[Cheetah99]

Lahore jeetayga!

 

[super hitter]

This is the knockout to the playoffs the looser disqualifies

 

[badsha001]

Gayle not playing...

 

[Barragan]

Gayle has been dropped for Mahela. )

 

[tanveer din]

Who will win?

 

[Amirforpresident]

Lahore batting first. Irfan jr replaces Ghulam Mudassar.

 

[waleed88]

Lahore Tailenders to get out before a 100 once again...

 

[WC-Passion]

Need to stop this ultra aggressive rubbish, never going to win with it.

 

[Barragan]

Delport out

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Sanga You Beauty !!!!!!

 

[tanveer din]

Sanga You Beauty !!!!!!

who will win?

 

[Barragan]

Looking to be ultra aggressive again LQ

Need to rethink today

 

[WC-Passion]

I haven't even got the channel on yet and one is out

 

[Ellipsism]

Fakhar is terrible.

 

[waleed88]

Tailenders lose their first one... looks like another 59 all out on the cards

 

[Barragan]

What a shot by Zam

 

[super hitter]

Fakhar my replacement for sharjeel

 

[Barragan]

I want to see Amir test Zam with bouncers

 

[uberkoen]

Fakhar has been improving but still a long way from international debut. Needs time.

 

[Barragan]

Nice from Baz

 

[Chief Destroyer]

148ks from Amir.

 

[Ellipsism]

Pakistan cricket is finished if Fakhar is actually being considered.

What use is a player that can't play pace?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Fakhar is terrible.

He knew that there were no fielders on the legside and even if he failed to hit a six, there would be no one to catch. A calculated risk. Thinking batsman in my opinion.

 

[Barragan]

Nice from Zam

But Sohail should be bowling short

 

[Ellipsism]

Unless against anything bowled in excess of 135km/h

 

[Barragan]

That wasn't a wide

 

[Ellipsism]

Nice from Zam

But Sohail should be bowling short

Any player would feast on Sohail's 128-130 km/h bouncers.

 

[uberkoen]

What kind of a batsman can't play pace?

 

[shah_1]

Fakhar is not good enough

His game against pace is beyond horrible

 

[Ellipsism]

Sohail is garbage, bowling 129km/h pies.

 

[Barragan]

Any player would feast on Sohail's 128-130 km/h bouncers.

Zam was unconvincing against the one short ball against Amir

Not same pace and look at that last ball

 

[Naim]

from fakhar

 

[Ellipsism]

Usman hurrying McCullum

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Why is Gayle not playing?

Mahela is playing, but I thought he retired?

 

[yasir]

What he is talking about, Usman has no pace, he only bowls at 130s

 

[MABA]

Karachi got Mahela in their starting 11 today, can he even play anymore?

 

[ExpressPacer]

What he is talking about, Usman has no pace, he only bowls at 130s

You're a little too obsessed with pace. I am too but pace is not everything a bowler needs. Usman has decent pace and crazy swing.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Karachi got Mahela in their starting 11 today, can he even play anymore?

Highest run scorer of NZ 20/20 tournament last month..

 

[yasir]

You're a little too obsessed with pace. I am too but pace is not everything a bowler needs. Usman has decent pace and crazy swing.

Nope, he is not a decent bowler, how can we settle on bowlers like Usman, Raees, Hasan?? - This is like BD of 2000s, these are too low of standards...

If I had seen anything else, I could latch on to that too, these guys had no skills (seam, swing, length control)...I have not seen a bowler in PSL that will make me jump from the chair...

 

[Barragan]

Soft dismissal

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Umar here. Collapse about to begin.

 

[Rayyman]

I am hyped for KK v.s. LQ!

Hasan is a good upcoming bowler, whether you don't like watching him because he isn't the quickest going around is an entirely different issue.

Usman is one of those bowlers that are quicker than you think, very much like Australia'a Sean Abbot.

