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

[MMHS]

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

That will be a sight indeed, if LQ faces QG again - Gunnies record on the waist size of 2 WKs, it's like Sumo wrestling where they measure belt size ....

 

[Barragan]

Six by Rizwan

 

[Adil_94]

Lahores middle order is killing the game. They should have got 200 after the way they started. Looks like they will trundle to 170

 

[Zeshan547]

This should be classic example of how to lose momentum in 2nd half of a t20 inning. A fluke six by rizwan after all that useless batting.

 

[niazi]

Finally six from Rizwan! That's more like it and carry on like that.

 

[DRsohail]

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.

this is the way to go..it may not be successful as rizwan is so slow but u have to admire the approach....our captains lack vision and imagination

 

[Bewal Express]

Nawaz the terrible spinner bowling to a terrible batsman in Rizwan.

 

[Markhor]

LQ were heading for a 200+ score but now 175-180 looks more likely.

 

[waleed88]

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.

Ahmed Shehzad only likes it where the person shines and radiates vanity from him... he likes to bask in his glow

 

[Adil_94]

Nawaz is a bang average bowler. Only a spin track merchant

 

[Hasan123]

Rizwan gets too much hate.

 

[MMHS]

Ahmed Shehzad only likes it where the person shines and radiates vanity from him... he likes to bask in his glow

He is a top order batsman, therefore radiation from his previous man-crash & KP is a bit progression though .....

 

[saeed5646]

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

very valid point pak current limited over team struggle against spinners and he is good player of spin

and also these guys are bashing him as if we have warner or kohli in domestic

 

[MMHS]

Rizwan gets too much hate.

Good WK, can be decent Test batsman - shouldn't make PAK A team for LOs.

 

[darksher]

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

Stop blowing things out of proportions, that's clearly an exaggeration, no one considers UA PP darling for quite some time given his lackluster form with bat.

 

[spade]

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

Misbah and Younis )) sure they have a 10 year career ahead of them, Shafiq, lesser said about him the better, Sarfaraz is an impulsive player of spin can get out anytime, Azhar is decent i will agree to that.

 

[dhump]

That will be a sight indeed, if LQ faces QG again - Gunnies record on the waist size of 2 WKs, it's like Sumo wrestling where they measure belt size ....

On the flip side with whatever waist size is Sangakara is still better keeper than anyone in Pakistan at this age.

 

[WC-Passion]

Rizwan doesn't deserve this much hate, he's being used as a scapegoat imo.

 

[WC-Passion]

Dropped! Tbf that was good fielding too was very difficult

 

[DRsohail]

very valid point pak current limited over team struggle against spinners and he is good player of spin

and also these guys are bashing him as if we have warner or kohli in domestic

i will take him hecan have average more than 35 with hundred strike rate in internationals....

 

[Markhor]

Excellent fielding.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Hassan Khan looks impressive

 

[fasihulhaq94]

great stuff from Hassaan. And wow sarfraz is angry

 

[Naim]

Brilliant fielding from young lad

 

[Barragan]

Six

 

[WC-Passion]

yes Rizwan

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Gotta admit that was not a fluke, go Rizwan!

 

[Naim]

Sarfi in Angry on ANNU

 

[Hasan123]

Good WK, can be decent Test batsman - shouldn't make PAK A team for LOs.

In LO if played at 4 or 5 he can do a good job. With time he's improved his keeping a lot, so I'm sure he can improve his batting.

 

[Naim]

rizz is Hitting sixers )

 

[Hasan123]

Rizwan doesn't deserve this much hate, he's being used as a scapegoat imo.

What do you expect? Umar Akmal gets defended by hard workers like Rizwan get hate even though his keeping has improved.

 

[Zeshan547]

Good WK, can be decent Test batsman - shouldn't make PAK A team for LOs.

"decent test batsman" the guy can't play proper cricket shot with a still head to save his life. Expected better from you [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] what in the world make you think so?

 

[Markhor]

Delport doing us all a favour. Nawaz serving up lollipops and being thoroughly exposed now he's not bowling on a raging turner.

 

[MMHS]

In LO if played at 4 or 5 he can do a good job. With time he's improved his keeping a lot, so I'm sure he can improve his batting.

Question is, there better player than him at 4/5 - in my opinion, there are about 10. National team is not a place for improving individuals at the cost of team.

 

[WC-Passion]

What do you expect? Umar Akmal gets defended by hard workers like Rizwan get hate even though his keeping has improved.

Exactly poor guy is seen as some kind of villain by the experts on PP.

