So a below par target - but can Islamabad United defend 125/7 (20.0 Ovs) ?

This is why there's usually no crowds. Who the hell wants to watch teams struggle to 120 odd
 
This what marketing and brand experts want to see. Samit Patel bowling to Johnson Charles in UAE conditions when the ball isn't coming onto the bat.

:salute
 
Shan Masood should have been made captain of MS so we can see what he can do as a captain.
 
Johnson Charles gone. But as long as he builds the brand that's all that matters. :broad

Yet whenever I point out PSL is of average quality some fans jump on me saying it belongs in the same company as IPL.
 
God I hate this allied bank aap ke dil me hamara account....:dw


Shan shot boi :4: Cover Drive
 
Our guys should see how some of these foreign players are fielding in the outfield. Anticipation in each and every single delivery and sprinting across massively and diving skidding around stopping the balls that would be 4 against Pakistan but here just conceding a single.
 
Last few games for Shadab in PSL, in international T20 and ODIs have been his worst bowling figures.
 
Perfect chance for Hammad to make a statement here.
 
Never judge a score or pitch until both teams have batted.... looks like it might be a tough chase for Multan.
 
damn, sami is only 37.

he could have easily played the 2015 world cup, would have been better than ehsan adil and rahat ali
 
Last year, among few suggestions to improve PSL, among top one of mine was to reduce quota of foreign players. There is absolutely no reason to play Walton as opener for his pass-port and pay top dollars. They should reduce foreign quota to 4 (2 in playing XI), and uncap the budget for foreigners. PSL doesn't have the window and it's the busiest time in calendar, therefore unless it pays obnoxious amount, in any case won't get more than top 15-20 players at most.

In ODI or Test is different issue, but PAK's domestic resources are rich enough for T20, for PSL not to entertain half of these foreigners (& most of the rest half are selling their career profile after retirement, more than their cricket).

i think you need a balance.

those 4 foreigners need to be of top quality and willing to play in pakistan

4 is perfect.
 
Why is Pak fans are so negative in everything. Blame pitches blame bo crowd in the stadium. What can PCB do to bring people in, when pakistani people who are working there are working for their families to be fed, so they cant come everytime and all the time.

Pitches well i have seen in IPL pitches like this as well. U dont want high scoring all the times it gets boring. I like this pitch.
 
Hammad azam till now gets nervous in important stages of the match. While he was finishing matches at U19 level.

Havent been given a ball yet in PSL

Bhai we are not playing in 10 different cities. We are playing in 3 venues, so u will expect pitches changes sooner than later.

there was no reason to change the pitch on the third day.

t20s are all about high scoring.
 
Azam has a good tempremeant. I can remember him winning a game for us against West Indies in 2011. He should have been given a longer run.

He should concentrate on his batting as his bowling isn't good enough.

Ipl has been there for 11 years while its just 4th edition of PSL. Comparison at this stage of PSL which is the youngest league is not justified.

However it still has created an impact in his early days.

PSL will never be close to the IPL. IPL has elite talent and does back Indian talent. PSL does neither . Furthermore playing so many games in the UAE doesn't help.

I don't understand why he was dropped after that performance in the West Indies. He had good tempremeant. Everything else will come after that.

only way psl will be close or better than ipl is by playing matches in pakistan (which will ensure full houses) and offering more money, a lot more money to attract the top players.

in the west indies in 2011, he only score 36 at a rate of 56
 
After watching Hammad's innings in the U19 WC against Ind, I thought that we will build a team around him but looking at him today you can see that he is awful. Whatever happened to that talent.

Bold one is never going to happen, even if they are willing to play in PAK. PSL window is between JAN-MAR, when you won't get players from AUS, SAF and most likely NZ as well and unless they are playing against each others, means they are blocking 3 more teams; add to that IND's home series, basically hardly any regular international for full 5 weeks.

This is where the 2nd suggestions come, which is used in BPL - pay as you play rotational squad.

It's about money - it's fortunate for us that APR-MAY is the best time for T20 in IND, otherwise they could have made it DEC-JAN and Aussies, Poms, Saffers would have sucked fingers on Boxing day & new years week.

Cricket economy is polarized and add to their benefit we have PCB like boards to screw-up relations - otherwise this year only Shakib is playing in IPL - it was possible to play 6-7 games ODI series during IPL period.

the two countries that should have always been supporting each other are pakistan and bangladesh but like you said what can you do when pcb is top notch is screwing relations