Agree with Raees though, he is as rubbish as they come.

 

[niazi]

Is it me or Bazid Khan's voice is different in commentary. Seems heavy.

 

[Rayyman]

LOL Ramiz.

 

[Barragan]

Six

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Boi]

Imad is such a lazy fielder at times.

 

[Ellipsism]

Usama Mir is overrated, nothing special.

 

[yasir]

Usama Once again under pressure right away, look on his face is not good, don't know what to do

 

[uberkoen]

Mir getting thrashed.

 

[Naim]

Pepsi catch a cola )

 

[ammar_merry]

pepsa haha

 

[Naim]

that was funny interview. thanks Pepsi catch a cola . )

 

[Barragan]

Baz out

 

[Naim]

BAZ Mir takes a Wicket

 

[yasir]

Good comeback from Usama, he needs that desperately

 

[Zeshan547]

By God babar would drop that catch if it were of his cousin. These akmals really care for each other.

 

[Rayyman]

Mir has been expensive, but he gets a wicket. Classic Leggie.

Azam is such a good fielder.

 

[Rayyman]

By God babar would drop that catch if it were of his cousin. These akmals really care for each other.

Babar is the best fielder in Pakistan imo.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

We need to swing away now. Got a decent base.

 

[Ellipsism]

Babar is the best fielder in Pakistan imo.

Lol, he's dropped a few catches for Pakistan.

Rizwan is the best fielder in Pakistan and it's not even close.

 

[Rayyman]

Lol, he's dropped a few catches for Pakistan.

Rizwan is the best fielder in Pakistan and it's not even close.

I've only seen him drop one dolly. He usually takes his catches. And he is athletic. I don't really count Rizwan for obvious reasons.

 

[uberkoen]

I've only seen him drop one dolly. He usually takes his catches. And he is athletic. I don't really count Rizwan for obvious reasons.

The obvious reason being that he's a good fielder?

 

[yasir]

Usman is one of those bowlers that are quicker than you think, very much like Australia'a Sean Abbot.

Agree with Raees though, he is as rubbish as they come.

Hasan is variety type bowler, when your best skill is variety that's never a good thing, its side dish not main course... You need to focus on fundamental skills like pace, swing, seam...Focusing on variety means you will be like Tanvir type bowler...He and Usman does not have a frame and body to generation more pace, they are not going to grow any taller...

Only guy that I really like in these two PSL's is Shadab from IU, that guy is an excellent prospect and international ready, I would put him right away for tour of WI, in all three formats...

 

[Zeshan547]

Ball is really gripping, i think 150 should be enough but i think we don't have many quality spinners.

 

[Ellipsism]

What obvious reason?

Hasan can swing and seam the ball.

You really don't know what your seeing, Hasan may not be the quickest but he can conventionally swing the ball, reverse the ball and seam the ball all while being accurate.

 

[Zeshan547]

And to think that was a mis hit from narine, this guy is one hell of a hitter, better than any in pakistan current setup.

 

[Rayyman]

What obvious reason?

He is a wicket keeper.

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Ellipsism]

There is a bit of Viv in Sybil's batting, he's more aesthetically pleasing than most modern day players.

 

[Ellipsism]

He is a wicket keeper.

And...

He's only recently become a good keeper.

 

[Zeshan547]

Yamin should be the next bat, but if won't be.

 

[Shafi]

Naraine Looks better batsman than our Akmal!!!! Akmal should learn from him how to hit proper shot than slog

 

[yasir]

Hasan can swing and seam the ball.

I don't think he really focus on those skills...Like Bhatti, height is a serious limiting factor... We will see him in test soon, lets see what he does?

 

[WC-Passion]

Naraine Looks better batsman than our Akmal!!!! Akmal should learn from him how to hit proper shot than slog

How are Narine's golf swings a proper shot?

 

[Rayyman]

Yes!!!!!
Let's gooo!!!!
