[Sarfarazian92]

Peshawar somehow manages to win all these domestic tournaments despite having no big names in their side.

 

[Abdullah719]

Karachi Whites have won the toss and are fielding first.

Ahsan Ali gets a game!

 

[Ellipsism]

Lol, Anwar Ali opening the bowling.

 

[Ellipsism]

Mudassar is getting some good carry on a flat pitch.

 

[Nasty Naz]

How do these domestic matches not even have a radar gun? It's 2017.

 

[Abdullah719]

My God, the fielding.

 

[Ellipsism]

The fielding is school level.

Don't know whom was saying Mudassar was trundling, but I advise them to turn on the telly now.

This is some serious pace.

 

[Ellipsism]

The fielding is pathetic.

 

[Ellipsism]

You know things are bad when Anwar has figures of 1/3 after 3.3 overs

 

[moosar567]

21-1 in 7 Ahzar ali seems dynamic compared to these guys

 

[Nasty Naz]

The fielding is school level.

Don't know whom was saying Mudassar was trundling, but I advise them to turn on the telly now.

This is some serious pace.

Yeah you can clearly see the difference in pace between Anwar Ali and Mudassar. Gotta think he is bowling around 140 kph.

Needs to work on his control, though.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Needs to work on his control, though.

Yep, but I'd assume every 17 year old bowler needs to work on his control.

It'll be interesting to see if he can stay healthy long-term as his bowling action looks pretty violent to me.

Moin Khan has always addressed Mudassar as a 20 year old, I highly doubt he's genuinely 17.

 

[Ellipsism]

Mudassar looking quicker in his second spell

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Gauhar looks a good batsman.

 

[Ellipsism]

Gauhar looks a good batsman.

Looks clueless against Mudassar.

Looks clueless against Mudassar.

Played some nice shots off him in the first spell. Very well balanced.

 

[Ellipsism]

Played some nice shots off him in the first spell. Very well balanced.

Doesn't look comfortable against Mudassar's effort deliveries.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Chishty boy 50 not out.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

The PTV production team literally has 70 year old chachas. No wonder they are unable to use new and better cameras.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Doesn't look comfortable against Mudassar's effort deliveries.

Just first impression. He's unlike other batsmen I've seen from Peshawar. Looks well coached.

 

[Big Mac]

Watching some of the fielding on display I have nothing but sympathy for Steve Rixon.

 

[Ahson8]

What to say when hacks like Iftikhar pile up the runs at domestic level...

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

How is this keeper even playing for the Karachi Region is beyond me

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Khuda Ka Wasta hay yar

We can't field to save our lives

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Gohar Ali looks impressive, can get a look in as a back up WK

 

[ask_analyse_act]

How is this keeper even playing for the Karachi Region is beyond me

he played for PAK-A too. He went to England and also UAE on pak-a tours..

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Gohar Ali looks impressive, can get a look in as a back up WK

depends on how good he keeps wicket..

 

[ask_analyse_act]

looking fwd to see Taj wali, Shahzaib and Saad ali..

 

[Brilliance]

Told you guys Shahzaib is a nothing player.

 

[Brilliance]

I enjoy Taj Wali's bowling. His actions is a bit similar to Starc.

 

[Brilliance]

Big test for Saad Ali. KW in trouble now . 2 wickets down within 5 overs.

 

[Ellipsism]

Taj has lost a lot of pace.

Was reaching much faster speeds the last time I watched him live.

 

[Ellipsism]

Saad Ali looks a quality player.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Time for Saad Ali to prove his worth.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I enjoy Taj Wali's bowling. His actions is a bit similar to Starc.

Taj Wali was a nothing bowler, was hyped before. I thought he was very good but just now saw how he was.. Looks completely out of shape for a cricketer and with zero pace, not sure why ppl hyped this guy

 

[todfod 11]

was looking forward to see taj wali.. had an image of tall slim guy with gud action. but turns out to be over weight guy.. no pace no line i dnt knw why he was so much hyped..

 

[Ellipsism]

I can bowl faster than this Faisal guy, disgraceful.

 

[m.shah]

Time for Saad Ali to prove his worth.

So far he has scored just 10 from 25 balls in a chase of 321.If he is the best batting talent for pak thn God bless pak cricket.

 

[todfod 11]

with this fielding saad alo shud score a hundred.. no wonder iftikhar got a hundred.. how many catches got dropped?? 10 -20

 

[Sarfarazian92]

So far he has scored just 10 from 25 balls in a chase of 321.If he is the best batting talent for pak thn God bless pak cricket.

True. he's been sedate thus far

 

[Big Mac]

At least you've learned a valuable lesson. You shouldn't take any notice of PPers crying about TTF's or demanding the selection of allegedly talented youngsters from domestic cricket based on nothing more than looking at the table of averages.

 

[Hawkeye]

Gauhar looks a good batsman.

Looks clueless against Mudassar.

How did he bat? Looking at score card he made a ton at good SR.

