Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United | PSL - 7th match | Lahore | Feb 23, 2020 | Match Thread

[Titan24]

Shinwari and his famous no balls in PSL

 

[Justcrazy]

Amad Butt at number 9 , that makes it really deep batting

 

[Hawkeye]

So far so good, even if the shots are not convincing, it's helping us.

ISLU FTW.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Shinwari is awful

 

[Titan24]

Yes he hit one six. So did almost every Pakistani no. 8 and 9 batsman.

Lol! The point was he hit that under pressure. He has a FC century as well against Eng Lions I think. Definitely needs to work on the skills as they are not good enough to consistently perform at international level.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

god someone throw this shinwari out. pure trash

 

[ARK Rafay]

Sohail Akhtar's captaincy hasn't been good.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is close to 10 , so IU need to keep the foot to the pedal.

 

[Titan24]

Amad Butt at number 9 , that makes it really deep batting

Batting depth will come into play if middle order can take the match deep

 

[Abdullah719]

god someone throw this shinwari out. pure trash

Karachi Kings wanted to retain him by lowering him to the Gold category (from Diamond).

To do that, you need approval from other franchises, that they don't want him (in Diamond).

Lahore Qalandars were the only side that wanted him in Diamond

 

[Hawkeye]

Lol.

Hafeez is back to chucking.

We should just ask him to stop bowling in intl cricket. Can't stand this embarrassment. That wicket he took was a clear chuck.

 

[MRSN]

god someone throw this shinwari out. pure trash

that's what Aqib does. Pick trash. how can he throe them out.

 

[Grunge101]

Its the first time ive seen the batsman at the non strikers end point out a no ball to the umpires.
Jeebus, why cant we find a semi decent umpire officiating in our "premier" league

 

[Titan24]

Captain misfielding

 

[Hawkeye]

Shadab playing a blinder.

Out of his league, but somehow he's connecting it.

 

[Titan24]

Another six from Shadab. Combo of Warne and ABD

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lahore Qalandars hugely dependent on Weise and Patel here to bowl good tonight.

 

[Titan24]

I hope LQ gives captaincy to the deserving candidate Hafeez

 

[MRSN]

Sohail Akhtar's captaincy hasn't been good.

yeah should have used Samit Patel.

 

[Justcrazy]

55 runs partnership so far , just what IU wanted after two quick wickets.

 

[Noman]

What happend to Mohammad Sami - used to captain Islamabad United

 

[Titan24]

Karachi Kings wanted to retain him by lowering him to the Gold category (from Diamond).

To do that, you need approval from other franchises, that they don't want him (in Diamond).

Its surprising that no franchise was interested in Imad as platinum when he was demoted to diamond by KK.

 

[Titan24]

What happend to Mohammad Sami - used to captain Islamabad United

Age had to come into equation for a fast bowler at sometime.

 

[Hawkeye]

Malan put out of his misery.

Wasn't gonna score anything at a good SR.

 

[Mueez]

I hope this is a new chapter in Shadab’s book.

He is young and has time to learn from his mistakes.

This jazba reminds me when he came to our national team.

 

[Titan24]

Big wicket of Malan

 

[Hawkeye]

Its surprising that no franchise was interested in Imad as platinum when he was demoted to diamond by KK.

Lost KK in 2018.

Lost KK in 2019.

Will lose KK in 2020.

Can't bat, can't bowl.

Not sure why would anyone take Imad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Malan gone

 

[Grunge101]

Our captain takes a catch.. He takes a catch!!!!
So hes not utterly and atrociously redundant afterall.

 

[Hawkeye]

Brother, he won't be able to connect anything against half-decent bowling in the right areas.

Both Shadab and Imad aren't proper hitters.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hussain Talat , faheem Ashraf , Asif Ali , Amad Butt still to come , IU need to keep foot on the pedal.

 

[Mueez]

Brother, he won't be able to connect anything against half-decent bowling in the right areas.

Both Shadab and Imad aren't proper hitters.

Yes, international cricket is totally different than league cricket.

However, I hope they can improve their batting and bowling skills.

 

[MRSN]

Our captain takes a catch.. He takes a catch!!!!
So hes not utterly and atrociously redundant afterall.

the shot he played to get out was very stupid. Another achievement unlocked by Aqib to appoint a hack like him as their captain.

 

[ZamanFan]

Misbah neing shown the mirror that foreign players are'nt the most bankable. Rizwan Hussain waz required in Malan's place.

 

[RehanG]

Shadab a batsman now.

 

[Titan24]

the shot he played to get out was very stupid. Another achievement unlocked by Aqib to appoint a hack like him as their captain.

How many more achievements to go?

 

[Justcrazy]

very good hit.

