PSL 2018 Eliminator 2: Peshawar Zalmi defeat Karachi Kings to make it to PSL 2018 final

KAmran should get a call guys, he isn't slogging - these are pure cricket shots.
 
Usman has invested more time in looks than on polishing his skills/talent. The same can be said for every other domestic player participating. Not saying they should like a ghisa phita player, but you can check the looks of these players and judge them well.

damn it. Poor Usama Mir...he's a wonderful leg spinner. The occasion might be too big for this young guy right now....hoping he comes back stronger if he gets another over.
 
Make that 250 runs that Karachi has given in the last 19 overs bowled . .
 
Just turned on TV

What's going on? Wet ball? Terrible bowing? Extras and wides?

He has played these innings at this level before. Kami always had potential but the ship has sailed. He is a failure at international level and has used up his 3 chances( twice I believe)

Combination of terrible bowling and wet ball

Don't understand why the opening bowlers kept on bowling short, should have pitched it up.

But he is a dud fielder, poor fitness as well. And international class bowlers hardly ever allow him to get away.

I would replaced Sarfraz with Kami in T20Is. But I would not select Kami if Sarfraz is also playing. Sarfraz has to be out of the team for Kami to get selected
 
Amir should bowl now and get Akmal out.

He should not hide and lead the kings from the front.
 
Lala back from Surgery Drama? Wasn't he undergoing some procedure? How can he be back on his feet?
 
KK's bowlers had been man handled by 2 WKs in last 2 vital games.

I feel like the shorter boundary is helping him. Some of those shots might have been caught. Especially that flat 6 he hit. In saying that, can't use that as an excuse. Great batting by Kami bhai.
 
Kamran might score the fastest 100 in Pakistan's history.

Arthur actually hinted that - "where can we put KA, Sarfraz is Captain .... & WK". It's a political put admission that Kamran deserves the chance as WK, but Sarfraz is Captain!!!! Kamran probably has even kept better than Sarfraz in this PSL, and looked fitter between two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His weakness is outside off, keep a short thirdman/point fielder, bowl short of length, get him to cut. After his Karachi innings India has tried this successfully on him many times.

Kami's belly is bigger than Sarfraz'....watch the game
 
Wait this is so confusing

Amir has figures of 2/5....

So 102 runs in 7 overs!?!?!!?!?
 
Akmal is the best opener in Pak according to this PSL edition. Not even Zaman can do what Akmal is doing. Surely he deserves a spot in the team.

Akmal should open with Zaman.

Right like they did it in 2011.

One reason being, Indian bowlers worked out with MS & support staffs - Kami went to Basit Ali ..... :) Point, is this will be always the case - bowlers will find a way to block scoring areas and batsman will work on counter starter (but not with Basit Ali ...). Long back, Faisla Iqbal sent Warne almost out of attack in a Test that PAK narrowly lost with outstanding footwork & dancing down inside out drives - next 2 Tests, Warne got him 3 times caught at short cover, basically putting a cordon between point to mid off.

Lot of International teams have taken his wicket this way. Ian Chappel mentioned this weakness while commentating. Bring in a fast bowler and bowl outside off at a good length. keep a fielder at deep point and Kami will cut straight to him every time.

So Sarf plays because he has smaller belly?

Yes for that poster Sarfaraz shouldn't play because he has a belly regardless of whatever his performances maybe

So by his own logic Kamran will never make cut because he has a bigger belly if poster is consistent

No he plays because he's performed better in his short time than Kamran did in 10 years combined. Wasn't Kamran brought in the team after last years PSL?

I am all for dropping Sarfraz all together from the T20I squad. But I would have preferred that a younger explosive WK replace Sarfraz like Bismillah Khan.

Also, that Kamran and this Kamran isn't same - I have never seen him playing better than this. He had a good PSL last year as well, but this is something else.

Thank you. But logic doesn't stick with these guys.