 

[Ellipsism]

Anwar Ali has a List-A batting average of 30.

Can the standard of cricket get any more mediocre.

 

[Hawkeye]

was looking forward to see taj wali.. had an image of tall slim guy with gud action. but turns out to be over weight guy.. no pace no line i dnt knw why he was so much hyped..

Taj was a more than decent bowler. 5x better than the no skill trundler Junaid Khan.

I don't know how he was today, but I'm guessing lost his fitness thanks to rotting in domestics for so long and not getting picked at peak.

Albiet, I did only watch 25% of his innings.

25 years old and he's peaked already, whatta talent.

 

[Ellipsism]

He's 25?

Looks at least 30.

Obviously some of the experts here watching him today haven't seen him earlier. He used to be brisky with good shape into right handers.

 

[IAJ]

25 years old and he's peaked already, whatta talent.

Everything is possible in Pakistan.

 

[Pete Rose]

I think iftikhar gets too much hate here. I feel he has a shot at a place in the middle order

That hack won't even get a place in a Sydney Club Side.

 

[Hawkeye]

Probably not 25, and domestic can demotivate you, when you're not getting picked despite doing your best.

Obviously some of the experts here watching him today haven't seen him earlier. He used to be brisky with good shape into right handers.

Correct. Had a natural inswinger and could move the ball away too. BOTH ways movement.

 

[Hawkeye]

Anwar Ali scoring leg side hoicks against trundlers.

Inzi is going to select him soon. ) )

 

[Stallion__]

How can you drop a dolly like that

 

[zacattakk]

An example of the quality of our domestic cricket - in the tournament final, Iftikhar chacha, the innocuous offspinner, is on a hattrick

 

[Abdullah719]

Peshawar are the champions! Win by 124 runs

 

[MRSN]

as I said this system is a joke. Kamran Akmal would score 100s in his sleep in these tournaments. PCB only have these tournaments for formality nothing else.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Told you guys Shahzaib is a nothing player.

Did you tell [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]?

 

[todfod 11]

25 years old and he's peaked already, whatta talent.

he looks 30 plus.

 

[Syed1]

Express pacer Ghulam Mudassir smashed to all parts and picks up zero wickets.

The PP hype machine is well and truly behind this lad

 

[Hawkeye]

Did you tell [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]?

I'm pretty sure you would've called players like Sharjeel a hack.

Anyways, Shahzaib isn't Sharjeel quality, but is still the 2nd best hitter from the available domestic opener options.

 

[waleed88]

as I said this system is a joke. Kamran Akmal would score 100s in his sleep in these tournaments. PCB only have these tournaments for formality nothing else.

He does score 100s like a pro in these tournaments... same with Shehzad and Salman Butt

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I'm pretty sure you would've called players like Sharjeel a hack.

Are you sure about this? Have you followed my opinion on Sharjeel since reintroduction? Do you want me to make you look stupid again?

Hopefully you're not serious.

 

[Syed1]

I'm dead serious. What good is that "aggression" and "pace" if you have figures that Wahab Riaz would be proud off.

No, I just don't go gaga over some unknown name because they looked good in a Youtube video. No shortcuts to hard work. If he picks up bucket loads of wickets in domestics then I will be the first one to call for his inclusion in the side. Till then he can continue showing "aggression" to batsmen and then proceed to get smashed to all parts.

Sohail Tanvir and Anwar Ali are the top wicket-takers.

This is the problem with a flawed domestic system.

I watched the first 10 overs or so, and in that period, Ghulam was troubling the batsmen. Yes, he needs to work on his control. But he was going for runs because the fielding was absolute trash. From the opposite end, Anwar was bowling maidens with his 120kph gun-barrel straight bowling.

One of the two has the potential to be an international quality bowler. You tell me which one.

he is a leg side hack, and his bowling is of no use...

Peshawar is winning so many tournaments lately. I remember when they were blatant underdogs. Good on them.

 

[Hawkeye]

Are you sure about this? Have you followed my opinion on Sharjeel since reintroduction? Do you want me to make you look stupid again?

Looks like it hurt. Reality does, at times.

 

[Hawkeye]

It's a cause of concern when there are no intl quality players in a side, yet it manages to win a domestic tournament.

Apart from maybe Taj Wali, who is 2x better than Junaid. Has a natural inswinger, bowled Shahzaib with that.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Looks like it hurt. Reality does, at times.

Not sure I follow. What hurt exactly and what reality?

 

[Pete Rose]

he is a leg side hack, and his bowling is of no use...

So was sharjeel apparently not too long ago.

I don't buy this "flawed" domestic system logic at every point. Yes we know the domestic cricket is bad, in the words of a poster here "it is worse than gully cricket in India", but in this particular match Ghulam and Anwar were given the same conditions the same opportunity to succeed, and one did and the other failed like no tomorrow.

My point is Ghulam may turn out to be a good bowler in the future, but some PP'ers make him to be the best thing since sliced bread, while at present he is being out-bowled by even Anwar Ali.
