Any chances of the play starting on time?

Any chances of the play starting on time?

Don't know what the current situation is.

The ground seemed to be pretty wet when the previous match was abandoned, not sure if it'll be dry enough in 55 minutes.

Also looking at Rumman's injury, I think the umpires will want to be sure that the conditions are good enough for fielders etc. before starting.

I hope it isn't still raining.

 

[Syed1]

The only way LQ can get a point.... In a way LQ personify Pakistan cricket... comprised of paindus not selected on merit relying on rain and other teams to advance : ))

 

[lahoriyah1234]

We want to win fair and square. I know we are not qualifying for play offs.

 

[MenInG]

Toss delayed by half an hour. Play will start at 8:30 pm (local) without any loss of overs, subject to no further rain

 

[DeadBall]

It has stopped drizzling for now once again but the outfield is too wet. Toss has been delayed and it will most probably be a delayed start, if any at all. My brother just send me a video and it's neither full fledged rain nor too light to start play. Really annoying.

 

[Abdullah719]

LQ win toss, bowling first.

Irshad and Farhan playing.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The crowd is massive tonight. Lahore better play better than they have so far.

Commentators bigging up Salman Irshad. Would be embarrassing if he is not anywhere close to 150 kph lol.

 

[DeadBall]

Good to see Sahibzada playing and Salman irshad playing.

 

[DeadBall]

Looks like Faheem, Sami and Dre Russ are IUs pace attack, maybe Talat will get a chance.

 

[DeadBall]

Deano back in the suit, so IU will win tonight.

 

[ManFan]

Deano back in the suit, so IU will win tonight.

Didn’t he step down as coach?

 

[srh]

why so many changes for Islamabad?

 

[Usman Chadda]

After playing a handy little innings in the last match, Faheem Ashraf has been demoted to number 9 apparently. MashaAllah.

 

[Plumb]

Isb looks much better on paper. LQ still persisting with useless fella UA.

 

[Plumb]

After playing a handy little innings in the last match, Faheem Ashraf has been demoted to number 9 apparently. MashaAllah.

He haven't come to bat yet. How you know?

 

[Usman Chadda]

He haven't come to bat yet. How you know?

Match line-up.

 

[ManFan]

The two culprits of the last match are back for IU in a potentially rain-shortened match. If IU top-order don’t fire, LQ might win an upset here.

 

[DeadBall]

Didn’t he step down as coach?

Nope, why would he. They seem to be doing alright so far.

 

[Syed1]

It's not rain-shortened

 

[DeadBall]

It's a full match as long as there is no more rain.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Why has Asif Ali been retained?And why has Finn been dropped?

 

[ManFan]

It's not rain-shortened

Thanks.

 

[ManFan]

Nope, why would he. They seem to be doing alright so far.

I swear I saw a press conference heading where he said due to IU’s poor performance he would step down. I thought it was unnecessary at that time also. Good news if he doesn’t, I love Deano.

 

[Rayyman]

LQ need to play this batting:
McCullum
Fakhar
Akmal
Ramdin
Akhtar
Narine
Agha

 

[srh]

what is the definition of Emerging player? Islamabad has 2 emerging players Farhan and Talat and Lahore has 1 emerging player Salman

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

Lahore not playing anyone of emerging players...salman is not among them.

 

[babajee]

Yesss ahaha

 

[MenInG]

Fakhar cannot open innings but can open bowling.... and takes a wicket!

 

[Syed1]

Battle of the minnows is always exciting

 

[babajee]

Who’s a better bowler Fakhar or Haris?

 

[Plumb]

LQ may still lose

 

[srh]

Farhan is bad against spin?

 

[DeadBall]

Just use pace against Pakistani players and spin against the foreigners. Easy peasy.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Why has Asif Ali been retained?And why has Finn been dropped?

misbah want to make sure he is not the slowest so he selected duminy again

 

[srh]

Farhan's footwork is not good

 

[Abdullah719]

Lahore not playing anyone of emerging players...salman is not among them.

He is.

