PSL 2018 Draft Thread

[Azzurri]

PSL3 will be a boredom fest

 

[Boi]

The draft has always been underwhelming in terms of Pakistani young talent every year. They carry on picking trash.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Multan Sultan picks Mohammad Abbas

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

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

Talent pool in national t20 > PSL

Yar it's always been like that. We were lucky last time that there were a lot of suspensions, injuries which meant they had to field youngsters.

Otherwise they always opt for seniors, experience just like PSL 1.

 

[Titan24]

Mohammad Abbas a good choice, can bowl some handy yorkers

 

[Watsupdoc]

Mohammad Abbas - surprising pick, I must say.

 

[DRsohail]

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.

MISBAH has done great this time around.would love to see who he picks this time in emerging category.he has surprised me this time.welldone KING MISBAH SO FAR>

 

[Professor]

Mohammed Abbas picked by Multan

 

[Hermoine Green]

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

Yep, he is a good pick tbh.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Mohammad Abbas's t20 record

7 games, 4 wickets , average 53, economy of 9

 

[DRsohail]

Multan Sultan picks Mohammad Abbas

lolz aill be carted like being done i national t20.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Mohammad Abbas's t20 record

7 games, 4 wickets , average 53, economy of 9

They just did not know what else to do.

 

[Titan24]

Yar it's always been like that. We were lucky last time that there were a lot of suspensions, injuries which meant they had to field youngsters.

Otherwise they always opt for seniors, experience just like PSL 1.

Wait for emerging. One emerging is must so you are gonna see atleast two emerging in every match. Much better than other leagues which dont even have emerging category

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Yar it's always been like that. We were lucky last time that there were a lot of suspensions, injuries which meant they had to field youngsters.

Exactly!
Just dissapointed k they are doing the same things.

 

[Titan24]

Mohammad Abbas's t20 record

7 games, 4 wickets , average 53, economy of 9

Records and stats are not everything, guy can do wonders under wasim

 

[Abdullah719]

Mohammad Abbas's t20 record

7 games, 4 wickets , average 53, economy of 9

It's OK he's done well in Tests

 

[Hermoine Green]

Qalandar picks Sohail Akhtar

 

[Godhelpma]

Carry on Multan and keep on surprising us all . Is Tom moody present in draft ceremony ?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Going for elders is in our DNA apparently.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Who is Sohail Akhtar?

 

[Ummii]

Waiting for Muhammad Asif's pick
Karachi kings wont pick him due to Muhammad Amir

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Lahore still has the most exciting players.

 

[Titan24]

Sohail Akhtar is 31? Is it the same Akhtar which LQ has selected?

 

[DRsohail]

Qalandar picks Sohail Akhtar

qalandar going for spinners and har hitters.

 

[Abdullah719]

Did Shoaib choose LQ's pick here?

 

[Professor]

Who is Sohail Akhtar?

I think he is from the talent hunt that LQ had.

 

[Ahson8]

Who the heck is Sohail Akhtar ?

 

[Hermoine Green]

For those who don't know, Sohail Akhtar is medium pacer and a good lower down hitter who plays for FATA.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

For me the main thing of PSL and other t20 tournaments is to see upcoming youngsters who can play for Pakistan later. There is cricket going around all over the world and we are not starved of it. I want to see upcoming Pak youngsters who are hungry to perform.

Sad to see teams going for oldies and TTfs.

 

[DRsohail]

MS AND QG fighting for the worst squad.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Waiting for Muhammad Asif's pick
Karachi kings wont pick him due to Muhammad Amir

They will ignore him. He has been always ignored since his ban finished. The reason he only plays FC where there isn't a draft system.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Who is Sohail Akhtar?

hope its not this guy

31 on year old with shocking stats
http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/player/532424.html

 

[Azzurri]

Sohail akthar is apparently some new dude, they found in LQ talent hunt programm

 

[Shafi]

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.

These franchises are even worse than PCB. Last time they took some young players by accident but this time they eliminate them Hussain Talat, Hasan Khan, Noor Wali, Hasan Mohsin, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Ghulam Mudassar, Khushdil Shah

 

[Hermoine Green]

Who the heck is Sohail Akhtar ?

Playing for FATA, medium and lower down hitter.

 

[Abdullah719]

hope its not this guy

31 on year old with shocking stats
http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/player/532424.html

It is.

Unless there's some other Sohail Akhtar but I didn't see any such player in the Rising Stars tourney.

 

[Markhor]

Sohail Akhtar has a T20 SR of 157 which is impressive, though is at the ripe age of 31.

 

[Titan24]

Sohail Akhtar is 31? Is it the same Akhtar which LQ has selected?

I think I saw him bowling for FATAtoday. Was pacy

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

For those who don't know, Sohail Akhtar is medium pacer and a good lower down hitter who plays for FATA.

