Timing?

 

[Rellu_Katta]

4-5? tht is weird ... lol ...

Quetta must b soooo disappointed to have lost to us and have tht close a reccord .....

time for a 5-5 .... hopefully

 

[minamino]

I hope Quetta wins this by a big margin so the so called invincibles could be displaced from top 4.

 

[Darkrai]

Let's go Lahore!

 

[minamino]

Why did QG not play Abdul Nasir after the first game?

 

[MenInG]

Lahore Qalandars won the toss and bowling

 

[minamino]

The great Sohail Akhtar wins the toss and chooses to field even though the only match they won was in which they batted first.

 

[Titan24]

So Chris Lynn is dropped? Interesting

it good to bat 2nd due to weather.

Even Sarfaraz would've batted second. The match will be affected by rain. The team needs to stay over dl par score to take 2 points.

 

[Titan24]

Has fever.

Thanks for the update.

 

[ZamanFan]

STadium is mostly empty

 

[DRsohail]

raIn??

 

[Titan24]

raIn??

Lahore’s weather is pretty clear for today, chance of rain is very low.

 

[Titan24]

Beauty from Shaheen

 

[ZamanFan]

Whatta jaffer by Shahin Afridi. Watson was completely clueless. Fantastic bowler

 

[ammar_merry]

was JUST thinking that shane has not been LBW.o well lovely ball.

 

[watson367]

Good start

 

[watson367]

What a shot shezzy

 

[ZamanFan]

Shaheen trying to remind he is a lahore qalandar

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen is coming back from hairline fracture of thumb so will take a bit of time to get into full rhythm. Still produced a beauty to Watson

 

[watson367]

Stumping missed

 

[ammar_merry]

stumping missed.

 

[watson367]

stumping missed.

Copying me eh?

 

[watson367]

Samith bowling well

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Shehzad

 

[InziRules]

PSL was so much higher quality under Sethi. Bunch of horrible foreign players this time

 

[minamino]

Dilbar looks funny in a pink hat

 

[watson367]

Shezzy is only good for hitting 1 or 2 boundaries lol

 

[King-Misbah]

PSL was so much higher quality under Sethi. Bunch of horrible foreign players this time

Ofcourse, all foreign players were inspires by Sethi bhais intellect and ofcourse his tind.

 

[ammar_merry]

lovely inswing

 

[watson367]

Shaheen bowling dimes

 

[watson367]

Captain cool is in, game just started

 

[Shafi]

Shehzad keep getting selected without performance!!!!!

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Captain cool is in, game just started

Selfish. Gotta play maximum overs at 100 strike rate and show everyone how good he is.
When team needs him to hit, he hides

 

[Titan24]

Pitch has some spin and Patel trying to utilize it by giving bowl some air

 

[Shafi]

Unless local players get selected through merit nothing will improve.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

16-3

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Samit Patel Resurrection

 

[shah_1]

Lahore has the got the worst pitches

Pindi
Multan
Karach
.

LAHORE

 

[Titan24]

Good bowling from Samit Patel

 

[Pakpak]

Quetta the only team LQ have a good record against, atleast that's something

 

[watson367]

I was being sarcastic

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This is what will not happen unless mindset doesn't change throughout the country.

 

[shah_1]

Lahore shouldn't get more than 5 matches(homes matches of Lahore) next season

 

[minamino]

And people want Sarfraz back in T20 team.

 

[ammar_merry]

Whenever they shave grass of the pitch in lahore it becomes very slow.It comes on nicely when there is grass.
But its good once in a while to get a turning pitch.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Injustice to Azam Khan.

 

[watson367]

Quetta is Lahore’s bunny

 

[ammar_merry]

Lahore shouldn't get more than 5 matches(homes matches of Lahore) next season

scared of legends?

 

[saeed5646]

Variety in pitches are good .Good to see spinner can play their role on these wickets

 

[Titan24]

Injustice to Azam Khan.

Maybe because its spinning and Patel is bowling they sent a lefty to negotiate it relatively easily with bowl spinning into him

LQ should give Hafeez a go against him

 

[Titan24]

Variety in pitches are good .Good to see spinner can play their role on these wickets

Agreed. Monotony isnt good in any tournament

 

[ammar_merry]

Lahore shouldn't get more than 5 matches(homes matches of Lahore) next season

Injustice to Azam Khan.

good to hv lefti against samit

 

[Titan24]

Excellent bowling from Shaheen again. Someone to look upto for other young pacers just like Babar is for young batsmen

 

[watson367]

Qalandars is not a cool name, they should have done badshahs or something

 

[Shafi]

Quetta Gladiators deserve humiliation by playing failure like Shehzad again and again.

 

[saeed5646]

Lol roy is dude on spinning wickets

 

[Titan24]

Roy has become Patel’s bunny

 

[watson367]

All out under 80?

 

[Titan24]

All the QG batsmen acting like Shehzad. Yes the pitch is dry and has turn but its something which is not un common and they are acting like they are playing on mars.

 

[ammar_merry]

5th day turn

 

[Bigboii]

I am just kinda bothered by thier mid air langue switch it looks kinda unprofessional

 

[ammar_merry]

All the QG batsmen acting like Shehzad. Yes the pitch is dry and has turn but its something which is not un common and they are acting like they are playing on mars.

perfectly explained

 

[shah_1]

scared of legends?

Lahore doesn't have the quality pitches to deserve the most games

5 games Peshawar, 5 Lahore, 8 Karachi, 7 Pindi and 5 multan-group matches

Based on quality pitches

 

[minamino]

Nawaz and Zahid will create havoc on this pitch.

 

[saeed5646]

HahahahahahhahaH what is going on .Cutting gone

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Why is it playing like a minefield

 

[Titan24]

Poor technique against spin by all QG batsmen. Sarfaraz was an important wicket in these conditions as he can play spin well

 

[Shafi]

Qalander has good opportunity to be 5th this year.

 

[ammar_merry]

samit 4-4.

 

[Titan24]

Now this was just a poor shot from Cutting

 

[watson367]

Unbelievable

 

[Pakpak]

)

 

[Shafi]

Nawaz and Zahid will create havoc on this pitch.

Nawaz is an average spinner

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Quetta Gladiators deserve humiliation by playing failure like Shehzad again and again.

how about lahore for playing useless hack like Fakhar

 

[Titan24]

Why is it playing like a minefield

Yes its spinning but these are top professional players and they have showed some poor technique today
