PSL 2018 Draft Thread

[AFM]

yeah he just gets downgraded to gold

Is that true for all the players unselected so far? For e.g. are the likes of Gayle and E Lewis still avaliable?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Whats up with Hammad Azam's bowling average of 21 with 150 wickets

Green Pitches plus his height

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Whats up with Hammad Azam's bowling average of 21 with 150 wickets

Doesn't give the batsmen pace to play with

 

[fasihulhaq94]

He will be an easy choice to bench

) brilliant!

 

[DRsohail]

But Misbah doesn't like youngsters

he is an estabished player and MISBAH ko halwa pasand ha.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I think some players have a minimum amount that they will play for. For example no way Gayle is coming for $25,000

 

[Hasan123]

he is an estabished player and MISBAH ko halwa pasand ha.

He isn't an established player yet lol. He hasn't even played 15 ODIs.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Karachi and Lahore have done the best far


Quetta have been shocking

 

[Titan24]

I am hoping for Imam ul Haq and Sami Aslam to get selected along with Gauhar Ali. Sahibzada will be a hot commodity along with Shaheen in emerging category

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Talat is in emerging as well, hope he gets pick, surprised ISU did not retain him

 

[pkwdpassion]

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Karachi and Lahore have done the best far

Karachi and Lahore always have the best picks but still cant make the finals.

Quetta continuing with their atrocious selections. Only living and qualifying for finals due to Sarfraz's captaincy and batting.

 

[asadee]

Is Hasani Ali still with PZ?

 

[Markhor]

Quetta always tend to maximise the most out of their squad even though its limited on paper lacking big names, and that's mainly thanks to their captain.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Is Hasani Ali still with PZ?

Yes

 

[angrypathan]

Is Hasani Ali still with PZ?

Yes he was retained

 

[Markhor]

Mickey saying that its important to use PSL to groom future captains.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hopefully PSL guys are watching National T20 Cup where Shan is on 44 off 29 right now

 

[Markhor]

Good to hear Dean Jones talking about developing players for the national team.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Jason Mohammad and Shabhir Rahman, Paul Stirling, Alzari Joseph are probably the best of the foreigners in the silver section


Kamran Gulam and Raza Hasan will the best Pak players in Silver imo

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

yaar don't give us a heart attack

 

[DRsohail]

He isn't an established player yet lol. He hasn't even played 15 ODIs.

lolz just u are here saing he is not everyone knows his value .mibahs would have done great if he picked him last year not now.

 

[Barragan]

What a joke to see ingram being picked in the platinum category.

Can't play spin to save his life.

Well done KK on picking a dud.

 

[Shafi]

So far the list of oldies/TTFs/No hope players

Misbah-ul-Haq, Anwar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Rahat Ali, Umar Akmal, Sohail Khan Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Irfan, Sohaib Maqsood and Ahmed Shehzad,

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

What about other categories??

 

[asadee]

Supporting either Islo or PZ this year to support Faheem and Hammad

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Jason Mohammad and Shabhir Rahman, Paul Stirling, Alzari Joseph are probably the best of the foreigners in the silver section


Kamran Gulam and Raza Hasan will the best Pak players in Silver imo

Gold players will now be downgraded to silver.

[DRsohail]

What about other categories??

was in a hurry thats why.

 

[shady]

Man, they really need to streamline this draft process in the future. So many unnecessary breaks and time stoppages.

 

[DRsohail]

So far the list of oldies/TTFs/No hope players

Misbah-ul-Haq, Anwar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Rahat Ali, Umar Akmal, Sohail Khan Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Irfan, Sohaib Maqsood and Ahmed Shehzad,

quetta win here lolz.

 

[Shafi]

This year PSL is very bland with not many youngsters than last one

 

[Shafi]

quetta win here lolz.

Sarfraz is so bias unfortunately!!!!!

 

[Smbhayi]

My support shifted to Karachi Kings

 

[Madplayer]

Multan has the oldest squad so far. Worse than Misbah's team lol

 

[Hermoine Green]

Thanks PZ for picking Hammad Azam.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Silver category starts right now, Qalandars to get a first pick.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

the funny thing about Quetta is that Umar Amin will be on the bench while Asad Technique will be a guaranteed starter

 

[Hasan123]

lolz just u are here saing he is not everyone knows his value .mibahs would have done great if he picked him last year not now.

I don't even think he was in the draft last year.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Multan has the oldest squad so far. Worse than Misbah's team lol

May be Malik was waiting for Silver and Emerging for youngsters..