 

[Syed1]

Shahibzada Shehzad

 

[Plumb]

save the fire for later.. LQ need to bat too

 

[srh]

Farhan looks undercooked; may be selected too early

 

[Syed1]

Misbah must be hoping the second wicket falls early will give him plenty of time to do tuk tuk to his heart's contnet

 

[Plumb]

Farhan looks undercooked; may be selected too early

PP experts made him look like ready to play 2019 Final

 

[Syed1]

PP experts made him look like ready to play 2019 Final

He has Ahmed Shehzadesque stance and set up and so far he is doing tuk tuk like him as well

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Lol why is Asif Ali still playing

 

[Plumb]

Or may be he learned to be in the team you gotta tuk tuk

 

[srh]

PP experts made him look like ready to play 2019 Final

just checked and I was right; he has only played 12 FC matches and 17 List A matches; very undercooked

 

[babajee]

He has Ahmed Shehzadesque stance and set up and so far he is doing tuk tuk like him as well

His role model is Ahmed Shehzad as well

 

[Rayyman]

Shawtt Duminy

 

[troodon]

Sahib going at 50 S/R against the great bowling of Zaman and Sohail Khan.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Duminy looking good today.

 

[Plumb]

His role model is Ahmed Shehzad as well

God save Pak cricket....how many upcoming 10-15 yrs old looking at tuk tuk, shezzy, UA as their role model

 

[Madplayer]

Farhan needs to play a long innings today.

 

[Syed1]

So far Farhan seems like a ghatiya batsman.


PSL is a good way to separate the wheat from the chaff and expose PP experts

 

[Rayyman]

Pitch is so bad no wonder he is struggling

 

[srh]

not liking Farhan's game right now

 

[Plumb]

So shiabzada defending the thunderbolts of sohail. How he 'll play real fast bowlers

 

[Madplayer]

So far Farhan has looked like another Ahmad shehzad. Uncanny resemblance at the crease. Aaaaannd :

 

[Syed1]

Pitch is so bad no wonder he is struggling

Yeah they lay out a different pitch every time Duminy takes the strike

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhan late on the shot consistently against Sohail Khan of all bowlers. I hope it's nerves.

 

[srh]

done; drop him Misbah please

 

[babajee]

 

[troodon]

God save Pak cricket....how many upcoming 10-15 yrs old looking at tuk tuk, shezzy, UA as their role model

Its all Misbah's fault.

 

[Ellipsism]

Farhan generally takes a while to start, thankfully can accelerate. Strike rotation is a weakness, albeit he isn’t as bad as Shehzad.

 

[Syed1]

Fazul batsman.... all hype no substance

 

[Madplayer]

done; drop him Misbah please

Misbah should drop himself first of all.

 

[troodon]

Why would you get Sahib out? Poor thinking from Sohail Khan.

 

[DeadBall]

Rana too happy again. We all know how that usually ends.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Massive strike-rotation issues. Not surprised. Very poor innings.

 

[Madplayer]

Fazul batsman.... all hype no substance

Have you become an expert too now? Join the club

 

[Rayyman]

Yeah they lay out a different pitch every time Duminy takes the strike

Duminy is leftie. SK was bowling better to Farhan. But yeah he didn't looking too good. Still I'd give him another chance.

 

[babajee]

Get Misbah out please.

Pleaseeee

 

[Madplayer]

Rana too happy again. We all know how that usually ends.

That smile is usually snatched off his moustache by the time the game ends.

 

[Plumb]

so sahibzada story is done... who is the next savior in batting left?? so far mmmmmmm no one for ODIs

 

[Ellipsism]

done; drop him Misbah please

This was only his second game, give him a consistent run.

First they complain when youngsters aren’t picked p, and when they are picked they want them dropped after 2 games.

 

[Syed1]

I hope Misbah goes early too and Talat comes in

 

[Barragan]

If Farhan is the biggest batting talent in Pak, then the national team is in huge trouble.

Looked ordinary and that shot was awful

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

is this even t20 tournament?
