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.

Like you mentioned, he's average against pace but he still scored 35 runs. He's had a pretty good start to the PSL so far. If there is a much better upgrade, then yes, I agree should be getting phased out along with Hafeez.
 
Is JK better No. 10 than Irfaaan? Can't recall him batting ever, but Irfaaan did clear boundary for few times, once 3 SIX against Aussies.

It does not need some expeert to make you understand that he is walking wicket against pace as we saw in NZ series and now...

There might not be ready made upgrade, but one has to try. What's the point of carrying a near 40 batsman whose range is known by every one?

Yes and we've also seen how he can bash the spinners during the middle overs. It also seemed that all our batsmen were walking wickets during the NZ series.

But not all of them had 19 years experience.And the the man with 19 of bashing spinners was out to Santhners .

Well, now is the ideal opportunity for all the prospects to come in and budge him out of the team. Who's going to take the it? One of these guys needs to stand up.
 
I was expecting Ronchi to come good but he has done nothing in two games. Lets see what he does is the tournament
 
This match has been going the way of a morning session under the clouds at Headingley. Good ball by Irfan.
 
If Dubai curator can keep this bounce, but take out grass; Yasir will run through non Asian sides even on Day 1

Malik - top scorer of the innings. :yk2

He will score soft runs because of his 20+ years of experience at highest level, But, his game is exposed and it will get worse, because in WC, no team is going to use spinners against him. Russell was bowling at best at 120K, and troubling Malik - in UK, more or less every team will take 3/4 pacers in XI, even BD will use Soumya instead of spinners against him - what his chances of surviving looking at 16 months closer to 40?

Russel was bowling between 135-140 above Kph the normal balls not the slower ones while I agree with few of your points

Do you think Shadab could be an effective spinner in tests?

Not yet - doesn't have the control. Batsmen will wait for his loose one & he'll give one each over. Conventional leggis don't shine for turn or variation, rather for their control & accuracy; otherwise instead of Kumble, Hirwani & Laxman Shiva would have reached 600 Test wickets.
 
Walton is showing how true this wicket is. He might not last long for his loose cannon game, but I would have loved to see Smith, Kohli, Root or Will to bat here.
 
Just saw Shan Masood with the drinks. Had forgotten all about him. They should get him in the side given his current form.

Might be late bloomer. Overall stats are poor at almost 33, but guy can hit it sweet. When in form, he'll score lot & score at brisk pace; but probably not for longer period.
 
Why do these local guys play spin off the back foot so much. Lahore also lost their wickets in the same manner. Sahibzada hit a four on his first ball but didn't press forward, next ball paid the price for it.
 
PSL is such a tough league as a batsman, you get no respite

What is this Asif ali guy for.He has not done anything in PSL so far.

This is just the second match of IU.

He played one or two match changing knocks in PSL 1. He is someone who can change a match on his day
 
Walton will remain a legend for this video.

Asif Ali is so mediocre. I have seen him for 3 seasons now and he's utterly useless. I don't know why he keeps getting chances.

Because PAK batsmen are not playing FC games on wickets where spinners need to flight & turn, hence their judgement of spin in flight is poor, foot work is horrible. If you notice, it's not the faster spinner that's troubling them, rather flighted slower one is doing the job. There are thousands of left-arm spinners taking wickets in QeA, but still it's the SLAO spinners are troubling PAK most - none more than Herath.

This one actually is PCB's own special creation - Zaheer, Javed, Mushtaq, Salim Malik, Saeed, Asif ..... were best spin players by some margin and that one they didn't learn from Counties. This generation basically plays 4 innings of in between T20 & List A, in the name of First Class cricket, on absolute disgrace called wicket.
 
A batsman against any PSL team, it’s difficult to target a bowler.

I know - still his T20 stats reads 24/120 (86 innings) and T20I reads 12/113 (In 13 innings, not a tiny sample), which indicates that CPL was more of an anomaly, overall, he isn't solid enough but crispy indeed.
 
If I am to do a short cut job, I'll bring 25 batsmen from PAK and ask them to hit 12 balls through off side - 6 on back foot, 6 on front. Those who can do it for 3+3, passes the 1st filter.
