PSL 2018 Match 15: Ronchi's 71 helps Islamabad United to put an end to Karachi Kings' unbeaten run

[babajee]

This hack has got all the luck

 

[Syed1]

Dropped and goes for four lmao

 

[Fahdi]

Babar really needs to stop charging down the track to spinners. I have hardly ever seen him pull it off successfully. Was lucky once again.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Babar dropped by Misbah’s favorite

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He is actually, took a great catch off a no ball before along with great ground fielding.

That was beyond embarrassing though and now again

 

[starbuck]

Fielding is very poor

 

[Justcrazy]

Karachi need to make sure they get on now.

 

[Syed1]

Hahahahha friend let down Misbah

 

[Usman Chadda]

Did someone in this thread say Asif Ali is a very good fielder?

 

[babajee]

I am a better batsman than Babar Azam atm.

 

[badsha001]

What's the reason Shadab cannot even buy a wickeT?

Dropped catch... He got a curse of this thread.

[DeadBall]

And just after someone started that fielding thread. Typical.

 

[Destroyer88]

Finally misbah got expressive

 

[Syed1]

And just after someone started that fielding thread. Typical.

Didn't you say Asif Ali is atleast a terrific fielder

 

[Justcrazy]

81 . 3

13 overs

 

[Big Mac]

Someone has to call for that catch, lucky Babar.

As much abuse as Babar was getting, Karachi are in a terrific position here. They can go all guns blazing with all these wickets in hand, 140-150 is on the cards and that's going to be difficult to chase down on this wicket.

I think IU have a very good chance of winning this season if they get the batting positions right with Rumman returning sooner rather than later. MS are also in strong contention as they seem a very balanced and in form team.

I think their problem is they don't have a Joe Root style player who knocks the ball around and keeps the scoreboard ticking over, which allows the players at the other end to swing the bat as hard as they like.

 

[Syed1]

What kind of crappy league this is which has dropped catches

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Karachi has to be one of the weakest teams and yet they're on the top of the table.

 

[Khan12]

Misbah friend dropped the catch.

 

[Fahdi]

Babar: Either stop coming down the track or take classes from Malik( for all his faults Malik is probably the best in the world when it comes to charging down the pitch and hitting spinners for spin).

That said Babar is much better when he comes down and plays the spinners towards off. It's the heave down leg that he needs to shelve.

 

[Syed1]

Karachi has to be one of the weakest teams and yet they're on the top of the table.

Have you seen our bowling attack?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What kind of crappy league this is which has dropped catches

Oh dear.

 

[coy0607]

psl 1 was soo much better
anyone?

these pitches are total garbage, to add there is very little batting talent in this PSL

still reasonably entertaining (for me at least) - but could have been so much better

 

[DeadBall]

Didn't you say Asif Ali is atleast a terrific fielder

He is. As is Walton. Mistakes do happen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Have you seen our bowling attack?

You moved from Islamabad to Karachi.

 

[world cup captain]

Last three overs have been a complete turn around for Karachi. Let's see if they can continue this.

 

[Syed1]

Oh dear.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Exactly.

 

[badsha001]

Haters will say it's a FLUKE.

 

[Syed1]

You moved from Islamabad to Karachi.

What???? I've always supported KK since I'm from there.

 

[Titan24]

psl 1 was soo much better
anyone?

PSL is still good. IPL was better in its first edition though.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You're not going to get anywhere with that

 

[last_knight]

145-2 is worse than 135-9.

 

[imshally81]

 

[babajee]

Talat is club level bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

Karachi has 9 wickets in hand , they need to use it .

 

[Syed1]

Lol calm down Ramiz hahha

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why isn't Russell bowling?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Ramiz

 

[world cup captain]

Bring back Sami and knock over a couple of wickets now.

 

[Syed1]

Crappy league strikes again

 

[Titan24]

What's the reason Shadab cannot even buy a wickeT?

In 2nd edition of PSL nobody knew how good he was. Now they dont take risks against him, thats one of the reasons.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Walton who is he fielding for? He isn't even in the playing eleven today

 

[DeadBall]

Someone has to call for that catch, lucky Babar.

As much abuse as Babar was getting, Karachi are in a terrific position here. They can go all guns blazing with all these wickets in hand, 140-150 is on the cards and that's going to be difficult to chase down on this wicket.



I think their problem is they don't have a Joe Root style player who knocks the ball around and keeps the scoreboard ticking over, which allows the players at the other end to swing the bat as hard as they like.

I think talat can do that if they send him up the order, Also Sahibzada is more of a rotation of strike player than a hitter, although he can up his game once set.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Why isn't Russell bowling?

I think he is off the field with a hamstring injury.

 

[Fahdi]

Very strange innings from Babar. Overall he has looked terrible but in between he has played some pretty good shots.

 

[Mian]

Why oh why I placed a bet on these hacks scoring 150+ in 20 overs

 

[Sirris]

"babar has so much to offer"

No the kid can't hit the big shots required in this format.

 

[Syed1]

Why isn't Russell bowling?

He is off the field... in the first or second over he fielded near the boundary and did a hammy and limped off.

 

[world cup captain]

Why isn't Russell bowling?

Injured in the first over of the match.

 

[babajee]

“Babar Azam is good against spin”

Rameez )

 

[Abdul]

Khurram >>>>>>>>>> Babar.

 

[Titan24]

Why isn't Russell bowling?

Something up with his leg

 

[Mercurial]

I think he is off the field with a hamstring injury.

Has Russell been picked in IPL?

 

[imshally81]

 

[Titan24]

What a shot from Babar

 

[Justcrazy]

91 / 1

14 overs

 

[Arham_PakFan]

After every shot Babar hits we have Ramiz talking about his talent.

 

[Syed1]

Shot Bobby

 

[imshally81]

“Babar Azam is good against spin”

Rameez )

I think... He was right...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Has Russell been picked in IPL?

Yes retained by KKR

 

[Titan24]

Has Russell been picked in IPL?

I guess he is picked by Kolkata

 

[world cup captain]

Why couldn't Babar do this before and get his team a better score?

 

[Sirris]

Seems like we have unearthed a new youngster beauty.

 

[Mercurial]

Manzoor tries too hard while hitting big, lol.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Has Russell been picked in IPL?

Yes.But i think he will be back for IU next game,just a hamstring injury from the looks of it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They should get 10-12 an over now and get 160

 

[babajee]

The worst 50 I have ever seen wallah

 

[Justcrazy]

big hit

 

[DeadBall]

Babar getting in the groove now, IU would be ruing that drop catch.

 

[Sirris]

Why couldn't Babar do this before and get his team a better score?

Mental issues. I hope he works on his short comings and justifies his spot in all three formats.

 

[imshally81]

Great shot

 

[Mercurial]

Hussain Talat is nothing more than a part timer, at best, in limited overs cricket. Poor move to give him 3 overs.

 

[Mian]

Both played for their 50s but khurram was less selfish

 

[Sirris]

The worst 50 I have ever seen wallah

Wallah, your wallah isn't trustworthy.

 

[Syed1]

Khuram Manzoor about to do victory lap of ground for his fifty

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar and Khurram need to go hell for leather. What are they taking singles for.

 

[Titan24]

Hussain Talat is nothing more than a part timer, at best, in limited overs cricket. Poor move to give him 3 overs.

Andre Russel’s injury forces this move

 

[world cup captain]

Damn you Babar, the one match I drop you from my fantasy team you get going!

 

[badsha001]

Finally some local batsman are scoring runs...