 

[Markhor]

What is this filth ? Length ball after another on his pads and being easily put away.

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=138092]spade[/MENTION] Sarfraz is very naturally talented against spin. Asad is good against spin too. Sarfraz Azhar and Asad will be in the Pakistani team for the next 5 years. So to say Pakistanis are the worst against spin from the S.C is incorrect. Pakistan also won a series in Lanka in 2015 and negated Herath . Atm Pakistan is one of the best at playing spin.

 

[Barragan]

This has been dumb bowling by Nawaz

He has kept on feeding delport on the leg side

 

[Adil_94]

Nawaz getting destroyed he is a pie chucker.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Nawaz being hammered here

 

[WC-Passion]

Namaz is terrible )

 

[dhump]

Nawaz is absolutely smashed 21 of this over.

 

[Hasan123]

Question is, there better player than him at 4/5 - in my opinion, there are about 10. National team is not a place for improving individuals at the cost of team.

He's never even played there regularly at international level. So claims like that can't be made till he's had a chance there. But he won't get the chance because of Malik and Sarfraz

 

[Abdullah719]

Rizwan with three sixes looks like they may yet get 200 after all.

 

[MMHS]

Match deciding over.

 

[saeed5646]

kamran akmal fans won,t be happy seeing rizwan doing well

 

[Pakpak]

Unless its a rank turner Nawaz is useless.

 

[Hasan123]

Exactly poor guy is seen as some kind of villain by the experts on PP.

Serving some humble pie now though

 

[Adil_94]

Thissara is garbage.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Serving some humble pie now though

hes mediocre. Its the same logic UA fans use. One good innings to justify string of failures

 

[Barragan]

Again delport being fed on the leg side

This time by perera

 

[darksher]

Delport is the perfect man for this situation, wonderful striker of the ball, he'll take Lahore to 200, what a good selection to replace that joke of an allrounder aka Eliot. Should be promoted up the order to open with Fakhar, will capitalize massively on field restrictions in PP overs.

 

[saeed5646]

delport is what we were missing now all basis are covered thanks god they drop elliot

 

[Rayyman]

Good to see Lahore scoring well. I want a 200+ score here.

 

[Barragan]

Delport has been really good

 

[saeed5646]

Nothing better than watching anwar ali terrible bowling getting smack

 

[Zeshan547]

This lahore top 7 is scary on a flat pitch, rizzu is the only weak link.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This is fun to watch )

Nawaz went the distance today.

 

[Barragan]

Rizwan has been missing out on full tosses

 

[Barragan]

That was a good shot for four

 

[saeed5646]

200 is definitely ON Great stuff proud of you qalandars boys

 

[Markhor]

Awful bowling, Quetta had a chance to restrict Lahore below 200. Lahore should make that now.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Come on another six please!

 

[WC-Passion]

I knew Delport would be a good pick mentioned it multiple times on PP no idea why he didn't play.

 

[tanveer din]

Nothing better than watching anwar ali terrible bowling getting smack

Anwar didnot even get into my uni team and he is playing psl

 

[Sub-Zero]

very nice innings by both of them

 

[Watsupdoc]

What the heck was that Rizwan? )

 

[WC-Passion]

What was that

 

[tanveer din]

hit this rubbish pereare

 

[Barragan]

Quality shot for six

 

[WC-Passion]

never mind

 

[tanveer din]

qhat

 

[Pakpak]

hit this rubbish pereare

This got me

 

[Sub-Zero]

very impressive innings from Rizwan

 

[Sub-Zero]

hats off to McCullum, he dropped himself from the top spot after failing
very good batting by Lahore
it will be a close game

 

[Watsupdoc]

Great stuff from Lahore.

 

[saeed5646]

Anwar didnot even get into my uni team and he is playing psl

i have faced better bowler than him in tape ball cricket he is worse international allrounder ever

 

[WC-Passion]

200 should be defendable...

 

[Markhor]

Serving some humble pie now though

Any batsman worth his salt should be putting away these garbage pies from Anwar Ali, Nawaz and Tissara Perera. His coordination, balance and positioning at the crease is still an issue. The key is how he performs against better bowling units.

 

[shariqnoor]

Sarfraz needs to calm the hell down. You can't and shouldn't babysit players at this level. He's being angry towards his bowlers and fielders at every ball. Hassan Khan took a terrific catch at the boundary but he was still angry at him for not throwing it to the nearby fielder. Really? He's trying to rule by fear. Disgraceful behaviour. Give the bowlers some leeway. Let them try to bowl rather ridiculing them every ball.
