[saeed5646]

Can't wait who will these Guy perform
Amad butt, Asghar ,Usama Mir ,Zafar Gohar, Zia ul haq ,Agha Salman,Saud Shakeel,

 

[Belawal2014]

Hopefully someone besides the TTFs stands out in this tourney.

 

[MenInG]

News reports state that PCB on advice from authorities have decided to cancel matches on 28th August

These will now be rescheduled

 

[MenInG]

The news circulating on the media regarding matches cancellation in Rawalpindi is baseless. The matches will take place as scheduledCB Spokeman

 

[hur rizvi]

TV coverage?

 

[MenInG]

Checked PTV Sports schedule and coverage will start around 2:30pm Pak Time

 

[GreenKnightRises]

[Abdullah]

By the end of the day - PP wil be going mad about some TTF and how they should be in our current ODI team

 

[Abdullah]

[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION]

What is the progress with Haris- not ready for these games?

 

[cricketerB94]

Hopefully we can get some power hitting and consistent openers and all rounders from this tournament.

 

[hadi123]

Will be interesting to see how the likes of Amad Butt, Zafar Gohar, Zia ul haq etc go
today

 

[#GreenRoars]

[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION]

What is the progress with Haris- not ready for these games?

ou may see him in the late November or December, but before it. It's not possible

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wooh, Misbah will be playing against Ajmal.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Why is Amir Yamin not playing?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Karachi Blues won the toss and batting first.

 

[Khan12]

Hope to see saud play but knowing misbah I doubt it. He is probably play his friends. I hope I am wrong.

 

[saeed5646]

Why is Amir Yamin not playing?

amir yamin is in fata squad

Fata Match is Tommorow

 

[dauntless]

Looking forward to see umar akmal ammad butt zafar gohar and mohd. Asghar

 

[Moiza]

The first match on sunday should definitely be post poned because pindi will already have 8-9000 medical students giving their medical college admission test on 28th, coupled with the crowd that will be coming for the match I dont see a very nice traffic situation.

 

[itsme]

Saw ahsan ali play during a previous national tournament,he looks pretty good even though he has a rubbish record so far.

 

[itsme]

Hope they don't mess with the selection and give youngsters a go.

 

[Khan12]

As expected no saud.

 

[saeed5646]

Karachi Whites






Karachi Blues Team

 

[Moiza]

Khurram manzoor, classy as ever

 

[saeed5646]

)) Khurram"DON BRADMAN"Manzoor is out for 2nd ball Duck


Early wicket to Mir Hamza

 

[Moiza]

what kind of pitch does rawalpindi generally have? Are they as dead as faislabad?

I remember the last time the domestic t20 was held at pindi the scores were of 130ish, they blamed the balls at time stating that they were too "hard"

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

No yamin?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Again playing all the games at one venue. Really pathetic by PCB.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Again playing all the games at one venue. Really pathetic by PCB.

They will play in Multan in the later stage of the tournament.

 

[Bewal Express]

Any streams?

 

[JibranAnsari]

They will play in Multan in the later stage of the tournament.

They should play two matches at different venues daily , this is very boring.

 

[hadi123]

Shahzaib smashing it everywhere. He didn't get much of a go internationally. Don't get me wrong, he is a hack but in T20s him and Sharjeel could be a good partnership

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asghar is being turned into a darter. He should avoid t20 cricket.

 

[Red Devil]

Rameez Raja always looks like a very fine player whenever I see him. I don't know why his stats are so mediocre or why he never scores runs in domestic cricket. :/

 

[Khan12]

Rameez Raja always looks like a very fine player whenever I see him. I don't know why his stats are so mediocre or why he never scores runs in domestic cricket. :/

Agree.

 

[Red Devil]

Agree.

Check out some of these shots. Looked like a supremely talented batsman here.

Another addition in the long list of players who wasted their potential.

 

[hadi123]

When will the squad to play England in the t20 be announced? Chance for players to get themselves on that plane towards Manchester. Shahzaib Hasan and Mir Hamza have impressed today

 

[Khan12]

Check out some of these shots. Looked like a supremely talented batsman here.

I have seen a lot of him got all the shots, plus a good defence but don't know why he never gets the runs. Much better then the likes of azhar, shehzad and sharjeel.

 

[Naim]

Sohail is in Afridi mood

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[sarmadsl]

Exciting match coming up

 

[Abdullah719]

Karachi Blues beat Karachi Whites by 9 runs.

Lahore Whites won the toss and elected to field vs. Lahore Blues.

 

[Moiza]

Its only the 2nd match but I feel like tearing my ears off. Geo super used to do such a better job than this rubbish, pathetic commentary and even more pathetic camera work. The fake accents are extremely hard to bear along with improper words being used. I dont understand what is the problem to doing the commentary in urdu, sounds much better than this forced english.

 

[sarmadsl]

Nasir you beauty

 

[Moiza]

"Straight through the covers into the fielders hand". The fielder who caught it was standing half way to the 30 yard ring and the wicket.. I prefer commentary in urdu over this rubbish.

 

[Moiza]

No prize for guessing who the PPers will be wanting in the squad after this innings

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

woah nasir playing brilliantly

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Kamran ghulam seems a great bowler,

 

[Moiza]

Nasir looks much stronger than before. Hitting them comfortably

 

[Slog]

This Ahmed Shehzad and Nasir Jamshed pair looked so promising around 2010

The naive kid that I was I thought that in Nasir, Shehzad and Umar Akmal we can have the most destructive top 3 in our history

 

[sarmadsl]

Ad bowling

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Nasir is playing brilliantly though I guess no one is bowling bouncers )

You are not the only one

 

[sarmadsl]

Amad butt bowling with good pace good action and very tight line... Prospect to be watched out in thia tournament

 

[sarmadsl]

Good catch by umar akmal

 

[Slog]

You are not the only one

So sad

 

[Moiza]

Nothing warms my heart more than seeing butt playing in afghanistan and under kami's captaincy :')

 

[saeed5646]

So sad

Nauman anwar for number 6 in odis???

 

[Moiza]

"anything can possible". Why do we even bother with english commentary

 

[sarmadsl]

Whos this hussnain talat

 

[DRsohail]

just checked the cricinfo profile of hussain talat he is 19 year old and has got good record with the batting...how is his bowling?

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Nasir you beauty

did he score finally after 3 years?

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

This Husain talat guy looks realy promising. surely a better alrounder then anwar, bhatti

 

[shah_1]

Why is Imran Khan playing from Lahore?

 

[shah_1]

Hussain Talat is a talent to watch out for

 

[sarmadsl]

Hussain talat seems to be a very good bowler bowling at good pace especially was not afraid to bowl yorkers.. But lets see how does he bat

 

[shah_1]

He outbowl Amad Butt comfortably

 

[sarmadsl]

3 wiclets for ammad butt ... Guy bowled really well though some bad balls too

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Amad butt looking a lot quicker than I saw him last, must be bowling in late 130s to early 140s on avg

 

[shah_1]

LOL who is this?
