Multan Sultans defeat Islamabad United by 9 wickets in 22nd match of PSL 5

[PakPremi]

Shadab will lose us this match.

He's not a proper hitter and can't go at it from ball one.

Asif Ali should have been sent in.

Asif Ali when did he play any inning of substance.

 

[Hawkeye]

At 125-130kph

Yes, he's chucking and still can't generate pace.

 

[Abdullah719]

That faster ball from Afridi had some serious pace...

 

[ARK Rafay]

Multan Sultans might need to send Afridi as an opener or no. 3. Target is going to be 100+

 

[MMHS]

Yes, pathetic umpiring. They don't know what conclusive evidence is.

And not calling Junaid either for chucking.

Also, Umpires should notice players instincts - instant first reaction which is often impulsive rather than calculative (brain doesn't calculate). RR's first reaction was an attempt to run-out at other end, which suggests, he wasn't confident either.

 

[ARK Rafay]

That faster ball from afridi had some serious pace...

What was the speed?

 

[Rayyman]

Multan are so bad

 

[Titan24]

What was the speed?

If I am not wrong he once touched 130s in his international days.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

He can't do it like genuine hitters can. We've been posting underwhelming totals and losing.

lets wait for todays game ... i aint no fan of him but he has been phenominal this season

cant blame him for the losses .. him as a batsmen i mean

 

[Danyaalr01]

That faster ball from Afridi had some serious pace...

I still remember watching Afridi clean bowl Southee with a 134 kph thunderboult in Eden Park first ball, 2011.

 

[Rayyman]

What an innings from Munro

Man of the match

 

[PakPremi]

He can't do it like genuine hitters can. We've been posting underwhelming totals and losing.

Not because of Shadab his strike has been very high, and ISB only lost because of rain yesterday

 

[Abdullah719]

What was the speed?

Wasn't shown, but Munro was hurried by it.

 

[Rayyman]

Shadab struggling

 

[Hawkeye]

Shadab is only 10 off 8.

And is struggling to hit right now.

He can't do what Munro just did, dispatch 3 or more sixes per over.

We need genuine hitting.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shadab has to make up now. Otherwise Isl U will be short of runs

 

[Forum363]

Zafar Gohar dropped again????? Absolutely pathetic from Islamabad. Shortened match or not - dropping your best spinner is criminal.

You can see now with Tahir and Mooen both getting the breakthroughs.

 

[Titan24]

Smart from Moen

 

[Hawkeye]

Shadab has to make up now. Otherwise Isl U will be short of runs

He can't do that.

He's being super selfish. There's a difference between taking responsibility and being selfish.

Today was not his position to come early. He's not a proper hitter.

He has caused a collapsed now because he was batting too slow.

 

[Titan24]

Zafar Gohar dropped again????? Absolutely pathetic from Islamabad. Shortened match or not - dropping your best spinner is criminal.

But Afridi was dispatched, 9 overs and bit wet conditions, so cant blame IU

 

[Hawkeye]

Will put up a poor total, we keep losing and setting underwhelming totals.

Thanks to Shadab.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Seems like a slow pitch, ball isn't really coming on. Batsmen are having to force it.

 

[ammar_merry]

bowling hasbeen really good.

 

[MMHS]

IU will need close to 125 here. That was the winning range in T10 cricket on UAE tracks. This Pindi track is much better.

 

[Shams123]

Spinners are bowling yorkers. Wow

 

[ARK Rafay]

100 will be a really good target

 

[Danyaalr01]

lol. Tahir swearing at Shadab.

 

[Shams123]

Imran Tahir is a genuine match winner.

 

[Titan24]

Tahir bowling really well considering everything

 

[cricket.mad]

Why does this guy imran their behave like a clown for each and every random wicket?
Pathetic gestures

 

[PakPremi]

Shadab is only 10 off 8.

And is struggling to hit right now.

He can't do what Munro just did, dispatch 3 or more sixes per over.

We need genuine hitting.

Not all batsmen are big hitters and also scorers of enough runs to contribute meaningfully.

 

[Forum363]

But Afridi was dispatched, 9 overs and bit wet conditions, so cant blame IU

And Tahir takes another, with another two skiers.

You have to take the risk with the quality spinners.

 

[Danyaalr01]

what are ISLU doing. Trying too hard.

 

[MRSN]

Slater really want an Oppo phone

 

[Forum363]

Brilliant bowling from Tahir.

Still can’t believe Islamabad dropped Zafar because it’s a shortened game.

 

[MRSN]

what are ISLU doing. Trying too hard.

It's 9 overs. What else are they going to do

 

[PakPremi]

Will put up a poor total, we keep losing and setting underwhelming totals.

Thanks to Shadab.

How is it Shadab fault he went for shots giving his wicket away twice.

