Hopefully Riazullah will get a chance today after Sarfraz hyping him around and honestly he’s got the highest potential of all the U19 batters , guy is very much a modern batter alongside Shamyl instead of other tuk tuk players we had in U19.

Sarfaraz is gonna play this game himself or will he let Akhlaq play and keep?

 

[pak.cricket]

Can someone tell me whether abid ali is playing in any team?

Nope he is not playing.

Dolphins shouldn’t mess this up

 

[Rana]

Who’s here to see Saud Class?

I am!

you waiting for Sarfaraz and Shadab's masterclass as well???

 

[Rana]

No

I’m looking forward to Saim bat. Maybe Mehran Mumtaz if he gets a go

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

I am on the cup bandwagon today. Want to see saim bat long and looking for some exciting spinner.. is there any?

@Rana @BouncerGuy any exciting young spinner to watch out for?

Sufyan Moqim in Dolphins (if they play him)

Was actually very impressed with Faisal Akram yesterday

I think he bowled ok given the track and boundary sizes don’t really encourage spin bowling much

 

[Rana]

No

I’m looking forward to Saim bat. Maybe Mehran Mumtaz if he gets a go

Sorry not Mehran, I meant Arafat Minhas

These fancy posh Urdu names get me confused

 

[ads101]

Wonder who picks the team the mentor or the captain? Like who has the final say? What about if theoretically said didn’t want to pick Sarfraz in the team? (Though don’t see how he wouldn’t).

It’s a Karachi thing

Sarfaraz and Saud arguing but out of love

That’s how the real Gs communicate

 

[Barragan]

I really hope Akhlaq gets a chance to play and at the top.

Guy has potential and can hammer it as well.

Big Dawg hitter

Yeah, proper hitter

 

[BouncerGuy]

@Rana @BouncerGuy any exciting young spinner to watch out for?

Would like to see arafat minhas and Sufiyan. Arafat can also bat and Sufiyan is a left-arm china man, both are really exciting and probably the future of spin attack of Pakistan.

 

[adi_62941]

This saud guy has so much potential but dont know why he is on same path of fawad alam, mohammad sami etc.

Lol dolphins is pretty abysmal. Saud the hack is captain sarfraz the dump is mentor LOL.

Mir hamza the 120ks thunderbolts is in the team along with trundlers like Abbas afridi and faheem Ashraf and Usman qadir and Asif Ali as well.
Hahahh what a team. Looks like they put all garbage in one team.

Lol no he doesn't have any potential. He is a proven failure. He can't play pace bowling at all.
He was a failure in world cup 2023 and on australia tour as well.

He failed badly against Bangladesh as well apart from one innings

 

[followed]

I don't understand why this saud guy is so hyped. He is a nothing player without any talent.

Champions Cup
Match 3: Dolphins vs Panthers
Toss: won by Panthers and elected to bat

 

[Rana]

Dolphins solid side

Six hitters all the way besides Chavo Guerrero

Hurraira?

 

[pak.cricket]

Nope he is not playing.

Is he injured? He was a pretty fine player before having cancer.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Nope. It was not cancer. He had a heart condition. Maybe due to age, he is not playing. Not sure about the exact reason.

 

[shah_1]

so many parchis

suyfan muqeem not selected but you see 50 year old Noman Ali and club level leg spinner Usman Qadir in the playing 11.

 

[Rana]

Hurraira?

Lol yes

 

[shah_1]

So much noise about creating back ups yet we see this. Shadab will be our main spinner and we will continue to get smashed

no interest at all

 

[BouncerGuy]

Beyond understanding that Noman is playing and Sufyan is not...LOL

 

[Ali Active]

just tuned in to see vitality blast just see the diffrence between brodcasting and coverage

 

[Asif321]

Good to see Sarfraz not showing his authority to get into XI . Rather giving chance to others .

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Saim has been big disappointment so far

 

[mominsaigol]

Saim is a waste, this should be the end for him

 

[shah_1]

Beyond understanding that Noman is playing and Sufyan is not...LOL

India emerging 2023 team had decent level batting talent. Sufyan was by far our best bowler in that match yet he isn't better than these two jokers in this team. No wonder PCT is dead.

 

[Ahmed216]

Beyond understanding that Noman is playing and Sufyan is not...LOL

And why has azan been dropped after the run-out last game

 

[BouncerGuy]

And why has azan been dropped after the run-out last game

Yeah, that decision is also a bad one. Will kill the confidence of Azan.

