I'll try to update scores as often as I can ;-)
 
Can anyone please update the times for these matches, cuz here on TenSports they aren't showing the timings for the matches, and I'm just sitting here waiting for a match to start!
 
17:00 - 20:00 ABN AMRO 20-20:Multan Tigers v Rawalpindi Rams

20:30 - 23:30 ABN AMRO20-20:Hyderabad Hawks-Islamabad Leopards

This is Pakistan Standard Time, you might want to apply time zones to it.
 
Abdul, the Multan Tigers match starts at 3:00 KST.

Hyderabad Hawks starts at 6:30 KST.
 
If anybody wants, I can post scores, once every two overs or so.
 
Multan's match at NSK starts at 5pm Karachi time, not 3pm. There is just over a couple of hours remaining.

I've just had a word with Irshad about his bowling in the match V Faisalabad yesterday - where he had figures of 0/39 in 1.3 overs....

Well, he told me he had both Hafeez and the other opener out on the very first deliveries he bowled to them, but unfortunately he had over-stepped. A no-ball also gives the opposition a "free-hit" the next delivery which they utilised to maximum effect. He over-stepped again during that short spell. Nevertheless, Hafeez batted beautifully. Also the target was small and there was hardly any pressure on the oposition when they came out to bat.

Now that's what he has said to me in private conversation - please do not construe it as an "excuse" which he wants to give to his fans for his terrible bowling returns of yesterday - but he is disappointed, yes.
 
Faisalabad wolves back on track after 1st game defeat.

They must beat sailkot when they play them.

Asif hussain and hafeez doing the buisness at top of the order!
 
Faisalbad Wolves looking very professional here.

Thanks for the updates, AJ.

Next match 3:00 KST, will cover it, inshallah.

shouldve been given out at 13.0 overs!

big deflection and the appeal for caught behind was put down
 
Majid Majeed is such a chuker!


I don't think I could chuck that much even if I tried my hardest:D
 
Majid Majeed, another one with a very suspect action.

PCB, has to correct this.

He chucks more than Harbhajan!
 
Wide, and stumped by Adnan Akmal.

Arafat goes for three.
 
Sohail Tanvnir is the new man in, of the mark straight away.

Easatheman yaar how fast was Irshad bowling? How's his action and line?
Click to expand...

There was no speed gun, but it looked like he was bowling in the high 80's atleast. He has a very smooth and fluent runup/action but his length was a bit up and down.

Looks a good prospect, though.
 
Multan Tigers just lost the match to the Rawalpindi Rams.

Because of a power failure, at NSK, the revised target was 100 from 10 overs.

Multan could only get to 75/5 from their ten therefore lost from thr D/l method.
 
Really feel sorry for Multan, wasn't their problem.

Thanx for the update. Off for asar now
 
Yah, indeed Irshad bowled a bit on the short side, but that is because the NSK pitch is like a cement strip, and in such a slam-bang 20-over encounter, bowling full is going to yield invariably to runs. However, the run-up is quite fluid and beautiful and it seemed he was bowling around the 140 kph mark at least.

1/21 off 4 overs is excellent. Add to that there was a catch of Qureshi at the wicket turned down in the thrid over, and the dropped catch in the last over. Pretty decent performance today.

He's staying back in Karachi after the end of this tournament, for the next ABN one-day series played by the teams.

Cool Farhad. Is he expected to be a long term replacement for Shoaib? U cant judge some1 on 20 20 matches.
 
Anyone got the highlights for the Multan game.

Wanna see Irshad in action.
 
Ata-ullah

Irshad's run-up and action are very well-balanced and I don't see him having many injury worries. Time will tell how he progresses and if he does make a mark on the international scene. But I liked what I saw today.

He is not ultra-fast at the moment, but is definitely quite fast. The few deliveries he pitched up were quite well-directed and allied with swing.

He's already missing Lahore, as is pretty much confined to the hotel when not playing cricket.
 
Yeah I liked his action, usually bowlers better then what you see of them in twenty20 competition because of the nature of the game, bowlers are always on the defensive. Though congratulations to Isloo Leapords for securing their first win, that innings by Bazid was a delight though Hawk's fielding was nothing short of pathetic.
 
Am sure irshad will be fine in rest of this tourney unless he comes up against asif hussain and muhammed hafeez again. Otherwise more phainti!

It was absolutely diabolical. The commentators said it might have been the orange ball but a team cant drop so many catches unless they are downright pathetic fielders
 
The fielding yesterday was as bad as I've seen, ever.

It's a matter of luck too. In the match that you refer to, actually Irshad had BOTH of the openers on first-ballers but he had over-stepped. So the story may have been quite the opposite.
 
Irshaad plays for the Rawalpindi Rams.
