[Mobashir]

Is there a website where we can see live scorecards pls?

 

[sunnykhan]

There isn't. No one covers domestic matches live

 

[qurram4u]

Is mohammed Rizwan palying in any of the matches???
i am sure he is on the selectors Radar for the champions league.

 

[Mobashir]

There isn't. No one covers domestic matches live

That's pretty sad... PCB should do something about it.

 

[sunnykhan]

Absolutely! Atleast they should do ball by ball commentary like cricinfo does for international matches if they can't televise the domestic matches.

 

[MenInG]

Not to worry!

PakPassion.net will not disappoint you guys.

Farid, our rep, is now at the ground and will report live scores when he can

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

[BeingFaridKhan]

No crowd here at all as there is no entry for the public.

 

[HASHAM2]

Highest Wicket taker from Port Qasim
and Highest scorer from SNGPL

 

[Madplayer]

^but why no entry??

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Basit Ali, Rashid Latif and Mohammad Ilyas are watching the match very closely.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

^but why no entry??

Due to security concerns.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Port Qasim are 54/2 after 15 overs.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Drinks are being taken here.

 

[shah_1]

Did U.Akmal scored for SNGPL

 

[Saeth]

Who has scored runs for sngpl and who has taken wickets for port qasim

 

[MenInG]

Drinks are being taken here.

Anything that has impressed you so far?

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Port Qasim are 60/2 after 18 overs.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Anything that has impressed you so far?

The weather is very pleasant here. Nothing else has caught the eye yet.

 

[waqar goraya]

No crowd here at all as there is no entry for the public.

Thats funny and then they say no foreign team is ready to tour Pakistan....

 

[saiyan0312]

What are the highest scores for SNGPL. Best bowling figures.

 

[waqar goraya]

Basit Ali, Rashid Latif and Mohammad Ilyas are watching the match very closely.

Basit and Rashid are coaches of respective sides...

 

[saiyan0312]

No crowd here at all as there is no entry for the public.

Soo much for pakistan is a safe place. If you cant show your domestic matches to public due top security reasonj then how can you stand and invite south africa. They not only should have been televised but tickets should have been given to see the teams play.

 

[waqar goraya]

The weather is very pleasant here. Nothing else has caught the eye yet.

I think he asked who are the good performers till now...

 

[IAJ]

I think he asked who are the good performers till now...

And maybe there weren't any good performers, hence he was more impressed by the weather

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

The scorers made a mistake and interchanged the batsman's score. The score now reads 133/2 after 23 overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Has Umar Akmal scored?

 

[MenInG]

It appears that apart from PakPassion, no other media org attending this game?

 

[saiyan0312]

The scorers made a mistake and interchanged the batsman's score. The score now reads 133/2 after 23 overs

Best domestic set up ever.

It appears that apart from PakPassion, no other media org attending this game?

Looks like it.

 

[waqar goraya]

The scorers made a mistake and interchanged the batsman's score. The score now reads 133/2 after 23 overs.

So,Misbah,Hafeez and co getting a beating from Port Qasim...

I suppose Umar Amin is still on the crease...SNGPL in needs of wickets desperately

 

[waqar goraya]

Lol..I guess batsmen and coaches need to have their own calculators active...Can not trust the scorers here..

 

[IAJ]

The scorers made a mistake and interchanged the batsman's score. The score now reads 133/2 after 23 overs.

That's an impressive run rate. Does Umar Amin play for Port Qasim?

 

[waqar goraya]

It appears that apart from PakPassion, no other media org attending this game?

I think the newspapers also quote the scores from websites or PCB media releases...



By the way that avatar is hillarious...

But i tell you this man looks more serious than your previous avatar man...

Why so serious MIG bhai..?

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Port Qasim 175/3 after 31 overs.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

First innings score: Hafeez 0(5), Taufeeq 11(18), Azhar Ali 95(136)*, Umar Akmal 18(37), Misbah 1(10), M. Rizwan 83(91). Abdur Rauf 1/17, Tanvir Ahmed 1/29, M. Talha 2/45, Umar Amin 2/37, Kamran Younus 1/60.

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan showing his quality


Umar Akmal is in horrible form


Umar Amin, showing he can become a batting AR for Pakistan

 

[Top Spinner]

Good to see the best keeper in the country doing well.

 

[shah_1]

Hey Farid Khan

What your views on Muhammad Rizwan, while watching him bat

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Khurram Manzoor departs for 115. Port Qasim 203/4 after 36 overs.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Hey Farid Khan

What your views on Muhammad Rizwan, while watching him bat

He played some delightful shots. Very easy on the eye.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Raza Ali has been hit on the finger and is receiving treatment.

 

[Top Spinner]

He played some delightful shots. Very easy on the eye.

good to see.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Some unconfirmed reports say that the semi-finals and the final have been shifted to Karachi, but Haji Bashir, head curator, denies it.

 

[shah_1]

Azhar Ali knock cost SNGPL the match

 

[waqar goraya]

Looking at the scores,I guess pitch was difficult to bat early on and eased as the day progressed..

