PSL 2018 Match 17: Quetta Gladiators seal stunning last-over win in thriller against Multan Sultans

Badar to come in at #7 and try to slog a few. Get out and be dismissed as “not good enough”.
 
does anyone notice sarfraz doesnt have habit of breaking the stumps i know shoaib malik would've easily made this time but we saw plenty of times that sarfraz doesnt care breaking stumps when throw comes in but he is busy staring at bowlers. plenty of times he missed easy runouts b3cause of he is more interested in giving bowlers and fielders look

Whiteley is rubbish

Should drop him, play Badar up the order and bring in Hardus

Sarfaraz also breathes. How dare he!

Sometimes he looks like a chubby kid who got his toys taken away from him. He has only his cricketing brain working for him now. Been an absolute dud with the bat in the last 2 years. He is actually decent at #5 but chooses to accommodate that spot for oldies Malik and Hafeez.

He inexplicably did not break the stumps in the last edition when the batsman would have been out.
 
Rahat hae been really impressive till now in the tournument. His pace is up, touching 141-144 kph regularly and getting good shape on the ball
 
Saif's domestic record doesn't look like out of the world... What am I missing here?

Yes his record is not impressive but the guy has got some talent and people recognise that. But surely he needs to convert that talent into performances if given opportunity
 
I’ve said this before and I’m saying it again. Malik and Hafeez aren’t in the same league. Malik is better than many of the young batsmen in Pakistan’s international XI.

After playing 300+ matches surely one can talk now
 
Irfan warming up using a basket ball. Poor basket ball had to come down from burj khalifa.

300+ matches and 19 years and counting of international cricketing experience. Surely he can score a 50 on a flat wicket in the desert against mediocre bowling. Top stuff at 35+.

Can you imagine if he debuted at 21-22? Guy could have taken 300 Test and 350 ODI wickets. But apparently some thought that a 7ft 1 inch bowler wasn’t cut out for international cricket.

It’s about performance isn’t it? Why would you kick a senior player out just because he’s a senior? I don’t want to see another Bangladesh.

AUS kicked out Dizzy after he took 10 wickets and scored a 200* in his final match because he was on the wrong side of 30.
 
MS have 3 batsmen in the top 5 scorers, no wonder they are on top. If one batsman fails another one stands up.

They probably had options you don’t have :). Even India with all the batting batting talent around is unable to find a decent replacement for MSD.

The big scores are against WI and SL. Lets not drag the conversation about someone who should be warming the bench. Malik and Hafeez been trolling pak cricket for a very long time. I would take failures of youngsters in consecutive series rather than seeing these players.

Highly unlikely. It’s the same old cliche’ of “ he’s the best we’ve got”. I guarantee that if Shehzad had not failed against IND in the CT opener, FZ would have rotted in the team for years to come. On the AUS note, their standards were high and that is why they were able to maintain a consistently dominant position in the rankings for so long. If you lower your standards to the likes of a 35+ Malik and Hafeez, even if you meet your desired results, they are not worth repeating in front of others. Like a 42 year old Misbah leading PAK to a 5-0 against NZ and AUS.

A team full of inexperienced young players doesn’t guarantee success in the long run. Never forget what happened to Bangladesh. I don’t know man but Malik always had that extra gear which Hafeez just doesn’t have. Maybe you’re right he’s too old to be persisted with.
 
Watson is probably upset that he has to bat with Asad Shafiq lol

It’s always good to have 3-5 senior players in the side. Malik can go boom but only against spin. That’s his biggest weakness and strength. He looks to play out the fast bowlers with dabs to third man and than bash the spinners. In the next WC in AUS, he won’t get away with it.
