PSL 2018 Match 8: Karachi Kings beat hapless Lahore Qalandars by 27 runs to remain top of the table

[Sirris]

Come on Qalandars, chase this and make it a worthwhile match.

 

[Executioner]

He is useless as it gets, thankfully IPL franchises realized that after paying him Million dollars last season. He is no Starc.

He was pretty ordinary in BPL too. Spent most of his time bowling over the head no balls (because over the waist would be an understatement)

I think bangladesh A team has better bowlers than Mills. And world knows about pace stock....if you call them pacers that is

 

[Syed1]

Need to introduce spin

 

[Mercurial]

It feels so clichéd to attach TV people (actors, singers etc) to PSL. I haven't seen Australia doing it in BBL. Why do we have to copy India most of the times?

 

[Ibad17]

i can't wait for the matches to start in Sharjah as they are better batting pitches there and Lahore will benefit the most.

 

[Mercurial]

The start has been decent, but that has been the case mostly, what follows it can be hilarious.

 

[Syed1]

Bye bye Bazzer

Yes he is definitely erratic but has got some useful skills that can be effective on his day

[lahoriyah1234]

Bach gya.

 

[Greenstorm]

Lahore will win this easily.

 

[babajee]

Fakhar has destroyed Imad many times

Bangladesh A has better bowlers than Tymal Mills, like faster than 90mph?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

We have a good start. Keep going 1 of them must bat till 10th over.

 

[babajee]

Why does McCullum play as though he’s expecting turn

Treat the trundler like the trundler he is

 

[DeadBall]

Bangladesh A has better bowlers than Tymal Mills, like faster than 90mph?

He's just feeling cocky now that Mustafizur has regained a bit of form.

 

[Syed1]

We are one wicket away from the tail.... need one wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bazzy Bwoy!!!

 

[Ibad17]

Lahore need to win this to make this tournament more exciting.

 

[Executioner]

We have some half decent bowlers who bowled better than Mills when he came to BPL last year.

Pace wise, they bowl mid 130s.

 

[Sirris]

Faisal Iqbal has his notepad closed today. Perhaps no need for any analysis today,.

[Sirris]

Lahore need to win this to make this tournament more exciting.

It would be the first sort of entertaining match of the season if they chase this.

 

[srh]

Karachi Kings is not a good bowling team if Amir is not playing

 

[babajee]

Don’t premeditate yaaar

 

[MABA]

Faisal Iqbal has his notepad closed today. Perhaps no need for any analysis today,.

I cant believe this guy is in the management team for KK. Looks like all the ex-Pak cricketers have gotten some sort of work with the PCB. Either with the national team or with the PSL franchises.

 

[Syed1]

I hate this sohail tanvir more and more... worst player Ive ever seen

 

[Azzurri]

Where is syed today?

 

[Titan24]

We have some half decent bowlers who bowled better than Mills when he came to BPL last year.

Great. Lets hope they develop well

 

[Ellipsism]

The commentary this PSL apart from Fleming is cringeworthy.

 

[babajee]

Shot.

 

[Titan24]

Karachi Kings is not a good bowling team if Amir is not playing

Shinwari did provide the break through but as he is coming from injury will take few games to come to his best

 

[Sirris]

I cant believe this guy is in the management team for KK. Looks like all the ex-Pak cricketers have gotten some sort of work with the PCB. Either with the national team or with the PSL franchises.

Even if you consider him a great test player. The guy has no expertise in t20 cricket whatsoever.

 

[Ibad17]

Lahore going 10+ per over as usual but they throw it away in the middle overs.

 

[Abdullah719]

Don't worry guys even if LQ get to 150/1 they can still collapse to 155 all out

 

[srh]

Lahore is thinking about improving net run rate now

 

[Azzurri]

Fakhar is become a superstar within 6 months. That's why they say stars are born in India/pak encounters

 

[letme alone]

We are one wicket away from the tail.... need one wicket

"thora sa rehm kero hum per"

 

[letme alone]

lahoor lahoor hai

 

[srh]

Still cannot believe that Imad Wasim is playing international cricket with so little talent he has

 

[Executioner]

Great. Lets hope they develop well

Unlikely, our wickets don't help their development or confidence.

Also we employ coaches like Walsh who can make any bowling lineup blunt.

