Good to see blessing muzrabani get a go today

 

[Moiz14]

Really looking forward to seeing the Umar guy bowl today... Very impressed by the youngster

 

[Rana]

Once again Umar jagging it around

Good bowler!

 

[Rana]

Rizwan trying to manufacture shots towards leg

 

[Rana]

Rizwan 8 off 8

[silentkiller187]

Rizwan 8 off 8

Dw rizzy got those extra gears, tuk tuk at its best

 

[Rana]

Excellent emphasis on ground shots by the two openers

 

[finalfantasy7]

rizwan now accelerating 28* from 15balls, barbar are you watching ?

 

[Rana]

Ben Cutting has been great in the field

 

[silentkiller187]

10 runs per over without breaking a sweat, couple boundaries and singles is all it takes, if only others could learn the value of singles and twos in t20 they wouldn't eat so much biriyani to pile on the extra "power"

 

[silentkiller187]

These two defo up there as the best opening pair in psl

 

[Saj]

Bowl a rubbish delivery and then glare at the fielder.

Great stuff.

 

[Extra_Cover]

Rizzy is an inspiration. Lucky to have such a player in our team, he is definitely good for the team morale. Shaan showing improvement in this tournament too. Shaan if he has good PSL can break back into test side given Abid Ali is now unfortunately out.

 

[transparent opacity]

 

[Rana]

On par batting on this track. I think they need more than 200

 

[finalfantasy7]

wahab with a missfield, 4 from it

 

[Rana]

Some terrible fielding

 

[Extra_Cover]

Fielding is such an important aspect of T20 cricket yet we have seen poor fielding on a consistent basis in this tournament. Only Isb to an extent has decent fielding unit rest largely are poor fielding sides.

 

[Rana]

Shan gone.

Soft dismissal

 

[shamaan]

Multan need 190

 

[asadee]

Rizwan scores 50s for Fun what a batsman!!

 

[PakEngFan]

Rizwan scores 50s for Fun what a batsman!!

But but sharjeel is better.

 

[shamaan]

Apparently Rizwan has no offside game

 

[silentkiller187]

Sharjeel makes 10 runs in less balls so he is the better batsmen, all about setting the platform guys

 

[finalfantasy7]

shoaib maqsood is really poor, this should be his last psl,

if multan had a decent number 3 or even no.4 they would unstoppable - that john charles is also poor.

tim david should bat at 4 for multan

 

[Gullycricket]

Rizwan is what succeeds. Virat showed it too in his prime. Run singles doubles hard and you can keep with the big guys.

 

[PakEngFan]

Apparently Rizwan has no offside game

Coming from a guy who said zeeshan ashraf is better then rizwan.

which deluded poster came up with that analysis , ashraf probably the most unnatural keeper I've ever seen

 

[Gullycricket]

If i have to guess it will be someone who has a knack of backing the most failures and not seeing what's in front

 

[Gullycricket]

Shot

 

[Gullycricket]

A SR of 165 but but we need Sharjeel who can't even buy a run

 

[PakEngFan]

A well known Babar and Rizwan hater. Not hard to guess.

 

[shamaan]

Coming from a guy who said zeeshan ashraf is better then rizwan.

Who said zeeshan ashraf is better than Rizwan and how long ago was it if I did say it.

 

[Gullycricket]

Sharjeel fans have to do a lot of disappearing from last one year . And the misery continue for them with Rizwan

 

[PakEngFan]

Who said zeeshan ashraf is better than Rizwan and how long ago was it if I did say it.

A certain poster called Rana said it last year.

 

[PakEngFan]

This should be maqsood’s last game. He’s truly awful nowadays.

 

[silentkiller187]

Rana was here earlier seems to go missing when rizzy is on form

 

[shamaan]

A certain poster called Rana said is last year.

I thought you was on about me

 

[sweep_shot]

Rizwan is turning out to be the Bradman of T20.

 

[Rana]

PZ have been atrocious in the field

 

[Rana]

A lot will depend on Zazai today

He has that Impact for his side that can be crucial to chase close to 200. Don’t think PZ have the depth to chase a big score if one of their 2 openers doesn’t fire

 

[silentkiller187]

PZ have been atrocious in the field

No credit for the batting

 

[Rana]

Wow Maqsood unloading

 

[Rana]

MS have assessed the track

They will need 200-210 here

 

[Rana]

Very well bowled Qadir

 

[finalfantasy7]

at last shoaib out and david in, first ball a six

 

[Rana]

Great hitter David

 

[Moiz14]

Usman qadir is a rubbish bowler, I wish Zahid mehmood had been given half opportunities as many as this guy has got.. Still no improvement... 2 to 3 poor balls each over.. Thats not international quality

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic fielding should have caught it

 

[Rana]

PZ deserve to lose today

This reminds me of Pakistan performances of 2004-5 under Inzimam. They could be good on their day but attrocious in the field 70% of the time!

 

[Amjid Javed]

David just swinging wildly at everything.

137/2 after 14

200+ needed here

 

[Rana]

Rizwan on 61 still anchoring

 

[Justcrazy]

MS need to make most of last 30 balls here , they have wickets in their hands

shot david, 6 off umar

 

[shamaan]

David has some power

 

[Rana]

David is the Goliath of PSL!

 

[Amjid Javed]

wow that went like a rocket to the boundary.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXX

Just what doctor ordered.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Maqsood fitness as gotten even more appalling.

 

[finalfantasy7]

clean 6 off w,riaz, another great shot

 

[Amjid Javed]

wow what a straight drive for 6. Any chance we can give him Pakistani citizenship? )

 

[TeymurBlake]

Wahab Riaz bowling this tournament has been atrocious. Age has maybe caught up?

 

[Justcrazy]

160 . 2


24 balls left

 

[shamaan]

Wahab Riaz bowling this tournament has been atrocious. Age has maybe caught up?

His speeds have been well below what he should be bowling.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tim David has been a strong hitter here.

 

[finalfantasy7]

Wahab Riaz bowling this tournament has been atrocious. Age has maybe caught up?

when was the last time be bowled well, o yeh against watson in the world cup - since then he's been awful and really expansive - generally gets hit for 9-12 runs an over in t20

 

[Rana]

wow what a straight drive for 6. Any chance we can give him Pakistani citizenship? )

How can you learn to play cricket this well in Singapore? Amazing!

 

[TeymurBlake]

Viki yelling at everyone else except himself.

 

[Saj]

Wahab losing it out there.

Bowling and fielding has by and large been clueless.

 

[shamaan]

when was the last time be bowled well, o yeh against watson in the world cup - since then he's been awful and really expansive - generally gets hit for 9-12 runs an over in t20

I agree but he doesn't even look like he's going to take a wicket.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan needs to give maximum strike to David

Every ball is a potential 6 run ball with Dave on strike. The man only deals in sixes!
