PSL 2018 Match 24: Lahore Qalandars beat Karachi Kings in Super Over after late drama

[Justcrazy]

112 from 14 overs required

 

[babajee]

In T20s, yes. He has no business being there.

He can hold up an end and can be surrounded by hitters.

 

[letme alone]

No new news. Qalandars always start well.

you want collapse

 

[DeadBall]

He can hold up an end and can be surrounded by hitters.

We don't the luxury of hitters in the top 5 apart from Fakhar.

 

[Sirris]

you want collapse

No I like these two kids. I want them to do good. Just let the Qalandars fans know to keep their expectations low.

 

[babajee]

We don't the luxury of hitters in the top 5 apart from Fakhar.

That’s why we need to get them into the side.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate 8.59 right now.

 

[DeadBall]

That’s why we need to get them into the side.

Yes and get rid of Babar too. We don't have to compensate a place for him by hook or crook by replacing others.

 

[DeadBall]

Fakhar looking at sea today.

 

[babajee]

Yes and get rid of Babar too. We don't have to compensate a place for him by hook or crook by replacing others.

Ok tell me your top 5 in T20s without Babar

 

[DeadBall]

Shot by Agha.

 

[babajee]

Fakhar

 

[letme alone]

Agha can very good spin bowler. he was one best player as a allrounder in lahore team among other, he singly handled his team

 

[babajee]

Don’t throw it away Fakhar

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar playing well here

 

[DeadBall]

That dude is going to have a heart attack.

 

[Justcrazy]

Qalandar have this in the bag.

 

[DeadBall]

Fakhar turning it on. Fact that it was Afridi makes it sweeter.

 

[DeadBall]

Fakhar and Agha playing sensibly.

 

[Justcrazy]

82 from 60 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope Qalandars do not mess up this one.

 

[letme alone]

very sensibly batting

 

[babajee]

Kyun kiya Fakhar

 

[babajee]

Now the collapse starts

 

[The_Odd_One]

Damn, Fakhar almost hit it for 6.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Annoyed at fakhar always hits 30-40s and gets out. Really needs to sort that out

 

[DeadBall]

Shahid Afridi has become such a coward (or smarter?), not coming out to bat unless it's in the last couple of balls and then taking himself off once Fakhar gives him phainty. Now that Fakhar is out expect him to come back and try his luck against the newly arrived batsman at the crease.

 

[babajee]

Annoyed at fakhar always hits 30-40s and gets out. Really needs to sort that out

Only in T20s. In ODI, once he’s in he’s in.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

He's 29 from 26 in a T20 game after being dropped on 0. If it wasn't for Denly yesterday who took the pressure off him and allowed him to get in and Simmons today it could potentially be a match losing innings.

I'm late in replying to this but this is why we don't have any batsmen or batting culture in pakistan. A batsmen takes time to improve and learn and become a complete batsman. Kohli took time, so did Rohit and so do all others.

The good thing about Babar is that he is scoring through conventional risk free shots, yes he got dropped today but his scoring shots are mostly risk free. And eventually if he stays and continues to play in the international circuit, he will develop a power game and get stronger.

We need to give him time and hope that he becomes a solution to our problem.

 

[Anchorman]

Would like to see PP's reaction if Agha falls now after all the Babar bashing.

 

[Anchorman]

However, I would love for him to see this home for his side. Would be a special knock and prove that he has an extra gear.

 

[Rayyman]

How do you put somebody on your ignore list?

The thing is you don't just give chances (and so many) to any one and especially not in a format suited to them. I don't think you watched the match as not all were conventional risk free shots, especially after the initial drop. Any better bowling, fielding side will have him for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Babar also does not have the power game to hit big once he gets settled.

I am fine with him playing ODIs but he is not a T20 player and given our already mediocre batting we should immediately find replacements for him and the other free riding TTFs.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Would like to see PP's reaction if Agha falls now after all the Babar bashing.

It looks like he's going to. Would have been better for Lahore if he had got out the way he is batting.

So far he has done well and been consistent in T20I. I think we have never lost a series with him in the team.

If/when he starts failing in internationals then talk about a replacement.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Narine

 

[Anchorman]

Yep. Started off well but he has been poor as the innings has progressed. If he doesn't take his side home, he'll be one of the main culprits for the defeat.

Similar to Babar, he doesn't seem to possess a power game but has a knack for piercing the field when they're in the circle.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Make or break for LQ now.BMac on the crease

 

[letme alone]

good yorker

 

[DeadBall]

Doesn't Dhawan do a similar celebration`Who copied whom.