Seems Azhar Ali has sealed his spot for Champions Trophy after batting well on a supporting wicket

 

[ahmed778]

How did Azhar play, did he do well against the spinners?

 

[Top Spinner]

Azhar Ali knock cost SNGPL the match

he has only 1 gear,

 

[BakuGM]

Is the game over?

 

[ahmed778]

I forgot to ask the main question,How was the pitch?

 

[BakuGM]

Looking at the scores,I guess pitch was difficult to bat early on and eased as the day progressed..

Seems Azhar Ali has sealed his spot for Champions Trophy after batting well on a supporting wicket

Are you trying to justify some failures or one failure from SNGPL top order?

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Port Qasim are 208/5 after 39 overs.

 

[Asif321]

rizwan scoring 81 at number 7 thats great ...... hafeez is useless with bat always

 

[waqar goraya]

Are you trying to justify some failures or one failure from SNGPL top order?

Just speculating about pitch,not defending or criticising anyone....

All of them Hafeez,Taufeeq,Umar and Misbah failed.....I do not expect all of them to fail on a batting track,,

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Port Qasim have won the match by 4 wickets.

 

[BakuGM]

Fair enough. Coming to the point I am afriad Umar is so out of form that might miss making the side for Champions Trophy which would be a shame. I know that Malik is going to play at #6 but given that it's England I can state with enough conviction that he will be an absolute failure (I am not wishing it but rather stating a fact) so it would be nice if Umar makes the squad and soon enough will find a place in the playing eleven after Malik's performance or lack of it.

 

[waqar goraya]

Port Qasim have won the match by 4 wickets.

Who won the toss?

As SNGPL are always adamant to bat first .i think it was a bat second pitch

 

[shah_1]

I think Umar Akmal will be dropped for CT

 

[saiyan0312]

First innings score: Hafeez 0(5), Taufeeq 11(18), Azhar Ali 95(136)*, Umar Akmal 18(37), Misbah 1(10), M. Rizwan 83(91). Abdur Rauf 1/17, Tanvir Ahmed 1/29, M. Talha 2/45, Umar Amin 2/37, Kamran Younus 1/60.

Thanks for the score. very good azhar. he is scoring big and rizwan totally impressed. great knock. umer akmal failed again. hafeez failed also. umar amin is showing good all round skills.

 

[ataullah]

How was talha pace wise n control wise?

 

[waqar goraya]

I think Umar Akmal will be dropped for CT

Anything can happen here in Pakistan.

Lets hope he scores some runs in next couple of matches..

 

[saiyan0312]

I wont be surprised. He was dropped after back to back fifties in his last 5 ODI so these bad scores are not helping.

I think farid khan who was present there could tell us how umer was batting. Was he confident or was he middling well or was he still that over confident kid who tries a shot that works only 1/10 times.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I think Umar Akmal will be dropped for CT

I don't agree with it but I understand why.

 

[Asif321]

sharjeel again impressive scores 90 , i think he should be taken ahead of farhat and shehzad

 

[Hamza_]

sharjeel again impressive scores 90 , i think he should be taken ahead of farhat and shehzad

He has to be, Averages more than other openers around in List A, Already got around 1100 runs in 26 innings at Average of 46 and highest score of 163.

 

[Adil Brohi]

Umar akmal and hafeez are in poor form, dont expect anything from either. Azhar Ali on the hand is showing some class, needs to play at 3 with jamshed and shehzad/sharjeel opening. Havent seen rizwan play but his stats show brilliance, should replace k akmal soon

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

How did Azhar play, did he do well against the spinners?

He played well, but was a bit slow. The wickets were falling time and again and he could hardly change gears.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

I forgot to ask the main question,How was the pitch?

The pitch was a very good one. Something for everybody.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

How was talha pace wise n control wise?

He looked in very good touch today. Kept things nice and tight and took two crucial wickets.

 

[Saeth]

How does umar amin played?and any inside info on pak squad for ct?

 

[sunnykhan]

I hope PP will also cover the next matches at Gaddafi Stadium. Tremendous stuff guys. Appreciated

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

I hope PP will also cover the next matches at Gaddafi Stadium. Tremendous stuff guys. Appreciated

Yes, we will cover them. Inshallah!

 

[ahmed778]

What about Umar Akmal's decision?

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

What about Umar Akmal's decision?

He went wild on that decision.

 

[sam]

Why did Afridi not play?

 

[ahmed778]

He went wild on that decision.

Was it a case of an inside edge or did the ball seem to be traveling down leg?

 

[ahmed778]

Why did Afridi not play?

His daughter is sick and is in the Hospital.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Why did Afridi not play?

He was on leave due to family issues. Reports claim that his daughter is unwell.

 

[BeingFaridKhan]

Was it a case of an inside edge or did the ball seem to be traveling down leg?

It was difficult to judge from the fence. He was not happy at all, though.

 

[Bullet Drive]

How did Umar Akmal look before he got out? Looked in good touch? Was he slogging or proper cricket strokes?
