Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi | PSL - Match 8 | Multan | Feb 26, 2020 | Match Thread

[Titan24]

That was a beauty from Ilyas.

 

[ZamanFan]

Peshawar Zalmi doing zulam against themselves. Goofy batting by them another soft dismissal.

 

[Omer2002]

Shot haiderrrrr

 

[Rellu_Katta]

time for peshawar to drop Malik, Livingston and probably Tom Banton

Umar Amin and Imam are much better than the three above... need them in the XI ..

maybe Tom Banton could bat in the middle order ...

 

[asadee]

What a shot by Haider

 

[m.shah]

That was some shot from Haider

 

[Omer2002]

if he survives the power play Dawson needs to tell him to stay there and get singles now

 

[Pakhs]

Refreshing to see such a crowd in Pakistan

 

[Shams123]

Well we shoulnt compare haider with babar and make hime play like him. Both are different players. What we should judge him on his shot selection and batting technique.

 

[Greenstorm]

Thats how you treat trundlers.

 

[Forum363]

Multan's biggest issue is their powerplay bowling and they are winning the game in this section!

Poor from Zalmi to throw it away but the effective planning from Multan on clear show here.

 

[ChTab]

Looks like Haider is batting on different pitch. What a shot

 

[ZamanFan]

Haider looks like on a holy war against parchi culture. Is hell bent on showing what real talent is compared to parchi Malik and parchi Akmal.

 

[Shams123]

Four venues is reflecting the lack of talent available in commentary box. I wish we had bishop or nassir hussain in this tournament.

 

[m.shah]

Such a good crowd in this game

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=151482]ZamanFan[/MENTION] chill bro, y bringing in Parchi angle in this discussion. Haider is good but just calm down dude.

 

[minamino]

Haider's power hitting is much better than Babar.

 

[ZamanFan]

Can understand your pain as Akmal fan.

 

[Omer2002]

i smell a run out somewhere...

 

[Greenstorm]

Haider looks like on a holy war against parchi culture. Is hell bent on showing what real talent is compared to parchi Malik and parchi Akmal.

He somehow managed to breakthrough in the playing XI. Otherwise parchis have not allowed the likes of Zeeshan Malik and Saud to even participate in PSL.

 

[m.shah]

Brill stop from moen

 

[asadee]

His feet move well against spinners too

 

[ZamanFan]

Nice planning by Multan,
employed spinners from both ends. Will be tough for Haider to mantain high strike rate.

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=151482]ZamanFan[/MENTION] bro I am no Akmal fan, just pak fan and want players who can give pak best **** at winning next t20wc, that's it.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

abs loving the aggession from Haider Ali but some1 needs to talk to him to play the 20 overs now

he is young and inexperienced but there isnt anyone around him to guide him through

 

[Bigboii]

What you are calling selfishness is match awareness, yes sometimes judgement of match situation can be wrong. That is what Haider needs to show now, he is still young so I can understand if he gives it away but would be impressed if he develops a good partnership here.

I honestly meant selfishness in a good way I am not taking a dig at Babar I am saying Haider should follow his footsteps and play as many balls as possible since he is the best batsman so he should play the most balls
Ricky pointing said that he was very selfish when he was batting but he knew it would help the team so that's what I meant by asking Haider to be selfish

 

[Pakhs]

Nice innings from Haider so far

 

[Titan24]

Haider's power hitting is much better than Babar.

Babar's role in every format is to bat through since the time he joined Pak team. He does have a power game as I have mentioned multiple times in other threads. We rarely get to see it because he has to bat through time and time again for Pak and that role requires high percentage shots. That being said there is roam for improvement in finishes.

Thanks for clarification.

Also babar plays in Kohli's style. Whereas Haider likes to play like Rohit Sharma.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Good to hear Waqar happy with cricket back in his homeground.

 

[ZamanFan]

This kid Haider Ali is a real talent. Pitch is superb for batting but seniors of Zalmi have already surrendered on just wicket to wicket bowling while he is just a U19 arrival with so much maturity. Just check his position when he is about to play the bowl, so reminding of another great Zaheer Abbas.

 

[Omer2002]

should have got his 50 unlucky but definately the wrong shot

 

[MMHS]

Malik really gives a scary feeling - PAK will take him to Australia and how on God's good earth this guy is going to play at 4 there!!! No one is going to play 3 spinners and most likely 16 overs will be bowled by pacers. This guy wasn't that great against bounce even in his late 20s, now he is 39, officially!!!! Hafeez at least has God gifted timing, once set, he'll score some runs against pace & bounce, this guy will keep missing balls until a slow death comes.

 

[m.shah]

Stupid shot from Haider

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Really didn't need to do that Haider

 

[badsha001]

Good shot, slight error in execution. should have given it more elevation.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Deserved his first T20 50

 

[Rellu_Katta]

wat i was afraid he will do... bad match awareness ....

but will learn from xperience

 

[minamino]

Tanvir doing well is not a good sign

 

[Titan24]

Haider should have finished the innings better nevertheless a good knock and he is still young and learning

 

[ZamanFan]

AS i posted the word mature for him, Haider Ali shows immaturity and typical overconfidence of a 19 year old. Going hard across the line at the slower deliveries. Really stupid shot when a fielder was present there.

