Quetta has been a pathetic unit and I think they are gonna loose this game as well.
 
Moin Khan and Sarfraz aren't very bright individuals. Despite having an impressive set of individuals, they can't form a good team from them.
It’s their stupid captain holding them back

Saud insisting on opening is unbalancing the entire side.
 
sure brother...sureeee...
He saod batsmenship, which is true. Saud is Pakistan's best test player. You can clearly tell he has a very solid technique.

A good test player typically has good technique and footwork. Now yes that does not mean they will be good odi or t20 players as the likes of root, Steve smith are just okay in said format, but atleast their not technical clowns.

Rizwan can't play on the offside for the life of him which explains his inconsistent batting where he sometimes scores a 100 of 60 and another time scores 16 of 26 or 36 of 37, since it entirely depends on whether the bowler can figure out where to bowl to him.

It shows why rizzu is completely unadaptable.

Babar is a solid batsmen though, so i disagree with rana on that front, he had the ability to be a world class test and odi player and a decent t20 batsmen if he bothered to improve.

Those shots that he plays in nets, he never bothered to try em in international cricket.

Actually never mind, @Rana Is right, Babar has huge technical issues on the 3rd offstump line, against left handed pacers with the delivery that angels into him and against spin.

Saud only has issues against bounce mainly due to not being accustomed to such deliveries.

However mentally their equal as they don't have the mentality of adjusting to t20. Typical test mentality
 
Saud Shakeel was meant to be a decent option up top, but this season, he's turning out to be limited & dreadful.
 
Fair call, but they have to play the other emerging in the case of Nawaz

Don’t remember who it is.
Forgot Nawaz was an emerging player. I guess they can drop Abbott or one the other pacers for Muhammad Zeeshan
 
Aamer Jamal too many dramey and less cricket,

Needs to get his act together!
 
Exactly the line up I thought Quetta will go with now

Saud
Allen
Rilee
Chapman
Kusal
Nawaz
 
Massive failure by QG home batsmen.

Bunch of losers! Saud is only surviving because he is captain otherwise he is incompetent too!
 
This could be an opportunity for Hasan Nawaz to advertise himself as lower order hitter
 
Why Khawaja Nafay not playing . Saw his few inning at BPL. He looks talented opener played some valuable inning for them. Saud clearly not me for T20. His knock on other day must have dent his confidence and reputation. He should drop himself and let Nafay open or Hasan Nawaz
 
Finn Allen in PSL X so far:

53 (25) vs PZ
0 (3) vs LQ
6 (3) vs KK
0 (1) vs KK

Avg: 14, SR: 184
 
Really difficult new ball wicket to bat on

11 wickets in 16 overs
 
Hasan is such a slippery bowler. Because of that ultra low release point, it's very difficult to adjust to his trajectory for a lot of batters.

:hasan2

Nafay is extremely overrated. He has done a good job of marketing himself on social media.
 
Chapman is the key here for QG, someone in QG needs to tell him he is playing against Pakistan and just leave then
 
Hassan Ali hasn't bowled on true flat pitches (except for that one game)

In intl. cricket you'll mostly get flat pitches and scores of 180+ are a regular

He isn't being tested and the funny thing is, we see flat pitches regularly for Test cricket but not in the PSL

Absolutely shambolic

Which bowler in the PSL can overcome a true flat pitch ?
 
Which bowler in the PSL can overcome a true flat pitch ?
Don't know, but that's why we need flat pitches to find out

These pitches are not helping because those that perform get butchered in intl. cricket

Very frustrating
 
Asif Afridi has bowled well evrywhere tbf

Sorry , my bad. I was talking about the fast bowlers only. Hasan has bowled consistently well this season. No other fast bowler has come close in that regard.
 
So this is the Australian soil kicking in?

Is this why the track is pretty fast for Pakistan standards?
