Lahore Qalandars v Quetta Gladiators | PSL 2 | Match 11 | Sharjah | Feb 18, 2017 | Match Thread

[Sub-Zero]

superb over just superb

 

[Naim]

Umer averages 50 with the sr of 150

 

[Ellipsism]

Don't get the hype around Zaman. All you need is a guy that bowls 135 kph+ to bowl back of a length, and he'll be packing his bags.

 

[Barragan]

Zaman with another four against spin

 

[MMHS]

hold your horses? are you watching PSL the first time?
Last season Lahore made 200 against Quetta, and Quetta chased it down

Of all the teams, LQ actually has strengthen this year significantly. They have added bowlers (last year missed Mustafiz, who would have been difficult on these tracks). Besides, their best change is Captain - like PAK team, Azhar was specialist captain, lost his place with his captaincy ............ and what a captaincy that was.

 

[Barragan]

Another four

 

[Naim]

Looks like it's always the youngsters like Hassan Khan, Usama Mir etc. who are doing the damage - Zulfi et al. are useless.

But they are Experienced players

 

[Adil_94]

Very nice clean straight hitting from Fakhar not ugly cross batted hoicks. This guy should get a chance in the T20 series in WI now besharamjeels career is over.

 

[Ellipsism]

Zaman with another four against spin

Typical Pakistani spin basher.

 

[uberkoen]

Leg side hack smacks another off side four

 

[MMHS]

Trivia:

Who has the bigger bread basket - Sarfu or Umar?

 

[Sub-Zero]

Fakhar international call up incoming
performing against Sarfraz's team the way Sharjeel scored against Zalmi
I hope he gets a big score

 

[Naim]

Fakhar is Hitting Balls Straight down the ground , and on off side and Anohter

 

[Ellipsism]

Very nice clean straight hitting from Fakhar not ugly cross batted hoicks. This guy should get a chance in the T20 series in WI now besharamjeels career is over.

He'll feast off the attacks of Lanka and Windies, only to look like a tail ender as soon as he gets to face a semi decent fast bowler.

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] Zulfi is over the hill he went at 9 an over yesterday on a turning track. He kept bowling full tosses to Tamim and getting smashed. Hes lost all zip in his bowling he is just a sifarishi selection.

 

[Ellipsism]

Leg side hack smacks another off side four

He's a hack against pace, he's lucky the QG attack only consists of spinners.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Last year Leicester also won EPL .......

comparing PL to PSL is like comparing Bradman to Victor Anichebe

 

[Barragan]

Great shot by Akmal for six

 

[mz123]

hahahaha shafqat forgot the song

 

[MMHS]

3 ball were full and all three balls were dispatched for BIG sixxer from ROY

because they are darting on this slow surface & ball in coming on to bat for 2 batsman batting basically on hand eye with no foot work

 

[Naim]

Big In Side OUT SHot from Umer

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=141390]Ellipsism[/MENTION] well Pakistani isnt a great LOI team we need dynamic batsman. Im not saying Fakhar is a future great but on the flat LOI tracks we see now he could do well. He deserves a chance for sure much better than the likes of Azhar and Hafeez in the shorter formats

 

[Zeshan547]

100/1 in just 9, lahore should be very disappointed if they can't end up with atleast 200 after 20.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Of all the teams, LQ actually has strengthen this year significantly. They have added bowlers (last year missed Mustafiz, who would have been difficult on these tracks). Besides, their best change is Captain - like PAK team, Azhar was specialist captain, lost his place with his captaincy ............ and what a captaincy that was.

Logic generally don't work in PSL just wait and watch Quetta win it

 

[dauntless]

Jason is just too good of a batsman love watching him bat!He has done his work now umar needs to score some runs

 

[Sub-Zero]

if Zaman gets a 50 here I think he'll be in the national t20 team next month

 

[Barragan]

Missed stumping by Sarfraz

He dropped one before and now missed stumping

 

[Ellipsism]

Zaman gets a life

 

[dhump]

Sarfraz really need to work on his keeping such mishaps will cost us big time on international level.

 

[Barragan]

Good shot down the ground

 

[Sub-Zero]

Sarf don't wanna dismiss Fakhar, just wanna take a closer look before selecting him

 

[Barragan]

Hassan Khan bowling well

 

[dhump]

Akmal is really really brainless he was about to get inform Zaman run out and than throw his wicket away playing a useless slog...Absolutely this guy is not international material.

 

[Zeshan547]

Akmal once again showing his "auqaat" or limit. Biggest flop ever.

 

[Ellipsism]

Tailunt gone

 

[Naim]

Hassan Again umer

 

[dhump]

JJ voice is background is absolutely brilliant lovely memories.

 

[Adil_94]

what an absolutely brainless shot by Umar. It seemed like he was giving catching practice to the fielder straight down his throat. This guy just lacks the mental capacity to make anything of his career.

 

[Markhor]

What's the excuse today Akmal fans ? He came in at 4, had perfect platform and got outwitted by a teenage bowler.

