[Madplayer]

Qalanders are turning into blunders.

They better win this game. I'm backing them today

 

[AFM]

Another episode of Pakistan's biggest new sitcom

Filmed in front of a live studio audience

 

[Sirris]

The question isn't who will win. The question is how will the Qalandars lose today. That's the only interesting aspect in this match.

 

[MenInG]

Multan win toss and batting

 

[another drop catch]

umar gul ? ? ?

 

[BlueDoritos]

Ramdin out Gulraiz in

Tuk Tuk Brothers)

 

[UN talkz]

Finally Mitch McClenaghan gets a game.

 

[UN talkz]

umar gul ? ? ?

Knee problem

 

[BlueDoritos]

Shehzad playing again. What a farce.

 

[dauntless]

Oh man sohail trundler khan once again

 

[dauntless]

Lahore might win today

 

[AFM]

When did Qalandars get Abbott?

 

[Mr.Q]

I'm postponing some important work to watch this. Hope Lahore wins.

 

[Big Mac]

I'm postponing some important work to watch this. Hope Lahore wins.

 

[ZyzzBrah]

Baz and management are a disgrace to the city of Lahore. They need to be relegated. I’d love to see.a whole new team under the Lahore city. Maybe Lahore lightening. Baz is a spineless coward, sent in ramdin instead of himself. Ramdin should not be playing. I hope Lahore lose today and the remaining three games. Hopefully this will spur on some changes. It’s a joke a a farce. People of Lahore should be outraged.

 

[dauntless]

Smash this trundler out of the park

 

[dauntless]

After all huffing and puffing he bowls at 130ks

 

[dauntless]

Here comes the standout player for lahore to bowl

 

[dauntless]

Yeah this is what I m talking about smash this trundler

 

[dauntless]

Yeah great.lovely to see

 

[DeadBall]

Sanga smacking Sohail all over the place.

 

[Mr.Q]

.
.
.

 

[asifp]

Sanga - man, what a player. Pure class.

Who would think Ahmed S is the current player and Sanga is retired

 

[dauntless]

Sanga toying now

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

what joke this ahmed shehzad is
jis shaan se dot pey dot deyta hay wah wah

 

[BlueDoritos]

Shehzad is trying hard to play even one Professor-esque knock (run-a-ball 50), because that'll be enough for his selection in the next series.

 

[DeadBall]

Sanga gone for 45(30) and Shehzad still striking at below a run a ball.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Shehzad is useless, that's why Sangakkara tried to hit again and got out. Still Shehzad have no shame, he'll try to tuk tuk his way to a 50.

 

[BlueDoritos]

This pitch is still very good to bat on, 200 should be scored here.

 

[dauntless]

Mediocre shahzad doing what he does best 21 off 22balls

 

[DeadBall]

McCullum dropped a sitter of Sohaib, looks like he has mentally checked out of the tournament already.

 

[Mercurial]

Go Nawaz Go, lol.

 

[DeadBall]

Chants of Go Nawaz Go in the crowd.

 

[Madplayer]

How selfish is Ahmad shehzad?

He sets the bar higher after every few matches.

 

[shah_1]

Shehzad has been a total waste in this tournament


Repeating the same mistake of not rotating the strike, he deserves to be dropped forever and never picked again. His fans need to understand that if he isn't willing to improve his game at this point of career then there is no point of continuing with him.

 

[dauntless]

He is really poor batsman with so limited skill set.He should be no where near national team

 

[DeadBall]

Shehzad should grow a short beard like he had before, he looks too pappu chikna bacha with a clean shave.

 

[Mercurial]

Harmless batting by these two. Man, this Shehzad is so outdated, plays One Day cricket in T20 format, and Test cricket in ODI format.

 

[dauntless]

Shaheen has yet to bowl

 

[BlueDoritos]

Sharamful knock by Shehzad

 

[dauntless]

Still 32 off 32 balls.So mediocre

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

shehzad innings phase
tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk less than run a ball>
blind hits> if he is still der than wannabe abd stuff
well the longer he stays the more torturous he is.
as i type
lol he is gonee to same shot wanna be abd

 

[Madplayer]

And gone after making sure the team has suffered enough. 32(33) t20 cricket hum sharminda hai.

 

[Rayyman]

Again no chance for Saif

 

[Hamza_]

Sultans and Kings are both really boring teams

 

[dauntless]

Malak Saab in now

 

[DeadBall]

Sultans and Kings are both really boring teams

Sultans are a good team with entertaining batsmen like Sanga, Maqsood, Malik, Pollard etc but Shehzad negates all the goodwill built by them.

 

[dauntless]

Finally shaheen comes to bowl in 14th over

 

[Madplayer]

Shaheen bowling well.

 

[pkckt]

Seems like plan was to hide the spinners against Malik and bring shaheen when malik comes in, not a bad one tbh

 

[BlueDoritos]

When Sangakkara got out the run rate was 7.6. Now it dropped to 6.7.

 

[dauntless]

Chal paii malak Saab sutt de stadium de paar

 

[Madplayer]

Sohaib "i always believed in my abilities" maqsood bowled after a blind swing of the bat.

 

[Madplayer]

The only positive is that maybe we'll get to see Saif.

 

[Rayyman]

Sultans and Kings are both really boring teams

Better than Misbah's XI with Asif Ali, Sami, Iftikhar...

 

[dauntless]

Ahmed mediocre shehzad is culprit here

 

[dauntless]

Brilliant by shaheen

 

[Adijazz1706]

Afridi on a hatrick

 

[Mercurial]

If Shaheen works on his muscles strength, he can easily click 150 kph.

 

[DeadBall]

Shehenshah announcing his arrival.

 

[DeadBall]

PP darling Saif finally gets a chance.

 

[DeadBall]

Saif gone.

 

[Rayyman]

Shaheen on

 

[Adijazz1706]

Badar disappoints the whole of PP

 

[DeadBall]

Pollard and Tanveer do have the potential to take them to 135-140.

 

[DeadBall]

Oh well, Pollard should hit out now as the rest can't bat.

 

[Titan24]

That delivery from Shaheen to Whitely was awesome

 

[AFM]

Great prospect this young man

 

[babajee]

Lmao at the people who wrote off Shaheen after a few matches.

 

[Titan24]

Lmao at the people who wrote off Shaheen after a few matches.

Exactly even I wrote about Shaheen's potential on his thread, but ppl were too harsh on him.

 

[shah_1]

144?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another wicket for Shaheen

 

[DeadBall]

Can Shaheeh get a 5er.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

4 fer for Shaheen.

Figures of 4-4 in 3.3 overs

 

[Arham_PakFan]

FIve for for Shaheen!!

Irfan bowled on his first ball.

 

[DeadBall]

Oh its Irfan, 5er confirmed.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Target of 115 for LQ to achieve their first win of the season.
