Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators | PSL 2 | Match 9 | Sharjah | Feb 17, 2017 | Match Thread

[Hamza_]

This is some shot from Tamim. Wow smash for six

 

[Sub-Zero]

required run rate of over 7 would be difficult for Quetta

 

[Sub-Zero]

Zulfi uncle yaar retire hojayen aap :

 

[Sub-Zero]

le duba Zulfi chacha Quetta ko

 

[MMHS]

Zulfi should retire from LO cricket & focus on Test for next 6/7 years ............

 

[Naim]

Pathatic ZAulfi chacha bowling full tosses

 

[Sub-Zero]

what the heck? strategic time out after so many breaks? what is this non sense :

 

[mhraja]

Will Tamim stay till Final (or play offs if not playing final) ?

 

[Executioner]

Tamim has very fine batting technique.

he is far ahead of most openers in 2 aspects:

1) Aesthetics

2) Ability to choke

 

[Sub-Zero]

Zulfi should retire from LO cricket & focus on Test for next 6/7 years ............

PSL was made for the likes of Zulfi chacha, they will milk it to the fullest

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Mashallah, want quetta to.win but wanted Anwar and Zulfiqar to get the phainty of their life.. Alhamdulilah getting that...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Could have made it a 17 overs match if wasnt for that silly stretegc timeout.

 

[saeed5646]

this session qalandars will replace quetta as a finalist .you don,t always win with the ttf and weak team

quetta deserves that

 

[tanveer din]

Afridi? He may not get to bat

thanks to rain

 

[Naim]

Kings are in the ground for lose another match

 

[MMHS]

After 30 minutes of rain break twice, now they need strategic time out fir one over, costing the time for at least 1 more over, if not 2.

 

[Executioner]

Will Tamim stay till Final (or play offs if not playing final) ?

Practice matches against SL XI on March 2nd, so he highly unlikely to play the final

 

[Sub-Zero]

marwadya yaar Zulfi chacha ne, run rate 7 se kam tha is k over se pehle aur ab 7.5 hogya

 

[Sub-Zero]

Perrera into the attack?! :

 

[MMHS]

PSL was made for the likes of Zulfi chacha, they will milk it to the fullest

Misbah will take him to WI, if he is not sacked - want to bet on that?

 

[Hamza_]

Sharjeel was very aesthetic, Warner on flow is also good as well as QDK.

Ability to choke is more of mental.

Haha this is pcb

 

[Sub-Zero]

Ahmed and Sarfraz should open today, Shafiq marwa dega

 

[nighthawk23]

Strategic timeouts are a joke. T20 games already last close to 4 hours. They should try to speed up the game not further slow it down.

 

[Syed1]

I told you guys Tamim is dangerous. He was excellent in the last PSL as well.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Misbah will take him to WI, if he is not sacked - want to bet on that?

hahaha nice jk, Asghar already replaced him in the test side

 

[Syed1]

It is for the sponsors to earn money through advertisements.

 

[Executioner]

What?

3.5 minute strategic time out for a single over in a rain infected match, and 1 more in the 2nd innings which means about 2 overs lost just there. Probably the most comical thing you will ever see

 

[MMHS]

Haha this is pcb

I think, it's more of media pressure. STO was introduced for a window for ad.

 

[tanveer din]

good

 

[itsme]

Perrera bowling at 100kph and getting homage speed ball lmao

 

[mz123]

It is for the sponsors to earn money through advertisements.

mubarak ho, maqsood played well mashallah

 

[itsme]

Pcb and their sponsors

 

[Sub-Zero]

good over from Perrera, target should not be hard for Quetta if Shafiq gets out early

 

[tanveer din]

good bowling

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Amazing last over by perrera MA...

 

[Executioner]

Sharjeel was very aesthetic, Warner on flow is also good as well as QDK.

Really? I think Sharjeel look more of a leg side hack but a rather effective one.

Oh btw, aesthetics also include looks. Tamim is dashing, in a parallel universe he probably has hair like Pakistani fans probably read that article i believe.

 

[tanveer din]

what?

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Sarfaraz should come as an opener with Shehzad..