 

[Adil_94]

Wilko dancing cracked me up.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Akmal is really really brainless he was about to get inform Zaman run out and than throw his wicket away playing a useless slog...Absolutely this guy is not international material.

finally someone said that

 

[Zeshan547]

Why in the world would you send this taileneder rizwan above you Mac? Just why.

 

[Naim]

waht Rizzz? where is BAZZ?

 

[dhump]

Baz himself was needed here..I dont think sending Rizwan is the best choice he seems like the most useless batsman in Pakistan at the moment.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Umar Akmal fans are you watching this?

 

[MMHS]

How is Hasan with bat?

 

[Sub-Zero]

Pathetic Umar could not even score on this road of a pitch

 

[Naim]

Rizwan will put pressure on Fakhar . not a good move from BMAc

 

[Sub-Zero]

How is Hasan with bat?

all rounder, can hit some big shots

 

[Adil_94]

What is Rizwan doing he is just killing Lahores momentum.

 

[Hamza_]

How is Hasan with bat?

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]
Looks good timer of the ball, Hits clean and picks up soon well, Balance is good as a batsman and gets into good position for hitting the ball.

 

[Zeshan547]

Yeah Baz has really "EXPOSED" the pakistani batting talent Bishop. What a subtle dig.

 

[waleed88]

Yeah Baz has really "EXPOSED" the pakistani batting talent Bishop. What a subtle dig.

What did he say exactly? I can't watch it live so following it on commentary

 

[Fantasy]

How is Hasan with bat?

Good balance at the crease (better than Rizwan, Nawaz) and LOOKS good as far as technique is concerned.

Can say just that at this point in time.Haven't seen enough of him.

 

[niazi]

Seriously I can't stand the look of Rizwan! Quetta will be happy if Rizwan stays for long and eat up many dot balls. Useless player

 

[Zeshan547]

Despite having lot of wickets remaining lahore can't fully take the advantage due to useless rizzu.

 

[Barragan]

Six by Zaman

 

[waleed88]

Fakhar Zaman is slowly healing the wounds that Sharjeel's departure left... he's better than spin compared to Sharjeel...
Has to be our best find of the tournament till now hands down!!!

 

[dhump]

Hassan is already better than zulfi and nawaz someone for the future.

 

[Naim]

Chaaakkkaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[DRsohail]

How is Hasan with bat?

can hit a few...and what about FAKHAR>???if he replaces azhar it will be gold??

 

[darksher]

Rizwan : The perfect guy to come in and suck the entire momentum out of Lahore's innings, if I were a Quetta fan, I'd want him out there for as long as possible preferably around 16-17 overs if possible 'cause his extended stay in the middle would mean that my fav team wouldn't be chasing anything around 190.

 

[b.lesner]

pp darling umar akmal fails again , if he averages 0.01 pp will say its statisticians fault not to multiply it with 10000

 

[Barragan]

Oh no, two useless batsmen at the crease

 

[niazi]

This is what happens when Rizwan plays too many dots, it puts pressure on Zaman and he had to take risk and lost his wicket doing so. Anyone here likes Rizwan?
Don't get me wrong he can still make up in this innings but he hasn't shown any courage since the Australian tour.

 

[MMHS]

can hit a few...and what about FAKHAR>???if he replaces azhar it will be gold??

Not impressive to be honest - international Captains won't allow him to score 90% in leg side. But, he is better than Azhar for sure, because he won't waste balls.

 

[asma_cricfan]

lahore should replace akmal with any other player. umar is done. he came one down on a flattest pitch. he had the advantage of a brilliant start by the openers but throw his wicket away.

 

[Zeshan547]

What did he say exactly? I can't watch it live so following it on commentary

he said mcculum haven't come up the order after roy wicket to give pak batsman to expose their talent.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

rizwan messing it all up

 

[dhump]

lahore should replace akmal with any other player. umar is done. he came one down on a flattest pitch. he had the advantage of a brilliant start by the openers but throw his wicket away.

I think they need to replace Rizwan first akmal can keep wickets.

 

[MMHS]

Mac is doing something that no PAK selector did in 10 years - against 4 spinners, he has kept entire period a left-right batting combination.

 

[spade]

Typical Pakistani spin basher.

Pakistan are the worst players of spin from the subcontinent. They would be lucky to have someone who can play spin.

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan is pathetic

 

[Markhor]

If you want the momentum of an innings killed you can always rely on Mohammad Rizwan.

 

[Adil_94]

Rizwan is killing the Qalandars innings he isnt a T20 player.

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=138092]spade[/MENTION] Sarfraz Misbah Younis Shafiq are all very good players of spin. Azhar Ali isnt bad either.

 

[dhump]

Quetta did good to come back into the match big time.

 

[niazi]

For Rizwan it'll be a great achievement if he finishes above 100% strike rate.

 

[darksher]

Shehzy boy being lovey dovey with Petersen, guess he has found himself a new luminary post Afridi's retirement, wouldn't be surprised if he posted a fan-boyish type dedication in the form of video containing slides with quotes to honor KP.

 

[waleed88]

Without the foreigners, no team would do half as good against the bowling attack of QG(which is probably the worst bowling attack of all the sides)
