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

[Titan24]

Good shot by Agha

 

[lahoriyah1234]

We can still win this Inshallah.

 

[Kroll]

Lahore got big hearts, they don't want to dish out a total thrashing to their big city rivals, hence losing a few daft wickets.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

We can still win this Inshallah.

Yes Insha’Allah

 

[Arham_PakFan]

for Agha

 

[Sirris]

Won't mind if a youngster steps up here's and shows how it's done

 

[MABA]

I still think this is in Lahore's favour. If they dont't lose another wicket they can win.

 

[babajee]

Umar Amin is trash. Mentally fragile, no footwork against pace, below-par accumulator. Guy made 30 off 30 and people are going crazy.

Btw Fakhar doesn’t have footwork against pace. Footwork is overrated in this era of flat tracks in LOI. We need FTBs in the ODI team.

 

[Rayyman]

Umar Amin.
The best LH bat in Pakistan

Lolwut

Fakhar, Fawad and Haris are better. Maybe even Imam and Sami.

 

[Rayyman]

Btw Fakhar doesn’t have footwork against pace. Footwork is overrated in this era of flat tracks in LOI. We need FTBs in the ODI team.

Well that's how he got out in 5th ODI. Edged to slip with no front foot stride.

 

[babajee]

Agha has a brain

 

[babajee]

Well that's how he got out in 5th ODI. Edged to slip with no front foot stride.

Yeah I don’t think he should open.

 

[srh]

awesome Afridi

 

[Syed1]

Need to get Agha looks dangerous

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Agha has a brain

Something that the rest of the batsman didn’t have

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Afridi’s spell of 3-19 comes to an end

 

[DeadBall]

I don't like Afridi getting all these fluke wickets, apart from the fact that he cannot see the ball anymore to save his life and play that once in a blue moon fluke innings, he will probably feature in the next edition of PSL which is more bad than good. At least Misbah had the good sense to sit out.

 

[babajee]

Something that the rest of the batsman didn’t have

Should bat at 3 next game.

Fakhar
McCullum
Agha

 

[Rayyman]

Yeah I don’t think he should open.

He himself said opener is his best spot.

Don't have room for him in the middle order with Babar, Haris, Sarfraz and Talat.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Fawad Rana should sell this team.

This team will shelve 20 years of his life if it continue like this.

 

[babajee]

He himself said opener is his best spot.

Don't have room for him in the middle order with Babar, Haris, Sarfraz and Talat.

TBH he might be better in LOIs at 4 than Haris. He’s a fluid rotator of strike and doesn’t get tied down against spinners. Haris is definitely better against pace though.

 

[DeadBall]

Afridi leaving once his quota is over again. Need to get in more serious players.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Fawad Rana should sell this team.

This team will shelve 20 years of his life if it continue like this.

Has he made any profit from it yet?

 

[Sirris]

Afridi leaving once his quota is over again. Need to get in more serious players.

Can't get more serious than taking three crucial wickets.

 

[DeadBall]

Has he made any profit from it yet?

I think he's too emotionally invested to even think about that.

 

[Rayyman]

TBH he might be better in LOIs at 4 than Haris. He’s a fluid rotator of strike and doesn’t get tied down against spinners. Haris is definitely better against pace though.

Bro Haris scores runs and Amin doesn't.

 

[Titan24]

Has he made any profit from it yet?

He can sell it for more than double the price he bought it for, good return in three years

 

[babajee]

Bro Haris scores runs and Amin doesn't.

Not in the PSL

 

[Azzurri]

For God's sake stop hyping bits and pieces players like amin and Akmal

 

[DeadBall]

Can't get more serious than taking three crucial wickets.

They were flukes and proper batsmen wouldn't have made the same mistakes. He's just there due to Head and Shoulders.

 

[Executioner]

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 .

We need coaches to help develop them

Also need pacers who can deliver in tests

 

[Pakistani Pace]

He can sell it for more than double the price he bought it for, good return in three years

I don’t understand why he dosent. How rich is he? His net worth?

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Agha needs to be groomed. He has shown that he has it. By it I mean grey matter that most of the Pakistani cricketers don't have. He has shown that in the domestic cup as well - don't remember if it was 20 overs or 50 overs but he did well then as well.

 

[Ibad17]

same story for Lahore. another collapse. This is taking all the fun away of this PSL.
Karachi's team is not very good but opponents are making them look like a great team.

 

[Titan24]

Should bat at 3 next game.

