers himself a genuine allrounder and scores lots of runs in domestic cricket. PSL will be a great opportunity for Imad to bat at 5 or 6 and prove himself as a genuine batsman. If Imad can score the same amount of runs that he scores in domestic cricket, then the KK middle order will be on fire. The other impotant player is Nauman Anwar. KK certainly miss the fire power of Umer Akmal, Afridi, Sammy or Andre Russell in the middle order but if Nauman can have a good PSL, then he can provide strong starts at the top and let Shoaib Malik steer the boat from there. Add to this the experience of Mushfiq and Lendl Simmons and KK's batting looks good.

All in all, I think KK has a very strong team that should do well with bowling being their main strength.

Just because you hate Amir, doesn't mean they're the most hated

 

[zabalestmsm]

Even if strong, it will choke anyways...

 

[msb314]

I would say that the Quetta Gladiators is the weakest actually.

No one in their team stands out other than Kevin Pietersen and Sarfraz Ahmed (who is yet to prove himself in the shorter format).

They have also have Sanga, Shehzad and Luke Wright (the latter two although lack consistency but can be very effective when they come off)

 

[AZ]

their batting lineup certainly looks quite average.

[hussain.r97]

Lol what? Karachi has a good, well balanced team.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The best team out there.

Malik
shakib
mushfiq
imad wasim
Amir
Mir hamza
Usama mir
Mohammad Amir

They all are very good players.

 

[FreakCricket]

Nice attempt OP to underrate your team

 

[DesiPassion]

i think islamabad is the weakest team! After they appointed Misbah as captain #tuktuk

 

[#GreenRoars]

KK strongest team tbh.

 

[Saqs]

Yet we will see them there in the finals because Malik is captain and is the only one domestically who knows what he is doing as captain in T20s.

Since you are so big on "Honesty" nowadays, come'on tell us the truth today honestly, Who are you really ? not what we know but the truth ? and who are your buddies amoungst the Cricketers ? or amongst their close buddies? Lets be "honest" ourselves too.

 

[Sami92]

Peshwar is the weakest for me. For Karachi Kings, Bopara was a bad pick, inconsistent as a pro. Ryder would have been a better pick.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

If Karachi team is weak, the other teams are garbages found inside the team huddle

 

[Energetic]

Who the hell is Mushfiq? I agree. It's actually a bad team. The team that will actually win it is the one that has Mustafizur. Pretty dumb to have 5 teams with only 4 qualifying. Minimum 6. When does it start?

 

[aloo paratha]

What you smoking? Karachi has the best team!

Mushfiqur Rahim lol,

 

[AZ]

Lahore and Karachi are the weakest teams, they have the worst bowling and batting respectively.

Supporting Islamabad, are we now?

no, Lahore all the way but I can't deny that our bowling looks rubbish.

 

[zabalestmsm]

But...lahore has more swag

Actually Quetta

 

[kassana420]

no, Lahore all the way but I can't deny that our bowling looks rubbish.

Oh, cool.
Yes, I was disappointed in Lahore's bowling selections too.
But tell you what, even if 3 out of 5 batsmen click for Lahore, they will destroy any bowling lineup. The chances of all of them failing at once isn't possible really. So, I still have hope that we can do it.

 

[kassana420]

Actually Quetta

Two words: Gangam style.
End of story.
I'm out

I think we got it the first time.

[umer187]

They arfe probably the strongest tbh

This is your individual opinion

 

[umer187]

Just because you hate Amir, doesn't mean they're the most hated

and malik

 

[Naim]

Kia pi ke aaya hai bhai. Kk is the most strongest team in psl

 

[Professor]

and the most hated aswell

Why would they be the most hated?

 

[faizanj]

Don't know about the squad but they genuinely have the worst social media team

 

[saadsahabjee]

So i was right , team almost choked initially against lahore and lost the other two games .

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Massive blunder by not sending Usama.Mir ahead of Bangash.

Usama is a striker and would have won the match. Sohail Tanvir also always wastes deliveries.

[tigersfan1990]

What I like about PSL so far is that with just 5 sides, each team has many international players. The talent is not spread too thin.

 

[ahmed16]

They appear to have too many utility players and not enough specialists and they're relying on utility players to make up 12 overs too. Ideally they could drop Vince and Bangash, bring in Mushfiqur Rahim and accomodate another specialist bowler. Luckily they aren't out of it yet.

I wouldn't say they are the weakest. They've got alot of good t20 players. Their team make up is just wrong atm.

They could have won todays match if Amir hadnt wasted a few deliveries after he had hit the four. Bopara would have finished it, he's a class act.

 

[coy0607]

So i was right , team almost choked initially against lahore and lost the other two games .

you're clearly not right since they're not at the bottom of the points table

and how did they choke against Lahore?!?
they beat Lahore by 7 wickets and over 4 overs to spare.. thats about as comprehensive as a T20 win gets

if anything they were 3 runs away from being at 2 wins

 

[mosh101]

The team with most hype normally fails to deliver !

Still early days but I hope they can bounce back strong !

