PSL 2018 Match 1: Multan Sultans down reigning champions Peshawar Zalmi in their debut match

Typical Pakistanish start by Peshawar, openers going nowhere :facepalm:
 
How is Irfaaaan bowling? Ul Haq missed a trick by not picking him for Kiwi tour, still the best possible partner of Amir with new ball.
 
Anil Kapoor in the house. Lets see how much hate he gets on Twitter and Facebook tomorrow.
 
Peshawar has a really weak team, only the international players are making it look somewhat competitive.
 
Hoping all pitches aren't like this. Do need some batting friendly pitches.

Starting matches have bit more grass so that pitches dont become big turners in the last part of the league stages.

Its not like bowl is moving a lot, just a bit pacy

Bowling of Peshawar has been really impressive with Asghar, Hassan, Wahab and Jordan
 
Why doesn't my cricinfo scorecard now autorefreh? It gets stuck at a point and even if I refresh manually after some while it goes back to the same point. Happens for all matches. Has cricinfo changed something.

Sorry to use commentary thread for the question but I was trying to follow the game.
 
That Zalmi batting lineup looks very ordinary.

Only Tamim and Dwayne Smith are good players. The rest are mediocre T20 players.
 
I think Multan has the best bowling attack of PSL 3.

Yes its good but wait for the arrival of Hassan Ali, and Shinwari, Amir, Mills, LQ and IU attack isnt too shabby either
 
Pull out your cameras ladies and gentlemen as you witness some of the game's most beautiful leaves.:hafeez2

T20 actually is Tamim's weakest suit. I think PZ made draft blunders this year - over paid for obsolete oldies and picked foreigners for wrong format, wrong time. Shakib's injury isn't helping either, though he would have stayed there for 10-12 days.

I wont write off Haris, Hammad and Sammy as of now
 
Bowling by Juni. Dwayne Smith doesnt look amused one bit
 
Side effects of having a good bowling tradition. They wont let anyone score runs easily in their own league.
 
Hafeez is at his best when he is aggressive . When he plays defensive and timid he doesn't seem the same.
 
I feel Multan have a very short batting line up. Sohail Tanvir is at no.7 which is way too high for him IMO
 
Team Zalmi has missed it big time. On this green top pitch they are playing 3 spinners and i am sure they will have to defend a very small total so no chance.
 
Malik probably'll use Irfaaan for 4 overs at one go, no point resting that huge corps for one over and bring him later without rhythm.

Yes, he is specially for T20. Main reason for his drop is fielding, Mickey does not like his fielding. To be fair, he had never completed 10 overs in ODI, under Mickey, that drivers him nuts, which we could see 1000s miles away ;-)