Still this kid has shown promise will go places and mostprobably will be in the Pakistani squad soon.

 

[minamino]

Azam and Haider can easily make into Pakistan T20 team

 

[minamino]

Peshawar needs to play Umar Amin in the next match. Their tail is too long

 

[MMHS]

Is Zeeshan a regular WK or trying to be one? This is something Asif Ali should have tried - No. 6/7 pinch hitter and workable WK. He is too risky for a specialist bat, but on his day guy can indeed blast. Rizwan isn't made for T20 to be honest - he i useless at 6 or below while there are better prospects for top 5 as batsman.

 

[Titan24]

I would like Haider to play atleast one more complete season of domestic cricket as well as PSL before debuting for Pak.

 

[Forum363]

Really didn't need to do that Haider

He didn't need to play any shots. Could have taken singles for the next 5 overs, but he wanted to play aggressively and his execution wasn't perfect there.

Im glad he continued with a positive attitude.

Can you see zeeshan successful in that role.

Zeeshan Ashraf is not a wicket keeper they are forcing him to keep cos they didn't select any other keeper than Rohail and for some reason they are not playing him.

Zeeshan has kept before in domestic cricket but I am not sure. Definitely adds much more balance to any team with his keeping and actually has done decently till now as keeper.

Yeah I was also thinking how to prolong Shoaib Malik career and somehow get him in the WT20 squad.

Titan is a big supporter of tulla Asif so you can’t really expect anything from him

I agree has done ok with wicket keeping duties and also looked really good while batting the other day...

Many PPers love Malik.

Imagine a typical street guy.

And he has powerful backing in the PCB too.

Poor post.

How many First Class runs do they have, against what bowlers?

When mentioning PCB mafia dont forget mafia frontman and your favorite the Misbah ul Haq.

 

[Shams123]

ODI against ban in April will be the perfect opportunity for Haider's debut. I will keep him away from T20s atm. Odi is an ideal format to develop temperament since you wont have to swing at evey ball and the pitches are also flat.

 

[minamino]

Poor post.

What did Asif have when he made his debut for Pakistan?

 

[Omer2002]

big big mistake to drop mohammed mohsin on this pitch he can bat a bit too..if i am not mistaken he played the first game and they won an after he hasnt played and peshawar havent won any after that

 

[minamino]

Fans deserve better than this

 

[MMHS]

Can you see zeeshan successful in that role.

The role of WK is T20 is not much complicated than 1st Baseman (Baseball). Out of 120 balls, may be 10-12 will go to him directly, 1-2 knicks that doesn't cost much like Test or ODI (Unless it's of someone like rampant Gayle, Maxwell or Russell), stumpings are often half run-outs ... he is basically to gather throws from boundary. Any decent fielder, fitness providing can keep wickets in T20 - imagine Shahzad keeping and he was quite good T20 WK.

 

[Omer2002]

just noticed something why isnt there an international umpire and internation referee today

 

[Forum363]

Brilliant catch from Ashraf. I hope Multan give him a chance up the order but its unlikely.

 

[Omer Baloch]

Sammy is a liability. Should be in the dugout if Zalmi wants his presence but not on the field.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Shoudve sent hasan in first.

 

[Hawkeye]

Sammy now is as useless as they come.

Should either be the coach or booted out.

 

[minamino]

Sammy the GFN playing a Test inning

 

[minamino]

All the wickets were gifted lmao

 

[ARK Rafay]

This should be Sammy's last PSL.

 

[Omer2002]

very bad this i guess good for PSL as i do think Zalmi will bounce back but one thing is for sure this is bad news for Qalanders if Multan win again!!

 

[Shaddy86]

Sammi performing like a Pakistani national.

 

[minamino]

Sammy is playing just for humanitarian purposes.

 

[Omer2002]

I think Haider was playing on a different wicket what a capatulation this is 9 down now...

 

[Bigboii]

Haider's power hitting is much better than Babar.

And that's a bad thing good batsman's job is not to indulge in power game unless it's last few overs

 

[ZamanFan]

Zalmi showing how better Qalandars are, atleast they fight till the last man.

Multan Sultans is'nt that good a team the way PEshawar is playing them.

What a pathetic show by Zalmi

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cricket Gateway is atrocious keeps hanging and does not even say (Live ROW) on the stream either.

Keep closing and restarting their website yet does not work.

 

[Mueez]

You know what it will be a close second innings, have a feeling.

 

[PakPremi]

No one appreciating Shan's captaincy, many posters were quick to dismiss him as captain clueless.

 

[Titan24]

Sohail Tanvir was highest wicket taker in national T20 cup and doing well in PSL as well. Good going from the experienced pacer.