 

[Asadullah]

I too mentioned in the KK threat its the worst team. No genuine spinner, no pacer, no power hitter. Picking Malik, Tanvir, Bopara, Simmons, Vince as your top 5 players was always asking for trouble

Amir the only strong suit.

And [MENTION=138379]#GreenRoars[/MENTION] was like, its a good team

 

[pasha404]

can't beleive they are not playing Mushfiq.they were badly exposed today

 

[Harpoon]

can't beleive they are not playing Mushfiq.they were badly exposed today

Karachi should have played Mushfiq from day one. But they won the first game and then decided not to change the squad.

However now that karachi are losing, they can make changes and im sure Mushfiq will be in the lineup for the next game.

 

[saadsahabjee]

Lineup should be

S.Hasan
Simmons
Imad
Shakib
Mushfiq
Malik
Bopara
S.tanvir
S.khan
Amir
Usama

 

[sunnykhan]

Lineup should be

S.Hasan
Simmons
Imad
Shakib
Mushfiq
Malik
Bopara
S.tanvir
S.khan
Amir
Usama

Same as I suggested in the other thread. Drop Iftikhar or Bangash for Mushfiq and drop Vince for Shahzaib. Mushfiq is a very good player of spin. Bizarre decision to leave him out.

 

[Suleiman]

Lineup should be

S.Hasan
Simmons
Imad
Shakib
Mushfiq
Malik
Bopara
S.tanvir
S.khan
Amir
Usama

I'd have Bopara higher tbh. Imad at 3 is alright once or twice, but I think we need Mushfiq or Bopara higher up, they're more specialized as t20 hitters.

I'd only tamper with Imad at 3 if we are chasing a big total and need quick runs. Vince opening is fine, he's a good player scored a lot of runs in UAE vs Pak A.

Yeah a lot of Karachiites knew we were a tukka team, 50-50 chance of us working or flopping. Idk how we got hyped so much.

ARY ka jaadoo.

 

[hur rizvi]

Qalandars are the most bekaar team, will keep on losing unless Gayle clicks

 

[Suleiman]

Why would they be the most hated?

Ignore him. He has something against Karachi, no idea why. Some people take these city rivalries waaay too seriously instead of just for banter and general competition.

It's ironic that his role model is such a gentlemanly and humble player yet he posts such bitter content at times.

 

[sunnykhan]

These pitches are more slower so Vince is finding difficult. Plus, A-team didn't had a sound attack as these teams do.

 

[Asif khan]

Bopara looks the best bat, yet he comes in at number 7. I would definitely send him in top 4, maybe 3.

They'll start winning from 10th.

We don't have many choices as opener. It's either Nauman or him. Vince is a better player between the 2.

We picked weird batsmen in the draft

First time I am let down by cricket mastermind

Shahzaib can be definitely tried as both are failing so far.

 

[saadsahabjee]

whre is dilshan ??

i think kk purchased him as well

 

[sunnykhan]

He will join them after their series with India.

 

[Executioner]

Maybe they should stop trying to get Simmons run out

 

[super hitter]

Karachi Kings is the strongest team except the fact that recently they have not worked upon the starting 11 quite well...yeah the match against gladiators was quite a straight win but the last match against United was were they really proved that they are the strongest team!(fact)

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Bopara - not a t20 player

Peshwar is the weakest for me. For Karachi Kings, Bopara was a bad pick, inconsistent as a pro. Ryder would have been a better pick.

Hmmm....

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

After the Zalmi they have the best T20 players. It's just that they haven't been playing their best team.

With Aamir and Simmons back they'll have their best team and results will farther improve. Look at the impact Usama and Sohail are having and they have missed like 2/3 games which is a pity.

 

[AG93]

They've the weakest captain.

Bopara is the lucky charm

 

[saadsahabjee]

Told u guys .

 

[Abdullah719]

OP looking like a genius now.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hehehe, hilarious.

 

[srh]

OP was right on mark

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Worst Captain

 

[waleed88]

Karachi had the strongest squad (debatable) with the weakest captain...

An army of lions led by a jackal will only give you failiures..

 

[dhump]

OP looking like a genius now.

None of his predictions are true actually.

 

[dhump]

Told u guys .

Whatever you told use was mostly wrong.

Malik was horrible as captain.

Bopara was best T20 player one of the best in PSL.

Simmons did well mosf the times.

Amir was not a match winner.

and what about shahzaib , vince , tanvir etc
it is not a competition about how many predictions of mine will be correct , the main theme of the thread is karachi is the weakest which they have proved and i was right from the beginning .

 

[Abdullah719]

None of his predictions are true actually.

I didn't actually check, just went with the title of the thread.

 

[dhump]

Shahzaid,Tanvir are proven failures dont take Nostradamus to predict anything for them...Although Shahzaib played 2 matches did well in 1 and bad in 2nd..what about rest ??.

I dont think you were right from the begging as your reasoning was flawed..If you wanna say "mera tukka lag gaya" to yeah I agree your reasons were all quite wrong.