 

[Titan24]

Good to see Irfan jnr almost touching 140, has bowled well this year

 

[Titan24]

What a shot by Agha

 

[Kashmirilion]

Only in T20s. In ODI, once he’s in he’s in.

Big fan of fakhar myself, but you have to call a spade a spade the guy has higher ceiling then what he is achieving ATM, really needs to sort his temperament out throws it away nearly every game can hardly say he got a good ball, needs to play the long innings even in odis Vs Lanka how many starts did he get??

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Salman Iqbal : in the first 2 seasons we kept on badling our captain and kept badling our playing XI )

 

[DeadBall]

Shot by Agha :

Yeah but he was out of form during that series and the wickets were slow and not good for stroke making.

In NZ he showed a massive improvement. I think he’s much better on those tracks which have a bit more pace and bounce.

Many batsmen go through this phase at the start lf their career and later start converting it. He will develop the habit hopefully

 

[Abdullah719]

Hopefully KK wins but Agha stays not out

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What a bad delivery

 

[DeadBall]

Yeah but he was out of form during that series and the wickets were slow and not good for stroke making.

In NZ he showed a massive improvement. I think he’s much better on those tracks which have a bit more pace and bounce.

So when he fails its bad form and pitches? He has shown no responsibility or game awareness at all. He is the least of our problems though.

 

[Anchorman]

Irfan has lost the plot.

 

[Titan24]

Hopefully KK wins but Agha stays not out

Hahaha it wont do him any good, staying not out while team looses.

 

[Titan24]

If only Irfan can become consistent with his pace it would do him world of good

 

[babajee]

So when he fails its bad form and pitches? He has shown no responsibility or game awareness at all. He is the least of our problems though.

Umm he showed it in the CT and in NZ. He was the only batsman who stood up whilst wickets were falling around him.

 

[DeadBall]

Salman should put away these full tosses. Jnr gifting the game to LQ.

 

[letme alone]

Hopefully KK wins but Agha stays not out

good thing about him he has brain of cricketting.

 

[Titan24]

Agha looks like a solid player and is also a decent off spinner though didndt get a lot of oppurtunities to bowl. Might replace Hafeez one day

 

[DeadBall]

Umm he showed it in the CT and in NZ. He was the only batsman who stood up whilst wickets were falling around him.

Yes, like I said he is the least of our problems and should not rest on past laurels and constantly look to improve himself. He has always thrown his wicket away in crucial junctures in this PSL.

T20 is not his best format. At times he is a bit of a blind slogger.

 

[Rayyman]

Umm he showed it in the CT and in NZ. He was the only batsman who stood up whilst wickets were falling around him.

I suggest you use the ignore list on certain people. It's a good option.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Irfan has given Lahore a chance with that abysmal over.

 

[babajee]

I suggest you use the ignore list on certain people. It's a good option.

Is it available on the mobile version

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Great that Agha is doing this against Mickey's side. So now Mickey knows what Agha is capable of.

 

[Rayyman]

Is it available on the mobile version

I am on my phone

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Great that Agha is doing this against Mickey's side. So now Mickey knows what Agha is capable of.

Playing for the ODI side maybe.

 

[Titan24]

Amir give atleast one loose ball!!

 

[Anchorman]

What an over from Amir!

If Agha brings Lahore home from here, he'll be in the Pak squad for the next series.

 

[Hasan123]

Agha,Talat,and Shaheen should be selected for the T20 series versus West Indies. They have shown enough to me in this PSL that they have the talent and temprement to play international cricket. Let's give them some experience before looking to select them in ODIs and tests.

All 3 have the ability and temprement to represent Pakistan in all formats.

 

[DeadBall]

Amir is the economical bowler we don't deserve but need.

 

[Titan24]

Shinwari also bowls good yorkers, Agha needs to do something exceptional

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brilliant over from Amir

 

[Titan24]

What a shotttt by Bmac

 

[Hasan123]

Very good shot by Baz.

 

[Anchorman]

Bloody hell, Baz! What a shot!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

McCullum showing what you need in these situations.

 

[Titan24]

Now Agha’s turn

 

[babajee]

I want Usman to do well, Amir to do well but Lahore to win

 

[Hasan123]

This is what we want to see in the PSL, 2 young players in pressure situations.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Excuses aside my brother's. It's a issue that needs to be sorted sooner rather then later he has thrown away a start nearly every game in the PSL also in New Zealand t20s Sri Lanka odis. Throwing away a start can be the difference between a match winning/losing innings. I hope Mickey Arthur addresses this and works on this ASAP.

 

[Hasan123]

Good fielding by Babar Azam.