Before Walsh was appointed, our bowling line-up was really good on LoI. We played 4 pacers in SC and we beat top teams. Since his appointment our pace attack is as good as that of Ireland

 

[Azzurri]

Imad has no technique whatsoever lol.

BMac's highest score that

 

[Titan24]

Mccullum tearing KK apart

 

[babajee]

Mills is traaaash.

[Mercurial]

Some entertainment this.

 

[Ellipsism]

Where are those KK fans now?

 

[Rathore]

bazz plz stop talking stop talking now! he got to be the worst commentator ever!

 

[Greenstorm]

We are one wicket away from the tail.... need one wicket

Umar Akmal will hit the winning six !

 

[babajee]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] will come back when a wicket falls.

 

[Ibad17]

Don't worry guys even if LQ get to 150/1 they can still collapse to 155 all out

true. that is why Karachi players are still smiling and relax on the field..

 

[Mercurial]

Fakhar is become a superstar within 6 months. That's why they say stars are born in India/pak encounters

A star I would say, not a superstar yet, it is only Afridi currently.

True. He have made his money whatever he could with pace along. Most franchises have realized how useless he is, and pace alone will not trouble batsmen, infact now a days lot of batsmen prefer pace. Im glad he wasnt picked in IPL. I doubt he would get picked in Psl and Bpl too moving forward the way he is been performing. His t20 days are numbered now.

Yes he is definitely erratic but has got some useful skills that can be effective on his day

Sadly, his day are far too rare. Most ocassions he will get phainty and would release the pressure other bowlers may have created.

 

[babajee]

Why... whyyyy


Kyoooooooo

Why hit that way when you can just launch him over mid wicket

 

[Syed1]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] will come back when a wicket falls.

You betcha





Into the tail now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Boom Boom!

 

[Pakistani Pace]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] you crying?

 

[Ellipsism]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] will come back when a wicket falls.

Should be here any second

 

[Azzurri]

I hope it's not the start of another collapse

 

[Mercurial]

Lol, Fakhar as usual throws it away.

 

[Rathore]

our collapse starting now

 

[Pakistani Pace]

I hope it's not the start of another collapse

It won’t be, im confident we will win Insha’Allah

 

[babajee]

IDC Fakhar better open next match. What is the logic of playing him at 3 when he’s been so good up front

 

[Titan24]

Unlikely, our wickets don't help their development or confidence.

Coming back again and again to Rubel Hossain is disappointing, they should develop Taskin Ahmed. If he improves his game like the control on his deliveries than he can be a good partner of Fizz.

To be honest I haven’t seen a lot of impressive fast bowlers in Bangladesh recently. Abu Hyder Roni had good attitude but lacked pace, same is the case with youngster Qazi Onik. A good international bowler either needs swing, seam with good pace or high pace like in mid 140s with consistency in line and length .

 

[DeadBall]

Waterboy in. Hope there isn't much humidity for him to breathe in and gain weight in real time.

 

[Ellipsism]

Tailunt special coming today. Interpret that anyway you want.

 

[badsha001]

Whenever Fawad Rana showed on big screen, wickets start falling

 

[Syed1]

Bye bye LQ

 

[Abdullah719]

IDC Fakhar better open next match. What is the logic of playing him at 3 when he’s been so good up front

Aaqib Javed wants him to be a finisher I am not kidding, he said he wants him to finish the innings.

 

[babajee]

Omg we could do tuktuk and win this

 

[Ellipsism]

Collapse starting now.

 

[Greenstorm]

IDC Fakhar better open next match. What is the logic of playing him at 3 when he’s been so good up front

He is better against spin. Just played wrong shot.

 

[Fahdi]

PSL 3 is the first time I have seen Fakhar attempt paddles, scoops and reverse sweeps.

Karachi should back themselves now. Given the amount of brain cells Akmal has Lahore is out of batsmen

 

[Titan24]

Umar Akmal to rescue

 

[srh]

2 wickets on 2 reverse sweeps

 

[Cric1234]

Same mistakes deja vu singles and doubles way to go next 6-7 overs.

 

[Syed1]

I hope they send Salman... I want to see him bat

 

[babajee]

He is better against spin. Just played wrong shot.

It’s not like he’s suspect against pace though. He can hit some crisp shots in the power play and get set.

 

[Titan24]

Ramdin will atleast provide some stability
