Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings | PSL - 5th match | Dubai | Feb 16, 2019 | LQ innings

fakhar is turning out to be a poor mans sharjeel khan

Wrong comparison - you could have said rich man's Awais Zia. SK was totally different beast - played shots with power but played shots on proper merit; he was gradually improving and got banned just after his best series with few months under Arthur, at his peak years. This guy is fading away after 2 years with Arthur and getting out almost every time ugly way.
 
take umer khan to the world cup as our main spinner

Too early to call. Let him perform throughout the tournament and if he really has a good tournament then Aus ODIs can be good oppurtunity for him
 
Early prediction: Umer Khan to be brought into the Pakistan squad for the AUS series
 
This kid (umer) is really impressive so far. Thank God he got chance ahead of Usama Mir
 
Qallanders are probably cursed by every Pakistani outside Lahore :( - whoever plays for them somehow forgets his game. I can see Shaheen hit almost a half century last time.........

nah i'll stick with poor mans sharjeel khan

looks good so far and should definitely be in the australia series.

we haven't had a proper spinner since abdur rehman, saeed ajmal days
 
Sohail's problem is his stamina from natural aging - he is almost 35 now, being born probably as 5 years old .... otherwise his skill sets and physical attributes were perfect for No. 9 bowling all-rounder, may be even No. 8. He is 6'4" ish, can/could out swing it at pace, could reverse as well and he definitely can swing bat. Ideally, he should have been PAK regular from 2009 after a phenomenal domestic debut (probably a record), but he was debuted on a wicket for which the curator should have been banned for life and that cost him cool 6-7 years - by the time officially he crossed retirement age of Imran's scouting mantra. The way he started FC career at official 23, I am sure he was delayed there as well by at least 3-4 years. Ideally PAK pacers should debut in FC at U18 and in International at U23, preferably at U19 like Shaheen.

Sohail was definitely no mug with the bat. More of an AR than Ashraf.

He nearly even saved a Test v ENG at Edgbaston.
 
Spinners are having a good time today. Hopefully Hafeez and Devcich will bowl alongside Yasir Shah
 
don't whats the problem with the Lahore
they had gayle , macculum and now AB
next they should sign Kohli
 
I think, this is day 3 & 5th game on this venue, so it's reaching towards it's originality. 150ish total should be fight-able here, but KK are favorites now.
 
Doesn't Umer Khan bowl like Shakib Ul Hasan?

Shakib is slightly taller and a bit more side on, which gives him more conventional turn and that makes his armer lethal on turners. This kid is more chest on, but the action indeed resembles.
 
What a useless tournament. Would be better if Pak. players get rest. Likes of Fakhar, Babar, Sarfraz, Imad, Amir, Hasan and Shaheen have no business playing in this competition.
 
Hafeez is DEFINITELY NOT FIT enough .... he'll cost PAK in WC if someone doesn't do that YoYo test honestly 0 in good faith and without negligence. Half of the PAK squad was unfit in SAF, Sarfraz is scoring 18.2 and here Hafeez is playing for 4 months now since Asia cup apparently with full fitness. ........ then they dropped Umer on fitness ground!!!!!
 
Brendan Taylor is Zimbabwe's best batsman. However since his comeback from a county stint his form has been poor.
 
Including foreigners, every LQ player next time should recite Sura Naas 3 times before every game and Haris should lead the chorus .... his ghost has followed him to this franchise.

Don't only Haris has a ghost on him. As for the past 3 years they've finished at the bottom of the table

Toothless bowling from Shinwari, has totally lost it

For 3 years LQ has finished bottom and enjoyed top draft picks next year - if they do it again, this time should trade top pick with others and pick the left over players - it might work.
 
who the hell is in charge of the pitches?

you've had great games the past few days and then we have today's 2 dull matches.

:facepalm:

awful
 
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] hafeez is keeping saad ali and haris Sohail out for devcish and taylor.