Yea he did well today.

Lahore Qalanders the most exciting team!

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

It's OK he's done well in Tests

Multan has so many bowlers then why Abbass they need hitters..

 

[Hermoine Green]

hope its not this guy

31 on year old with shocking stats
http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/player/532424.html

Yep, same guy. Playing for FATA in National T20

 

[Azzurri]

For some strage reasons IU is the only team i hate

 

[Watsupdoc]

Zafar Gohar - a pretty good pick. Though not sure he will get much game time.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

These franchises are even worse than PCB. Last time they took some young players by accident but this time they eliminate them Hussain Talat, Hasan Khan, Noor Wali, Hasan Mohsin, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Ghulam Mudassar, Khushdil Shah

That's Pakistan cricket for you.

Like I said earlier: going for the most senior/elder is in our DNA apparently.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

great pick by ISU - Zafar Gohar

 

[Titan24]

Multan has so many bowlers then why Abbass they need hitters..

They had three left armers so they needed a right arm fast bowler

 

[Sirris]

So which youngsters can we look forward to guys?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

For some strage reasons IU is the only team i hate

Why? they look better this time. They were boring yes in the first two editions.

 

[Titan24]

So which youngsters can we look forward to guys?

Shaheen Shah, Sahibzada Farhan for emerging and few others

[Markhor]

Good pick that from IU - don't know why Gohar has fallen down the pecking order. Thought he bowled well on his debut vs England.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

These franchises are even worse than PCB. Last time they took some young players by accident but this time they eliminate them Hussain Talat, Hasan Khan, Noor Wali, Hasan Mohsin, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Ghulam Mudassar, Khushdil Shah

Hussain Talat is the FUTURE... He'll be the best lower order finisher ever produced by Pakistan..

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

great pick by ISU - Zafar Gohar

Very talented lad. Just doesn't get a consistent run in any team.

 

[pkwdpassion]

Little disappointed with #PSLdraft Saad Ali, Sahibzada Farhan still not picked up, but really surprised and happy for Sohail Akhtar, who had the least chance to be in PSL due to his age.

Originally from Abbottabad, Sohail Akhtar is an all-rounder comes in lower middle order playing for FATA, he has hit the most no. of sixes in Quaid e Azam trophy (14 sixes) an incredible hitter of the ball.

 

[Azzurri]

Why? they look better this time. They were boring yes in the first two editions.

No idea really. Even though Multan and Quetta are worst teams by far

 

[DRsohail]

great pick by ISU - Zafar Gohar

waw islu .i amgoing to support them this time if they pick more like this.

 

[Titan24]

Taimur Sultan just made a century in QEA trophy he is just 22

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

They had three left armers so they needed a right arm FAST bowler

Are you sure ? Abbass and Imad bowl at same pace )

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

PSA

Farhan, Talat , Shaheen are all in the emerging category

so hopefully they get picked

 

[Titan24]

[Hermoine Green]

PZ Picks "Taimoor Sultan"

 

[Titan24]

Saad Ali with Quetta

 

[Ummii]

So they didnt select any Afghan players.its mean clash b/w PCB n ACB didnt end yet

 

[Hermoine Green]

Gladiators picks Saad Ali

 

[Markhor]

These franchises are even worse than PCB. Last time they took some young players by accident but this time they eliminate them Hussain Talat, Hasan Khan, Noor Wali, Hasan Mohsin, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Saifullah Bangash, Shahzaib Hasan, Ghulam Mudassar, Khushdil Shah

Shahzaib Hasan is still involved in the spot fixing case.

 

[Sirris]

Shaheen Shah, Sahibzada Farhan for emerging and few others

Let's hope they get picked.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

dont think Saad Ali has it in him to play in limited overs cricket

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Some guys here dont know about emerging category and are sad over some of them not being picked. Guys check out the emerging list before saying why that guy isnt picked

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Lol no one is going to pick Lewis )

He will be playing Qualifiers to qualify for WC2019 at that time.

 

[pkwdpassion]

Gladiators picks Saad Ali

still FArhan and Awais Zia should be picked

 

[Markhor]

Is Saad Ali suited to T20 cricket ?

 

[Hermoine Green]

Karachi Kings picks Tabish Khan

 

[Ummii]

Tabish khan KK

 

[Titan24]

dont think Saad Ali has it in him to play in limited overs cricket

List A average of 55, runs over 100 and strike rate of 85 say otherwise

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Tabish Khan to Karachi.

Another buzurg even though he is a domestic giant.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

So they didnt select any Afghan players.its mean clash b/w PCB n ACB didnt end yet

Busy in feb with qualifiers Along with Lewis, Gayle etc. from WI.

 

[Hermoine Green]

Is Saad Ali suited to T20 cricket ?

[Prince of Pakistan]

Tabish khan KK

Rashif Latif got him in.