 

[Shams123]

All are trying to hit straight. Why not innovate and try reverse or normal sweeps.

 

[Hawkeye]

Not all batsmen are big hitters and also scorers of enough runs to contribute meaningfully.

Yes and Shadab was a pathetic choice to come under that situation.

He's not a proper genuine hitter.

If we lose, it's on him.

 

[Titan24]

2 overs 13/2 is exceptional in a 9 overs match

 

[MRSN]

Asif what a hack

 

[Danyaalr01]

It's 9 overs. What else are they going to do

Some deliveries that aren't there to hit should be knocked into gaps. a single or 2 is better than a wicket. Like some balls aren't there to sweep, but they are stretching as far as possible to slog sweep, getting no power in the shot, and playing really far from the body, with no timing.

 

[minamino]

The so called invincibles lmao

 

[ARK Rafay]

Perfect opportunity for Amad Butt to deliver with the bat.

 

[Titan24]

Junaid has also bowled pretty well till now

 

[PakPremi]

Shadab must have caused Asif Alim

 

[shah_1]

China ka do number Butler OUT

 

[Shams123]

Asif what a hack

He just dont have the range to be a genuine hitter. Very limited.

 

[Hawkeye]

Some posters were right about Shadab being too arrogant
and annoying.

He's also tactically clueless.

 

[Grunge101]

What is Tahir so ****** off about..swearing and shouting at Munro after he dismissed it and then doing it again looking at someone in the crowd/team dugout after dismissing Shadab.

 

[Hawkeye]

The so called invincibles lmao

Shadab with his clueless captaincy undid that.

 

[Shams123]

What is Tahir so ****** off about..swearing and shouting at Munro after he dismissed it and then doing it again looking at someone in the crowd/team dugout after dismissing Shadab.

He is just too passionate.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Asif Ali... 1 word ... lol...

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan and Amad two youngsters at the end. Lets see what they can do

 

[Rayyman]

Show the cricket wth

 

[Omer Baloch]

Islu breaking down

 

[PakPremi]

Yes and Shadab was a pathetic choice to come under that situation.

He's not a proper genuine hitter.

If we lose, it's on him.

And which super hitter should have come please dont say Asif Ali?

 

[Hawkeye]

Self-destruction.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Easy single there. Ammad caught ball watching.

 

[minamino]

Love this passion from Tahir, I wish he was playing for LQ

 

[Shams123]

Disgusting behavior from Rizwan

 

[Titan24]

Poor running

 

[Forum363]

Absolutely shambolic from Islamabad. Their batsmen unable to take singles, running each other out and then getting angry at each other.

What happened to the champion team we’ve seen for the past four seasons?

 

[ARK Rafay]

And which super hitter should have come please dont say Asif Ali?

In these sort of games runs at low S/R hurts the most than a 1st ball dismissal.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Should have sent in Musa.

 

[Rayyman]

I miss Haris Rauf bowling is he back today

 

[Hawkeye]

Lol clueless Amad Butt.

Yet another loser who was hyped to the moon here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Said it earlier they're going to struggle

On top they've gone with Steyn, Akif, Musa, Rumman, Amad - that is way too many fast bowlers named in a 9 over game. Gohar should have been there instead of Musa or someone else.

 

[Forum363]

Today shows just how much Shadab’s batting has saved Islamabad. All those armchair critics who have been saying he bats too slowly etc and there are superstars waiting in the dugout got to see how rubbish Islamabad’s middle and lower order is.

 

[ARK Rafay]

I must say captaincy has been spot on by Shan Masood.

 

[Rayyman]

Lol

 

[ammar_merry]

what batting

 

[Hawkeye]

Absolutely shambolic from Islamabad. Their batsmen unable to take singles, running each other out and then getting angry at each other.

What happened to the champion team we’ve seen for the past four seasons?

Here comes the agenda driven hater who can see the most number of youngsters in ISLU yet rants and cries about imaginary things.

Pathetic show by local players today specially Shadab, Amad Butt and Rizwan.

 

[Forum363]

In these sort of games runs at low S/R hurts the most than a 1st ball dismissal.

Asif wasted 4 balls too

 

[Rellu_Katta]

cannot hit tanver?? come on Ammad Buttt.... thts useless

 

[minamino]

Credit goes to Shadab if ISLU lose this

 

[ammar_merry]

Lol clueless Amad Butt.

Yet another loser who was hyped to the moon here.

He has one shot which he only connect once in a while

 

[ARK Rafay]

Asif wasted 4 balls too

It happens and I'm not defending Asif Ali but there are more good batsman and hitter than Shadab. Ingram and Rizwan.

What’s imaginary? Are you watching the game, the commentators were shocked at Rizwan’s reaction.

It’s been poor from everyone today with the exception of Munro.

 

[Titan24]

Not the first time a player has been promoted based upon form rather pretty common in all the leagues