 

[Ahmed216]

Saim is a waste, this should be the end for him

6 months back he was supposed to be the savior who would revolutionise Pak batting and help throw Rizbab out of the side

 

[adi_62941]

Saim is a waste, this should be the end for him

The last great local cricketer from Karachi was Saeed Anwar, who performed exceptionally well in international cricket. Since then, many cricketers have come and gone without gaining much visibility as players

 

[BouncerGuy]

Brilliant from Hamza.

 

[Rana]

Man where are they finding these boring players from???

Umar Siddiq
Bangalzai

What is this nonsense?!?!? Just looking to defend every ball and letting bowlers settle in!

 

[Ahmed216]

Buttlerzai got squared up by a straight delivery. Feet going nowhere just following the ball with his hands. Some talent

 

[Rana]

And why has azan been dropped after the run-out last game

I don’t know, maybe because his eventual 50 off 80 balls wouldn’t really make much of a difference

Timid players no matter how old or young need to be sent home!

 

[mominsaigol]

6 months back he was supposed to be the savior who would revolutionise Pak batting and help throw Rizbab out of the side

Fans want Babar and rizwan gone from t20 opening and from odi as well now and understandably so, You cant blame them for latching on to others

 

[Rana]

These guys won’t learn until the lose to PnG, Uganda and Nepal too…


Actually they still won’t learn. There is no cure to their ignorance. They want to go down with this mindset

 

[BouncerGuy]

Talk about this game only

 

[BouncerGuy]

Such a negative this is. Not takin the attacking route on these bowlers.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Lol yes

Why Chavo?

 

[Rana]

Such a negative this is. Not takin the attacking route on these bowlers.

Misbah and Waqar picked these players

 

[BouncerGuy]

Misbah and Waqar picked these players

Understandable....

 

[mominsaigol]

Misbah and Waqar picked these players

Oh yeah I remember Misbah hyping up Umar Siddiq on that podcast show.

This is my first time seeing Umar bat

 

[Rana]

The majority of them can’t do anything if you bowl outside 5th stump

The only runs scoring shot they have is on their pads where they are forced to connect or go back to the dug out

Isn't that the entire pakistani dug out except for left handers? All our right handers are clueless on that line.

Rizwan and babar = Pandya and Bumrah got their no

Then you also have Chacha and Many more who can't play said line

 

[Omer2002]

Awful pcb dont have a brain at all.Muqeem has to play what is Nauman Ali going to achieve

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan I'd the only team that can turn a road pitch into a boring test match

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mir Hamza is showing aggression, as if he is steaming in at 150 kph

 

[followed]

Lol mir the trundler hamza making these guys scared with his 120ks thunderbolts.

It shows the level of talent these Pakistani batsmen have.

 

[followed]

What a bunch of losers these batsmen are

 

[followed]

This Usman is such a hack and he is so limited. It's beyond me how did he get selected and played so many matches for Pakistan.

 

[followed]

Abbas the trundler afridi another one who should never play for Pakistan.

 

[followed]

Lop Abbas trundler getting phainty from Usman the hack.

 

[mominsaigol]

Shadab's team is easily the worst team lol

 

[BouncerGuy]

Another leggie bowling full tosses or short balls...LOL

 

[mominsaigol]

It's usman Qadir bro, he's the founder of this tradition

 

[Ahmed216]

Usman does go after the bowlers. He's got that badmashi

 

[Rana]

UK cheetah

 

[Ahmed216]

Excellent pitch once again. Not sure if it's a 450 surface like previous two games

 

[Rana]

Usman Khan is one of the best batters of spin in Pakistan

Jungli player who has a decent technique against spin

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Usman has some limitations but At least he isn't timid like most of the pakistanies

 

[Rana]

Traditional Umar Siddiq up your run rate opportunity

4 over throws when it should have been a dot

 

[mominsaigol]

Usman Khan is one of the best batters of spin in Pakistan

Jungli player who has a decent technique against spin

Misbah is mad at you bro, You're not appreciating the gritty innings Umar is playing

 

[Rana]

Guy has a flat bat technique to bend down and bludgeon sweep flat trajectory spin

Strong weapon

 

[Rana]

Misbah is mad at you bro, You're not appreciating the gritty innings Umar is playing

I so dream of meeting Misbah one day

 

[Rana]

Abbas legend

Standard 10 runs per over economy

 

[Rana]

@Ahmed216 @gazza619 are you loving this batting by Umar Siddiq?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Whenever someone starts performing, you change your stance for them

 

[Rana]

What?

I said in last game Usman Khan can prove he is the best batsman playing the match

He’s better than most Pakistani batsmen in general
