Congrats [MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION] for the win, courtesy Tuk Tuk from your batsmen.

When you come to play us at our home, we will prepare pitches to our strength and will take revenge.

They can win the trial games, we'll win the actual matches

Yeah.. after all even Faheem Ashraf plays good in trial matches. One trial match was how he managed to stay in the team for 3 years. Hopefully IU ain't gonna go off these trials as well xD

Great trial match!

Looking good.

Well done [MENTION=134927]hafizexpress[/MENTION].

#MisbahUnited even struggling in a trial match

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Pathetic batting from both teams. Come play with Karachi and Babar Azam will show you how to bat

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Typical TTFs and senior players clogging up both teams. This is the problem with Pakistan cricket. PCB should ban teams who do not field more than 3 emerging players and remove this conflict-of-interest selector Misbah

These uncles couldn't even bat on Lahore's flat pitch. We may have to bench [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] and make [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION] bowl when we play these uncles. Otherwise, we may not even have to bat.

VENUE: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

PITCH: DEVILISH

I guess you didn't know about the pitch type but that's understood, inexperienced kids are bound to make such mistakes. Not everyone has loads of experience like Sir Misbah

Unfortunate that some players blame the pitch rather than look inwards. A world class batsman can bat on any pitch

Will make sure that they reach a decent total so that I can score a century later

No surprises to see Karachi deliberately planning to under-perform. No integrity unlike ISLU

We play hard to win who cares about integrity?

Look at the characteristics of Gaddafi Stadium, Sir Misbah-ul-haq. With low seam, medium swing, and good pounch, a team should pounce on the deck.

We don't care about anything else apart of winning, it seems some just care about whining