 

[Hermoine Green]

Qalandar picks Raza Hassan

 

[Watsupdoc]

So many spinners for Lahore.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Qalandar picks Raza Hassan

they dont really need him

Will be waste if he goes to a team where he doesnt play

 

[shariqnoor]

Apart from Malik, Sangakkara and Imran Tahir, the Multan squad looks pretty bleak. Islamabad for me the pick of the teams. Most of the bases covered for them. Would probably like a pure batsman or two in there to support Misbah.

 

[Boi]

Raza Hasan better get some games. Hope he doesnt get benched like Gohar was last year.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Yasir
Bilal
Narine
Raza

4 spinners

 

[DRsohail]

I don't even think he was in the draft last year.

but how can he get to be prasied for picking aplayer who was a part of CT winning squad.

 

[DRsohail]

yes ilsu win it so far.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Islamabad picks Sam Billings

 

[Watsupdoc]

Isloo picking two foreign keepers...

Not a bad pick though Billings.

 

[mak36]

but how can he get to be prasied for picking aplayer who was a part of CT winning squad.

Shehzad was also part of CT squad.

 

[Markhor]

Multan has the oldest squad so far. Worse than Misbah's team lol

Multan seem to be full of Karachi Kings cast-offs. Hardly any young player to get excited about yet Misbah is the one who gets it in the neck for picking seniors.

 

[Azeem Zafar]

Islamabad have completed their playing eleven now with the inclusion of Billings.

 

[Godhelpma]

Multan has the worst squad uptil now , no proper hitter and all the retired or TTFs are in their squad . They need to select some power hitters to compete with other teams .

 

[DRsohail]

Shehzad was also part of CT squad.

he has beenthe top run scorer in PSL as well and is a good pick.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Zalmi picks Saad Nasim

 

[Professor]

Saad Nasim for PZ

 

[DRsohail]

Zalmi picks Saad Nasim

lol big lol.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Sarfraz will pick Asad Shafiq

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Multan has the worst squad uptil now , no proper hitter and all the retired or TTFs are in their squad . They need to select some power hitters to compete with other teams .

They'll need 3 players for 5'6'7 spots..

 

[Abdullah719]

Sarfraz will pick Asad Shafiq

No need, he was retained.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Quetta Gladiators picks Rameez Raja Junior

 

[Azzurri]

Quetta is official TTF XI

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Dont mind Rameez Raja jnr being picked, he certainly can hit big

Saad Nasim is a waste of space, Ghulam is superior in every way

 

[Shafi]

Not many promising young players this time around!!!

 

[DRsohail]

Quetta Gladiators picks Rameez Raja Junior

thats good pick .

 

[kingusama92]

Quetta seems to use a clear strategy.

They push for players who have a chip on their shoulder and may want to prove they're worth something. Otherwise, some of the selectons are absurd.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Not many promising young players this time around!!!

I am sure we'll see some from emerging category.

 

[Professor]

Ramiz Raja JR isn,t a bad pick, he is a pretty decent hitter.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Karachi Kings picks David Wiese

 

[DRsohail]

Nauman anwar>???

 

[Professor]

David Wiese for Karachi, good pick.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Another all-rounder for Karachi.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Not many promising young players this time around!!!

Many? I dont see "any"

 

[shariqnoor]

Misbah-ul-Haq, Andre Russell, JP Duminy, Samuel Badree, Mohammad Sami, Luke Ronchi, Rumman Raees, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Amad Butt, Asif Ali, Sam Billings

With an attack of:

Badree, Sami , Rumman, Shadab and Faheem, I don't see them getting carted around. With the added advantage of Shadab and Faheem batting, they are a strong squad. Although they probably lack a genuine batsman in the mould of Sangakkara who can bat 20 overs. Lots of power hitting in the squad but a collapse-worthy team as well right now.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Quetta Gladiators picks Rameez Raja Junior

Mashallah.. So Sarfi left two of his performers I.e Shehzad and Luke Wright and now selecting a rubbish **** Squad.. Though International picks are good so far.. KP, Watson, Braithwatte, Riley..

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Very good bowling attack if Kk

7.Afridi
8.Imad
9.Wiese
10.Amir
11.Johnson

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Not many promising young players this time around!!!

Pakistanis always have been obsessed with seniority, experience. You can see that with the owners as well.

We were lucky that last time around they had to field guys like Shadab etc. after some suspensions, injuries.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Dissapointed by selections from all teams. Bas batain krwa lo youngsters youngsters ki.

Talent pool in national t20 > PSL

 

[DRsohail]

Karachi Kings picks David Wiese

i think he is a useful hitter as well.??
