PSL 2018 Match 6: Bowlers, Hussain Talat help Islamabad United to first win against Multan Sultans

[Titan24]

Poor stuff from Ahmed. Umar, Ahmed and Maqsood, will these guys ever learn???

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shehzad gone

Finn has got his first wicket

Hope Saif comes in next

 

[Hasan123]

Pollard in. Wanted to see Badar

 

[BlueDoritos]

Shehzad has been put out of his misery by Finn.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Haha Pollard in, [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

 

[daytrader]

Pollard in. Wanted to see Badar

Won't be long till he comes in

 

[MMHS]

Who wants to bet - Ul Haq will pick Ahmed in next T20I as well. In fact, I am not sure if he is watching much here in PSL.

 

[Titan24]

Excellant bowling from Finn, getting into rythm

 

[Watsupdoc]

Out karo yaar want to see saif badar

 

[DeadBall]

Don't worry, this Badar guy will get his chance soon enough.

 

[Markhor]

Late Jan-Mar seems the most bowler-friendly part of the year in UAE. Cooler weather is a factor. Remember the 2012 England series which was around this time where wickets tumbled.

 

[babajee]

What is this crap from Multan

 

[Josh]

What a fine knock from shehzad

 

[Titan24]

Who wants to bet - Ul Haq will pick Ahmed in next T20I as well. In fact, I am not sure if he is watching much here in PSL.

Somebody needs to raise his hand up to take his place otherwise we cant blame Inzi

 

[letme alone]

very sad for ntnl hero becoming zero.

 

[Hasan123]

So far what I am seeing is that the big foreign players and experienced Pakistan players seem to be choosing to take up the important roles. Youngsters are hardly involved in the games even if they are playing.

Badar isn't a number 7. Malik is rubbish against pace. Bravo isn't a T20 player yet they are batting ahead of Badar.

 

[babajee]

Somebody needs to raise his hand up to take his place otherwise we cant blame Inzi

Umar Amin seems to have turned a corner.

 

[Fahdi]

What's up with the pitches in this PSL ? Don't usually see carry like this in UAE.

I like it though. The bounce also encourages stroke making if you know how.

 

[Titan24]

Asif Ali with a baloon in his hand

 

[BlueDoritos]

It's been ages since the last boundary in this innings.

 

[Titan24]

Umar Amin seems to have turned a corner.

Yea but he was really good in the middle when he hit Sodhi for 3 sixes. Not sure if he can handle the new moving ball. He would be a great addition in the middle order though

Bravo is actually quite a good T20 player

Meanwhile Pollard

 

[DeadBall]

Asif Ali with a baloon in his hand

Sure it wasn't Azam Khan?

 

[BlueDoritos]

It's been ages since the last boundary in this innings.

Finally Pollard gets a boundary

 

[letme alone]

Asif Ali with a baloon in his hand

hapy birth day for iu.

 

[Titan24]

Exactly runs are there to be scored, they just have to disturb the lengths of the bowlers

 

[Fahdi]

Shadab once again a delight in the field

 

[MMHS]

Somebody needs to raise his hand up to take his place otherwise we cant blame Inzi

If somebody from known face can't do it, then try new face - is this fixed that PAK will roam around 2/3 players for a decade?

 

[Titan24]

Sure it wasn't Azam Khan?

Lol!

May be after seeing Azam Khan bat you might have to eat your words

 

[Titan24]

If somebody from known face can't do it, then try new face - is this fixed that PAK will roam around 2/3 players for a decade?

You are right. Selectors need to be bit bold atleast for the spots which have non performers for sometime

 

[babajee]

A few 20+ overs pleeeasse

But I don’t want Faheem or Shadab to get a phainty

 

[BlueDoritos]

10 overs gone. 42/4.

 

[DeadBall]

A few 20+ overs pleeeasse

But I don’t want Faheem or Shadab to get a phainty

Its not that kind of a pitch. a 110-120 would be challenging here.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Its not that kind of a pitch. a 110-120 would be challenging here.

Agree.

Multan Sultans have good bowlers, who'll make life difficult for Islamabad United batsmen, half of them are inexperienced.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What is rameez talking about?

