Poor Misbah can't catch a break with these untalented hacks. Is reduced to being a goat instead of a GOAT.
 
I'm actually pretty surprised because I thought Islamabad had one of the better teams.

But their failure is having so many Pakistani batsmen.
 
rofl yeah commentators just spoke about him "Kent" county

He is probably our 120th export to county cricket as an allrounder after Arafat, Mehmood etc and 220th export as spinner and 320th as bowler :yk

btw the guy was amazing in BPL both with bat and ball saved his team many times IIRC he was leading wicket taker and in top 4 leading run scorer.
 
Looks like watson got a severe mental blockade , fear and psychological pressure infront of wahab and he still didn't forget wahab riaz worldcup spell. Today he was clearly looking uncomfortable against wahab pace and finally he lose his wicket out of pressure

K. Akmal - the worst keeper on display so far. Man, he used to be a beast keeper. Seriously what happened to him?

Also there is very little to differentiate between the 3

Asghar
Zafar &
Nawaz

But all of them will be taken apart on pitches that offer less turn.
 
Kamran is trying to make up for his sub-standard display so far by yelling himself hoarse.

The only thing I've missed of Kami keeping is his calls behind the stumps. Has he busted out "ghoomay gi" yet ?

Yeah, I still can't tell if any of them have what it takes to bowl NOT in Dubai. I'm not optimistic
 
Your whining about Misbah is getting boring too.

He totally deserves it for his OTT cautious defensive and selfish approach whenever he comes on to the crease, its pretty evident he plays for his stats than to help his team, as previously pointed out he can bat at 3-4 to anchor the innings but that would truly expose him as a batsman against pace, hence hiding behind youngsters masquerade his incompetency.

Dunno, he keeps yelling Shabash Lala a lot. Probably trying to get into his good books because he knows the best way to selection. :shehzad

In current English mode, I'm expecting a "It will spin like a top, old boy"
 
Strategic time out so we can all reflect how crap our players are.
 
One thing that sucks about PSL, it looks like we are going the route of BD, slow and low wickets, million of left arm spinners, trundler seamers(ball is griping so they get some purchase, most of them looks like left arm fast spinner rather than seamer) and batsmen cannot play pace at all... That was how BD was looking back in early 2000s, now Pakistan is emulating them once we move to desert? :facepalm:

Where the Hell is Pakistani cricket going? :po:

I won't doubt his intentions but yes his approach is outdated, overcautious and defensive.
 
Tamim with a horrible 51(51) the highest scorer of the match, the next highest was 28(30) from watto :misbah Spending time around Misbah does this to aggressive batsman
 
Hopefully Ghulam will get in ahead of Zaidi or Khalid next game. Need to give him a chance.

TBH left arm spinners are the most ineffective of the spinners because they don't have the delivery that turns in the other direction and their deliveries spin way less.

There is only one world class SLA right now for tests and that is Herath. Shakib too is excellent in LOIs but in tests not as effective.

Leg spin is very important which is why Pakistan can't afford to lose Yasir Shah
 
Tait is very impressive why Auses are not playing him in T20??
 
Pathetic to see mediocre foreign batsmen outscoring Pakistani hacks in UAE, haven't scored a fifty so far, on the other hand in IPL..

First Pakistan invested in chucker bowlers and now too many left arm spinners, looks like nobody wants to do the hard work... Its hard to be good left arm spinners, non of them are, just time pass for local T20s...

Its like thinking junk food is real food, this is terrible strategy to say the least...

When these guys faced Tait, its like as an Alien has visited them :(

I'd still go for Nawaz. Offers a bit with the bat. Nawaz and Imad + Afridi can give us potentially 10 overs. Add Wahab and Amir and I guess we will have an attack

Nawaz and Imad cant be in same XI. It will weaken our bowling quite a bit
