Pakistan players' performance watch in NatWest T20 Blast 2017

Yeah I hope they recall him. I think dropping him may have been a wake up call for him to tell him that just because he is an overseas player he isn't guaranteed a place in the 11. We've seen in the past for Pakistan that when he comes back after being dropped he has performed well; hopefully if he is recalled today he plays well

Spot on! 4 wickets for Afridi today for just 26 runs.
 
Afridi finishes his spell with figures of 4-0-26-4. Great day for him.
 
3 Pakistanis in action today!

Sarfraz Ahmed for Yorkshire against Derbyshire
Junaid Khan for Lancashire against Northamptonshire
Shahid Afridi for Hampshire against Middlesex - who have Morgan etc @ Lords. Would have McCullum too but he's gone to the CPL

Shahid Afridi's game will be televised tonight on Sky Sports.
 
Sarfaraz is a sure starter.. will be in the playing eleven... Would be interesting to see where he bats.
 
Will be good to watch Afridi represent that small/poor struggling club Hampshire who begged him to sign a contract in order to boost their cricket and make a quick buck as well. Other then that will be interesting to see how Sarfraz performs

Alright I'm bored of this now, we've both posted enough deliberately antagonistic comments towards each other :D.

No Mercy. We shall end our feud when The Bears send your teeny weeny club packing in the blast, crane will be lucky to get a sundays league contract and your beloved boom boom will never play another cricket game again after we are done giving you a spanking :afridi
 
Can't see either of Dawson or Afridi in the team huddle here. Dawsons presumably with England but not sure about Afridi? He's not down on the scorecard either (although they're wrong most of the time).

He's injured😩
 
Pitch at Headingley apparently not easy to score quickly on.
 
Another six over extra cover from Sarfraz. Commentators purring in appreciation.
 
And a third one :))

Doesn't time it perfectly but benefits from the Leeds wind carrying the ball over the fence.
 
Trying too many dabs down to third man.

Bowled by Viljoen for 42 off 31. Two fours and three sixes He's the top scorer for Yorkshire tonight.
 
Decent performances by Sarfaraz and Junaid but losses for both Yorkshire and Lancashire today.
 
Keep at it Sarfaraz bhai- we are right behind you. A good stint here will ensure he gets even more offers in the future.
 
Few Pakistanis in action today:

Sarfraz Ahmed in action for Yorkshire against Durham
Junaid Khan in action for Lancashire against Leicestershire
Mohammad Amir in action for Essex against Shahid Afridi's Hampshire

None of these matches televised tonight unfortunately.
 
Reports are that Rumman Raees has been approached by Durham for next year.

Pathetic from the ECB, would have been nice televising some of these games on FTA. Am not a huge fan of the new deal either, they're just throwing some crumbs on the floor for the BBC to pick up although it's better then nothing I suppose.

Yes, they should be showing one of these games rather than a game involving some place called Birmingham that no one wants to watch :harby.

No issue with showing Birmingham Bears matches, just need to make sure they're after the 9pm watershed so we don't terrify the kids.
 
Amir takes two wickets but also has two catches dropped off of successive deliveries towards the end of his spell.
 
Sarfraz shouldn't bat below 4 in t20s.
He is a limited hitter. Maximum utilization should be between 6-14 overs.
 
Durham beat Yorkshire by one run! Usman Arshad with an economical spell... Pakistani players delivering. :rp
 
Amir gets Vince first ball. :amir2

Good debut. Hopefully this county stint makes him a better player.

Hampshire vs Glamorgan tonight at 1730 GMT so Shahid Afridi will be in action. This match is televised tonight
 
4 out of 5 Pakistanis in action tonight. The one player not is Fakhar Zaman because Somerset are not playing tonight.


Shahid Afridi in action for Hampshire away at Kent at 1800GMT which is not televised
Mohammad Amir in action for Essex at home to Middlesex also at 1800GMT which is also not televised
and also the big one:

The Roses derby between Sarfraz Ahmed's Yorkshire and Junaid Khan's Lancashire at 1730 GMT and this game WILL be televised tonight. Can't wait for this game, likely that Junaid Khan will bowl to Sarfraz at some point

Somerset have 3 group games left - tomorrow against Kent, on Sunday against Glamorgan and on Friday against Hampshire

Placed at 3rd in their group right now Somerset will be hoping to get through to the QF's and possibly even final day.....

....however PCB are planning to call players back for their national T20 league so the likes of Fakhar, Amir, Sarfraz and Junaid may not even be available for the QF, SF and Final.
 
Thanks for this.

Don't think so. Somerset's next match is tomorrow and is actually televised so I would love him to be playing but last I heard he still hadn't received a visa, and now with this National T20 cup scheduled to begin from late August and rumours that he may have to play in that I wonder if he will play for Somerset at all.

Apparently the players playing county will return for the fitness test and then go back to county cricket.

Looking forward to this. After Amir handed us our behinds the other day in the FC match, and the defeat to Derbyshire in the previous T20 match - there's no better match to stop the rot for Yorkshire.

Excited to see Sarfraz again, he looked good last time out.