Just over 100 won’t be enough...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Great spell from Finn!

 

[MMHS]

Its not that kind of a pitch. a 110-120 would be challenging here.

Pitch is perfectly OK - first few overs it seemed little for the moisture; otherwise this is a dream wicket for batting - true bounce & even pace, one can get value for the shots. last 3 Multan wickets had nothing to blame on wicket.

 

[Titan24]

IU has such a strong bowling attack that they dont need to use Russel

 

[Titan24]

Shadab almost took Pollard’s off stump

 

[babajee]

Who’s better Azhar Ali or Ahmed Shehzad in T20

 

[BlueDoritos]

Who’s better Azhar Ali or Ahmed Shehzad in T20

Azhar, by some distance.

 

[DeadBall]

Who’s better Azhar Ali or Ahmed Shehzad in T20

Don't you mean who's worse?

 

[BlueDoritos]

7 overs remaining. 70 runs more and Multan can be confident about defending the total.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Doubt that Hussain Talat will bowl in this PSL. He is a lot better than Hammad Azam for example. but Isloo's bowling is so strong that they do not need him.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Malik murdering Shadab here...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Russel

Stop bowling dibble dobblers...

 

[Titan24]

Pollard taking Russel to cleaners

 

[babajee]

More overs like this please.

 

[DeadBall]

Pollard now getting into the act, more

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yaar please be out

Wanna see badar.

 

[DeadBall]

Pollard gone, lets see if PP darling comes in now.

 

[Watsupdoc]

finally

 

[babajee]

If tanvir comes in...

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Younsta beauty Saif Badar in!

 

[Titan24]

Badar to finish the innings

 

[Watsupdoc]

Let’s see what the hype is all about.

 

[Madplayer]

Badar to play a good one

 

[Titan24]

Atleast Badar knows how to rotate strike unlike most

 

[MMHS]

MS should have played Viljoen today, instead of Bravo.

 

[MMHS]

Is Badar Sialkot based? Similar style of Malik.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Badar already looking very good. Finds gaps easily.

 

[Titan24]

Is Badar Sialkot based? Similar style of Malik.

Yup

 

[Madplayer]

Is Badar Sialkot based? Similar style of Malik.

He is the next big thing from Pakistan. Needs to sort out temperament issues.

 

[Titan24]

Raees has been impressive as captain today. Rotated the bowlers pretty nicely

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pretty annoying how they do not show the speed of the bowler after every ball.

 

[Titan24]

He is the next big thing from Pakistan. Needs to sort out temperament issues.

Yes he is talented but he needs to perform

 

[MMHS]

What Multan is trying to reach a total which doesn't crash their NRR, even in case of defeat. Already has won 2, therefore they need 3 more in last 8 with good NRR to make the cut, even 2 more wins can do.

 

[babajee]

Play Saif higher up next game

 

[Titan24]

What a catch by Shaddy

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Poor stuff from Malik. That should have been slapped for 4.

 

[Madplayer]

What a catch by Shaddy

Straight to him bro

 

[Madplayer]

Sohail tanvir is so stupid. How can you run for that? Almost got badar run out.

 

[MMHS]

Malik is finished to contribute for PAK's cause - absolutely nothing against pacer and next 2 ICC events are in UK, AUS. Should retire in grace and focus on PL, SL career for next 3/4 years; then may be media or coaching.

 

[Titan24]

Rumman is excellant in T20s

 

[Titan24]

Rumman getting the better out of badar

 

[Kroll]

Malik is finished to contribute for PAK's cause - absolutely nothing against pacer and next 2 ICC events are in UK, AUS. Should retire in grace and focus on PL, SL career for next 3/4 years; then may be media or coaching.

Can still be effective, as it's not all about pace. In other other words, Malik makes hay when the sun shines.

 

[DeadBall]

Pommy is too good at the death.

 

[Titan24]

Raees generating good pace and bowling with good variations

 

[MMHS]

Can still be effective, as it's not all about pace. In other other words, Malik makes hay when the sun shines.

Last 2 balls of Russell should have one for boundary for a batsman batting for an hour - he missed 1st one, 2nd one hit straight to points throat.

 

[DeadBall]

Whats the point of taking that selfie
