Multan Sultans vs Karachi Kings | PSL - 10th match | Multan | Feb 28, 2020 | Match Thread

Its getting more clear now. Imad is not suitable for captaincy. Average players will always be insecure. Babar should lead Karachi kings from the next game.

Seems unlikely. Imad has a very strong backing from salman the owner of kk.
 
Umer Khan took wickets of quite a few lefties in previous PSL but somehow Imad didnt trust him today
 
Wow. Shan turned it around in the same match where he was struggling big time
 
Better finish from Shan now but a very poor start to the innings today. Sucked all the momentum and batted way too slowly.
 
Imad’s decision of bowling part timers in last 5, 6 overs can only be said as poor
 
This is ridiculous. I didn’t even realise Umer Khan was playing . Not a single over , and delport and Ifti get 7 overs between them and for loads of runs .
 
One inning will not turn him into a world beater. He will always be a mediocre player. :shan

I am not convinced with this innings tbh - Started hitting too late where in international cricket most teams will have GUN bowlers all the way through
 
has imad been bribed...i am a bit confused...

Imad bowling one over yet is pak international cricketer

Umar khan not bowled at all....
 
Good innngs from Shan. Credit goes to Imad too for feeding him Iftikhar and delport when he was struggling badly.

Its a pre match plan to not bowl left arm spin to left handers - A plan that has gone wrong

Imad was feeding him mighty part timers delport and iftikhar. He was clearly struggling after Moin's dismissal.

Yuo pre-match plan of not bowling left arm spin to left hand batsmen has not worked and back fired on Karachi kings management

He has steadily improved in every format over the past few years. Primarily a Test player and his form in the longer format has been there for everyone to see.

Everybody knows he's not a T20 player but his mentality and will to improve is commendable. He's been given the responsibility of captaining the side and he's played two good innings in 4 matches now.

Nobody's saying he should be in the Pak T20 squad but the "He doesn't deserve to play for Multan" brigade needs to settle down.
 
Karachi has bought two very good spinners usama mir and umar khan. Both have yet to get a proper chance. If you dont need someone then release him so other franchises can buy him.

He showed great mental toughness today. At one point his knock was really making him look stupid but he recovered well.

+1 I wanted to see both of them playing. Its a farce really.

They should have played usama mir instead of Umar khan if the plan was to not bowl left arm spinners to MS left handers
 
Camera work has been really poor, not a single time we have seen Imad reaction whenever bowlers are going for runs.

To be honest most sides have gone with 1 specialist spinner in playing XI in PSL this season probably due to conditions however, it still doesn’t justify selecting Umer Khan and not even giving him a single over.
 
I wasn't aware that Umer & Usama are KK players. If these two, at least one of them don't play regularly then I am not sure what's the purpose to picking specialist spinners.
 
My mistake - it's worse actually. UK is in playing XI to bat at No. 11. You can't give a better example of the mockery that is called emerging quota in PSL.

Really good post. This is what I have been saying.

Shan isn't a great t20 player, but making him the captain wasn't the worst decision as he's fit, smart and has shown the will to improve his game.
 
Umar also didnt play fc cricket and national t20 I suppose.

Did play for 2nd xi but other than one match of national T20 he didnt play much for first xi i think

Some one should ask Imad this question in the presentation ceremony. What was the logic of playing Umer khan?

He will definitely blame too many left arm batsmen in MS. But then the question arises why play him in the first place.
 
Just listen at those roaring cheers from the crowd when Khushdil takes a single and Afridi gets the strike.
 
Saw the reaction of crowd when afridi came to play
God when we are Going to see crowd going gaga on this generation's pakistani players
Indeed Legends remain legends
 
Out of top 8 batters of MS 6 are lefties, so if that was plan to not bowl umer to lefties then why he was included in the playing XI?

Its not any plan, its simply shoddy captaincy by Imad.
 
Multan is not utilizing Afridi correctly. Come on owners and management, people are there for entertainment and this is not an ICC event that you would go with the preplanned batting order to ensure stability in the batting lineup. What's the point of sending Afridi for two or three deliveries where crowd has to witness hit and miss attempts. Just look at this mediocre Khushdil who was unable to clear boundary but was more interested in running doubles knowing that Afridi is already there for hitting purpose.

Yet it is the arrogance of Multan's team management to keep him in the dugout till last two overs, from entertaining the crowd.

Indeed
But i guess they
Send khusdil shah ahead of afridi
Because he is actually future
If he. Plays well will be good for pakistan
Afridi heroics not gonna give something to pakistan
But they could have send him instead of bopara
 
Why Umer khan didn't bowled today? I didn't saw the match just seen the scorecard & was shocked that Umer was playing but he didn't even bowl a single over. 🤦*♂️ 🤦*♂️ 🤦*♂️

Multan were playing spin well and they had mostly left handers hitting into the wind. That’s why Imad only bowled one.
 
Babar should get Sharjeel in his ODI and T20 squads if he passes fitness tests. Guy still has the same eye and hands
 
Sharjeel is thiccccc...

How on earth these guys can't maintain fitness standards is beyond me. No discipline

Then no point of selecting him and other aged players in PSL. Khushdil was clearly struggling to clear the boundary.
 
Spin vs Sharjeel is interesting as Sharjeel can struggle against spin on occasions
 
If he ends up with a prolific PSL campaign, Sharjeel should be opening with Babar at the WT20.

His hand-eye coordination has not faded away, and if he comes off, he is going to be more dangerous than Fakhar.
 
Sharjeel looks unfit and like a tulla. He had two years to get into shape and look what he has done.
 
Sharjeel always was and always will be an overrated player. A homeless man’s Warner.

The way our fans raved about him over the last few years was ridiculous. You would think he was meant to be our savior in Limited Overs.

Only marginally better than Fakhar, but an overrated hack nonetheless.

Yeah bring more fixers back into team. So that our young players would do the same thing. Why not bring Salman & Asif back as well.

I think you have a thing for tullas otherwise the performance of Sharjeel doesn't warrant a place in international cricket.
