SAAD NASIM !

 

[HitWicket]

Is Mills injured? Fairly sure he was their best bowler a few games back and has now disappeared for 3 games.

[Naim]

very bad selection from sarfarazz.
today they will play on new pitch , so ball will not spin like yesterday . dont know why he is playing 3 spinners

 

[Noman]

Feel like Lahore is the better team and have better combination.. what d you guys think=?

 

[Hasan123]

Fakhar taking apart a member of the Sarfraz friendship clan.

 

[Shafi]

Hopefully last psl for some of our oldies

 

[shariqnoor]

Baz has really taken the fear out of Fakhar Zaman.

 

[dauntless]

Good to see delport in the team he should bat at 5

 

[shariqnoor]

Suprised, no team has really tried to bounce out Fakhar.

 

[Hasan123]

Anwar Ali is actually bowling well

 

[Barragan]

Four

Looks like a flat pitch

 

[Hasan123]

Commentators jinxed anwar lol

 

[MMHS]

Suprised, no team has really tried to bounce out Fakhar.

On this wicket, with this boundary size?

 

[Markhor]

Amazed it took England so long to select Jason Roy.

He will be a big miss for LQ when he heads off to the Carribean.

 

[Barragan]

Twice a switch hit for four

 

[Sub-Zero]

very good by Fakhar

 

[Hasan123]

Roy is the perfect example of modern day LO batsmen.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Hope we'll see a high scoring game today.

 

[Naim]

On this wicket, with this boundary size?

with bowlers like Anwer , or Parera

 

[Barragan]

That should have been put away

 

[Adil_94]

Roy and Billings have been the two most impressive bats for me.

 

[Sub-Zero]

I think this is the the last match for Roy and English national team players

 

[Zeshan547]

Really like this no fear or "Dama dam mast" approach by my qalandars team, really suits lahori culture and mentality.

 

[Barragan]

Well bowled

 

[Hasan123]

I think this is the the last match for Roy and English national team players

Correct

 

[Barragan]

Free hit

 

[MMHS]

with bowlers like Anwer , or Parera

I think, I wrote yesterday that teams might go with 4 spinners - it took less than 24 hours. It's easy to bash batsmen, but playing whole career on these surface & then travel Australia once in 6 years won't produce better than Misbah.........

 

[Hasan123]

Anwar Ali finding ways of ruining good starts to his overs

 

[Barragan]

Six

 

[Hasan123]

Wilko commentary )

 

[Sub-Zero]

mediocre Anwar is back, zabardast roy

 

[HitWicket]

Wasn't there something behind the line when it first landed there?

 

[Hasan123]

Roy taking apart another member of the Sarfraz friendship clan

 

[Barragan]

Another six

Definitely a flat pitch and 200 should be scored

 

[Sub-Zero]

if Lahore gets to 200+ it will be very difficult for Quetta

 

[Barragan]

Good shot by Zaman

 

[Shafi]

Zulfi is going to be MOM of this match!!!! What a selection by buddy Sarfraz just like Azhar.

 

[uberkoen]

Fakhar has been looking good the past few innings.

 

[Sub-Zero]

off side four for Fakahr, arm chair critics take note

 

[Naim]

OK Fakhar is Leg side HAck

 

[MMHS]

It's like that WI side - Marshall replacing Holding - here Perera replacing Annu ....

 

[Barragan]

Roy going berserk

 

[uberkoen]

Man that is some good clean hitting!

 

[Zeshan547]

Which other Psl team can score first 50 in just 4.1 over or in other words just 25 balls? Go Qalandars, carry on with this dama dam mast.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Roy cha gya

 

[Shafi]

Why not Sarfraz give opportunities to Mir Hamza and Noor Ali and Lahore to Mudassar

 

[MMHS]

Which other Psl team can score first 50 in just 4.1 over or in other words just 25 balls? Go Qalandars, carry on with this dama dam mast.

LQ will make the final for sure

 

[Sub-Zero]

It's like that WI side - Marshall replacing Holding - here Perera replacing Annu ....

still better than Bangladesh National team

 

[uberkoen]

Why not Sarfraz give opportunities to Mir Hamza and Noor Ali and Lahore to Mudassar

Because this isn't charity super league. The team owners have invested money in the teams to win not to give opportunities to young players.

 

[Adil_94]

Jason Roy is a brilliant modern LOI batsman. If only we had a few of him in our team.

 

[Naim]

Roy is on :AAG

 

[Barragan]

Dragged down and four

 

[uberkoen]

Can we give Jason Roy a Pakistani passport?

 

[Zeshan547]

Mediocre bowlers put into their rightful place, shaba boys.

 

[uberkoen]

50 (24) Brilliant innings even though the track is a phatta

 

[Barragan]

Zaman is so good against spin

 

[Naim]

fifity on 24 balls

 

[uberkoen]

Straight drive

 

[Sub-Zero]

LQ will make the final for sure

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

 

[MMHS]

Why are the darting short against 2 bottom handed hitters?

 

[Naim]

75 in Power Play

 

[Zeshan547]

Where is Sarfraz the captain genius?

 

[MMHS]

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

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

 

[Ellipsism]

Why not Sarfraz give opportunities to Mir Hamza and Noor Ali and Lahore to Mudassar

Mir is a trash LO bowler.

Irfan Jr is being picked ahead of Mudassar and rightly so.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

This is great entertainment. Totally loving Lahore this year!

 

[Barragan]

Bowled him

 

[Naim]

Why are the darting short against 2 bottom handed hitters?

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

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Markhor]

Can't believe I wanted this pseudo all-rounder in the team last year. Nawaz looks like a million dollars on turning pitches. Last year he benefited from very spin friendly conditions.

Otherwise he looks very ordinary bowling on flat tracks and his batting consists of no more than a series of legside hacks.

 

[Naim]

HAssan the youngster

 

[Sub-Zero]

bhai iss Hassan ko team main lao yaar

 

[Adil_94]

here comes the eternal next big thing Umar Akmal. Here Comes the Pain for the Pakistani fans [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

 

[uberkoen]

Useless Akmal on now

 

[Abdullah719]

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

 

[Aman]

Is McCullum going to play the finisher role?

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] agreed on those spinning PSL tracks. Nawaz looked like the next coming of Bishan Bedi Singh. But he is an average cricketer. The definition of bits and pieces.
