[Ummii]

[WengerOut]

[DeadBall]

Dint MS play yesterday? Why play on consecutive days !!

Many teams have played on consecutive days especially during the double headers as there are only 6 teams.

 

[world cup captain]

Any team info?

Thanks

 

[letme alone]

cricinfo Barring Lahore Qalandar............. Consider this - how often in a league tournament do you see the points table reading thus - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. That's how incredibly well-fought this tournament has been.

 

[emranabbas]

Sultans should have batted first
This game will be a KK game

 

[AFM]

Do KK have any emerging except Irfan Jnr?

 

[letme alone]

no

 

[DeadBall]

Sultans should have batted first
This game will be a KK game

KK have a very fickle batting line up and would crashed under the pressure of chasing a good score. Lets see if they can put up a decent total now.

 

[DeadBall]

Good to see Lendl seeing off the new ball.

 

[emranabbas]

I can sense a edge and caught

Spot on....

 

[Shafi]

Why can't they drop Babar and Maqsood and play Taha and Abdullah?

 

[imshally81]

 

[DeadBall]

Simmon goes after a blazing 4(13).

 

[DeadBall]

KKs foreign player picks have been really awful.

 

[imshally81]

KM is still better than Simmons..

 

[imshally81]

 

[Railu Katta]

KK is the most boring team in the tournament.....

 

[Titan24]

Irfan bowling 148kph yorkers and consistently bowling above 143 kph

 

[MenInG]

Irfan bowling 148kph yorkers and consistently bowling above 143 kph

Really impressed.

 

[Railu Katta]

Babar trying to hit big is the funniest thing in PSL.

 

[Railu Katta]

Babar misses a full toss from Tahir )

 

[emranabbas]

Babar will play a trademark akmal innings

 

[Someone]

Check out my strike rate boys

 

[world cup captain]

Babar simply doesn't give me any confidence in him when he is out there anymore. Hope he can do something big to get himself back in the groove.

 

[DeadBall]

Check out my strike rate boys

7(11). Should be working there instead of playing professional T20.

 

[Railu Katta]

Number 1 T20 batsman striking at 65. Consistency

 

[world cup captain]

And to think that Misbah was being criticized for dropping Babar from Islamabad.

 

[AFM]

Number 1 T20 batsman striking at 65. Consistency

He's being too reckless. Needs to play himself in

 

[Railu Katta]

He's being too reckless. Needs to play himself in

Regardless of the situation and team requirement, Babar always bats the same.

 

[Someone]

Dont worry about me im just chilling here

 

[babajee]

Babar has lost it.

 

[emranabbas]

This is a KK game they just don’t have the batsmen

 

[pkckt]

Relax guys Babar is just preparing himself for the England series

 

[world cup captain]

Regardless of the situation and team requirement, Babar always bats the same.

He can have the perfect technique and all but he will never be anywhere close to Kohli as he lacks mentally. Babar is unable to understand the game thus doesn't look to even rotate the strike at times.

 

[letme alone]

Relax guys Babar is just preparing himself for the England series

then right

 

[world cup captain]

Babar has lost it.

The new trend seems like Pakistani batsman have a two year expiration date before they began to regress.

 

[Railu Katta]

Babar hits a boundary and then follows it up with a dot and an ugly hoick. Typical

 

[emranabbas]

Babar not enough power

 

[letme alone]

i think my steam works faster than babar

 

[imshally81]

Lucky boundary

 

[imshally81]

 

[Mirpur express]

Babar is playing a Shezzi style innings infact just like most promising Pakistani batsmen who give us false hope ,after a dream start they bloody nose dive, Baber is such a nice natural timer but wants smash it!!

 

[DeadBall]

Whats Imad Wasim doing in the crowd.

Ability is there, he simply doesn't have the mental game.

 

[daytrader]

One man show so far, maybe Denly can get a century here

 

[MMHS]

The new trend seems like Pakistani batsman have a two year expiration date before they began to regress.

It's actually old trend.

An U23 batsman comes with natural ability - for 1st few games, he survives on that until experienced bowlers/teams take notice and start to work on their game (counter strategy). It's always same for every batsman, in fact every sport. Now, the youngsters will also work on their game, mentoring, coaching, develop game intelligence .... those who can develop that can float around for years, even decades.

For PAK's case (batsman), for last 25 years, I can name at least 10-12 kids starting with a bang, then fade away - take a pick - S Elahi, SKabir, Md. Wasim, Nazir, Faisal, Taufique, Umar, Ahmed, Fakhar ..... The reason being, after 1/2 years in International circuits, these players are called on their loop holes by top pros - unfortunately they have only 2 places to go for fixing that - Quaid E Azam style or Basit Ali ......

 

[Railu Katta]

Nazreen aur hazraat, Babar Azam striking at 120!!! Aggressive

Fakhar seems to have improved a lot since the CT though?

 

[DeadBall]

Junaid Marshall gifting runs to KK.

 

[MenInG]

Junaid Marshall gifting runs to KK.

lucky edges too

 

[Khan12]

Babar should quit cricket as our pp experts have written him off.

 

[MMHS]

Fakhar seems to have improved a lot since the CT though?

He is working with Arthur, not Basit Ali.

Explain later - now watching the big soccer game.

 

[emranabbas]

Babar should quit cricket as our pp experts have written him off.

Should not at least play t20

 

[DeadBall]

Babar should quit cricket as our pp experts have written him off.

Even those that have been passengers in the team are not quitting willingly, never mind a newcomer like Babar.

 

[DeadBall]

Fakhar seems to have improved a lot since the CT though?

Improved? Maybe, but he has been mostly slogging blindly of late and has no sense of responsibility whatsoever.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Cozyrensetter]

Babar is the least of your problems.You should worry about Hafeez planning to play till 2023 world cup.

 

[Khan12]

Should not at least play t20

He should play t20s and open for us. We need hitters around him.

 

[imshally81]

Where's Afridi?

 

[DeadBall]

Crowd building up, too bad the next match will be a GQ v PZ borefest. Has the potential to be a closely fought match though as both teams are bang average.

 

[DeadBall]

Where's Afridi?

Ingram can hit better than Afridi.

 

[imshally81]

Another...

 

[daytrader]

Fifty for Babar!!

 

[daytrader]

Why is Malik bowling part timers?? Tanvir, Junaid and Tahir still have overs left

 

[imshally81]

 

[imshally81]

n again