Fakhar
McCullum
Agha

Yes I would like Umar 1 down with full license to whatever the hell ge wants

Fakhar
Mac
Umar
Agha
Narine
Ramdin
Akhtar
Khan

In such way LQ will have two accumulators in Agha and Ramdin in the middle to support others and take it to the end

 

[babajee]

Why does every Pakistani batsman play that Malik shot

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shinwari gets Salman out-on a no-ball

 

[MMHS]

We need coaches to help develop them

Also need pacers who can deliver in tests

Yes, like 6'5" West Indian fast bowlers, who'll tell our boys - "hit the deck at 3 quarter length and keep batsmen on back-foot on Dhaka & Chittagong wicket".

 

[letme alone]

aga is good allrounder

 

[SameerK]

I don't like Afridi getting all these fluke wickets, apart from the fact that he cannot see the ball anymore to save his life and play that once in a blue moon fluke innings, he will probably feature in the next edition of PSL which is more bad than good. At least Misbah had the good sense to sit out.

Afridi will feature in PSL for the next 3 years at least. Karachi will most likely keep him for the remainder due to marketing. Unless PSL steps it up in terms of quality of players by PSL 6 he'll still be on our screens picking up wickets and having a rare match winning innings.

 

[ARK Rafay]

With this wicket on no-ball. Can't say Karachi dropped the match

 

[Justcrazy]

46 from 36 balls.

 

[DeadBall]

Big no ball

 

[srh]

Usman is damn good

 

[babajee]

Seems like a bit of a dud against pace...

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Need 46 Off 36

 

[Syed1]

Bye bye Agha and LQ

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Smart boy Agha is out

 

[Usman Chadda]

How fast is Shenwari bowling?

 

[babajee]

Bye bye Agha and LQ

Why do you do this?

 

[Titan24]

I don’t understand why he dosent. How rich is he? His net worth?

I am not sure abt his networth but all his brothers are pretty wealthy as well. And double the price he originally paid is on conservative side as Lahore is a bigger name than Multan and Multan was sold for more than double the price.

He doesnt sell it is due to the same reason he bought it, thats his passion for the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Usman strikes

 

[Syed1]

Lq's best batsman at the crease

 

[Sirris]

Lahore should drop the useless local boy umer Akmal and they would be much more likeable.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Lol Qalandars still can’t buy a win.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

“Agha has a brain”

 

[srh]

How fast is Shenwari bowling?

I want to know too; definitely 140K+

 

[mmkextreme_1]

I really hope they didn't rush Shinwari back.

Pace is around that 140kph mark.

 

[Titan24]

How fast is Shenwari bowling?

Not consistently bowling fast as he is coming from an injury however has been clicking above 140 kph on few deliveries. Will improve in few matches

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Lq's best batsman at the crease

Just stop. It’s not funny anymore.

 

[MMHS]

Mac & FZ brought the game to almost run a ball and then both got out to reverse sweep (didn't see, but reading CI), because they simply can't maneuver Imad & mid 40s Afridi for singles with 5 men on line and what has to be a quite acceptable wicket!!! Then Lala is running riot, and these batsmen are rated among best spin players, which indicates the quality of spin play these days (& tells about Yasir, Ashwin, Shakib, Lyon ....). Just wondering what Warne, Murali, Saq, Mushi, Kumble would have done starting career 20 years later.

 

[DeadBall]

Sohail can belt them too, still a chance, but not really.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Perhaps Lahore is the only team that you can't say they are in a position to win, until they actually win.

 

[Titan24]

Why do you do this?

He didnt, just outplayed by Shinwari’s bouncer

 

[Rayyman]

Not in the PSL

We are talking about Pakistan XI and not PSL fantasy XI.

 

[babajee]

We can do it

 

[DeadBall]

Feel bad for Aaqib who said that they had finally found the perfect combination with Ramdin in the playing XI. Heh.

 

[Justcrazy]

44 from 5 overs

Match will go down the wire

 

[Rayyman]

We can do it

Yeah we got this
#DamDamMast

 

[srh]

Irfan is the weak link

 

[KingKhanWC]

Come on Lahore, this is very much on still!

 

[DeadBall]

44 from the last 5 would have been a cake walk in any other league.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Had enough of this team

 

[asadee]

Lol Lahore are so bad

 

[Azzurri]

Lahore qalanders have word possible management

 

[MMHS]

LQ still can edge past it, but not sure about their last 2 batsmen, Yasir can hit. This team is badly missing Lynn - for 3 days running losing game from advantage at mid way.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Feel bad for Aaqib who said that they had finally found the perfect combination with Ramdin in the playing XI. Heh.

Their middle and lower order is non-existent. Aqib should blame himself for picking this horrendous combination of players.

 

[Watsupdoc]

How long is Qalandars tail?

 

[Sirris]

Lol, yasjr Shah is the next man in.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sohail Khan needs to hit few lusty blows.
