[RidiculousMan]

This is the stadium Peshawar/KPK fans have been crying about to hold PSL matches?

Doesn’t look fit enough for club standards let alone professional/fc standards!

Looks like the designer was a wedding hall designer

Imagine a retired player from 2007 batting better then the so called Bradman of cricket.

This was a fun match. Hopefully it put smiles on the faces of the people of Peshawar and raised money for an important cause.

It was nice to see some old faces.

Facts! Same individual getting touch about again it seems?

 

[topspin]

You can say whatever you want but scenes are telling what is the reality...LOL

Even if this is true, this perfectly epitomises the lack of intelligence of Pakistan cricket as a whole.

I kindly request for you to let this unhealthy obsession with Babar go. He's by far the most overrated cricketer of all time.

 

[topspin]

Some embarrassing chest thumping from Babar fans during a charity game. It's as if Babar's runs and wickets were more important to the cause. But I knew this was going to happen. A couple of members of the Babar cult were throwing hissy fits about me bringing his playing style in the preview thread. They've now been left with egg on their faces.

If the stadium easily and successfully hosted a full stadium crowd, why can't the PCB host a few psl games in this stadium then?
