Lahore Qalandars [179/1] storm to a 9 wicket win over Quetta Gladiators [178/6] in PSL6

i dont get the Nawaz hate...everytime ive seen him in league cricket he is somebody I consider a good player..
 
Fake all rounder pulled off a blinder there at the end

Didn’t know he had it in him

He has been lacking with the bat in the past for Pakistan...maybe he has taken up golf like Hafeez? Some very clean swings of the bat....
 
I have to say, Rauf's is one of the most entertaining player interviews I've seen.

Did an oppo bowler (Hasnain) just come and poke Rauf in the back while the interview was happening? And Rauf just pushed the dude away! A bit of live action grab grab going on.

Seconds later the commentator asks Rauf: Did he (the guy who poked Rauf) tell you he is faster?"

Rauf (obviously mishearing but going along): "Yes he's a b@xxxxd!"

Or was I the one who misheard?

Can someone post that as Sky was showing an ad so not broadcast here in the UK?

Dude, I legit lol'd when I read that last line...and that's because I think it's true. I think that's exactly what he said :)))
 
0.06% of all T20 deliveries bowled in the history the game have been Chris Gayle hitting the ball for six.
 
Haris Rauf didn't like the fun and games from Hasnain, seemed like a bit of aggression in his push that rameez called a 140 clicks yorker :))
 
Fakhar needs to bat deep here , not play rekless shots here. Try and take the game deep. Play the ballon merit.
 
This is the first time in two years that I’ve seen Fakhar in the zone. For those who don’t know, Hafeez was coaching him on his batting in the nets over the last week.

And now Hafeez is blessed in 4 facets of the game (coaching).

I'll get me coat.

Chris Gayle v Mohammad Hafeez in T20s

Innings - 11
Runs - 22
Dismissals - 5
Balls - 47
Average - 4.4
Strike Rate - 46.8

Of the 83 bowlers Chris Gayle has faced 30+ balls in T20 history, his average & strike rate against Hafeez is the lowest of all these players. By these numbers, Hafeez is the toughest bowler Gayle has faced in T20s.
 
It’s just switched to Urdu commentary on Sky sports

This is so embarrassing
 
Whats happened to skysports commentary...they have got the urdu one on i am sure they are doimg simultaneous

Hafeez worked with Fakhar on his shot selection and release shots - particularly on opening up the offside. Coincidentally, that’s the zone where Fakhar just hit two consecutive fours in.
 
Sarfaraz is berating his bowler - how about giving him proper advice, take some pressure off? Poor captaincy. I would have thought he would have handled it better after his years as international captain
 
Fakhar is still our best LOI bat.

Not the best LOI bat but, definitely one of the better if not the best (Not sure there is much competition to start with) aggressive white ball openers we have. Its unfortunately the case whether we like it or not.
 
Sarfaraz's behaviour with other players is very condescending. I can completely understand why a few of the players revolted against him, it's one thing to be upset once in a while, it's another to be angry all the time.
 
Sarfraz calling Zahid “Shabash Beta” and there is difference of 1 year in their age. :misbah
 
Am i alone who's blood boil and mind explode when i see this not even club level hack captaining Lahore.?
 
Nawaz is a poor man's Abdur Rehman as a bowler. Accurate but not quite.

Abdur rehaman vs quite underrated himself, nwaz is still not international level but their is atleast some visible improvement and he can spin the ball actually.

One way or the other, it works. Sarfaraz is one of the most successful limited overs captains in Pakistan history, particularly T20Is but has also won the U19 wc and CT17 in the one day format.

My take on it is that he berates the bowlers which forces them to take responsibility. Complacency or daftness is common in our bowlers and Sarfaraz’s tough love keeps the bowler thinking. When the bowler ends up taking a wicket, no one shows more love when rushing to celebrate than Sarfaraz does. And if it’s a good ball, Sarfaraz appreciates it (currently shouting shabba shaba bohat acha hai).
 
Someone needs to push for LQ here. Sohail Akhtar played an ordinary kncok of 21 off 26. Not sure if that is the kind of anchoring any team can afford in T20s.
 
blessed in 3 facets comes in, arch enemy behind the stumps - will be intriguing battle.
 
LQ sometimes overdoes this local production thing with Sohail Akhtar as captain and also last year when they gave so many matches to someone like Mohammad Faizan. Sohail Alhtar as a player hasnt been adding anything for some time now.
 
For all that Fakhar Zaman is playing a good knock, he will always be suspect at the international level with his technique and slash and burn kind of cricket.
 
110 required in 60 balls. Sohail Akhtar should get credit for this equation.

Most stubborn management out there, they are not even sum of their parts due to this pathetic self destructive management.
 
Sarfraz captaincy - I'm observing it for the first time close range. He really does behave like a jerk to his bowlers. Very immature.
 
Fakhar is atleast 10 times the hack than what Haider is if we are looking for a hack to partner babar.