 

[itsme]

Do you remember the first match and losing one hour for the dronés launch

 

[Sub-Zero]

mubarak ho, maqsood played well mashallah

he was okay, should have hit some more shots, his strike rate was 125, that's just mediocre, 30 from 24

 

[Sub-Zero]

Sarfaraz should come as an opener with Shehzad..

I want that to happen but it will not happen in real life, Shafiq will open

 

[tanveer din]

how much will be target?

 

[itsme]

what?

Homage speed ball is a sponsor moment like high flying catch,fruity moments ...
But normally you show it when someone bowl a quick or the quickest ball of the match but pcb randomly showing sponsors' ads everytime it's funny

 

[mz123]

he was okay, should have hit some more shots, his strike rate was 125, that's just mediocre, 30 from 24

I reckon he can be good for ODIs

Sharjeel's west indian pulls were pleasing on the eyes, See his last three innings against Aussies, Really Brilliant batting on both sides of the wicket.

They also showed one of the 'fielding moment things', dunno what it's called.... after a mis-field!!!

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

I want that to happen but it will not happen in real life, Shafiq will open

this friendship will.be costly

 

[Sub-Zero]

I reckon he can be good for ODIs

no he did not perfrom in the last 2 domestic one day cups

 

[Sub-Zero]

this friendship will.be costly

it's not just friendship, Moin khan and Viv would have said to play Shafiq, realistically he was never gonna be dropped after scoring runs no matter how slow he was

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Masha'Allah covers back on again...

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

it's not just friendship, Moin khan and Viv would have said to play Shafiq, realistically he was never gonna be dropped after scoring runs no matter how slow he was

The only plus is that he can play spin better... dont know about his st.rates with spinners either...

Painduuu songs are on....

Watched his batting, was looking ominous. Really giving Aus bowlers a run for their money, now he was giving bookies a run for their money

 

[Syed1]

Nah they were ok at best. We over-hyped him since the rest of the batting line-up comprised of Azhar, Shafiq, Malik and Hafeez.


Sharjeel still only averages 32 in ODIs albeit at an excellent SR of 114.


Sharjeel would be easy to replace if we get rid of those four.

Run is a strong word, considering his fitness he was giving them a brisk walk at best.

Please, since his comeback he averaged 45, and played well against the likes of starc, cummins and hazlewood. Dua mango ke us ne fixing nahi ki, we don't have any replacement for him !

He is a fixer. I don't pray for fixers.

 

[RehanG]

H

good over from Perrera, target should not be hard for Quetta if Shafiq gets out early

e will play At THE strike rate of 200....... 4 runs 2 balls out..

He made 150ks bowling look like joke. His replacements would literally go down into depression with the fear of facing Starc in limited overs.

 

[mz123]

Hasn't been proved yet, IA he will be cleared !

 

[Sub-Zero]

Why r they not starting? UaE rain is not heavy.

Sharjah is so iconic yaar!

 

[Sub-Zero]

covers coming off, Allah tera shukar, ab bs Shafiq ko jaldi out krwadain. Ameen.

79 required in 9 overs

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

What's up kia news hai.???

 

[Asif321]

79 of 9 overs . Kp and Shahzad should open followed by Rossuw Sarfraz thisara anwar
no place for shafiq today

 

[Pakpak]

Covers on again

 

[Asif321]

79 in 54 with 10 wickts . is easy

Who will you replace these four with?

Even in PSL they haven't selected young batsmen like Adil Amin and Saad Ali. Nor any of emerging under 19 batters

 

[Sub-Zero]

rain again?! : Rahat Ali ki bad-dua lagi hai

 

[super hitter]

forget this match, lets hope the next one isn't rained out.

Karachi is on a SUPER STREAK this time...

 

[super hitter]

So this game is a tie since the heavy covers cannot be removed in 10 minutes if the rain stops in the next minute,

meanwhile,

"is it bad enough to effect the second game too..??" That's a bit hard to say. The rain is not that heavy. Just on and off. Of course, it's been persistent for the last few minutes, but still fairly light, so it may be more hours of frustrating wait when the time comes for the second game, I'm afraid.