 

[Titan24]

Misbah neing shown the mirror that foreign players are'nt the most bankable. Rizwan Hussain waz required in Malan's place.

Malan is ranked 4th in T20 international rankings so you cant blame him. Also played a pretty good knock for IU in the first match.

When Steyn will join in few days, one of Malan or Munro will have to make way and then I think we might see Rizwan.

 

[shariqnoor]

Just get Shaheen in for 1 over at Shadab and he'll be gone.

 

[Titan24]

Shadab’s highest score in PSL

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab is a top order bat as he has already shown in tests

 

[shariqnoor]

It will be the most Qalandar thing if they lose the game tonight.

 

[MRSN]

How many more achievements to go?

to milk LQ boss for another season would be next one.

 

[ammar_merry]

what a shot this is

 

[Titan24]

Wow! That is one hell of a shot to get to 50

 

[Darkness]

Btw am interested to know why isn't zafar gohar playing?

 

[MRSN]

It will be the most Qalandar thing if they lose the game tonight.

It's the most qalandar thing to allow no body like Shadab smash them all parts of the ground for a match winning knock

 

[Justcrazy]

very good hit.

 

[Titan24]

Shadab gone. Key wicket for LQ, never thought I would be saying this

 

[Justcrazy]

shadab gone , but he has played his part

 

[Titan24]

Btw am interested to know why isn't zafar gohar playing?

One emerging player is a must and Shadab along with Shafi (Emerging) make two spinners.

 

[MRSN]

on a positive note if Shadab can bat like this he will be a big bonus for us. We badly need a good all rounder.

 

[Khan12]

Well played shadab should bat in the top order from now on.

 

[Rayyman]

Shadab gone. Key wicket for LQ, never thought I would be saying this

Good intent from Shadab today.

But it wasn’t a great innings. It was very loose bowling against him and he was still out twice.

 

[Justcrazy]

IU need some small cameos from rest of there all rounders

 

[ZamanFan]

Shadab showing the world crooks like Malik.batting ahead him while he is batting on no.7 for last 3 yearz, SHAME.

 

[Grunge101]

Raufs been off color both games.. His off pace as well so might not be fully fit

 

[Titan24]

Good intent from Shadab today.

But it wasn’t a great innings. It was very loose bowling against him and he was still out twice.

Yes but, thing is that he showed glimpses of skills which can be developed if he works hard.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Is there much dew that is playing in?

 

[Rayyman]

on a positive note if Shadab can bat like this he will be a big bonus for us. We badly need a good all rounder.

This hacky batting won’t work at the international level.

 

[Titan24]

Raufs been off color both games.. His off pace as well so might not be fully fit

Has played more cricket in the last two months than he has played in his entire life if we exclude tape ball cricket. However, that is how his bowling muscles with Hard bowl will develop

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is over 10 now , cannot let it escalate too much

 

[ARK Rafay]

Ingram is in form and Samit Patel is feeding in.

 

[Justcrazy]

ingram connects one , they need one of those every over now.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

on a positive note if Shadab can bat like this he will be a big bonus for us. We badly need a good all rounder.

I said this before he genuinely can bat unlike Faheem But if he work hard both on his bowling and batting then i dont see why he can't be a Match winner . He played a genuine All rounder inning today

 

[ZamanFan]

Lahore not out of tbe woods this is the best batting pitch PSL has ever seen.

 

[Justcrazy]

more

Ingram on fire.

 

[Titan24]

This hacky batting won’t work at the international level.

He has 3 test 50s and 3 ODI 50s as well so its not like he doesnt have skills

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is just poor bowling. Ingram is so strong in that area

 

[MRSN]

uff man Ingram has played some delightful shots. some hugw sixes

 

[MRSN]

one too many from Ingram

 

[Titan24]

IU back in the game big time and LQ against loosing it somewhere in between

 

[Titan24]

Ingram was a big miss by SA along with Russouw

 

[ARK Rafay]

Incredible cameo by Ingram. He has shifted the momentum in towards IU favor.

Asif Ali, Amad Butt, Hussain Talat and Faheem Ashraf left. You'd expect them to win the game now.

 

[MRSN]

I said this before he genuinely can bat unlike Faheem But if he work hard both on his bowling and batting then i dont see why he can't be a Match winner . He played a genuine All rounder inning today

that is if he works hard on his game than antics like Shehzad

 

[Darkness]

Idk why I'm leaning towards the idea of gladiators or uniteds to win this time

 

[Rayyman]

Sohail Akhtar is a good captain

 

[Titan24]

Ingram’s wicket has put LQ on top here

 

[ZamanFan]

Ingram before getting out has knocked out the deficit by half making it easy for Islamabad. Asif Ali still there.

 

[Justcrazy]

22 runs off an over and a wicket.
